Whats the MOST OVERRATED game ever?

What do you think is the most overrated?

One of my guesses is Halo series

for me it would be Bioshock and Oblivioneggdog1234

DITTO!

for me it would be Bioshock and Oblivioneggdog1234

Yep.

for me it would be Bioshock and Oblivioneggdog1234

Bioshock, Halo series, Oblivion, all of Madden series, GTA4 (Story was good but most of us were spoiled by SA with side missions) and Gears of War.modai119

Makes me die a little inside when people say GoW is over rated.. I love that game to death... :(

Why all the hate for Bioshock? I think it's pretty good (playing it now)

But this is coming from a person who thinks S.T.A.L.K.E.R is way overrated!!

*Runs*

Nah, not quite true ;)

Fortunately for Gears though, BioShock lingers as the most overrated game in recent memory. Don't misunderstand the use of overrated, it was a decent game.

It's not that it's bad it's that it got more praise from the gaming community than System Shock 2 and Bioshock was way more dumbed down than System Shock 2.

I never did play System Shock 2.

Is Bioshock kind of a ripoff of it? If so I guess I can see everyone's point

I thought it was pretty overrated because of the grey colors, and narrow linear corridors. The cover system was good but having marcus fenix and his crew that looks like they're pumped on roids with an attitude "GET OFF MY LAWN!!!" is getting old to me :(

Not all is bad though.... The toruqe bow, and co-op kicks ass!!

Mmm, no, I hate and love Gears, it has the idea of the cover system which I love and invented a decade ago...

But I never liked the aliens, they were too tough, it made it a bit boring. I completed the game, but I don't like when your enemies are marginally more powerful than you. Besides that, the cover system was excellent, the graphics were quite good and scalable, and the weapons felt good.

But the difficulty? was a turn off for me.

A bit overrated yes, but not hugely overrated like Oblivion and Bioshock.

OH! I forgot, I'm gonna change Bioshock for COD 4.

Yes that HAS to be the most overrated game ever, a campaign that is a joke, with primitive gameplay: no interaction with the environment, no PHYSICS!, reespawning enemies (come on!), average graphics.

In before storm of flaming: "lol you should play COD on hardcore, that way the game is longer" so by increasing the difficulty, and dying more times, and being more frustrated makes the game longer, well, that's true...

And another people: "lol COD is teh king of MP", might be true or not, I don't care about MP, I loved the first COD games, and they had excellent campaigns, thrilling campaigns...

So if COD is only worth the multiplayer alone, why the hell so high reviews?

And best graphics awards, etc... I won't even bother with this one.

At least I enjoyed Bioshock.

They were made from the same people so it's not a ripoff it's a spiritual sequel. It does borrow a lot from System Shock 2. I would actually watch the Zero Puncuation review of Bioshock to see the similarities.

BioShock is an exact copy of System Shock 2 (the story is 95% identical and it has all of the same gameplay mechanics), but all of the things that made SS2 great have been cut or simplified to the point of pointlessness.

for me it would be Bioshock and Oblivioneggdog1234

I do tend to agree

cannot comment on the genre that I don't play: sports and mmo

RTS: World in Conflict

RPG: toss up between Oblivion and Mass Effect

FPS: Crysis/Gears pf War/Halo

Halo (and all of the generic console shooters labelled as "Halo killers"), CoD4, Bioshock, Oblivion, Gears of War, Guitar Hero... and even though I haven't played neither, GTAIV & MGS4 are automatically overrated because of their score. :P

Halo, Starcraft, BioShock, Oblivion, Gears of War

Deus Ex, Grim Fandango, Fallout 2, and Company of Heroes suck too! RAWR!!!!
