411media writes: This week we will be looking at the Top 8 Most Overrated Games of all time, and I will be honest I am slightly anxious at this one. I was warned by a poster on the column section that I should never do overrated games as I am generally very nice about games, and this will only lead to me becoming overly negative like the rest of the internet. So stupidly I put it into the choices for the column, but I think this will be my last negative column for the foreseeable future. That's audience participation for you! Anyway, I will be judging this list on games that were overhyped, over praised and generally labelled to a standard I never really thought they deserved.
Looking back at Final Fantasy 6 on its 30th anniversary provides a snapshot of one of gaming's most important franchises at a pivotal turning point.
Gary Green said: It’s interesting to revisit the roots of your favorite franchises to see first-hand what’s changed and what’s stuck around all these years, though perhaps ‘visit’ would be more accurate than ‘revisit’ since apparently, Europe wasn’t worthy of the original six Final Fantasy games the first time around. By the time we started getting ports of these iconic games, we’d already been through the PSOne JRPG golden age. So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly. We aren’t bitter about the delayed releases, honest…
I'd love to but square said fk you to the ps fanbase that wanted these physically. Meanwhile switch got a physical release.
Discover the top 10 hottest Final Fantasy characters, from iconic heroes to memorable allies. Dive into their captivating stories and traits.
I always go Yuna, Aerith, Rikku, Rinoa, and for some reason Vanilla, Ashe, Cindy, Lunafreya, Quistis
I agree with this whole list besides the Halo franchise. The Halo franchise is the most influential, successful exclusive 1st person shooter franchise in the world today. With each iteration the Halo franchise provides new ideas and innovations that usually go on to set new standards for the FPS genre in the future. Also to this very day there has never been an inferior release in the Halo universe.
Many games have been labeled "Halo killer" in the past that have gone on to become inferior product. Lacking the award winning gameplay, and amazing atmosphere that put Halo in a class of its own. Halo still remains the ruler of the land of the shooter, and this article is attempting to remove credit from Master Chief and the legacy that is Halo.
Rated E For Everyone
Just think of all the wasted skin cells from your finger tips that went into typing this, you could have used them on more important things like picking your nose. Now here I am wasting my own cells typing about how pointless this article was, can you see what you have started? In a few hours time you would have caused the pointless waste of millions of cells..... I hope you can live with that.
Being overrated is a question of personal opinion. Opinions count for very little in gaming today.
terrible list
Here are the games that are listed, so you don't have to waste your time:
8. LittleBigPlanet 1
7. The Guitar Hero series
6. Dead Rising 1
5. GTA IV
4. Halo 1
3. Elder Scrolls IV
2. Final Fantasy (most of them)
1. Tetris
The author doesn't really go into why these games are overrated. For example, he wasn't a big fan of sci-fi shooters, and couldn't understand the praise, therefore Halo is included in this list. Terrible article.
