True, but to be over rated, the game has to by definition be rated. It sort of has to be a pretty popular game. No point saying Space Station Silicon Valley on the n64 because about 5 people played it.
Good point, I still think people like to troll the hell out of these threads though.
I cant really think of any series that I think is over rated. Closest thing would be the Final Fantasy games, I never really got the whole turn based thing. But over rated? Not really its just not my cup of tea.
Nunchuck my arse! When I first saw it I thought 'That will be brilliant for sports games like golf or tennis' however it was so inaccurate they had to bring out a new controller add on to improve it's effectiveness. I'm sure a lot of people may disagree but personally I thought it was soooo over hyped and it never really worked to well.
Did you know - the sensor technology in the Wii remote controller is borrowed/inspired by a washing machine.
GTA IV
LA Noire
Halo (whole franchise)
Most Call of Duty games
Mario Kart - sorry but how many of these bloody games can you have? There's like 7 of them out

you're actually critiising a company for trying to fix a problem with their controllers?

Well I appreciate the fact that they did release an improved controller but the way the original was built up and explained, e.g. 'Hold it like a racket and hit the tennis ball where you want it to go', I had expected it to be alot more accurate. So I thought I was a disappointment when I realised what they had promised required me to pay then some more money!
Skyrim's so boring. Just running around and hitting things with swords, I mean, come on, where are the guns and headshots??
Why you little !! You take that back !!
Ah no. I read this thread from the most recent post up the way (weird way but its how I do it) ... And I was thinking, at least nobody had the nerve to say Skyrim. But there's always one isn't there .........:rolleyes:
Irrelevant of whether you like the game or not (it is not for me) the game scored 10's pretty much across the board at release and only the most ardent fan boys would say that it deserved that.

:eek::eek: I loved that game as a kid. I played it recently and my god the controls are dodgy.
For me an over rated game would be Super Mario on the DS and on the Wii, I haven't finished either of them which is odd for me
Dragon Age: Origins. I love it of course, but with the release of the disappointing Dragon Age 2 it suddenly started being worshipped as this epic masterpiece when it simply isn't.
GTA IV: Almost universal 10/10 scores? What a joke. It barely scrapes a 7/10. All hype and barely any substance. Seriously, I spent almost the entire time playing it going "is this it?" and "when does this get fun?".
LA Noire: I wish people would stop banging on about how innovative and brilliant it is. Yes the facial animation and voice acting is great but it's a glorified point and click adventure with repetitive gameplay and it's very flawed.
Fallout: New Vegas. Yeah, good game, but I'm tired of hearing how it's soooo much better than Fallout 3 because of it's amazing plot and couple of references to the earlier games. It's plot is no better than the mediocrity of Fallout 3's and seriously, who cares? I don't care about my character or the stupid factions or who shot me....I just want to explore the world and do sidequests and NV was vastly inferior to FO3 in this regard.

When you have to buy the fixed controller then they do deserve to be criticised.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Only kiddin, swords not your thing eh ?
For a game which called itself Halo: combat evolved it was a pretty basic FPS
Forza 4
COD:MW2 & 3
Final Fantasy
All the above are very playable for me, except Final Fantasy.
