Professional reviewers loved FF12 to death. Panthera also loves the game which means it's overrated because not one single person should like FF12.

Didn't see this post before my FF12 quip, sorry. RE5 really seemed to come and go, though - I've heard very little positivity about it. Just indifference and/or hatred (mostly the former).

Ocarina of Time is very fairly rated because the game is godly. FF7 has been hated on for being "overrated" for so long that the game is now underrated.

Ocarina of Time, godly? It certainly did not feel that way to me last time I played it.

For me the Zelda series has not really proven itself to me beyond A Link to the Past and The Wind Waker. Ocarina of Time has not aged all that well, Majora's Mask's fun factor gets lost a little in the time system, and Twilight Princess was almost there for me but it did not feel phenomenal enough. And I swear, the Zelda fanbase is the worst in existence (either Zelda drones, or even worse - the people who say that everything in the series after MM sucks, which is false, false, false to no end).

I agree that SM64 is a little overrated here. That having been said, though, it's nowhere near as overrated as Super Mario Galaxy is.
Mario Galaxy isn't even the 2nd most overrated Mario game!

Yoshi's Island gets a ton of love, especially nowadays.

Man, I was literally about to post, "I bet Ulti thinks one person liking FFXII means the game is overrated."

You've become so predictable since you became an everything-snob.


a everything snob. It loses its meaning with proper grammar.

Also, I like Final Fantasy XII as well. It's now extremely overrated by Ulti's standards. :D

I agree that A Link to the Past is overrated - I appreciate it more now than I used to, but I still think it's a 7/10 at best. I've definitely enjoyed the other 2-D Zeldas I've played, though.

Link's Awakening - 10/10
The Legend of Zelda - 9.3/10
The Minish Cap - 8.8/10 (definitely a Boscopinion, though >_>)
Zelda II - 7.8/10

Uh oh, too many people agreeing with me, maybe I should backtrack on saying LttP!

But really, I don't dislike it (I actually think it's a good game) but it's grown to be a source of annoyance to me to always see people hating the hell out of 3D Zeldas and then lauding LttP as the greatest game ever made.

But it's a different story with LA, it's one of my favorite in the series.

I haven't played enough Pokemon to really judge because I didn't care enough to continue after I beat Blue. I keep playing Zelda games, thinking I'm eventually going to "get it," and I never do. I've never really had the urge to pick up another Pokemon game to see if I "get it" because I already know it's not really for me.

But there is Pokemon Snap out there to redeem it a tad!

Also, Hating FF12 is like a mandated thing for being a B8er.

...Tempted to say CoD4/MW2, at least given the amount of impact they seem to have had on the whole. However, I'm not sure how well they'll be thought of after a decent amount of time has passed. I'd say FFVII and, to a slightly lesser extent, OoT are up there too, though I do like them both.

On this board, I'd say FFIX, but that's almost certainly a very unpopular opinion.

For my money, YI is absolutely the best game in the series, and perhaps one of the greatest games ever made.

But we've been over this a million times before. :P

Portal 2 would be a fantastic choice. I think Portal 1 deserves all its acclaim, though.

Mine too. And I'm not sure what could possibly dethrone it. Let's list some possibilities:

Super Smash Bros. - Melee is the only game in the series that I consider myself to be a "big fan" of, but this series has a 100% success rate in creating awesome games as far as I am concerned.

Call of Duty - Huh? Most critics and gamers do not really care for anything in this series aside from Call of Duty 4. Does not sound like "most overrated series" material to me.

Grand Theft Auto - This series has been fading and now seems more like something people could have nostalgic memories for. Again, does not sound like "most overrated series" material.

Halo - Jackpot! But then again, is any game in this franchise aside from Halo 1 and Halo 3 really held in high regard? Oh wait, Reach. I can see this being another "Zelda-like" franchise for me where what everyone considers to be the best in the series becomes something I find overrated.

it's not just portal as much as the whole genre that suffers a lot of it. i feel a lot of puzzle games are overrated; like sure they have their charm, there's this 'ohhh that's what i need to do!' or 'that's what it was!' kind of feel, or other times it's just frustrating, but at the end of the day it's become this extremely oversaturated market for indie developers to work on, some with cool ideas mind you, but so many just make you go 'if i wanted to play a puzzle game i'd play X, Y, or Z."

Oh, I know FFIX is overshadowed by most of the other FFs in its vicinity (If only because 7, Tactics, 8, 9, 10 is a pretty brutal run, moreso if you tack 6 onto the end there), I'm just saying personally I don't really "get" the high amount of love for it here. But then, that battle system is just way too slow for my liking. If you could turn the ATB up to around 4x max speed, I think my opinion of FFIX would increase a fair amount. Still likely to be my least favorite mainline FF (Well, out of 4, 6-10, and 13) but it'd be closer I think.

I was simply stating that I do not think I would find any of these series to be as overrated, except for maybe Halo.

But seriously, why are so many people saying that "Call of Duty is so overrated"? Who the heck actually holds that whole series in such high regard?

I actually gotta agree on wondering why people are naming GTA and CoD. Popularity =/= Overrated. Especially CoD. The only CoD game to be seen as "great," for instance, is 4. The rest of the series is average to good, and that's what most people agree on.
