Topic: Most Overated game(s) In Your Opinion

[Kale]

Haha... It was just my opinion.

For me Ramza (Tactic's hero) and Squall are roughly equal as character. Which, both (and their games) are on top of the list for me, FF wise.

If you like Strategy games at all, you should try Tactics. It's amazing. Cheat, if you have to. Story falls off at the end though, like FFVIII. But it's still good imo, just could've been better.

then ff x, also has a very interesting story and i like the battle system that it's using.

Now, if someone were to successfully combine FFX's CTB and MegaTen's Press Turn system...

I tried Tactics Advance a few times, but I just don't dig Tactical RPGs. Although Song Summoner: The Unsung Heroes is pretty good.

Admittedly, TA's Law system was a tad annoying. While they did fix it in A2, along with some other things, I felt that it still suffered from ease of breaking. Parivir + Geomancy, anyone?

I couldn't get into FFTA either. But I've beaten FFT (the original psx and the psp remake) several times already. I have yet to try FFTA2 though.

So I hope you don't judge your experience on FFTA, alone. But then again. if you don't like tactic/strategy, then that's a different thing altogether.

I'm not sure which games are overrated, because I tend not to play stuff I think is overrated. I know this is absolutely stupid circular logic and ends up proving nothing either way for me, so DERP

[KaZudra]

World of Warcraft + Star Wars MMOs

They are all average MMOs, the franchise isn't gonna make them any better, I suggest downloading superior titles that just so happen to be F2P also.

[Kale]

Recommendations? I only play UO (though it's been a long time) free servers, dragon's nest and Vindictus, ... and APB extremely rarely.


And I havne't really touched any of those ina good while. Cept Vindictus to use my maxed out AP points.

[Aridale]

Im in the Tera betas and its pretty good. I already preordered it

[Kale]

Combat style... while probably not exactly the same by any means, does remind me of some games... like dragon nest and such. I don't play too many NCSoft games... but apparently the guy who worked at NCSoft deals in TERA and lawsuits are flying. According to Wiki....

(click to show/hide)

In 2007, NCsoft filed a complaint to South Korean authorities and brought a civil action for damages and an injunction to Bluehole. The Bluehole founders and employees, formerly employed under NCsoft and working on the Lineage 3 development team, were convicted by a Korean criminal court for the theft of valuable trade secrets from NCsoft in 2009. In 2010, a Korean civil court held these individuals, along with Bluehole, liable for misappropriation of trade secrets, awarding NCsoft about $2 million in damages and issuing an injunction against utilizing trade secrets for monetary gain. The damages were later reversed by an appellate court, but the injunction remained in place. Both the criminal convictions and civil judgment are presently pending on appeal before Korea's highest court. Despite the injunction, Bluehole developed and released TERA in South Korea.
On January 9, 2012, NCsoft filed a civil action in the United States against Bluehole and its U.S. subsidary En Masse. NCsoft seeks a preliminary and permanent injunction prohibiting the launch of TERA in the United States, or damages for the substantial harm that the launch will cause NCsoft. They assert claims for copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, breach of confidence, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment under the laws of the state of New York.
The criminal case in South Korea and the civil action in the United States are pending.[17]

I hope it goes through... does look pretty cool.

Edit: the game, not the lawsuit.

[crisis]

Oh yes it is. I don't know about GoW3, as that's the one that I haven't played. Though I hear the story is absolute shit.

well you heard wrong cuz it's good. story closes out the trilogy leaving no plot holes like most other series, Kratos gets his vengeance, which is what the series is about.

The first's story was damn boring, the second, I don't know I only got up to the first boss or so. Third, I hear is shit like I said before,... and from GoW fans, no less.

heard wrong again.. story is about repentance, which Kratos ultimately fulfills.

And if the sex game is what draws you... you should be smacked. There are better alternatives for porn.

no but it's just there for fun & lasts for like 2 minutes, maybe less.


Bottom line: these games kicks ass, and I have still yet to see any legitimate reason for anyone to hate on it other than "i don't like it, just because"

I don't see how I can "hear wrong" about an opinionated subject =/

I have already given my statements for not liking it. I don't like the combat. And I hate QTE (I know I've mentioned this numerous time on these board) and the games are riddled with it.

Also, sex game >.> fun? really? It's just a Simon Says game. While those can be fun every now and then, I just dont' see it.

[crisis]

Some opinions can be wrong and/or misguided, though. Fact is, God of War is the Audi of action games in this era; every element of the game is honed to near-perfection. QTE's are annoying, yes, but when the game's that good it doesn't really detract from the fun factor. And you don't even have to participate in the sex minigames, you can easily skip all of them & keep moving to the next part, so..
 

I'm only getting at you cuz I said if anyone dare mentions GoW as overrated or in your words "shit," I would strongly defend it, and will continue to do so  The games may not necessarily be your cup of tea, fine. But they definately aren't overrated, in any fashion.

[Opium]

Yeah God of War series is definitely in my top 10 of all time.

I have to disagree there. It is easily overrated. And I only mentioned it because you reminded me of it. I try not to think of things i think are crap. It is definitely overrated. If GoW is the Audi of action games in this era, then either Audi's suck this era or action game sucked this era. Seeing as DMC and NG games are still good and of this era. I guess Audi's just suck this era.

Combat is pretty boring. Can be fun for a little bit, but is repetitive, quickly. That is my main problem with it. I won't lie, GoW2 seemed better than the first, though I haven't played it much. It's still very sub par in comparison to DMC and NG.

As for "misguided" opinions... I find that laughable. The guy I talked to, did play it, and all 3 in fact. He actually liked the first 2, although I can't understand why, and did not like 3 too much. It just seems like you are taking what you want out of it and disregarding the rest. That doesn't seem right, espeically when it's pretty much the same subject.
