Most Overrated Games

D2 IS an RPG. :/
You bash monsters, you level up, you put points into your skills and stats. What's not RPGey about it?

Christ, everyone is so hostile on this board.

We know :D

Which is exactly not the definition of a RPG!!!

Ever played pen and paper? The most important thing of RPGs is the story and the ROLEPLAY. The history of D2 is just an excuse to bash monsters.
This is not bad. I said already that I had fun with it, but it is definitely NO RPG!

D&D FTW.

I thnk the most overrated game is Halo 2. >_< just...blech.

Final Fantasy 7 is also overrated, (its so funny how FF7 fanboys compare everything to Sephiroth ).

And now Ree-c got sucked in...:/

Final Fantasy VII, no question. Completely overrated simply because it was the first RPG a large majority of the US played. I can't even PLAY the game now because the graphics are so dated and the gameplay was never very good to begin with. Yes, the story is good, but honestly, when the best part about a _game_ is the _story_, there is a serious problem that needs to be fixed.

Halo is also similarly overrated for the same reason. It was the first internet/LAN-enabled first-person shooter a lot of people played. As someone who played the genre on the PC, I already knew it was fun, but there is something about the first one that you played that makes you like it more. Personally I have a rather soft spot for Quake 2, despite knowing all about the game's numerous flaws. It's the same for Halo for a lot of people.

Ocarina of Time was a 10/10 game, but it IS starting to show its age at this point. There are a few things wrong with it (Going in the menu repetitively in the Water Temple to switch boots FTL), but I wouldn't say it's overrated at all.

Personally, I still think Chrono Trigger is the best game of all time, so its obvious what my opinion on that is, but obviously, if you dislike the genre, you're probably not going to share my opinion.

CT was an amazingly done RPG for the Super Famicom (SNES)
A JP. only RPG series known as SaGa (Final Fantasy Legend on the original GameBoy) spawned a Super Famicom (SNES) series, Romancing SaGa, those games were brutally tough as far as RPG's go
I can list many others.

You better be listing those as overrated.

Mef, I'll give some random person on the streets $83.42 if I like TP better
than OoT. We Zelda fanboys take great pride in being Zelda fanboys.

I'll take that money.

Gutar Hero 1 was good. GH2 might be over rated

 

[Maou-Shin Daioka]

Shadow the Hedgehog was REALLY overrated
And for a crappy ending like that?
....I wasted my money..... -_-.

Dude. Trogdor and Dethklok. It already is the best game ever, so I guess you're right.
