Most Overrated Game

[Schnookumnookum]

What do you think the most overrated game is? After all the ratings and reviews of Super Mario Galaxy 2 came in, I'm starting to think that game was extremely overrated.

 

[Psychonaut]

was just about to say that.

also, patapon, dear god, patapon.
earthbound/mother is pretty overrated, too, imo.
and, it's probably just me, but I don't understand the craze for/about monster hunter. it's just endless, pointless grinding, yes? an MMORPG without the MM (or O for that matter), am I missing something?

But idz for the wii

playing/played the psp version, monster hunter 2 freedom.

I understand that it's supposed to be hard/very grind-heavy, but what's the point of it? to clear all the missions/upgrade your armor/weapons, x infinite?

Hm, I think Earthbound, I played some of it on an emulator, and I must say, it kinda sucked. However, if they made a remake, I would be interested in playing it.

@Psychonaut You can set whatever goal you want, like in MH3, my goal is to beat Alatreon and get full armor and weapon from him. Then I will probably help other people until a new event comes out for me to do.

you can do that with practically anything.

s' like saying earthbound/<whatever game/thing you wanna insert> is the best because I can set whatever goal I want.

tl;dr, wat.

Minecraft to an extent.

The people at the Minecraft forums lick the dirt that Notch walks on xD

Yeah, now that I think about it, probably that. It is a good game, but it is missing a lot.

@Psychonaut True, but Monster Hunter is basically based around that idea.

Super mario galaxy 2
Final fantasy 7

from what I've seen/messed around with... it's more or less the same thing as monster hunter... which is, a sandbox game. a highly creative sandbox game, yes, but still a sandbox/do what you want-styled game.

not that this is bad.. I just don't see the point in this kind of a game, when it's all that the game offers.

for instance, I love dicking around in tf2's sandbox maps (<3 mario kart), but that isn't why I got the game. I love hatching eggs and breeding x infinite in pokemon, but the goal of that was to eventually be able to use the result children pokes in either battle tower fights, or player vs player battles. then I learned about shoddy battle. Q.Q

it's just kinda strange, imo, that a game like that thrives so well, when it's more or less... lacking in the game/goal-aspect, by which I mean things that the game tells you to do. but it's a new generation of gaming, I guess. or not. thoughts?

If you play MH3, it has somewhat of an offline story mode. I mean, it isn't just random quests being shot at you.

Oh, and the end of the offline game boss is just plain awesome.

Guitar Hero.

 

[Mr. L]

Minecraft, it's really fun for sure, but not super awesome like what some people think.

 

[Ron Ronaldo]

Final Fantasy 7, anyone?

It is a good game, though. Just kind of archaic.

 

[Micah]

Anything Legend of Zelda.

 

[LaserGirlFetch]

I agree with Micah.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Trying to think of something not Call of Duty and not Halo because that's just to obvious. :L But I gave up.

 

[Megamannt125]

The Legend of Zelda: Overrated of Time.

Also, Mother being overrated is pretty ridiculous.

 

[NikoKing]

There are a LOT of overrated games (Ocarina of Time much?), but if I were to list just a few of my personal opinions they would have to be OoT, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Final Fantasy 7 & 8, and more that I really can't think of :\ . While these are good games, they just get so many people obsession over them.
