Most Overrated game of all Time. Mine's Zelda OoT

[QUOTE="madsnakehhh"]

[QUOTE="Snyper-007"] lemme guess Kratos would have to save the princess :roll:

Snyper-007

It would be better than Kratos has to kill daddy :D

In fact, they should also give Ratchet to Nintendo, maybe then those games would be worth again :D

Modern Warfare 2

Yeah, that way it won't be an 8.8 anymore, but an 8.5 :D

TC, how can you rate:

• SMG2 - 1.5
• LoZ: TP - 1.5
• Final Fantasy VIII - 2.5
• Assassins Creed 2 - 7.5
• Mass Effect - 7.5

Yet:

• Wii Sports Resort - 8.5

Did you honestly find Wii Sports Resort to be better than all the above?

Lol! I noticed this months ago when he made fun of SMG2 with his overrated thread. He just loves to attack ninty fanboy's.He's just taking advantage of all the people that hateNinty.

I'm not trying to troll you. I just don't think nobody should be looking at your threads anymore because of the ways you try to show your hate. Who cares if the game is the most overrated in the world anyway.Just don't make loads of threads proclaiming x game is overrated.

It is overrated,in a way.

I mean,i've been playing this game since late 2001,but didn't realise how old t looks 'till a year ago.

It's great,it's magical,but by now it's overrated yes.

I don't agree with your points though,story's a great medieval fairytale,music is one of the most memorable.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Dragon Age: Origins dat jawn be borin compared to the sequel.

ocarina of time? overrated? lulz.

it's easily one of the best games of all time.

if you really want to talk about overrated games look at the call of duty series or gta 4.

I really dont understand why people say everything is overrated. Almost like stating everyone else's opinion is wrong. I can tell you something, if there is one thing that is overrated in this world it is the word overrated and nothing else.

I personally thought Oblivion was a complete piece of trash, but is it overrated? no.

Did you play it when it came out?

It's not overrated in the way you're suggesting, however Majora's Mask does not deserve to be in its shadow.

skrat_01

Unfortunately that seems to be common with several Nintendo IPs. With the best games in individual franchises being in other's shadows.

Super Mario: Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island>Super Mario World
Zelda: Majora's Mask>OoT
Metroid: Super Metroid>Metroid Prime
Fire Emblem: Fire Emblem 4>Fire Emblem 7 (to be fair, Fire Emblem 4 was never released outside Japan)

I think we all can agree that the first Zelda game was a gem, but for me it's been pretty much downhill ever since. Not a downhill spiral by any means, but a slow drawn out repetitive one. OoT was probably my biggest disappointment in the series; it wasn't a bad game buy any means, but a 10/10 I don't think so more like a 7.5/10 and I'm being generous.

1.The story felt kinda flat and didn't really fit in well with the series at the time "now it's all just all complete mess".

2. The whole music thing I never really got and just found it annoying.

3. The ending was blaa and to tell the truth I never really understood it or maybe I just don't want to.

4. The lack of voice acting is understandable considering this is the N64 days, but other Zelda games after it have no excuse.

5. The game play was good but static to say the least.

5. To me OoT was repetitive enough to feel stale, but different enough so not to hit that Nostalgia spot. Like I said it wasn't a bad game by any means, but hardly anything innoventive and certainly not the best game of all time I wouldn't even consider it the best Zelda game not even in my top 5.

Your most Overrated game?

Shielder7

1. Timeline isn't considered when making a zelda story.

2. The game has some of the best music to ever grace a game. I don't know what you were playing.

3. It wasn't difficult to understand.

4. That has nothing to do with the game itself.

5. it wasn't very repetitive.

For me, the most ovverated games ever include any CoD after MW, and Red dead Redemption. The story was meh and the campaign was far too short. Also, there was a severe lack of interesting post game content.

theuncharted34

I started playing it via the virtual console on the Wii, but never finished. I'm probably going to buy it for 3DS though (I no longer have it on because I deleted my account off of my Wii because I was thinking of selling it lol).

On a side note, I finally bought MGS4 :P.

1. Agreed some what, but they should just come out and say it's a reboot instead of insisting it's all linked

2. I was playing OoT you consider it the best, I consider it lacking especially when compaired to some of the others. Opinions are fun

3. I thought it was or at least not very wel told. sillily opinions

4. Was nether a positive or negative point so why would you bring that up?

5. I thought it was thoes Opinions again eh...

I disliked OoT and considered it lacking for the same reasons you disliked Red dead Redemption, but I liked Red dead Redemption diffrent strokes for diffrent folks. IMO OoTs diddent hold up to it's predecesores. To me The Atmosphere, Story and Game Play of OoT were mediocre.

Rest are opinions, I was telling you why I think you're wrong.

Mass effect 2 hand down.

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Dragon Age: Origins dat jawn be borin compared to the sequel.

Did you just say DA2>DA:O?

*faints*

God of War 3 and GTA 4

Have to agree with Half Life 2.

God of War 3 and GTA 4

strangeisland

For me it's MGS4.

Seriously, the game's a 7/10 at best (A 5/10 if we judge it as a movie since it's certainly got enough cutscenes to be one :P ).

For me it would have to be Killzone 2.

Story yeah, gameplay not so much

Finaly Fantasy VII. Part of this is because I didn't play it when I first came out, but despite trying to get through it several times, I just find it boring.

CoD. (It's just trash, nuff said)

ME2 (Designed for CoD players, and Bioware LOVES to use the KOTOR story alot, though to be fair, it did use less of it this time around))

FF *insert number*

GTA IV (Becasue having a winning formula with San Andreas means throw it the window, but Lost and the Damned was EXCELLENT!)

Fallout 3 (as much as I like it, New Vegas beats it up and steals it's lunch money)

Metal Gear Solid 4 (Never liked MGS from the start to be fair)

But now that I have a list, lets be honest. This will just turn into fanboy wars, with people mentioning other popular games to just get attention. I honestly feel what I said about the list (MGS 4 is only there as I never liked the Franchise, but giving it 10/10 is absurd).

Probably Red Dead Redemption. Pretty much the only thing it has going for it is its setting (which isn't even all that historically accurate), and its protagonist. Other than that, the gameplay isn't all that engaging, the story is pretty poorly paced, and there's tons of little graphical glitches. Rockstar set a pretty high standard for open world games with San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto IV, and Red Dead Redemption really didn't live up to it.

zelda is probably the most overrated series of all time, I never saw what was the appeal of zelda game back in the nintendo day, still don't see it today

but i think the most overrated game of all time should go to gta 4

The whole music thing I never really got and just found it annoying.

Shielder7

You're certainly entitled to your opinion and all but what? What exactly was 'annoying'?

Anyways to answer the question Gran Theft Auto 4 IMO was not all that great

Mine is The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Half-Life 2 because game critcis and players claim these games to be the greatest games.

In truth of the matter i did play the game with really high expectations, but o truly thought those games were great, but not the "so called greatest game" ever.

COD

It's a good game, but way to overrated. It's like most other shooters. people say Nintendo reuses the same game ideas too much, but look at Cod. their making an 8th one.

And OOT is a great game. Your just a goat who is miss informed and delusional.

Call of Duty series. May have been good once but ever since Modern Warfare the series just became garbage. While I'm into shooters myself unless if it's Battlefield, Team Fortress 2 or Crysis 1 I still can't help but hate CoD. It's the same game in a different setting. It's community is just horrible no matter if it's on a console or PC. It's an ugly game. Which is what you should expect considering the game wants to stay at 60 fps they have to sacrifice actually making the game look pretty. Shooters are the one genre where I want graphics to be amazing and driving games,

GTA IV. I bought it on sale on Steam for $10 with the two dlc stories. I don't see the big deal. I LOVE III, Vice City and San Andreas. But IV I don't care for. I don't see the big deal. It's still ugly the character models really look bad. The story is nothing special I guess it's better then Saints Row but everyone who plays it hails it as the best game ever.

As for Ocarina of Time being overrated?! What is wrong with you OP? If you are infact old enough to have played games from the 80's then you should know how amazing OoT is!

1. It was the first 3D Zelda game. Since the original Legend of Zelda until OoT we only played a 2D game and a lot of people were worried how it would turn it. It lived up to the Zelda name.

2. It gave us a targetting system, the game had a context sensitive button so the game could do more! Stand on a stump and play with the skullkids, jump off a ledge, grab a chicken etc. It was ahead of it's time!

3. It made the game more about Link. We learned more about Link and Zelda and the world. We saw Link change and Hyrule changed as well. It gave us a story like no other because off the established lore we learned so much of the history of the world and everyone important.

4. The timeskips unlike in DA2 actually added to the gameplay! Remember the forest temple? How awesome was that traveling back in time to get items to access it. The Ocarina was made given such an important role that I would have never imagined. After aging for those seven years the world just seemed darker. It was more mature and the atmoshpere added so much to the game.

5. Music in a game has never been so amazing. Spawning orchestra to play music from the Zelda games and even the great John Williams who created the score to Star Wars. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-qmF1_SnDkIt's beautiful to think what Zelda has created.

6. The environments to the game in full 3D really left an impression on the player. When I first saw Zora's den. It was just great and coming back as adult Link and see it frozen left me wondering what happened. When I first saw the desert and the music playing I was astounded.

Needles to say Legend of Zelda is my favorite series ever. Even more then Baldur's Gate or Mass Effect or The Witcher. The nostalgia for one is something no other game can create. Miyamoto is a genius. Each and every Zelda game has introduce something innovative and always been a great game. Ever since Zelda II Nintendo never tried changing the formula too much. Just adding on to the game was enough.

My favorite Zelda's in order OoT > Windwaker > LttP > TP > MC.

As someone who has actually played it, I'd say it isn't so much as overrate as much as it has aged badly. And it's not like other Ninty games have aged as bad as that one, I still enjoy SMB3 from time to time...though that's a 2D game....

GTA IV. It's just boring. And Half Life 2. Maybe it would have been more fun if I played it when it came out instead of years later on the Orange Box...it felt clunky, outdated, dull.

If it's still relevant today, then it would be still considered to be best game ever.

I played it and i don't think it stands the time like Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3 or The Elders Scroll IV: Oblivion. Not to mention The Elders Scroll V: Skyrim is coming in November 11th 2011.

I don't like OoT, but damn if I'll say it's not a masterpiece. I love Half-Life 2, and I didn't initially. It's a masterpiece as well. I just think a lot of people don't get what makes these games so great. hensothor

I played Half-Life 2 on PC, i thought it was great, but people are claiming it to be "the so called greatest game ever".

Already the same developers "Value" have claimed "Portal 2" is their greatest single game ever made.
