Over-rated games?

[Madame Adequate]

I have to disagree with this. I thought X had by far the best characters, plot, and most importantly gameplay* of any FF to date, and still does.

You're joking, right? FFX had probably the most botched/half-assed gameplay ever. Linear dungeons, easy battles, the whole game is just one long adventure from point A to point B.

I don't need to point out the irony to everyone, do I?

For a console FPS, it's pretty decent, but overall, it doesn't even come close to the likes of Half-Life 2.

Thanks for reminding me! The Half-Life series is [strike]massively[/strike] considerably overrated Completely forgot about that. I edited it, you may note; I don't think they're bad games by any remote stretch of the imagination. But I also don't think they're the genre-defining epic adventures many portray them as.
