Most overrated game ever..

[Mr. Snackpants]

I can see why some of you think Halo is overrated. The campaign mode in both stink. I just finished Halo:CE. I first got my xbox with Halo 2 years ago. So it's taken me two years. Whenever I play a Halo campaign I end up quitting to play on XBL. The multiplayer is great, so thats why I dont consider it overrated. When you have such good online play it cancels out the poor campaign, imo.

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.

my friend, what you witness was a cliffhanger.. you are not alone.. many ppl were mad the game left in a cliffhanger.

still this gives us more time to see the brutes more now.

I'm actually the complete opposite of most people, as I enjoy the singleplayer far more than the multiplayer. I love the story of Halo. That's probably why.

[The Chosen]

I'd have to say Football Manager the majority class it as the best managing but I don't like it. I prefer LMA Manager.

Oh god yes, Final Fantasy VII. Here's the story. It's about a depressed guy whose angery with this man whose has a deep sexual incest love for his mother. Meanwhile, some evil corperation is trying to destroy the planet. Suddenly, the incest man becomes the main villian out of the blue.

Now, you finally get out of that BOREING ASS MIDGAR level that you'll be on for at least 5 or more hours, also the very reason why one would NEVER play through a second time. The game finally get's better, and out of the mind numbingly boreing Midgar.

So the game does well for awhile. You loose a main character permanetly and early in the game, before you ever even each her 3rd or final limit break. And guess what, the guy whose in love with his mother killed your best healer, who is a female. On top of that, why did her friends let her stay dead? Did they hate her THAT much? They just tossed her in the water and said ,'Well, thats over with. We didn't need or want her anymore anyway.' What the hell was their reason for letting her stay dead? I had friggin 99 Pheonix Downs dammit! I would of spared at LEAST one.

You'll seen learn that the depressed guy is just a puppet. Great, give him more reason to be depressed.

Now these useless monsters come out, cause a little trouble, then become mostly optional bosses. They destroy one of the best looking towns while they are at it.

Now, they have an airship. It works like every other airship, but is plain ugly.

Now, they fight the final boss. Okay now, what? Is Incest man a ghost, a monster, the devil, or an angel? What the hell? Then, depressed man goes one on one with incest man, in the easiest battle in the whole damn game. You finally get to fight incest man for the first time ever, and he only takes on hit to die! What the hell? Why didn't we just do that from the damn begining? Throw a rock at him, kill him early!

Now the ending...oh god the ending. It was better than 1-6, but it didn't end! the ghost of Aeris comes out, struggles with the giant meteor, the end. What the hell? 500 years later, only see lions...or whatever. Midgar is ruined. Where the hell are the humans?

Now lets look at the music, namely, One Winged Angel. Okay, it's good, BUT THERE ARE BETTER! Dancing Mad would of been just as good if it too was given an Orcastra version. One Winged Angel didn't have one in the game, but was given one on the soundtrack. Give us a Dancing Mad one too! Or the Celes oprea music! Okay, so we got that oprea music, a short version in Final Fantasy Anthology, but no soundtrack for it? And on top of it, One Winged Angel is over used and remade so many damn times! Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, I was glad I didn't have to hear it in Dirge of Cerberus.

Now the characters.

Cloud: Depressed man. A puppet. Enough said. We haven't had enough depressed puppets? Now, I personally prefer Squall, and he's just another depressed guy, so between the two, Cloud is better, so shame on me. But Cloud is nothing special. Snake, Dante, Tidus, Locke, lots of characters better or equal. Yet Cloud is the most overrated damn character of all damn time.

Tifa: A plain looking girl, nothing special. You see girls that look like her all the time. She had a better look in Kingdom Hearts 2. Oh wait, look, her breast are the size of bowling balls! Wow, special, lets overrate her too. While we're at it...lets overrate Rouge the Bat. Yes, Rouge the Bat is another super overrated character, simply because of her big breast, and appearence in an overrated game.

Aeris: Okay, while she's yet, ANOTHER ordanary girl, she at least has a slightly interesting background, and doesn't look plain. Yet, she too is more overrated than she deserves. I honestly don't see why people miss her once she's killed.

Barret: Okay, here's a good one. I have no complaint on this guy. Maybe his background sucks, but the whole arm gun thing is good. He's also not overrated. He's rated perfectly.

RedXIII: Another one. Good, original, not overrated, no complaint.

Yuffie: My favorite character, but even still, thats not going to protect her. Yet, another non-original character. And is she even really a ninja? All she does it throw things and steal. Also, what the HELL is with her taste in clothing? Her personallity is also annoying and overused...why the hell is she my favorite again?

Vincent: Meh, I don't know if he's over used, or original. He may of copied Dr. Jekkel and Mr. Hyde, but this bad ass is Dr. Jekkel and Mr. Hyde with a gun. I really can't say anything is bad about him. I may be missing something here though. Dante copied this dude, that much is certain. He's not overrated either, as I believe he's the only character from the game that deserves to be overrated.

Cait Sith: Okay, I hate this character, but he's pretty original as far as I can tell. Nothing else to say about him. He's underrated if anything.

Cid: Another character I hate. He's not overrated either though. He can be pretty funny at time. "If you get killed out there, I'll drag you back from hell and kill you myself!"

Sephiroth: God, the most underrated villian of all god damn time. What the hell is so special about him? He has an incest sexual love for his freaky alien mother, and goes crazy for no reason. Then, he stands around fire. While this has been annoyingly over used (Ramirez of Skies of Arcadia for one, who also had a freaky love for the main bad guy of the game, and went crazy for no damn reason), it's not very original. I mean, all sorts of bad guys did it before. Gannondorf, Kefka, Seymour, Liquid, Shredder, god dang f'ing Cell from f'ing DBZ. What do all of these villians have in common? They are all much more original and better than Sephiroth. 'But he has a long sword!' Big freakin deal! 'Dark clothing!' So does Squall, Ganondorf, Team Rocket (not Jesse and James), Karai, Angel (of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Spike (same show), and an ass load of other characters. But are they as overrated as Sephiroth? 'But he's an optional boss in Kingdom Hearts games!' GOOD! About time someone fights the real Sephiroth. Too damn bad he doesn't die in one hit. But Sephiroth only needed to be an optional boss in 1 game! The other could of went to someone else, like Kefka, Seymour, hell, Gilgamesh for crying out load!

Wow...longest rant I ever did, but all of it is exactly the way I feel about FFVII. Now, while the game is good, it did NOT deserved the biggest fanbase of all time, it did NOT deserve to be the most overrated game of all time either. Sure it set a new standerd for RPG's, but thats it. Nothing else special about it. Mario 64 set the standerd of 3D games, but is it overrated? Doesn't look like it.

[LogicDonny]

Very nice post. It was enjoyable reading it. You nailed ff7 right.

[Shark]

Thank you, I enjoyed it myself. Makes me want to rant on another game...but I don't know what. Also, a friend reminded me of something about Aeris, so I added in... "On top of that, why did her friends let her stay dead? Did they hate her THAT much? They just tossed her in the water and said ,'Well, thats over with. We didn't need or want her anymore anyway.' What the hell was their reason for letting her stay dead? I had friggin 99 Pheonix Downs dammit! I would of spared at LEAST one." in the area where I complain about Incest man killing Aeris.

[愛]

While I would defend FFVII to the very end, you actually wrote up a decent argument for it being overrated. I applaud you for your effort, and I agree with you in many respects.

[Shark]

Thanks ^^ It was my honest opinions ^^ I even stated that I liked the game, but don't believe it should be as overrated as it was. Even most of the characters. I even attacked my favorite character Yuffie >.< Poor Yuffie ;.; *huggles Yuffie* I would mention Rufus and Hojo, but those two are sorta like Barret, not overrated, not underrated.

My next target shall be...The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Wii version at least. I love the Zelda series, but this was disappointing in only a few ways. Spoilers for those who hasn't played it yet.

Oh god this game...I'd love to start with the controls.

Now, I talked to several people about this, and many agree, while others say they don't have this problem, but...when you hold up on the Control Stick, to climb up vines, shouldn't Link...like...climb, I don't know, UP?! Most of the time when Link first grabs onto vines, what does he do, climb up? No. He climbs left or right. Easy to stop and make him go up, but still annoying that Link doesn't go where you want him to.

Now, when I'm running straight, or sort of ease to the left or right, why doesn't he? He keeps going straight, leading me to get hit alot!

Also, when I'm just cutting for grass, my arm gets tired much faster than it does while I'm fighting an enemy. They should of gave an option to use a button for sword play, although thats where the Wii's controller comes into play, there AREN'T ENOUGH BUTTONS! But thats not Zelda's fault. It's Nintendo's.

Okay, now, Characters, this game had an okay variaty, but not as good as Majora's Mask. But then again, most of Majora's Mask characters sucked anyway. Most of this games characters were damn good for a Zelda game. Colin, his faster, those dunkards that help you into the last few levels, and once in Hyrule Castle, the Zora prince, not too many bad characters. I HATE that kid with the red hat though. Annoying. He wouldn't even mind letting a girl get trampled, while Colin had to go save the day. And that Green...Ogre...did he ever have a name? Anyway, he was a pretty good secondary main bad guy. Zant...okay, I'll mention Zant later...believe me...

The graphics were good, not great like everyone wants to believe, but good. Water effects would of been better if they used the Mario Sunshine water.

The Day and Night system, was annoying. Realistic to finally have to wait, but I now know why all three privious games gave us the option of changeing day and night.

The Wolf Link parts were just boreing and annoying. The Twilight Relm made me want to fall asleep every single time. Ugly, no color...may of been meant to be like that...but was it meant to put players to sleep?

Music, okay the music was great. Enough said.

Boss fights, more fun if you stand up and REALLY get into them with the Wii mote, instead of just flicking your wrist like you mostlikely do for the rest of the game.

Large explorable land, very nice.

Story? Well, the story is about a farmer, who suddenly has his friends kidnapped, and he suddenly turns into a hero and stays that way without questioning it the whole damn time. Very odd.

Zelda, as usual plays very little role. Why name the games after her if she does nothing? She had more of a role in Wind Waker.

Ganon...just wait, I'm getting to you.

Midna, now THIS was an interesting character. Screw Tingle, give us a Midna spin-off. I loved Minda. She was a total bitch, and I loved her for it. No matter how heartless and cold she was, she reminded me of me, and I love her for it ^^

The Green Ogre, I wanted to kill him for some of the things he did, but he was my favorite boss, so by the time we fought for the last time, I actually had just as much respect for him as he did for Link. I actually felt that respect as if I were Link himself, so that was awesome to feel about a game.

Zant...now THIS was sad. Nintendo has claimed all along that Ganon would be in the game in a way that we would never expect. And OMG! Zant was just Ganon's puppet! OMG we never expected him to do the same thing he did in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past! OMG OMFingG OMG OMG OMG! That was SOOOOO UNEXPECTED OMG! Zant himself did turn out to be more interesting than Agniham. When he first took off that mouth piece, his mouth looked wickedly twisted, and I was looking forward to this villian. But once he took off the helmet...what the hell? Occocco? I HATED it at first. HATED THE HELL OUT OF IT! After awhile, it grew on me. Zelda has an evil clown character. Kefka, Joker, Reala, Alan Gabrial (Big O), Harle (Chrono Cross), Zatch Bell bad guy, Brago from same show, so many clown villians, I can't even remember them all, but they are all usually pretty interesting. Speaking of Zant, Midna tore him appart, so how did he appear in the ending? That made no sense to anyone! But Zant did have the best boss fight.

Ganon...oh yeah, I'm bad to you buddy. Ganon was good at two things, sucking and repeating himself. He did nothing new. I'm usually a fan of Ganon, but he should of just stayed the hell out of it and left the game to Zant. The Zelda boss fight...oh god, how many times have we did this fight? It was nice fighting Zelda...but god, the same fight over and over again in 5 or so Zelda games...Pig Ganon was an okay fight. Didn't suck, but he dies too early. The horse back fight, interesting concept, bad delivery. As for that last Ganon fight, it's the only time Ganon didn't suck. Although I didn't know there was a super, SUPER easy way to kill him, I had to fight him the usual way, keep dodgeing and attacking. Didn't know that if he charges at you from a distance, you could counter and get a free hit, until the 3rd time I fought this boss. The boss was pretty fun though, and it was nice to finally be able to fight the real Ganon.

The ending, like I mentioned, Zant showing up after Midna tore his body apart didn't make sense, and did Zant snap Ganon's neck? What the hell?

Midna turned out hot, but I somehow doubt we'll see her again, unless she appears in Super Smash Bros Brawl, but if she's with Wolf Link, I can tell those controls will be just as annoying as Fox is to control for me >.<

EDIT: Gah! Didn't realise I was the last one to post before I made this rant >.<

[LogicDonny]

don't mind peanut, he loves the wii version or he believes this is old, Shark I am on the same boat as you.. I dislike the wii version for the very sole reason of the controls I know you guys think I am wrong but I own the cube version and i want my zelda games in traditional control style. I don't want to have to flick my wrist to attack.

Also, you probably remember me talking how I stopped halfway through and finished many many weeks later, this is the first zelda game I believe I ever done that.. I usually finish my zelda games all the way through.The ending was ok but wasn't all that exciting.

To me this game was overhyped to a point nintendo thinking it's a masterpiece. Ha! Link to the past and Orcina of time and heck even Majora's mask are the top 3 zelda games in my book, if I had a book to write my top 3 games.

I will still get the wii version when the price drops and when I get a wii, I'm still a zelda fan and I will still play any new zelda game that comes out.

Exactly my reason for not liking this game. I hated Minda with a passion.

Thanks to your quote, I noticed a typo. I meant 'now', not 'not'. Anyway, why exactly did you hate Midna? I loved her. But it's probably my opinion. But I attacked Yuffie, and I love her too, so what am I missing about Midna?

[Peanut]

You were involved in those discussions! Do you just block stuff out of your head? I reviewed this game like two months ago!

[Shark]

Ah, so you explain what you meant. Well I reveiwed it as well now. Those are two overrated games I could think of that I've played (haven't played Halo as I've never owned an Xbox). And this topic is about overrated games, so I explained why I believe those two are overrated.

Oh I read it wrong, I thought you didn't like Minda either.

I'm not sure why I loathed her the way I did. I guess I just hated her little giggle and every other noise she made. It started to drive me crazy. But the bigger reason was because she was with you as wolf link and I cried everytime Link turned into a wolf because I knew an hour of boredom was comming. So she kinda represented what I disliked about the game.

Phoenix Downs don't actually revive the dead, they wake your characters up when they get knocked out.

To me, Wolf Link in general represented what I disliked about the game. Midna represented a better, less annoying Navi to me.

[LogicDonny]

I remember in the old days of zelda, there was never a companion by your side, it was just you, however you had help but not like annoyance to tell you what to do every 5 sec.
