I liked Far Cry. At least it wasn't about running in a pipe.

You know, it funny.  I liked Doom 3 - but even if I didn't, it would be hard to call it overrated because you don't hear that much positivity about it anymore.

HL2....eh.....people made this game out like the second coming, and to be blunt, it's rather bland.  Terribly dull driving bits, one interesting weapon and the rest are just flat out blase, and a plot that just isn't very interesting.  Not like the AI is spectacular either.  All I can guess is that the newness of the grav gun enthralled people, and now that it's no longer new, it just can't grip me the way it did them.

Half Life 2 is the main title that comes to mind.

Halo is overrated, not just bad.

The indoor architecture is horrible. Like this one time, I passed up this room with like 3 hunters in it. You know what I did? I walked around the room. Do the designers actually expect you to fight them? And everything is so repetitive. And it's all hallway.


And anyway, just to keep the action going, they put bad guys everywhere, even when in made no sense what-so-ever. I would rather have five minutes of no baddies than that.

Honestly, I don't really see why people like it so much.

Yeah, Halo is far too repetitive.

Well in all fairness, they did run out of time in the end. Hence the poor level design.
But the granade button and melee were good ideas.

You should thank your lucky stars that they did finally decide to drop those dinosaurs from the game. They were infesting the ringworld all the way to the late stages of development. :shaking:

I did enjoy Chrono Trigger greatly, one of my favorites, but I could definitely see why some would think it overrated. I also consider Halo overrated. Many of my friends are way into it, but I've yet to see what the big deal is.

I'm pretty objective, and I think Halo is brilliant.  No fanboi, mind, but the 'fifteen seconds of fun' principle seems to operate wonderfully. 

The level design is awful at times, but it just doesn't always matter.  Immersive, that game is; such attention to detail that it's easy to suspend disbelief. 

But I don't want to start a debate.  Just putting in my two cents. 

 
Half life 1 definetely.. it was good but not THAT good, besides Unreal looked way better
WoW or Evercrack
starcraft... totally and utterly boring, i loved AoE2 much better.

haven't played HL2, D3, farcry or halo 1 yet to give any good ideas.

Daikatana was the most overhyped game LOL... well maybe second after Duke Nukem Forever  :lol:

I liked HL a lot. I will admit that there were some weak points, though.

HL2 was a true disappointment. It's very overrated.

Chrono Trigger was a good game, especially toward the end, but I have heard some people compare it to FFVI (Mikhael ranked it above), which is beyond comprehension.

HL2 springs to mind. Great game but not mind-blowing.

Also - GTA.
