Article...

:/ :s :wacko: :rofl: :|

Did you even play those games that you claim are "Overrated"?. Some of the Final Fantasy games "could be" overrated. FFVII definitely wasn't overrated. I would know as i played it over and over and over. After FFX i got bored of the rest of the series. i wanted to retire being an ff gamer after that. The music is awesome(FFVII-FFX)

That list is pure opinion. You cannot say a game is overhyped, because somewhere out there, somebody will feel that the game lives up to the hype. Saying a game is over-hyped is opinion only. The Article should be "10 Games I feel are overhyped in my opinion"

I like Assassins Creed games but the game is a bit repetitive. AC 2 is the best because of the improvements but the fighting in AC 2 through Revelations is weak because the enemies have indicators over their heads when they were going to attack. AC 3 doesnt look that diffrent so I will wait because Revelations let me down.

Very silly article just trying to attract page impressions. Of course you can nitpick at all these games but they're all pretty bloody good.

Pretty much.

I did find Assassin Creed pretty repetitive and not very inovative.

ACII improved a lot on the first. ACII is one of my fav sequels.

lol. The OP didn't write the article, simply posted it. :rofl:

so far as my opinion goes some Final Fantasy games are VERY underrated, whereas Halo is VERY over rated. The single player is only so-so, and i do not like multiplayer FPS games :p

WAIT A MINUTE, this guy wasn't even BORN when the original Sonic The Hedgehog game came out? This basically means that he wasn't even old enough to play ANY of the original sonic games (Sonic 1 (1991), Sonic 2 (1992), Sonic 3 (1994), Sonic and Knuckles (1994)). The whole part of the classic franchise passed him by when it was in it's golden era. Granted I wasn't old enough to play Sonic 1 when it first came out, but I remember buying Sonic 2 when it was released, and for their time, they were fantastic games (I'd argue they're still great games to this day).

(..)

This whole article is basically clickbait.

Glad i didn't read it, getting tired of empties and void articles made just for the ads. And yes, that guy is an ass; I've bought all the first four Sonic's games and to this day I've had very good memories of sunny afternoons playing with my friends.

The only game that was REALLY overrated in that list is Final Fantasy VII, because none of the others received such attention and in my opinion were by far better games.

but 343i seem to have done a much better job on Halo 4 (possibly helped somewhat by a little Metroid vibe I get off watching some of the footage).

I say this, and I just find out some of the designers from Retro are now working at 343i, which would probably explain that :p

The fact that Goldeneye - a game that basically WAS the FPS at the time, the game that warranted a remake because enough people just wanted to play it some more, the game that for a while became the benchmark that other games were measured against... It just invalidates the whole list.

Plus, I don't think the Guitar Hero / Rockband games are overrated at all FOR WHAT THEY ARE. Fun, party, disposable nonsense.

GTA? Yes, let's just ignore its iconic reinvention of the drive/shoot genre.

Pah, article just looking for clicks.

Actually, I agree with all of these except Skyrim. (Even though Morrowind is still the best, Skyrim is awesome.)

I am also thinking a lot of you didn't read the article. Some of them he is talking about one specific game, or one facet of a game, some he is talking about the franchise of a certain game, and for instance, Final Fantasy, he said anything after IX has been overrated. Read the article....

I love Assassin's Creed games. But let us be honest... The first one did suck. The story was great, but the gameplay was mind numbing. You had to force yourself to do the same exact thing, over and over, to get the game done. All the Assassin's Creed games after the first one have been amazing. It was a great starting point, yes, but it was still incredibly repetitive and annoying.

He also hit it spot on with Final Fantasy.. The last good one was IX, hands down. Anything after that has mostly sucked.

While I don't agree with what you say, I'll defend to the death your right to say it. Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare was a good game. It brought a much needed reboot to the flagging CoD brand. Any of the newer games I can't comment on since I haven't played them, but as a BF2 and CoD:MW1 owner, I'd have to question if you even played either game if you think they're the same game.

    • Opinion. All you did was blame Democrats for everything. You offered nothing but a hit piece to support your pro Trump, anti union right wing ideology.
    • Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...
    • By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! * One additional problem corporations have that I also do not sympathize with is they don't want to pay to train their American employees. They could easily do so, but would rather not have to pay for it. I find that pathetic, actually. It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
