Is FF7 even overrated anymore? It's become the cool thing for everyone to name FF7 whenever this thread comes up even tho half the people naming it probably don't even remember what the game was like.

Mass Effect
Halo
Seriously after Combat Evolved Halo was just another Cash-Cow to be milked.

Assasins Creed. Am I only one that finds them repetitive and dull?
This article isn't quite named correctly. Diablo 3 is a good example, however Madden or Call of Duty (post CoD4) aren't really overrated. Because no one really says they are great. Again, Guitar Hero and all the other sports games don't count! They have to be rated HIGH in order for it to be overrated. Most of the games people are posting get average reviews at best. It is not just whatever game you hate, it is what game is overrated.
The game that is easily the MOST overrated game of all time is Final Fantasy 7. Don't get me wrong, I like the game and think it is great. However, the way some people talk about it, and build it up is quite excessive.
Most things made by Nintendo and any game made prior to 2000. I mean I absolutely love Goldeneye 007 and played it every day, but to be honest even I overrate that game. Just like the Zelda's, Chrono Trigger, older FF games, etc. As they age people just keep up with the "you had to be there" and "games used to be so good" talk.
No, I do too, especially the first one. I just went on ahead on bought them, hoping I'd get to them eventually, but I never do lol
I recently got done with the Mass Effect series and it was pretty legit, 2nd one being by far better than the other two IMHO.
Another game that was really overrated was the Dragon Age series. They keep comparing it to a 'Modern day Baldur's Gate' and it's not in anyway, shape or form, and I honestly just think the whole series was terrible. The story was boring, the characters were really dull, and the fights were so terribly designed. I remember being really excited for the game when I was first reading/hearing about it. Even got it when it came out. Played it, beat it, never touched it again. Nothing memorable about it either.
Most definitely Skyrim. The game truly didn't bring anything new to the table, but people acted (and still continue to act) like they've never seen anything like it before. It also bothers me a lot that when any open world game comes out, it automatically gets compared to Skyrim as if Skyrim invented the concept of having an open world. I'm not saying it's a bad game. I had a fair amount of fun with it when I did play it (I played about 60 hours of it to get my money's worth, but by then I was quite bored). People just act like it was revolutionary when it wasn't.
Also Assassin's Creed. Assassin's Creed is the Call of Duty of action-adventure. I enjoyed Assassin's Creed 2, but they really just regurgitate the same game with a different skin every year and slap a new title on it.
How much longer is it going to take people to realize how overrated Resident Evil is? It's now stupid!!
Exactly. People fail to understand that Developers know to make games evolve with an evolving/growing audience. Not only is there a larger/new audience for Elder Scrolls games, the old audience is a decade older. Despite all the nostalgia, most of the "old school Morrowind players" wouldn't be able to put up with that same stuff in a new game.

Final Fantasy 6 is by far, the most over-rated Final Fantasy game, with #7 coming in at 2nd. FF7 was fun, but the overzealousness of its fans just makes me go WTF, same with those for FF6.
All Zelda games. Yes, all of them. I don't see the appeal of the series, and I had been completely disappointed in each that I attempted to play (thanks to my sister, who for some reason enjoys them).
Every single FPS game, especially in their online multiplayer portions. Everyone is a twitchy crackhead hopped up on cocaine.
And World of Warcraft, Starcraft 1&2, and Assassin's Creed, and God of War series.
FFVII
Chrono Trigger
Those are the only two that i consider to be REALLY overrated. FFVII sucked terribly in my opinion, and that comes from a person who plays the games for their storyline more than anything else, and Chrono Trigger felt like a cheap ripoff of Breath of Fire 2.
No trolling, no flaming, an honest opinion of mine.
We dream, we dream.
Assasins creed
One of the worst games i ever played, honestly felt angry about spending 60 euros on it.
Minecraft
Overrated piece of boredom.
Guildwars 2
Overrated piece of boredom.
Pong, I don't get it that game is super boring. Must be a generation thing.
There's a fine line between Over rated and Over hyped, think they're getting a bit confused in this thread
Over rated for me is Minecraft - sure its good, not really AMAZING.
Over hyped for me is Guild Wars 2 - Really good game (I played it) but it didnt meet expectations to beat (many peoples) expectation to best Cataclysm
