I don't just mean games you hate, but those that maybe you enjoyed as well, but felt where nowhere near as good as most people say, the Sims I really can't stand while the Smash Bros series I enjoy but feel its very over rated, so what franchises to you are over rated.

Zelda is...slightly overated, due to many things do seem to get repeated, but its still one of my favourite franchies's.

Halo is also very overated. Although the co-op on Halo 3 was fun I admit.

I know I can't think of anymore but I know I'm missing some.

Even though i'm a major fan, I have to go with Zelda. That series has some great games but also some that felt uninspired.

Halo is indeed overrated. I enjoyed Halo 1 but 2 and 3 were meh.
Pokemon is another overrated franchise in my opinion. It was on its prime during the R/B/Y and G/S/C days

Ah yes Pokemon was the one I forgot. I completley agree with you, those days were when the Pokemon games were the best. I bought Pokemon Platinum last year and while it was fun, it just wasn't as fun as say Blue or Gold (Which were the other Pokemon games I had).

Didn't Platinum come out this year?
And yes I agree with you. Pokemon is overrated.

Yet you have Cynthia as your avatar. If you didn't like Gen IV so much, it seems odd to me that you would choose her. Gens I and II had plenty of beautiful women you could have picked. Don't change it now though. It's nice to see Cynthia on the forums.

On-topic: I'm not going to mention any Microsoft or Sony game franchises*cough*Halo*cough*. Unfortunately, Zelda tends to be overrated sometimes. Some of them deserve the praise they get and some of them really don't.

Sorry I got mixed up it wasn't Platinum, I meant Pokemon Pearl.

Halo, or 'the trudge' as I call it, was some mindless fun but that's all and deserves no-wear near the plaudits it gets. Definitely one for 'the masses'. And yes I played through 1 AND 2 in co-op which was distracting but still lame, and I couldn't find any story in there, though others assure me otherwise (I musta missed it sorry). And don't retort with "Halo 3 rocks" cos' I don't care.

Final Fantasy! And no I'm not going into my reasons as I've been banging my head against that wall for years, to no avail.

Rawr!

Depends on what you choose to view, read, etc. etc.
And what you think overrated is, and popular....

All video games, media, movies, merchandise, etc. are in some ways if not all the same reasons.
Here's the message:
Enjoy what YOU like.

Oh, in this day and age ... its not even worth mentioning them, or to 'overrate' them even further...
