[QUOTE="Hewkii"]overrated doesn't necessarily mean one site... and technically, Halo: CE is overrated, if you go by GR.Gamerankings take every site/magazine that has reviewed which means out of over 200+ people that was the average.:|
people have different opinions and you guys have to understand that. Personally i like the game. Thats why i dont no why ppl take reviews personal, its just 1 person's opinion
[QUOTE="R-Dot-Yung"]because they are average FPS's with a generic plot and art style there are so many better games out there its not funny, Halo is NOT THAT SPECIAL and it really pisses me off how much praise it gets, i dont understand why so many people like it so muchMaybe if you compared it to all the other games that came out at the time from a presentation standpoint and looked at how many FPS's had came out recently and what it did different from other FPS's you would know.Not to mention how it's online play is pretty much known as the best console online game of all time.

Easy there guy. No reason to get pissed. It doesn't hurt you. I don't get why some people love games like Rachet and Clank but I don't get pissed. I don't get why nerds love Anime and JRPG's but you need to remember, "to each their own".
? "How is it overrated when it got high scores from nearly every site?"
Because a majority of people agree that it wasn't as good as everyone said it was, /thread.
No...a majority do not agree. Perhaps a majority of SW goers, but not a majority of gamers. Well I doubt he heard Halo was overrated from a majority of gamers, so what is this thread about?

Do people not have a right to like good games there are several games I think have a huge fanbase but I don't consider them overated because they are still very good. I mean you think a game as good as Halo is something no one will bother to play? Whats even more astonishing is the fact Bungie was a pretty unknown company that not many people besides people who played Mac games had even really heard of.

thats very true, and i understand that, but Halo just really doesnt deserve the praise, ive tried so many times to play it and see why everyone likes it and i fail everytime, sure it has pretty graphics and such but its just so dam generic and bland The problem is you can't say "it just doesn't deserve its praise." What you can say is "I don't think it deserves the praise."

Whats even more astonishing is the fact Bungie was a pretty unknown company that not many people besides people who played Mac games had even really heard of. i dont think its over rated because so many people like it, i think its over rated since ive played it numerous times and fail to see what everyone else doesIt's sometimes hard when the game is over six years old but whenever I go back to play it I don't see how it's bad. I mean the gameplay imo is top notch and once again you have played it back when it was first released to understand more.
Then why are people saying it is"overated" when they are both AAA games?:|
I'm not saying it is overrated.I'm just saying the TC is going to Gamerankings even though only Gamespot scores count.........
But I do think Halo is overrated.It's just a matter of opinion.
This thread isn't about scores it's about why people think Halo is overated. Yes gamespot scores only count when a game gets hyped an official score but using gamerankings showing that the average is AAA is proving more that it's not as overated as people claim.

A game really can't be overrated.It's only just an opinion.
[QUOTE="pundog"]Because PS gamers can't accept that lemmings have a great FPS game and they don't. That simple. Spartan070
Pretty much.Fixed.
Hermits know that Halo is a great game. But hermits get pissed when lemmings say that it holds up to PC shooters (equally) and especially the ones who say it is one of the best (opinions can suck, too). This leads to many listing Halo's faults that don't really matter because it is still a fun game.
