That also indirectly reminds me that Morrowind is the worst game I've ever played in my life

I'll admit I haven't played very far into it, but I don't see what was so special about Odin Sphere aside from the artwork and visuals. It just made me think that making a 2D game on a console in this day and age will make retro fans go gaga even if there's kinda a lack of fun.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is way less fun and interesting than most of my faggy friends had hyped it up to be.

I tried it once and it seemed like an okay 3D Platformer, with loads of crude humor thrown in, including but not limited to swears and feces. I always liked Mario 64 better, but then again, who didn't.

To tell you the truth, and I feel like GW here for boldly going against the grain of popular opinion but I really didn't like Mario 64 all that much [/spoils]

I got another one: Deus Ex. Why are people so obsessed with this game. It's really not that great. The combat system is the worst I have EVER seen in an FPS. I realize it's not a straight FPS, but a RPG/FPS hybrid, but that doesn't mean they have to make the shooting system in the game suck so hard it actually ruined the game for me! Seriously, it's mediocre at best.

It's probably been said but FFVII is highly overrated. It's good but not nearly good as a lot make it out to be.

Makes sense. If you're going to play a junk game you might as well play it on a junk computer.

I have never played a single FF game, but I can tell you that FF7 and 8 are overrated just by looking at the search results for them on DeviantART.

Just the fact that the made a movie and a couple spin-off games (not to mention the other merchandising) off of FF7 is evidence enough that it's highly overrated.

Yeah, it's incredibly overrated, but it was a really fun game. What bugs me about that is that it was a game that I really enjoyed on my first playthrough, and now it's hard to get into it again because so many people are obsessed with it. It's not just a little overrated either, because so many people hail it as the greatest game of all time and nothing will ever top it.

Um, they made spin-offs and a movie about Mario and Street Fighter 2 (I'm not aware of FF7 having a Where's Waldo-type book, although feel free to enlighten me if I'm wrong). Are they considered highly overrated?

As far as FF7 being overrated, I'm a bit torn. I thought it was okay. My beef with it was it was riddled with the stupidest minigames I've ever plodded through, like the snowboarding with the dumbass controls, and performing CPR on the girl, and the Rufus Shinra welcoming display. But when it knocked off that minigame crap and delivered solid RPG gameplay, it was fairly decent. I was also impressed with the graphics (I played through it last summer, for what it's worth)... well, mostly. I mean, Rufus looked like the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.

Now, on one hand, there's the "BEST GAME EVER" folks. But I've actually heard more people call it garbage than I have heard it called "Best Game Ever", and most people, even most of the people who call it "Most Overrated Game Ever" seem to only call it "average".

I definitely lean to it being overrated, given all the cosplayers and copycats (like that Zap! webcomic) and how the GameFAQs Character Battles always come down to Cloud vs. Link or Sephiroth vs. Mario, but I think the title of "Most Overrated Game Ever" should go to a game that's actually bad.

At least you can look at the game itself and find inspired monster designs, color, and intriguing scenery, as opposed to Shadow of the Colossus teaching people that brown and gray and a sun that's timefrozen midway through a supernova are preferrable to all of that.

1. "Mario" is a franchise, not a single game. If they started making spin-offs and movies about Super Mario Bros. 2, then yes, that would likely be an overrated game.

2. SF2 saw all sorts of corny merchandise tie-ins, including GI Joe-style action figures with vehicles for some reason. In that respect, yes, it was completely overblown just like Mortal Kombat would be overblown a few years later. However, the game also did a lot for the SF2 series in terms of game mechanics, including the introduction of the "combo" attack, whereas a game like FF7 had only minor additions to the basic gameplay.


Finally, you're wrong in saying that a game should have to be bad to be overrated. It just has to be not as good as people claim that it is, such as when people talk about FF7 like it was the pinacle of RPGs. That sets the bar way too high for such an "average" game.

As for your comment on how SotC looked, I could care less how a game looks as long as it's entertaining. And I enjoyed Shadow of the Colossus.

I didn't say a game had to be bad to be overrated, I said it should be bad to be the "most overrated game ever".
