Most overrated game ever.

[Guitar Woman]

video games suck

[OxBlood]

Harsh Gitarrenfrau, harsh. Videogames are a unique opportunity.

[lumpisan]

I'd have to say the entire halo series. I could never get into them.... and there are so many better fps' out there

[Guitar Woman]

wow halo is overrated how original nobody has ever brought this up before

[Grislygus]

I THINK POLE POSITION WAS OVERRATED

THERE, I SAID IT

[Guitar Woman]

did you play that Pong game what a piece of shit

[executioneer]

super mario brothers, what's so super about it :rolleyes

[Grislygus]

FUckin space invaders nothing even happens, you don't even havw a life bar

[Esuohlim]

MONOPOLY >:

[HappyHamster]

Pretty much any new game that comes out is hyped up and is a piece of shit... but then pissy little kids will buy them up because 'so and so' said it was good, so they'll defend that oppinion without having an original one of their own.

[Dimnos]

MONOPOLY >:

You sunk my Boardwalk! :posh Or... wait...

[HappyHamster]

Super Alfred Chicken.
All the cool kids said it was awesome and that I was a buttface if I didn't play it.
Damn game sucked >:

[RaNkeri]

WHAT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN ROLL EYES AROUND HERE OR SOMETHING >:

A runner up for most overrated franchise: Pokemon.

I love it, make no mistake. I thought it was a great game the moment it came out, I got into the cards, and when some dickhead (maybe Tadao's real identity; he did look kinda chimp-like) at school ripped up a Pokemon card to show his contempt, I rescued the card and taped it back together. I still have the card; it's Omanyte. I still buy every new RPG game, I carry them around in my pocket, I take my Pokemon to contests to win them ribbons, and I masturbate to many of the female human characters.

Be that as it may, it's fucking overrated, because the franchise has been around a decade, yet for all the technological increases we've made, it's still basically the same old shit I played back on the original Gameboy. You're some average schmuck who lives in some shitty hick town, you procure a grass, fire, or water Pokemon from your professor friend, and you go on an adventure fighting terrorists and attempting to be master of the Pokemon League. It's the same plot every time and same gameplay every time. Would it kill them to have you be doing something with Pokemon other than going to challenge the elite four, or giving you a starter that wasn't Grass, Fire, or Water type? I don't think it would, and franchises need change to survive. I'm still being an idiot and buying every main RPG, but for how much longer, I don't know.

[Guitar Woman]

you're really an idiot

[Bahmo]

Say what you will, but Pokemon is the perfect game to just take and play whenever you're just doing semi-involed things like walking or sitting on the shitter. You only need to just press one button, and occasionally the D-Pad. Also the stylus, but I usually don't play games involving that when I'm on the toilet, as I'm always afraid I'll drop it and have to recover it by reaching into my own shit.

[Guitar Woman]

Seriously

[HappyHamster]

But thats what made it good. It was simple yet addictive...If anything, they've proven that not everything needs to change to survive. Some games do, Pokemon apparently doesnt...

[Neen]

I masturbate to many of the female human characters.


Most of which are minors, you pedophile.

Go on...

[Bahmo]

But thats what made it good. It was simple yet addictive...If anything, they've proven that not everything needs to change to survive. Some games do, Pokemon apparently doesnt...

Apparently not; since people still buy it up like crack. But change wouldn't hurt, either, and it would still be Pokemon if, say, you had the chance to start with a ghost type, or were somebody other than an average Joe.

Most of which are minors, you pedophile.

Not as though I said I wanted to rape them. But if someone is mature enough to have breasts, she's old enough to be masturbated to. End of story.

[HappyHamster]

I completely agree with you, its been pretty much the same exact formula since game one. Sure, theres that addition have having TWO (omg) pokemon out at once during a fight but ... so far, is that it? I cant help but think how a Pokemon game would be if it played out like Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army (why...why does it have to be that long?). Figured that kind of change would be fun. Maybe...


And so you'd jerk it to a developing 12 year old? ಠ_ಠ

[RaNkeri]

Nintendo :rolleyes

[Angryhydralisk]

You know you guys have pretty much named every game that's been considered good.

But on the subject, I thought Diddy Kong Racing was an overrated piece of shit that everyone loved. To me it was like Mario Kart minus the FUN. >:

Also WWF Attitude and War Zone. Everyone clamored when you could make your own wrassler. But what's the point if it controls like crap?

[Dimnos]

I would have to say checkers. That game is totally lame.

[Grislygus]

You know, it occurs to me that Internet Syndrome may be an actual, unidentified mental disorder. Pedophiliac tendencies, repugnant social behavior, and a desperate need for a "minor" mental disorder (Asperger's IS LOW LEVEL AUTISM, you retards, you can't get LOW LEVEL low level autism, you're just a socially awkward loser) to explain their inexplicably pathetic behavior

[Grislygus]

And what the hell was with that Final Fantasy 9, I played for an entire damned disk before I realized that I didn't give two tin shits about anything happening in the whole game

[Dimnos]

FF9 is gay. Thats what the hell with it.

[RaNkeri]

Still WAAAAAAAAAY better than FF8 though

[Grislygus]

I wouldn't know, I never play that whiny, bighaired death by command menu crap (Except for Legend of Dragoon, okay, I'll admit that one in an instant). It's like you always have those nerd friends that are always BLAH BLAH BLAAAARGH FINAL FANTASY and then you actually try one, and it annoys the fuck out of you and you went and wasted sixty damn dollars

[HappyHamster]

Blame the fans, its pretty much their fault that all these new Square(Enix) games are shit... Its all about whats popular, except add in some swords and magical fairy pixy dust.

[Guitar Woman]

1, 6, and 7 are the only good Final Fantasies. Everything else is shitwaffles.

Especially 9 and Tactics.

[RaNkeri]

Fuck you GW, 5 is awesome >:

[Guitar Woman]

The best part about that game is how the main character's name is Butz.

[Guitar Woman]

Also, I say a lot of games are overrated, but this is about the most overrated games EVAR so my actual list for this thread is something like

Half Life series except Episode 2 and Opposing Force
Elder Scrolls series
Every game Blizzard's made
Far Cry, holy shit
Viewtiful Joe
Gears of War
Mass Effect
Tales series
Mario Galaxy
Splatterhouse
Conker's Bad Fur Day

The other stuff I complain about is still pretty good

[RaNkeri]

Only Mario Galaxy?

[Guitar Woman]

You can generally tell if a Mario game's gonna be shit just by looking at the box. It's special when that doesn't happen.

[HappyHamster]

What made the first Final Fantasy good? It sucked balls.... you just cannot tell me its good because it was "the first one".

[Guitar Woman]

The first Final Fantasy is good because it weeds out bleeders.

Like you, you pussy.

Practically no story (presented poorly), very little direction, battle system was .. well, obvious knock off of a D&D system (but that should come as to no surprise)...over all, the games execution was bleh.
Anyone with half a brain could find that game was easy.

[Guitar Woman]

Megaman 9 is such a piece of shit the cutscenes are so badly directed and there are no androgynous villans with 20 foot swords to fight

[ElPila666]

I like Final Fantasy X-2, nice graphix, good gameplay, hot chicks :)

[RaNkeri]

I've heard that the game's girl power attitude starts grinding your balls quite fast

[MarioRPG]

Fuck you GW, 5 is awesome >:

Agreed. >:

[pac-man]

Metroid Prime

[Guitar Woman]

FUCK YOU

[pac-man]

Case in point.

[Neen]

I'm replaying through Echoes right now. AND I"M LOVING IT EVEN THOUGH IT"S THE WEAKEST OF THE THREE.

[Guitar Woman]

I like Echoes the best out of the trilogy; it's by far the most immersive, and the level design is fantastic. Especially in the Sanctuary.

In stark contrast, Corruption is a travesty.

[OxBlood]

That´s what many people like to think, but it´s really just a first attempt at a concept that got good as the series went on. The first few FFs are just tedious today because you have something you can compare them to. To me, the best FFs are 5,6,7 and 10. Started playing those games with Part 7 (not because I´m too young but because 1-6 were not released in Europe on the original systems), but really liked 5´s Jobsystem and 6´s Style. 10 had a great battle system and more or less interesting leveling system.
But 1? If you don´t view that game totally isolated from the later instalments, there´s really not much to like about it.

Just my opinion.

[Angryhydralisk]

I had heard they made the game in desperation. Basically, before making FF, Square conceptualized some really stupid games in the late 80s and it was either this game was a success (That's why it's called Final Fantasy, hinting at the last game they could've ever made.) or Square would've went bust and we'd all be worshipping Deagon Warrior/Quest/Whatever. Which we shouldn't because their first game REALLY sucked balls.

Corruption was pretty much a Halo Lite, but it never got as fucking tedious. If the Wii Remake of Echoes cuts out the goddamn load screen for dimesion-gates, I'd buy it in a heart beat. But that still leaves collecting nine keys just to fucking battle the last boss.

And yes, Sky Sanctuary is fucking awesome--easily my favorite video game location. It had better show up in a smash bros.
