Most overrated game of 2007

[suppachipmunk]

Ok, I have to admit, I waited in the cold for 4 hours only to pay $130 for the Halo3 Legendary bundle. Went to a friends house and played through entire thing until 7 in the morning. I love the multiplayer, but I will admit that it was overhyped.

overhyped and it has the absolute worse ranking system I have ever seen in any video game.

I agree that FFXII has a crappy battle system. I got that game last christmas and I played it for an hour and had to write it off. They should have either used a conventional battle system, or made it like Kingdom Hearts, not that shit in between.

FFVIII was the best PS1 FF I thought.

Kane and Lynch! The publisher of the game really overrates it.

Halo 1 was a true science fiction masterpiece. Absolute must-own for all owners of Xbox, Xbox 360, or a relatively modern Windows PC worldwide. Regardless of genre interest.

In comparison to PC games, Halo 1 was extremely mediocre

Halo 3. By far.

It's just Halo 1 + Halo 2 = Same old boring crap. I can't believe it sold 3 million the first week, it's in my opinion, a pile of crap. I didn't enjoy Halo *at all*.

I agree with the others, Halo 3 was immensely overrated. Halo was just an OK game, it came far from
living up to its hype.

Agreed.
Although Halo 3 is the best game of the series, it's still boring as crap.

In no particular order (I can't pick a single one, there have been so many overrated titles this year):

Halo 3
Heavenly Sword
Warhawk
Uncharted
Assassin's Creed (or Asscreed, whichever you prefer).

And for some added value, last year's most overrated title: Final Fantasy XII.

Halo 3. After 2 hours of playing, it got so boring I never wanted to play it again.

 

[Kenney]

Halo 3, smashed away popularity for good games like Bioshock.

 

[PikaPika]

Halo 3: Awesome story (though there wasn't much of it), shit gameplay.

 

[Sonicslasher]

HALO 3 FTL!!!

I don't understand the Halo 3 hate, honestly. I mean who plays Halo 3 for the story? I've had Halo 2 for years and I've never even attempted to finish the game's story mode. All I cared about was the multiplayer, same goes for Halo 3. And second of all, if you liked Halo 2's gameplay mechanics Halo 3 is just the natural extension of that, so I don't see how someone could be disappointed with that aspect either. It's pretty much exactly what I expected. *Shrug*

 

[sekhu]

bioshock, halo 3 and super mario galaxy

 

[shemmy]

i'm going to opt for bioshock because it was such a fantastic game that just seemed to run out of steam 2/3 of the way through, and forced me to download the pirate version as i could not be bothered with all the drm hassle it contained.

I absolutely LOVE the Halo universe story. I've read all the books and played all the campaigns at least twice for the story material.

 

[c2ironfist]

I'm going to go with the majority and vote halo 3 lol

It's not so much people hating on it, like I said, it's a good game, it was just hyped up to all hell and didn't deliver. It delivered what I expected, a small upgrade over Halo 1/2, but the hype...jeez...

Guess I didn't get much flak for this afterall...haha...

 

[jtroye32]

the halo series is the most overrated of all time IMO. i guess after being a PC gamer for forever and a day, when halo came out it really didn't push any First Person Shooter "wow!" buttons. it's just meh

 

[kellyan95]

Halo 3 was over hyped, to be sure. It's not a BAD game, but it didn't earn 1/10th of the hype and the score was way to high. CoD4 and Bioshock were much better games, that a lot less people heard about

 

[test84]

havent played Halo 3 but from trailers i can say its below average for me.
prefer to play Wolf3D instead of this.
