I never understood the hype about Kingdom Hearts, if that counts. =x

I'd say GTA IV for one simple reason, Saints row 2 is simply better. Its much more fun and you get your own character.

Also Fallout 3, I liked it all the way until I got out the vault then it got boring. The combat system is terrib- *Shot*

To me games that are made after a film or visa-versa (not including pokemon) seem to get over rated and just become cash ins to me like digimon which my bro told me was copied from pokemon.

But that's just my opinion I could be wrong.

SSBB. I mean, really. The hype that game got was ridiculous for a slight upgrade of SSBM with strange new controls and a few new characters, stages and items.

The Pokemon series is also incredibly overrated within its own fanbase. It's basically just been the same game with a new skin since Red & Blue, but everyone gets super-excited with each new release. I also find it hilarious how a blatant copy of an old game is the most over-hyped game yet. The new features and slightly different storylines are nice, yes, but you could really get the same amount of enjoyment by just replaying any game in the series.

Also, I didn't play a Zelda game until TP, and I don't really get what all the fuss is about, either. :\

I agree with you, except here. That's just a lie. Since Red & Blue, breeding, the Battle Frontier, Wi-fi capabilities, new Pokemon, contests, and other things have been introduced to the games.

digimon which my bro told me was copied from pokemon.
Digimon was created before Pokemon...

Kingdom Hearts. Sorry, but it was a game that was about the storyline and the characters, neither of which I liked. Damn, I kept wishing Sora would turn a corner and trip over Riku and Kairi's dead bodies so he could just give up, go home and stop angsting DX

8 gyms, elite four, get HMs to progress further, silent protagonist foils team ___'s evil plan, probably with help of the E4 champion, fill up pokedex, have over 9000 battles, and the pokemon are similar in each region.
You make it seem as though breeding, new pokemon and contests have a huge effect on the game. Wi-fi capabilities are just a wireless version of features that have existed since the 1st gen with a link cable, and the battle frontier is just a bunch of difficult battles.

I stand by my opinion.

Reading back, I have to agree with the Halo thing as well.

Bah, you make a good point. The storyline really does need a rehash.

It's not like it really matters anyway, their releases were both succesful, and I really just think it's a coincidence that they're so similar.

I have to quote your first post for a moment. I respect your opinions and I'd like to make a few comments.

LoZ: Ocarina of Time: Shoot me if you want, but this game is overrated. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great game..It's just not the greatest thing to ever set foot in the gaming world...Wind Waker and Twilight Princess are better.
It seems to me here that you are taking the games on face value. I'll admit, the two newer games' gameplay and graphics are much more responsive and smoother than OoT, but you must look at the intricacies of that game.

Many of the games you play now owe the way their mechanics function to this game. The music score, the 3D elements, the gameplay, the story, everything was way ahead of it's time. This, for me, and many others, make it THE greatest video game ever made.

In that sense, Twilight Princess is NOT better. It offered nothing new to the series, and was just a generic title in spite of all the hype. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good game, but give me a copy of it's predecessor any time.

The Halo Series: Nothing seperates this from the likes of Timesplitters, Killzone or CoD..or any other shooter for that matter...Nothing.
I came in here to say: "Halo 3. DEFINITELY Halo 3". And you answered perfectly what I was going to justify my point with.

"My soul cries out that this is where I belong."

Crysis and Killzone 2 are some of the most over-rated games ever. With all the hype about graphics, they forgot all about a storyline worth following.
You must of played a different Killzone 2 to me because I remember Killzone 2 having a pretty big story with decent voice acting and developed characters.
