I can't really think of any truely over-hyped game, why, because all of the ones people
have seem to have listed so far sold TREMENDOUSLY. Whether or not you think its over-
hyped is moot, because the fact is 9/10 people still play those games like mad.
If a game sold badly, and only 5% of the owners of the game actually did like it, then
we could qualify it as over-hyped, but from my general knowledge, this really doesn't
happen.
Although, if anything, I might... MIGHT say Doom 3. Because even though most
people think its awesome from purely a graphics stand-point, the replay value is almost
zero and it considered to be a generally bad game, gameplay wise.
Also, for people who yell at the Final Fantasy series, you have to understand
that the people who play/hype them are nerds. You have to be to like
Role Playing games. It's all extremely repetitive from a rules standpoint.
Where it gets fun is story-line, tactics, gameplay, etc. So while
the fact that you have to fight, cast spells, and fight enemies never changes,
the way you fight, cast spells, and attack enemies and how you interact
with your environment changes from game to game. The people who play
Dungeons and Dragons do the same thing over and over again, but its the
storyline and adventure that makes it exciting for them and keeps them
coming back time after time, something that the people who don't play can't
seem to understand (in general.)
