Duraji's Most Overrated Games

Oh, God, how I hate overrated games. I hate waiting for months and then coming home to a piece of crap that I was told would be the second coming of Christ.

I blame the fact that games are getting more and more linear, as you'll see in my glasses-free overview of the most overrated games made for the current game systems, plus a bonus or two if you behave yourselves!

Yes, I'm aware that Half-Life 2 and related games are extremely linear, but the game still manages to feel different every time I play it, and it's so immersive and fun that I don't even really care that it's basically getting from one side of the map to the other, unlike the other games I mentioned on this list.

FFX along with 7 is the most overrated games in history. Halo reach should be added on the list.

@SgtThom I'll be doing a new version of this list very very soon.

lol u made a big deal about everythin linear is over rated and yet u like half life 2?? wtf?? i mean i don't blame u it's one of the greatest shooters ever made but it's also ridiculously linear....

[Lurdanjo]

@DaRkLoRd1061 I agree, but Half-Life 2 is probably the big exception to my rule just because it has such perfect atmosphere and never feels the same no matter how many times I play it. Now to wait for Episode 3 some more...

The second you brought up gay half life I all ready figured you out gezz oh and by the way kingdom hearts is not over rated it's awosme plus soras voice gets better in 2

[Lurdanjo]

@Ts1fangjoker We can agree to disagree, but because you started name calling, I don't have to respect a single thing you said. Kingdom Hearts (more like Farts, amirite?) was a good idea ruined by Square's ridiculously stupid over convoluted stories and stupid stupid character designs. Sora's voice was fine, as I like Hailey Joel Osment, but that's the least of my concerns.

[ShockedShocktrooper]

I agree That IV isn't the best game, not the best GTA either. But it definetely deserves a 9/10.

[Ts1fangjoker]

@smartlamppost true that

[smartlamppost]

@Ts1fangjoker While I like Half Life 2 I have to admit that it is almost disgustingly overrated. The problem is that since it's not considered a "commercial" game people think they're edgy for playing it and tend to think of it as a cult hit or an underrated classic when in reality it's actually grabbing attention away from REAL underrated classics like the oddworld games, or psychonauts, or ICO. Also, people need to move on from Episode 3. When it does come out it's gonna be a disappointment

[demondog45]

@Lurdanjo Episode three? Pfft. Name one series Valve has made that's gone past two. Exactly.

[DaRkLoRd1061]

@Lurdanjo yup, but i have a feeling we'll be seeing half life 3 eith next year on 2013, (episode 3 is dead) and i actually can't wait for it cuz u know it's just gonna blow every other shooter out of the water, and hopefully change fps's for the better, by hopefully moving them away from the now stale modern millitary shooters....
