    Just lock if this exists.

    What, in your own opinion are the most overrated games ever?

    For me:

    Fallout 3: Seriously..Just what the hell? why is this dark unbelivably disgusting game rated so highly? You can shoot a teddy out of a gun..Great.

    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.

    Final Fantasy 7: See OoT...There are better Final Fantasies out ther I think.

    The Halo Series: Nothing seperates this from the likes of Timesplitters, Killzone or CoD..or any other shooter for that matter...Nothing.

    Pro Evolution Soccer Series: Totally inferior to Fifa in every way, bar graphics perhaps.

    But remember, this is opinion...One person's opinion on a game you may love shouldn't make you hate them.

    Fallout 3's high rating is due to it's uniqueness; there is no other game like it. I'm guessing it's getting credit for originality, which is always good. It appealed me because if its highly realistic portrayal of the Apocalypse without blowing it too out of proportion. Don't let a single gun from the other 120+ weapons refrain you from being open-minded.

    I agree with you on the Halo Series. That was actually the first thing to come to mind when I read the thread title.

    Well, you took my words. THANK YOU.
     
    I agree both on Fallout 3, FF7 and Halo.
    However, some defenses:

    Fallout 3: Part 3 of a series every RPG fan has been looking forwards to.
    Everyone thought the franchise was dead with the departure of Black Isle, but Beth comes along and revives the series.

    FF7: It has 3D graphics which were pretty good for a console game back in 1997.
    No comments on actual gameplay.

    Halo series: It made console FPS games a viable genre. Generic as a PC FPS, (was) one-of-a-kind as a console FPS.
     
    Kingdom Hearts
    Halo
    Final Fantasy
    OoT
    Bioshock
    Any game I don't like and is somewhat popular.
     
    As a note, Okami wasn't THAT overrated...compared to all those sports games.

    I can't say much for Halo, just that it doesn't change much. But if it ain't broke, don't fix it...Being overrated and being one of the most best Online games out there is two different things....

    And even though I love it, Earthbound is waaaay overrated. So was Killzone 2, Prototype, GTA, others.

    Very awesome games, but I can't leave them out as not overrated.
     
    Everyone has their own gaming tastes. Saying something is "Overrated" will almost always get someone mad.

    I, personally, don't like Final Fantasy. I like the concept, the characters, and the stories, but I can never play one for more than an hour or two. idk why. Yet every time I see a game-related poll, FF is one of the highest rated. Obviously, they and I have different interests.
     
    Fallout 3: Good god, this game was SERIOUSLY overrated, I got kinda bored with it. One of my friends even knew how to get everything in the game BEFORE he got it... Seriously, way TOO overrated.

    Legend of Zelda - Twilight Princess: To me, this is overrated. Sure, the graphics are brilliant, but the story was... Well, not really too good to me. I hate it when it followed the same pattern as the others... (Still prefer Majora's Mask, but people will say that it has poor graphics. They aren't everything...)

    Sims 3: This game was massively hyped, but even though it does everything it says, something about it just feels... Well, worse than said. Probably the fact that no expansion packs exist for it yet, but as soon as they do, I will delete this one.
     
    Halo and Super Smash Bros. Brawl were the first games that came to mind when I read the topic title.
     
    I'm probably gonna get shot for some of mine.

    Pokemon Fire Red and Leaf Green: Well I think it's not th *shot*

    Final Fantasy 7: I've known a lot of people who think FF7 was the greatest game ever but haven't passed the Gold Saucer in Disc 1, so that's like before the halfway point of the first disc and don't know how much of a let down it was.

    Halo: They're okay but I didn't think they were like the best, I didn't even like to second and third one. Honestly if I wanted to play a FPS console game, I'd rather play Ratchet And Clank on my PS2.

    Final Fantasy 6: Good story but I didn't like the actual game play, I was more satisfied with reading the whole story from a walkthrough than playing the actual game.

    Sims: They're not even fun to me anymore, I couldn't stand playing for many than a few days.

    World of Warcraft: The game is alright but I'd rather play some Korean MMORPG, but sadly all the good ones require a Koren IP.
     
    Final Fantasy 7 is easily the most overrated game ever, at least to me it was.

    Honestly, I just don't like that game. I think every other game that has been rated highly and I have played deserved their rating in almost every way. Some games I didn't like as much as everyone else but I could see why they would like it. For FF7 though, I just don't get it and that's why I think it's overrated.

    I agree with this. "Overrated" is an ugly term. Just because a person happens to dislike Something that everybody else likes, doesn't make that Something "overrated". It just means that the person has a different opinion. That one person's opinion isn't somehow more valid than the opinions of everybody who likes the Something.

    Ah!, You reminded me.

    The World Ends With You: The Visuals and Story = Great..But I think that everything else seems to be seriously lacking.
     
    Right, I consider FFVII as my favourite game of all time, but I don't think it's automatically the master of all games - if you see where I'm coming from.
