Battlefield Bad Company games are horrific, i've never understood how anybody enjoys them.

Bioshock is pretty much poop on a stick aswell.

I know that many people have siad this already, but I'm going to say it again. I think the COD series is one of the most overrated on the market to date. Not to say that I don't like the COD series I do. I personally don't think that people should be getting all hyped up for COD games because when you think about it they are all really the same thing just different weapons and killstreaks and stuff. Please no spam this is not a COD rant. Thank you.

I'm sorry, but did you just say Bioshock sucks!?!?! How can you not enjoy one of the best FPS on the xbox 360? The story alone should be enough to drag you in. I'm not sure if you've even played this game. I'm sorry I just really love Bioshock.

I've finished the game, you can see on my trophies in my sig.

I also gave Bioshock 2 a chance, got about 3 hours in that and I just couldn't be bothered anymore.

The style of the games are fantastic, but they aren't fun and the story just didn't click with me.

Bad Company 2 was one of my favorite PC games that I played in 2010 and 2011. It reminded me of Battlefield 1942 when I played that back when it just came out. The Vietnam mod was great and a great price for BC2.

I cannot understand why people like BF3 over BC2. BC2 might not be 'as real' compared to the overall battlefield but BF3 seems too hollow. I don't know how to put it any other way. It isn't a bad game but it is lacking something I can't put my finger on.

My roommate is addicted to it though and he had to upgrade his PC to play it and only it. Not really worth it to me even though my pc can run it just fine. He paid 700 bucks just to pay BF3.

i will dead by tomorrow morning
The Final Fantasy series is something I cannot agree with. I think it has the respect it deserves as a franchise.

MW2 is overrated, but you cannot deny how many games it sold. I don't feel it is a great game, infact I don't think it did 1 thing for the genre than any game that came before it. I think it just had that PC game magic on a system that could sit in the living room. It did nothing wrong, came at the right time and delivered an experience that wasn't too overshadowed by the PC equivalents.

Basically, timing. No other game could give you the halo controls in the PC shooter genre util MW2.

Uncharted series is a summer blockbuster movie genre action game. If you think it is overrated then tell me what you thought of Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, The Dark Knight and Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Any Wii game? Seriously. Don't you mean the Wii is overrated? Because the games sure aren't. In fact their is so much Wii hate that the games are damned near underrated. Or are you talking about gaming plebians making a fuss over Wii Fit and Sports Resort?

Xenoblade deserves all the love it gets and then some.

I am reverse looking up your IP. Prepare to be dead by tomorrow yarrrrrrrrr (j/k).

The biggest one for me would be Skyrim. Playing Skyrim was such a come down after really enjoying the brilliant Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas. Then again I haven't really meshed well with any Western fantasy RPG ever outside of possibly Dragon Age: Origins. :S

About 5 hours into Fallout 3 and I wonder why people even enjoy it, it's just annoying and dull.

I tried it back in 2009 and found it rubbish then, but I wanted to give it another chance.

Resident Evil 4. I just couldn't get into the new gameplay style.

Final Fantasy VII is not overrated, it was groundbreaking for it's time.

The most recent Grand Theft Auto titles have been extremely overated in my opinion. The stories aren't very interesting, and the gameplay is the same as previous titles.
I don't know, GTA4 just wasn't that great.

I would say the same for Resident Evil 4 as it invented the over the shoulder camera that most if not every third person shooter uses now. :D

Just b/c it was "groundbreaking" back then, doesn't mean it's the same quality now. If it aged to the point where it's not a good game, then its score should be tooken w/ a grain of salt. If ppl come into the game nowadays (which provides a lack luster experience), why can't they state the current standings of its qualities? It is overrated.

I am a huge Bethesda fanboy i bought an original xbox back in 2003 just to be able to play morrowind after playing it on a friends pc and being instantly hooked but unable to afford the £800 for a fast enough PC back then to play it on.

That being said i was hugely disappointed by Skyrim i pushed through it but felt let down it was so cut down and aimed at people who didnt play Morrowind or Oblivion and i really couldnt see why everyone was going so mental over it.

I love Fallout 3 and New Vegas although i felt New Vegas slightly inferior to F3 but not nearly as bad as Skyrim.

Ive always thought Halo was overrated even back on the original xbox.

Fable also i cant get my head around why everyone loves it

I think people are saying Bethesda just because they are a big company , Fallout 3 and Skyrim are obviously brilliant games and there is really no disputing that. The sheer amount of work put into them and the worlds within them are great. But personally i think the Portal series is overrated.

Lot of COD love in this thread, isn't there? :p I pretty much will go with that as well since every one past 4 has been similar and while I enjoy the campaigns etc, MP to me can be a broken mess especially when it came to MW2 with people cheating to prestige 10 via hacking and whatnot!

Skyward Sword is a game I feel is pretty overrated despite me being a Zelda fan but that world to me is lifeless and barren and believe you go through certain areas multiple times! Twilight Princess might not get a lot of love but I honestly preferred it to SS!

First Assassin's Creed is definitely overrated in my opinion! Lack of mission variety and the cities to me looked the same hence I got bored half way through and never finished! Love II & Brotherhood (haven't played enough Revelations) though!

GTA IV is another! I enjoyed it but to me, San Andreas is the superior game and I feel Saints Row 2 was more enjoyable in 2008 than it!

I wouldn't say Assassin's Creed 1 is overrated. I haven't heard anyone but myself give positive words towards it.
