Top 5 Overrated RPGs

[Pete for President]

Wow, never thought anyone could ever breakdown Wakka like that. His voice acting is far supreme even for today's standards imo. I'm on MILF's side on this one; his story and development always felt very humane to me.

As for my list, although I feel like some aren't as overrated anymore after seeing them a lot in this thread:

Skyrim & Oblivion > Flawed and boring. Dark Souls is the true path.

Kingdom Hearts > How can a game get away with a messed up story like that?

FFVI > Do note I have only played this first about 2 years ago, but really couldn't get into it. There's some pretty epic character development, but some terrible gameplay design and unbalanced difficulty spikes ruin the experience. I'm very aware it did some pretty amazing things at it's time storytelling-wise, but it feels like it's overrated to me.

Hate to admit it, but last: Ni No Kuni. It does a lot of things right visually, but it never ever stops holding your hand. The reviews never adressed this and that is why they're all rating it as stellar, but to me that's not the case.

Of course this is all personal opinion but I found FFXIII to be the most overrated piece of crap I've ever played. I really struggle to find anything to like about the game apart from the graphics. I think if critics had a chance to look at what some of the feedback was like before reviewing the game when it just came out they would revise their opinions, as they were probably afraid to go against the grain with the big FF series.

That is a fair point- compared to the "expert" and "media" reviews, FF13 is obscenely overrated. But I think enough fans had derided it that my expectation level was lowered enough that the game came up short but not amazingly so.

Oh, look, another "MILF is wrong about everything" thread.

(I actually do agree that FFIX is somewhat overrated at EoFF, though it's not as overrated generally)

Final Fantasy series
Kingdom Hearts series
The Elder Scrolls series
Mass Effect series

Anyway, FF9 is overrated.
FF13 is overrated.
Dragon quest is overrated.
Oblivirim too.

OBJECTION !



Final Fantasy III is pretty underrated !

[NeoCracker]

I will say, I hate Wakka in FF X, but I am actually fine with his Racism. If anything, him overcoming that was probably one of the only things in X I think was handled well.

[Loony BoB]

Final Fantasy VI
Suikoden
Final Fantasy X
TES IV: Oblivion

No idea on the 5th at the moment. Too tricky to call. Oh! Wait!

Diablo II

Heck, even Chrono Trigger isn't perfect, even though it's probably the best damn game ever made.

Chrono Trigger is perfect but it's not the best game ever made. CT is one of those rare games where all the elements, from the story to the art to the music, are in perfect harmony with each other. In CT, you cannot change anything anywhere without spoiling everything everywhere.
