Overrated

[MunKy]

Am I the only one that think Halo is really overrated. Ive played it alot with friends and it seems average to me. Its nothing new and it has been done better before. The only exclusive game for xbox worth getting in my opinion is Fable. Until Lionhead Studios release something exclusive for it again I dont think I'll add to my xbox collection.

[Hero-of-Time]

Halo online is an amazing experience . Its great to know that you can just put it on for a quick blast just to get rid of that urge to kill....or is that just me. As for games that are overrated I think Fable is extremely overrated. Lionhead promised something special and didnt deliver. It was supposed to be a free experince just doing what you want but you really couldnt as the story still had a set path. It was a decent game but nowhere near as good as people made it out to be.

[JonSt]

I completely agree with you, i played halo 2 for the first time the other day and i really couldnt see what the fuss was about.

[CVD]

Halo 2 brought in more in its opening weekend than any movie, dvd, cd or any other form of entertainment could. It's literally sold the Xbox for Microsoft, the only people 'hyping' it so much are the gamers like me and you. Personally, I think it's amazing and it took me into a genre that I was mnever previously interested in.

[Jordan]

I have a few problems with Halo 2.
The single player sucks hard bar two levels. Earth and Delta Halo.
They cut alot from the game to get it out.
The maps are boring an unenspiring
It's too easy to hack (or was)
Too many idiots on voice chat
I hate using a joypad for FPS
It is incredibly unbalanced, no matter what anyone says. You guys go play the original UT or UT2004. That is so balanced, and it works.

[Stocka]

I've always preferred the online play of CSS.

[Tyson]

If it ever gets released on the Pc it will be good. I have it on Xbox, but FPS' are much better with WASD and mouse.

[harribo]

On xbox live halo 2 is quite fun but other than that the halo games or average at best.

[Calza]

Does anybody else prefer Timesplitters or am i the only one?
It just to me has a bigger empashis on FUN but maybe i need to try Halo online.
I hope Perfect Dark turns out to be good as i've heard a few dodgy playtests.

[The3rdChildren]

I love Halo 2, yet I hate all of you.

Funny, huh?

[JonSt]

I love Halo 2, yet I hate all of you.

Funny, huh?

Not particularly.

[The3rdChildren]

Not particularly.

STOP BEING GAY.

I'm only being annoying so this stupid thread gets locked.

[Meik]

Usually when somebody mentions Halo 2 it gets locked by a mod and the creator is told to take it to the Halo 2 thread.

Though I suppose it's alright if it allows Jordan a chance to take a pot-shot at it.

Great modding, guys!

[JonSt]

STOP BEING GAY.

I'm only being annoying so this stupid thread gets locked.

I dont think your being annyoing, I just didnt find that particular joke funny.

[The3rdChildren]

I think you are amazing, third children. I wish I was a woman so I could go out with you.

Thanks man. :aww:

[Blackfox]

Halo 2 online is awesome.

Jordan is gay.

[JonSt]

Thanks man. :aww:

No probelm, you know I love you.

And foxy i agree, him and steve are being totally gay just now.

[The3rdChildren]

Man, I have newfound respect for you for hating on Ray Falling. Sorry for being a cock.

[JonSt]

Man, I have newfound respect for you for hating on Ray Falling. Sorry for being a cock.

no worries T_T

see what I did there?

[Jordan]

Stop the constant flaming you two. Or i'll lock this thread.
And James shut the fuck up :P

[Bren]

halo 2 is made for group play,

doing the story co-op is ace, if u have a rotation on the go

and the 4 player is just proper gud fun, or even better 8 player,

[Bowser.Vs.FWNT]

I dunno if its because i play alot of PC FPS and play CS/CS:S alot(well no to much anymore) but halo 2 never really grabed me played the Multiplayer afew times but don't know what all the fuss is about. The only conclusion i came to is that if you only play console FPS, then halo 2 is like godly but to me its really overated.

[Apple_NdiB]

Does anybody else prefer Timesplitters or am i the only one?
It just to me has a bigger empashis on FUN but maybe i need to try Halo online.
I hope Perfect Dark turns out to be good as i've heard a few dodgy playtests.

I prefer Timesplitters as far as console FPS' go, and on the PC UT2004 and Q3A are also a step ahead of Halo 2. I also agree with Jordan so far as I believe Halo multiplayer is unbalanced, but it is fun, the team deathmatch is undoubtedly way, way above average, I just don't think it was made with meat and two veg deathmatch in mind.

[Sexual Chocolate]

Halo 1 and 2 Single player is teh suck, Halo2 multiplayer is the chixor.

Meh, was never too impressed by Halo. Unreal Tournament was the real sugar daddy. Great maps, modes, weapons and a nice balanced feel as some said.
Also the UT maps were really good. The ole two towers level is forever a classic in my books.

[Wolf]

I enjoyed Halo, but I thought Halo 2 was overrated. I haven't got Xbox Live, I was more interested in playing through the single player campain. I did it along with a friend, and it start to grow on us... until the craptacular ending hit us like a slap in the face.

That game ended just before the main showdown. We were depressed for days.

[MunKy]

I also prefer TimeSplitters, it is more fun and I played it on a PS2 for christs sake! Also I think I am the only one who doesnt lke WASD. I dont know why I dont it just never warmed to me. Back to Fable, Who has Lost Chapters for PC?

[Bowser57]

I have a few problems with Halo 2.
The single player sucks hard bar two levels. Earth and Delta Halo.

To an extent you're right, but I'd say about half the levels are good, and half average to annoying. Besides, to me, and I'd wager most players with Xbox Live or a bunch of friends that like playing it's all about the multiplayer. If there'd been no single player (which is far better in co-op) I'd still count it my fave game of the last few years.

They cut alot from the game to get it out.

What was cut?

The maps are boring an unenspiring

Zanzibar and Lockout are two of my fave maps from any FPS I've played. Granted, there is some filler in there, but there's only two or three maps I really dislike. Most can be put to very good use in objective games.

It's too easy to hack (or was)

At the moment it seems pretty much free of cheats. There were a couple of rough spots, but surely that's to be expected with any hugely popular game. Plus isn't that more the fault of the hackers than the game/game developers? It's to Bungie's credit that they've worked hard to iron it all out and still seem to give the game a lot of their attention.

Too many idiots on voice chat

There's a very easy to use mute system, very often you can spot a fool before the game has even started and mute their voice. If their idiocy only makes itself apparent mid-game I just wait until I'm killed (which granted, isn't very often) and then mute them.

I hate using a joypad for FPS

It's a console game. Personally I prefer it, but if I loved keyboard and mouse I'd simply invest in a keyboard and mouse adaptor for my Xbox.


It is incredibly unbalanced, no matter what anyone says. You guys go play the original UT or UT2004. That is so balanced, and it works.

I don't think that's a fair comment at all. There are certain situations where one weapon is going to be of more use than another. But surely that's true of any game. If not, what's the point of having different weapons? I've played UT2004 quite a bit and would say it's just the same.

I reckon it's a bit silly of folks to wonder if they're the "only one" to think a certain game is over-rated. Of course you're not. Of millions and millions of gamers out there, do you really think you're that special?

Halo 2 as a game has made Xbox Live, whatever problems people have with the game's intricacies there's surely no denying that.

I was modded tonight - a new type. As soon as I spawn they fired and the bullets magically went through the walls onto my head. First time that's happened in a couple of months.

[harribo]

Red Vs Blue is the best thing to come out of halo FACT.

[Calibur]

I loved halo for PC. I played my roomates Halo on X-Box alot before that and just couldnt get use to using the controller. I liked the mouse and keyboard so much better.
I had a blast playing online.

[Jordan]

The point is, who wants to play Halo on a joypad... when its so much better on a PC mouse and keyboard.

[Dan Dare]

keyboards lick the ass so hard i can hardly contain myself.


x box s pads are the daddy for fps games, and halo 2 is the daddy of console fps games. ill conceed hl2 as the daddy of fps games but really i was very impressed with halo 2. i really like the story mode myself- im very fond of the last two arbiter levels personally as you get to whup the living shit out of brutes for ages, and ages, and ages.

[Cubechris]

I like Halo 2, and the online experience is much fun, especially if your playing with the chaps from the pyramid of awesome. But hey I guess this thread is meant to be about ANY overrated game, otherwise it would have been locked and shown the way of Official Halo 2 goodness.

So my overrated game, has to be Burnout Revenge, i just plain hated it.

+1 Rep for the thread BTW.

[CVD]

The point is, who wants to play Halo on a joypad.


The millions of gamers who wanted to, and did so by purchasing the game for Xbox.

If you're desperate for the mouse/keyboard combo, go buy Halo PC (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8228369538&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1) , or fuck off.

[Blackfox]

WE HAVE AN OFFICIAL TOPIC FOR A REASON GUYS! FFS

[Choze]

The best fps is Battlefield 2. No competition. Makes every other fps look overrated.

[BeerMonkey]

over rated = mario kart double dash was VERY disappointed same goes for harvest moon-a wonderful life

[DiemetriX]

Halo2 is the best online multiplayer game i have played.

[ZeldaFreak]

First Halo was really overated when they added the tagline combat evolved there was nothing in that game that hadn't been done in other games better. Then Halo 2 what a pile of garbage (lets just say its similiar to Geist ;) ). So really in retrospect Halo + Halo 2 wern't just overated a little bit but as nearly infinity in overated terms nothing they could do could really make the Halo franchise a better game

I pity your opinions.

Halo was a great game - awesome levels and great gaming memories.
Halo 2 wasn't as good on the campaign, but made or for it on the Multiplayer. Bliss.

This thread is overrated.

[BeerMonkey]

Halo 2 is great in single player had good time playing that....legendary is bloody hard ill give it that so parts i found monsteously hard

[Schpickles]

I think what people always seem to skip over if Halo's co-operative gameplay (for 1 and 2). If you don't experience that, you're kind of missing most of the point really.

Halo 1's single player was just awe inspiring... the second best launch title of all time, and deserving of the 10/10 review in EDGE.

Halo 2 was a slight let down, but I think it's single player is still sound... it just lacks some content. The fact that the missus and I still play it regularly now is testament to its quality - basically we play all the non-flood levels, as we did with Halo 1 over and over in co-op. Turn the difficulty up to legendary, and then see the AI at work... it's impressive. A lot of Halo's (1+2) quality comes from repeated play - we're still experiencing new events and passages of play even now... it's quite staggering.

It's just a pity how much got axed from Halo2 to make street date... mainly live co-op for up to 16 people (hence the multiplayer screen when you start a co-op match). However, that fills me with excitement, because I know that this stuff will make it into Halo3.

Oh. And Halo2's multiplayer needs no introductions.

[Android18a]

I bought Halo, didn't like it. I bought Halo 2, didn't like it, but the hype and shiny metal box were too much to fight.

But yes, I really hate FPSes in general.

[demonmike04]

Played Halo round a friends house...Online is definitly the best online gaming experience i've had (Ninty fan here, we dnt see much of online incase nobody noticed).

[Caris]

Halo 1 and 2 Single player is teh suck, Halo2 multiplayer is the chixor.

HAlo 1 single player is awsome, how dare you say that!

[ZeldaFreak]

Not really. Halo2, unlike Gesit is considered a good game by millions of gamers. Millions.

Actually most gamers bought it because most gamers are ignorant they would rather play some half baked crap, than actually pick up true masterpieces of gaming genius such as Killer 7 to name but one.
I however blame it on the gaming journalists that put Halo 2 as 10/10, 100%,10.0. Anyways you get my drift that no game no matter how good it really is can get full marks.

Oh yeah and and btw InternalEternal its called Geist not Gesit like you have put

...O_o
Okay Killer7 is one of my fave games of this year but you're quite ignorant yourself and remember Killer7 isn't even on XBOX.

[Woosel]

In the "Halo is overrated" debate, which takes place on every big gaming board on the net, people always seem to bring up how the game's controls are somehow inherently flawed because you use an xbox controller instead of a mouse and keyboard, on which first person shooters were born and bred. There is a fundamental misconception that leads to this conclusion and I'm here to clear that up.

Just because it's easier to aim with a mouse and keyboard does not mean that playing with a joypad is intrisically inferior. Console and PC FPS' are not the same. While it may be easier to aim more quickly on a PC, the increased difficulty of aiming with two analog sticks is what creates a big part of the learning curve of a console FPS like Halo 2. Of course anyone using a mouse and keyboard would dominate (almost) anyone playing Halo 2 with an Xbox S pad, but when the playing field is level and everyone is using the dual sticks, the player with better aim is generally going to win. Of course other factors balance in, such as battle tactics, which with Halo 2's slower gameplay (compared to UT) are very important in determining the winner. Bottom Line: Just because you like mouse and keyboard better for FPS games doesnt mean that it factually is better.

As for my overall opinion on the overratedness of Halo2, the campaign is a bit lacking unless you play it on heroic/legendary with co-op. The game's Multiplayer and especially the online interface are shining examples that all future FPS games should learn from.

[Kurtle Squad]

Well anyway. You wound have to worry about FPS aiming soon. Revolution^_^ I REALLY hope they get some great FPSs on there. For one, to show how the controller can be used, and two, Halo IS very overrated (I haven't played it online though, which I'm sure is the dogs!) as it needs more depth to the gameplay. They are getting closer to tactics in FPSs such as Halo though, which is cool, especially compared to Timesplitters, which I'm not slagging off by the way, I love it!!

[Schpickles]

I cannot believe that someone just wrote that Halo needs more depth to the gameplay.... I don't even know how to respond to that.

I'm still seeing new things in Halo1, which I've played since March 2002... that's nigh-on 4 years old! Halo2 is no different.

[Jordan]

I dunno, i am a fan of Halo 2's online play. But i dunno the maps just feel "boxy". I dunno quite how to explain it... but it just feels like it. Anyone get me? Unless its just all games these days.

[CooInTheZoo]

Does anybody else prefer Timesplitters or am i the only one?

Hell yes! Single/Multiplayer anyway

[ZeldaFreak]

...O_o
Okay Killer7 is one of my fave games of this year but you're quite ignorant yourself and remember Killer7 isn't even on XBOX.


Firstly Halo is on Pc so i don't see the the reason why thats a problem if i say Killer 7 is a better game because its also been on PS2

I don't see how i'm ignorant when i cut the crap of marketing out of the equation and just looked at gameplay, and to be frank I found little in it too make it enjoyable for me :( :(:(

However i don't see why really Halo needed a sequel in the first place

[mario114]

I've always preferred the online play of CSS.


Nothing beats cs on-line, and when people arn't snipping (appart from the scout), then it's very well ballanced.

[Charlie]

Halo 2 is so good and popular online because of match making. You choose which type of game you want to play and it will put you into even teams unlike almost any other game where you choose which server you want to play on and then you choose which team so they are only as balanced as you want them.

[Solo]

Halo's not the only overrated game, to me, there's the GTA trilogy, they're good games but not 10/10 or 98%. Erm, what else... Half Life (I haven't really played the 2nd one much), Finaly Fantasy VII, can't think of any more right now.

[Kurtle Squad]

Yeah GTA's way over rated too

I cannot believe that someone just wrote that Halo needs more depth to the gameplay.... I don't even know how to respond to that.

i'm not saying it's got less depth than a lot of other FPSs, it definately hasn't, it's quite deep, but could be quite a bit better. I also many of the levels on Halo 2 very boring & repetative. Everywhere looked the same, and it was too dark.

[MunKy]

GTA overrated? Very true, 3 was okay, Vice City had bikes and an annoying sun effect that covered 80% of the screen at times and San Andreas got tedious quickly.

[Blackfox]

GTA overrated? Very true, 3 was okay, Vice City had bikes and an annoying sun effect that covered 80% of the screen at times and San Andreas got tedious quickly.

I quite liked GTA 3, sure the graphics were great but it was the first 3D GTA. It had fun missions and was just generally a godo fun game for me.

GTA:VC, now, everyone loves this game. Although i haven't played much, it just doesn't feel 'right'. It seems as if Rockstar have tried to make it more complicated.

GTA3 still wins over GTA Vice City.

[Dan Dare]

GTA:SA licks poo for its own pleasure. I found it deeply horrible.

GTA:VC on the other hand, is pure gold.

[Haver]

You guys clearly haven't heard about the impending HALO REVOLUTION: SHITTY SUBTITLE, have you? Suddenly, dark and repetitive becomes gameplay over graphics RIGHT GUYZ?

[Woz]

I have a theory, and I think it is true for the most part.

Games such as Halo and GTA score very high on ps2 and xbox because they are some of the great games on those consoles. Ps2 and xbox dont have games such as zelda or metroid or f-zero to name a few. Say for example any of these were to appear on these consoles, I'd think that the scores of GTA etc would be lower. Thoughts?

[mike-zim]

i agree. i also think Halo is by far the most over rated game of all time.

[Kurtle Squad]

Yeah, that's rubbish. They just have a higher amount of crap aswell as good games(esp the PS2); it doesn't mean you wont find great games if you don't look in the right place.

[The3rdChildren]

GTA and Halo are both good games, guys. Just because they're not on a Nintendo console doesn't mean they get better scores without Nintendo games to compare them to, that's nonsense.

Think the game sucks? Don't play it. I sure as hell won't miss you all when I'm having a blast on Xbox Live with my good friends. This thread should have been locked at the start. We have a Halo 2 thread for both positive and negativity.

[Deltatri3]

everybody shut up, everybody has different opinions on every different game. Its pointless to discuss whether any exclusive console title is worth its weight in gold or not on a nintendo website- no guesses why.

Try going to ntsc-uk or rllmukforum.com for a multiformat, less biast opinions!

[Rolf]

Think the game sucks? Don't play it.Hurrah.

Running on my 'island style' ADSL at 8 kb/s at 3 a.m. while the rest of the island sleeps, I've never played anything online - Xbox Live, PC or otherwise.

That makes me a sad panda.

Why should this thread be locked? This thread isnt only about Halo 2. I actually started it about Halo but it moved over to Halo 2 and GTA. Ive never played Halo 2 so I dont know if it sucks or not but I thought 1 did. And I have have no bias, I actually bought an xbox. Also its not ebtirely about the game sucking, look at the title. Its about how over rated it is. A game could be between average and good but was hyped up to be the best thing ever therefore being overrated.

[The3rdChildren]

Well, the simple key here is to remember you started this thread concerning Halo 2, what it has grown into doesn't really change my argument. I said this thread needed to be locked before it grew into a slagging match to see who could diss popular games the most.

It's too late to argue. You guys can shit on these games, I'll just play them.

[Woz]

I never said they were bad games.

[MunKy]

Am I the only one that think Halo is really overrated

That was the first sentence in this thread. I did not start it about Halo 2.

[Hellfire]

Halo 1 singleplayer is like pounding nails through our dicks (in the words of the PA guys). I really cant understand how anyone can like it. Controls are tight, graphics and music are awesome. Thats about it. The level design is horrible beyond words. It starts out nice, 40 minutes later, the horror starts. The entire game is played on places that all look alike, so theyre hard to navigate. Bungie clearly had to put those arrows in the floor because they saw that it was impossible to play without them. After hours of tedious levels you get to a horrible and frustrating last level and then you have to go back to the beggining of the game! Boo yah! And that last sequence in the warthog... oh god.
Multiplayer seems cool though. I played a little of Halo 2 and the level design seems great, so maybe Bungie learned something.

[Kurtle Squad]

I like the outside levels on Halo quite a lot. But then you've got the indoor bits half way though those levels, which are naff, I like the snow level, so cool.

[Bowser57]

I really cant understand how anyone can like it.

Then give up trying, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

All these folks who wonder "Am I the only one who does/doesn't like such and such a game?"

No, you're not. We all like different things, get over yourselves.

[Bren]

Doom 3

sucked badly imo

[Solo]

Halo and GTA are the two best examples of an overrated game, no thery're not bad games, but they're not amazing like the majority of publications say.

[Rolf]

Far Cry.

Amazing Graphics? Yes.
Amazing setting? Yes.
Amazing AI, as claimed by gaming publications the world over? They stand right in front of you, guns pointed calling things like 'Where are you?' 'Are you hiding?' The AI in this game, after I have finished it on 'Realistic', is practically non-existant.

And the story and general game-design is hollow and formulaic.

[Hellfire]

Then give up trying, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

All these folks who wonder "Am I the only one who does/doesn't like such and such a game?"

No, you're not. We all like different things, get over yourselves.
As far as I can see the only thing I said was my opinion. This is what this forum is about, expressing opinions and I was expressing mine about a game that I think is totally overrated.

[Colin]

Tales of Symphonia is extremely overrated. It took me ages to track down a copy (and I even got it at a low price), and it appears to be mostly enjoyable. But the only thing it's got going for it is it's battle system.

I can understand why so many people loved it, as they had probably never played an RPG before. It really should have been called "Tales of Symphonia: My First RPG."

I've just gone back to it today, as I want to finish it before I sell it in a few weeks time and make a tidy profit hopefully (as it appears to be quite rare), and I've just started disc 2. The story is abismal aswell, and makes me laugh often at just how stupid it is.

Also the word "bastard" is overly used by Lloyd. I just noticed today that the word comes up more often than you think, so I glanced over to the ToS case to see a Pegi rating of 12+............surely that doesn't make sense. Of course, they only chucked in language like that to make the characters feel gritty and cool, and if the story wasn't made out of so much pap, then that use of language may have been resonable......................but in the end it just ends up being purely pointless, just like the game.

The battle system though, is what truely shines through.

It isn't perfect, but it's still a game I looked forward to since seeing the first footage from Japan, and enjoyed immensely. Probably my favourite on the GameCube... but then I -do- buy into all that crummy Japanese kid with perfect hair saves the world with cheesy dialogue stuff.

[CooInTheZoo]

Metriod Prime was a little bit overrated. No way a 97% perfect game imo

*waits for the dagger*

[Bowser57]

Kameo's over-anticipated from what I can gather, no where near as pretty as some folks seem to think or are hoping, and nothing we haven't seen before.

[Dan Dare]

dan's unfounded judgement on kameo: rare have never made a good 3d adventure game in their existence. unless this is totally different expect a pretty, average playing game that rapidly unravels into a formless sack of steaming turd.

dk64. may you burn in the fires of hell for eternity.

[Towers]

I think both Halo's are overratted. Good games but it's not top in the FPS genre. I would give that to Half Life 2 easily.
Halo's levels were bland and the story didn't really pull me in at all. I like FPS that do something different rather than just look pretty with big guns and that's all Halo was to me
