Agree with you dude, Halo is very run off the mill. Just been playing the original for the last 2 hours and the whole game is basically the same circular room repeated over and over again with either aliens or zombies in it.

I agree with this guy about Halo, it is very repetitive, I also think a GTA game should be in there, it is also always the same, and I doubt GTA 4 will change the formula

Goldeneye ====> totally disagree, that game was da' bomb FPS in its day.

Final Fantasy 7 =====> I sort of agree. A big reason why it sold so well was because Sony gave it a big marketing push. It was a good game no doubt but not legendary like Zelda:OOT or Mario64 (or even GTA 3).

I've always thought the same myself! As a PS Owner and fan, I must say that Halo is not a bad game by any means. I have the original on my PC. It was just hearing people say that it is the best shooter ever and hearing all the critical acclaim and hoopla aggravated me so much when I thought it didn't deserve all that.

The first shooter I ever got into was counter-strike and I must say as a matter of my own opinion, I believe deserves more accolades than halo ever should, especially since the game has been around for ages and it is still one of the most re - playable games ever made.

Wow you are clearly a mature adult who can communicate his opinion properly with the English language. Try spelling "should" right next time and I'll consider what you said.

FF fans should know that the best FF was 6.

FF6>FF3>FF7>FF8

Sorry, but just because you like a franchise doesn't mean one of the games wasn't terrible overrated. FF7 was a great game, but not the best game of all time, and not even the best game in the dang series! If your a FF fan, you should enjoy the fact that so many people think FF7 was so great, when you know it's not even the best.

The best in the series has alaways been disputed between 6 and 7, for most 6th had a better storyline but the gameplay mechanics and minigames (such as chocobo breeding) of 7 compensated since the story was never that far behind. Another thing that tend to give ff7 the title for most gamers is its varied areas such as underwater. FF3 was a good game but it has nothing to be remembered for, neither the story nor the gameplay were impressive, 8th on the other hand although the storyline was weak its binding magic system was interesting enough to remember the game also it introduced the world minigame theme that became so popular in the next games by adding the card game.

So for most peost people FF7=(disputed goodness)=FF6>FF8>FF3

@rooftrellen - FF3 is a pile of crap, honestly it has the worst (old) levelling system and the story is so bad, you don't even get to know about your characters, you're just thrown in to a battle. That is really bad in an RPG.

I haven't played FF6 or 7, but I've heard they are good, don't know which is better, although I really liked FF8. 8 was the last good one IMO.

Yeah I mean it's like because they are great it makes them overrated somehow! Makes perfect sense! I freakin hate people who say the won't play a game because it's "overrated". Well then F you and miss out on great games everyone else is playing.

I must also say that I am not a fan of FF titles. Not because of the story, the graphics, no. I am not a fan because when it comes time to battle I don't get to actually use my sword/gun/magic/kick in the shin,poke in the eye/taser gun/knife/chain gun/bio riffle/... you get the point. That is the only reason I don't like FF and that is why I find it to be overrated.

Halo... I have never played it but I honestly don't see how it could be better than UT. With UT at least there is a huge community that generates additional content and that keeps the game fresh, and it runs on the PC!!!

Kleptic - 766 days 9 hours ago

while there was no doubt in any of our minds that you would use this oppurtunity to throw in yet another dig at Lair...this list had nothing to do with a game delivering on hype...just as 19.1 pointed out...

Halo is sort of a mixed bag imo...I think that it has a suprisingly big following for what it is...its frustrating to hear 12 year olds drone on about Halo as the best game of all time, simply because its one of the only games they have every really gotten into...which is my point overall...

this guy blends "overrated" with how people still feel about the game...a very large portion of this generation of gamer's first RPG was FFVII...it sure was mine...and because it was the first, I know personally it will never be out done imo...simply because I will never be 12 years old playing it again, and being able to throw 50 hours a week at a game again...it was the game, and its timing for me personally that made it so great...if FFVII came out right now with current generation graphics, but exact same everything else...it wouldn't have a quarter of the impact on me that it did...people that had been playing JRPG's earlier than that will usually point to chrono trigger or earlier FF games as better...but earlier games wouldn't have the same effect on me...

Exact same thing with people and Halo...a very large portion of Halo fans admit that it was their very first fps experience (which isn't necessarily bad...its a great fps)...and treat it as the greatest and "king", because it is the game/franchise that got them into that genre...the people that played PC shooters since Doom know for a fact that its not the greatest fps ever, but more a very good fps that pioneered fps control (two analog sticks anyway) on a console...as well as console multiplayer abilities, and the first effective fps at slowing down the gameplay...this is a very large reason for the Halo franchise having a large amount of younger gamers (anyone disagreeing with me can spend just 5 minutes in any public game to hear how many have yet to hit puberty) than some other long running franchises (such as half Life or MGS)...

now with all that said I don't really think Halo overall is overrated...but I think Halo 3 was seriously overhyped...it is a good game, but not even the best game of this year imo...it sold well yes, and got great reviews...but it seems like CoD 4 is another great game that resulted in Halo 3 being quickly forgotten...Halo 2 had nothing like that...halo 2 was being played non stop by millions for years to come...it was definitely a case of halo 2 not having any competition on consoles at the time (killzone?...uh...no)...but I don't think the franchise has the towering superiority it used to have anymore...

as far as Goldeneye...that is still one of my favorite games of all time...I liked it more than Perfect Dark because PD didn't recreate a movie...at the time no game looked better than Goldeneye for the most part, and it was the first time a movie was believably told through a video game...add on top of that a legendary multiplayer system (albeit local only) and a cheat system that fully replaced "cheat codes" effectively...and its a game that will never be forgotten by a lot of us

halo didn't set standards. the controller lay out for fps on consoles has pretty much been the same for a decade, halo has no innovation in physics(w/ the exception of halo3 but its only on par w/ todays standards), and the weapons in halo have always been pretty standard fps weapons. energy rifle, pistol, sniper rile, shotgun, rocket launcher, grenades, etc. it's all pretty run of the mill.

The only thing innovative about halo was the health system. Its a great relief not to have to look around for healthpacks half the time. Other than that it was pretty standard, the first fps with great physics were probably far cry and half life 2. The weapons in halo are standard. Its just a very simple fps game overall that appeals to a wide audience for that reason.

Back when it was originally released, it was something to behold. That's why many PC gamers hold it in extreme high regard even today.

His reasoning is very wrong in some places, but I don't think its wrong to say you like it and call it overrated.

Bad reasoning? Yes.

Bad to say you like it and its overrated? No.
