Re: Most Overated and Underated Games

No joke? I was sure Radical Dreams was Famicom only. Well, I guess some things are similar to Trigger. I always thought it was more like Radical Dreamers, but I guess they stuck some Trigger in there to sell? lmao. Awesome you know about it though.

overrated: Grand Turismo

note to ps3 commercial producers: gran "slam on brakes and turn at less than 20 mph" turismo does not inspire me to shell out 500 bucks for your video game console

that's all I really wanted to say but uhhh virtua fighter games seem to have gotten less hype than other fighting games even though they're deep and accessible? I dunno I'm not into these obscure rpg shenanigans and whatnot

Re: Most Overated and Underated Games

Underrated Gears of War? I don't think so. That got so much hype, and I didn't even like the game that much. It wasn't as fun as everyone made it out to be.

Re: Most Overated and Underated Games

Overrated = Rockband/guitar hero.
Underrated = Gitaroo man and Rez.

Re: Most Overated and Underated Games

Usually an underrated game is one where few people have played it. Big titles that are not "overhyped" have been "hyped" enough, not under.

Eh? Did I read this wrong?


Anyways,
Overrated=Halo (sorry peoples, it's my opinion you're gonna have to deal)

Underrated=Digital Devil Saga

Almost all of the Atlus games are underrated, but really I personally think Digital Devil Saga was better then all of the final fantasies, again it's my opinion.

P.S: I mean both Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2, I usually just think of them as one big long game.

Re: Most Overated and Underated Games

Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Ages for the GBA were a lot of fun for me. At the time, they had pretty good graphics for the GBA, and the fighting system was a lot of fun. The use of Djinni made it all the more better. And the storyline was amazing, what with alchemy, and lighthouses for each of the elements.

Re: Most Overated and Underated Games

Overrated = Pretty much what everyone has already said.

Underrated = Toejam & Earl, Skies of Arcadia

Well, maybe Skies of Arcadia. I'm not sure if it's completely underrated though.

This post is made of win because of this.

Digital Devil Saga had one of the best stories of any RPG series I know. It was probably the only game I know that actually made me cry. ;_;

So for overrated I would have to say the Halo series. Sure, online is pretty fun every once in awhile. But it wasn't the epic that I was told it was going to be.

Ha! Another person who played it besides me, My life is fulfilled. I almost cried too on the second game, and I don't think I've ever had any other game get me that close to crying (take that Aeris lovers! :P)

Also, I totally went completely out of my way and spent nearly $100 just to get the soundtrack

Are you trying to say that this game was overrate or underrated? In any case, it isn't either, it had the right amount of hype. Most everyone who plays GBA games have heard or played the game so I wouldn't say it's underrated.

Oh, I honestly hadn't heard of the game until last year. I guess I'm slow on things, I was thinking it was underrated.
