Most overrated game ever.. - Page 2

Final Fantasy X (Not 10)

It's not worth all the praise it recieves.

Ra · 01-18-2007, 08:54 PM

The Final Fantasy series is okay, but yeah, it's way over rated for it's own good (however, I do enjoy watching the rabid fan girls oggling over Cloud

Ah...how I do love teasing those fans...) The stories are okay from what I've played (Seven and I think eight. The one with the gunblade in it), but I just don't really like the battles and the controls. But maybe that's just me *shrugs*

Also the Spyro series has become waaay over rated. The first three original games were great, but the latest one just seemed a bit washed out to me. The trailer for the game is like an epic "The Da Vinci Code" trailer, complete with a choir of people singing with an orchestra pulling out dramatic chords over the top. Along with all of these big name Hollywood stars providing voices. What happened to the simpler time of Spryo trying to stop the Sorceress from stealling all of the dragon eggs in order to become beautiful forever? Instead we have Spyro trying to save the world from the darkness that is of a dark dragon with dark minions and dark crystals in a dark world with dark darkness...

...yeah, I'll stop now

Spyro? Overrated? A game that gets no praise and crappy reviews can't be overrated, just as a heads up.

Who called Spyro oveerrated? Lol. Spyro is underrated. the best spyro games were the first 3 on the ps1 and only the best.. if you can, get the spyro collection for ps1.. it's worth the price if u can find it.

*Spitfire* · 01-19-2007, 12:23 AM

I had all 3 Spyro games I still think I have one of them somewhere. I liked them as a kid but I never went back to them. I liked Crash Warped alot but I lost it, I still have Crash 2.

*Masked Ninja* · 01-19-2007, 01:16 AM

I've never played FFVII, so I can't complain about the overrating thereof. But I do have a question, just out of curiosity: if FFVII is so overrated, what's your guys' favorite Final Fantasy?

And Spyro... heh.

I've always liked Hunter, just because he's a cheetah. He's a tad annoying, and I'd like to see his design smoothed out a bit, but still... he makes me smile just for being there.

Nononononono. Not like that!

I mean in the advertisements for the latest game (I really should think before I post

) And yeah, every game made after the third instalment has been absolutely crap. I should know, since I own "Enter the Dragonfly" *shudders uncontrolably*

A good example was that I was babysitting my neighbours one day. The three of us, the two kids and myself, were watching TV. Then the new ad for Spyro came on. It was the first time any of us had seen it. The kids were excited, after all, their friends kept on going on about how good the ads were. I, however, was not. But still, the kids I was looking after AND all of their friends at school were absolutely flipping for this ad, and just couldn't wait until they got the game

Halo.

I went there. I've played it. It's crap.

Oh, and Dead Rising. Third party waste.

Oh noes if Nintendo didn't make it's evil

DR is a great arcade style game. Guess I just like gore and zombies alot <_<

Peanut · 01-19-2007, 11:28 AM

Dead Rising was waaaay overrated. If it had come out anywhere but the huge drought it debuted in, it would probably have gotten trashed. The game is just broken. Poor design choices and such. It's still fun to play, though.

And yeah, Halo is way overrated too.

*Dr. Doom* · 01-19-2007, 12:16 PM

A lot of people mentioned FFVII (I'm not even gonna get into whoever mentioned OoT), and I wanted to add that I stayed away from this game for a good 9 years until I actually sat down and beat it this past May. The reason I avoided it for so long is that I used to carry the impression that it was overrated due to the overwhelming amount of rabid fan-people the game had. Just a natural reaction, I guess. But then all the hype over Advent Children was going around and I ended up hearing some really amazing music from the game, and when I actually gave it a chance I was very impressed with everything about it and became hooked on some of the characters, especially Vincent, who I'd count among my favourite VG characters overall at this point.

FF VIII. I absolutely adored that game, which is quite unusual because I'm not an RPG fan and I very much disliked VII. Perhaps it's more about personal taste than anything else, but I really loved the graphics, the futuristic setting, and the overall storyline.

Even though it came out in a dry period it still sells like mad though so in a sense doesn't that sorta prove it's successful.

I agree it's overrated but I still love it, though I don't know if I could bare beating story mode again, and the only thing I haven't done is survival mode to get the sword.

Peanut · 01-19-2007, 03:56 PM

It doesn't sell like crazy. Stop saying it does.

Halo...

I am brand new to the series and really xbox in general as I just got a 360 for Christmas and had never played an Xbox title before. I figured even though it was a xbox title, the proper way to break in my 360 was to play THE xbox game thats talked about left and right. So I picked up Halo 2. I just finished it yesterday actually and overall I was very, very underwhelmed. Obvioulsy the ending is a TOTAL letdown but even the final boss battle (if you can really call it that) was crap. The battle had basically just begun and I don't think I hit him once when I all of sudden I hear something like "noooooooooooo"; he must of fell off of the platform. Enter cutscreen and terrible ending.

It was a solid game dont get me wrong. Just not fantastic. It was no Metal Gear title for me thats for sure. I'll definately pick up part 3, but I wont be camping out for it. The online component though is pretty fun.

*Dr. Doom* · 01-19-2007, 06:03 PM

Also, my favorite Final Fantasy is 9, which incredibly underrated in my mind.

Over a million copies is pretty damn good. That was months back it hit that so it's higher now. It's one of the most purchased 360 games.

I think as it stands Oblivion is still the #1 360 game in terms of sales. I don't think Gears has caught up yet.

Peanut · 01-19-2007, 08:23 PM

Dead Rising just broke 1 million units shipped, dude. Just. And only shipped, not sold. And Gears is already at 3 million, so Oblivion isn't top selling.
