Posted by Xeogred Wha? When is Metroid undertated? Anyway... Overrated - Final Fantasy VII: I still don't get how people think it's the best game ever. - Halo: See above. - GTA games: Me - "How is this a game?" My friend - "Idono..." From the first and last time I played it. - World of Warcraft: Underratted - EarthBound: Other then the dedicated fanbase, nobody really cares (Or cared) about this game. It's really good too... - Yoshi Story: I liked it alot, and it isn't that bad. *Hides* - Majora's Mask: I think I like this better then OoT. - Megaman Legends / 64: One of my favorite Megaman games. ...I'll think of more later. |

Posted by SonicandfailsWhile I'm inclined to disagree, I'm gonna set that point aside in favor of a more relevant one: an overrated game isn't always a bad game. It's just not as good as a shitload of people seem to think. Seems to be a common mistake. |

Posted by Xeogred Shit, I forgot all about this. It was doomed to popular failure from the start simply by merit of being the sequel to Chrono Trigger, but it's still a fucking excellent game. I don't know if I buy that it's better than Trigger, but still excellent. Posted by Xeogred I actually feel the original is overrated and SD3 is underrated. Go figure? Posted by Xeogred I'm gonna agree with this in the same way that I agreed with OoT, in that it's a solid 8 or 9 but definitely not the best game ever. Posted by Xeogred I forgot all about this shit... Even the fighting games are shitty. I'll take Street Fighter or Soul Calibur any day of the week. Posted by Xeogred I'd rate this as good, just not as good as Starcraft. Still underrated, though. Posted by theclaw I'm actually gonna defend this one: When you're playing with a bunch of newbies it isn't that fun, but at a high level of play it becomes seriously challenging and strategically interesting. I still think Natural Selection is the best HL mod, though. |

Posted by Rich QFT You indeed speak the truth. Majora's Mask was the better of the N64 Zeldas. Overated games? Sonic and the Secret Rings. May have helped to save the character, but it still wasn't that good :/ ____________________ D: Can't think of anything original.... |

Also how am I the only one who has mentioned
FUCKING FALLOUT One of the most interesting RPGs in existence, and yet so few people even know what the damn game is. If you like any modern RPG, especially one set in a futuristic setting rather than a fantasy world, I think you owe yourself a chance with it. |

I still felt like my post was incomplete, my memory of games' receptions sucks. Anyway, Zelda 2 was highly underrated. People just hated it because it was different, it's one of my favorite zelda games, the gameplay was very nice(The Shadow Link fight was awesome), it was a good game all around, and yet people didn't like it.
Megaman Legends- How the hell did I forget this? I just beat the sequel recently! Very nice set of MM games, once again, shunned for difference. The gameplay was rather unique for the time, it's sort of a primitive action-RPG. The action was good, and there was a great amount of customizability(That's not a word, is it?) The story was wonderful, especially compared to the traditional "Oh noes, Dr. Wily/Sigma is attacking, we must stop him!" story that the other games follow. No bashing on them though, they're fun, and the X series has some nice backstory. Oh hey, that just reminded me. MMX6. Why does everyone hate MMX6? It had very good gameplay, the most frequent bashing I see is the nightmare system. That requires very little thought to work around, just experiment a bit and you can get the desired outcome. It was definately hard, but it has an easy setting for a reason. It was also nice after the recent easy games to have a challenge. It was fun, and it provided more of a challenge for one who had found the recent games too easy. I enjoyed it. I didn't find Yoshi's Story that bad, but that's the game that screwed with Yoshi's voice, so I hate it for that. It was a pretty fun game though. As for Daggerfall: I have not played it. I want to, it looks great, but I haven't. I hear people praise it often, and would like to try it out. And Majora's Mask,? Defintely underrated, although I found Mask collecting kind of annoying, it was fun, and the transformation aspect is great. Deku Link > ALL. ____________________ There are things I want to put here.

I know that at least I am a bit jaded as far as MMX6 because of Metal Shark Player's level. You know, the one spot where you need one of about 3 specific chips to progress? And then it saves there so you can't backtrack? Yeah. I know I love knowing I have to go and purposefully waste all my lives to progress. Uh huh.
(That, and Up + Attack should NOT have you fling yourself straight down, completely ignoring the rail you need to hold on to. I'm looking at you, Zero.) Basically, I see it as having loads of potential (seriously, it had plenty of awesome ideas) wasted by sub-par, irritating gameplay. And the translation sucked too. wite: Fallout is interesting. From my experience, either you've never heard of it or you love it to death. Not quite sure how that would map to people's appreciation, though... |

This is my list and I don't expect everyone (or anyone) to agree with it.
Overrated Most FF games- What really ticks me off is when some of my friends go on about how they're so great and how they think I have bad taste in games just because I don't play them. The Legend of Zelda OFT and TP- Ocarina of Time was a good game but when Nintendo Power rated it the number one game of all time I couldn't help but disagree. I also found that after the amount of time we had to wait for Twilight Princess that it didn't turn out to be as great as some people say. Underrated Startropics 1 & 2- Less than half the people in the world even know that these two games exist. MegaMan Legends 1 & 2 Probably a few others I've forgotten about |

Gah, I forgot about that(referring to Zero's Up-Attack). Actually, though, I tend to ignore that stupid thing(When reviewing the game). Why? It was a stupid-ass mistake. Some nut at Capcom fucked up when they did the coding, and switched the button combinations for that and Zero's spinning move. I'm not joking, thats what they did. It says that you use down and attack to use that skill, but it's up and attack. And it says for the spin that it's up and attack, when it's really down and attack. That stupid mistake annoys the hell out of me, but you can't really count it against the game, as that's not what it was supposed to be. More games:
-Crystalis, underrated as hell. The GBC port sucked comparatively speaking, but the original was great. I think it might've been the first Action RPG, it had a pretty good story for the time it was released, but no one knows it existed. -Star Tropics, ngggh. I can't believe I forgot that, it was one of my favorite games when I owned an NES. The second is inferior to the first, but both are definately awesome. ____________________ There are things I want to put here.

Yea I am going to have to backup Counter-Strike also.
I've have been playing for 5 years, and trust me, if you play in a league or at least don't play with noobs, it is very very fun to play. And waiting between spawns? Don't play in a server that A) has too many people in it B) has a high round timer C) isn't deathmatch and uh, you could just not suck and stop dieing! Any of those will fix that problem. And it's actually possible to prevent one bullet headshots. Buy Kevlar+Helm. ____________________ I miss post headers more. |

Games underrated:
Mischief Makers: A 2D game, in a 3D world of N64. Full of wit and funny treasure humor, it kicked ass. Windwaker: Loved it, only disliked that it was too short.  ____________________  |

Posted by witeasprinwowPosted by Jordan Mega Gamer I didn't mean it like that. I mean, I still like Oblivion more than Quest 64 - by quite a bit, I might add - but I still think Q64 was somewhat underrated and Oblivion is not as good as the public was hoping for. I primarily blame many months worth of hype for that. Now, while I have tried Ultima 7, I didn't play it for very long. That wasn't something against the game itself, but I don't particularly care for RPGs with party systems. I prefer to go solo. I'll probably give it another try at some point. I rented Suidoken 3 once. Or at least, I think it was 3. Anyway I found the game very intriguing. There was something about building up a castle, IIRC. Shame I didn't get too far before having to return it. What I'm really hoping for - and what seems to be a common want - are more truly innovative games. I consider games such as The Sims (well, at one point at least), N, and Dark Cloud 2 to be pretty innovative, but for each one of those there's 20 generic shooters or platformers.  ____________________ What sig?

Another underrated game is Oxyd.
However, Oxyd has been revived by some fans as an open source game called Enigma.  ____________________  |

Posted by Jordan Mega Gamer Just FYI, the game is completely beatable solo. Harder in some ways, but still definitely beatable. |

I know what you mean about SA2: Battle, I just didn't consider it underrated, I didn't think that many people hated it, just the nuts who ramble about how everything past 3&Knuckles sucked. Although I do think that Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the Sonic game, the adventure games were good. ____________________ There are things I want to put here.

Posted by Black LordPosted by Katelyn It also means that any game from japan is overrated. Because "anime" is the general cultural art style there. Not all japanese games are overrated. |

!? No, this is a Gameboy Advance game. With a play style that's been related to Smash Bros, pretty good art, and an RPG system, I found myself really enjoying this. The real star of this game is a robot named Emerl, who learns moves from his opponents in battle, and in a weird skill point system, can adapt their moves as his own. The story is terrible, and the game can be unfairly difficult at times, forcing some cheap AI abusive tactics, but I'd love to try this out with a friend.
