Final Fantasy VII

>>9934763
Einhander

probably FF8.

>>9934770
I like how you both interpreted overrated in different ways but are both correct!

>>9934763
Crash Bandicoot

>>9934763
both Crash Bandicoot 2 and Spyro 2
both of them took the fun and tight concept of their first games and then blew them out of proportion.
3 then turned everything around luckily

Resident evil 2,and i say that as someone who liked it but its a pretty braindead movie game before movie game were a thing really.

>>9934770
People rarely even mention it

>>9934795
Mixed feels. I like both Crash 2 and 3 but never played the original

>>9934771
people shit on FF8 all the time.

>>9934808
it's also hailed as the best ff and the best jrpg and the best vidya by a lot of retards.

IDGAF Spoony.

>>9934836
easy retard, it's not a war. like it? play it.

>>9934773
All Crash Bandicoot trilogy

>>9934850
I have to agree.

>>9934763
there was this ps1 motorcycle game where you were able to kick others from their vehicles, my friends loved it. dont know the name anymore (which is telling), it was overrated.

Final Fantasy VII by a mile

>>9934770
Beat me to it.

>>9934870
It was probably Road Rash or Road Rash 3D or Road Rash Jailbreak.

Oh good a thread where people can say whatever game >(you) like is overrated to farm outrage

Thps2. Personally I think manuals, and the endless trick chains they created, completely ruined the series - thus making thps1 the only good one. I’m completely serious. Meanwhile, reviews would have you believe that thps2 (and 3) were the second and third coming of Christ.

>>9934948
manuals leveled the playing field for shitters so they could feel awesome. this is why reviewers love the later games

>>9934823
Ridiculous learning curve right in the beginning

>>9934770
I got to say this one too, I played it and it was a very underwhelming shooter I've played many way better ones over the years that.
In fact because it was rendered in 3d the ps1 could not match the awesomeness and scale of previous gen, current gen and arcade shooters that were 2d.
It's also a very ugly game on top of all those other shortcomings too.

>>9935086
early 3d ruined a lot of nice shooters. they were already worst than 2d back then and they aged like milk now.

>>9935086
If it was on Saturd it'd be muh masterpiece but on a real console it's shit.

>>9934768
Nah, I think it was a product of it's time and had huge hype. In retrospect it wasn't THAT amazing, but was good for the time for sure.

>>9935169
>In retrospect it wasn't THAT amazing
You're saying it was overrated the. That said, I disagree because FF7 is a masterpiece

>>9934806
RE2 for sure:
>collapsed the non-linearity of the first game
>story is a hollywood parody of the first game
>in general it just rehashes the first game without being as good
>puzzles start off braindead and are eventually phased out entirely
>you get so much ammunition it makes re4 blush

>>9935173
Yeah bud, didn't say overrated. I loved it too when it came out. I guess I would call it RATED lol since it was neither over or under.

I can't go back and play it today and experience it like I did back then. If I play today it is a slog to me and not fun.

So more like it is an amazing, genre defining game that is still a good game but has not stood the test of time compared to modern contemporaries.

>>9935217
What were you trying to demonstrate with "THAT"?

>>9935217
>modern contemporaries
This is also an oxymoron; a 1997 game's contemporaries are not from recent years

>>9935218
>>9935221
Bruh deal with it, FF7 as a game today is... ok.

Mad?

>>9935245
I'm not arguing with you about the quality of FF7 mate I'm telling you the demonstrative "THAT" implies that there is a precedent for FF7 being "THAT" amazing which you seek to challenge; therefore you do think the game is overrated. That's all there is, I'm not bothered by your opinions I just want you to articulate yourself

>>9934806
This guy gets it. RE2 didn't actually improve on anything from the 1st game, it's just some bizarro clown world version of RE1.
>>9934948
THPS3 I get, but I'm not seeing how endless trick chains were really a thing in THPS2 outside of vigorously rehearsed segments. 2 was a good balance between 1 & 3, and it had better levels.

>>9934948
I can agree with this one

>>9934763
Tomb Raider; it was mogged hard by all the PS1 sequels.

Silent Hill

>>9934763
those ones who only NTSC-U and NTSC-J release.

>>9935713
the remake, TR: Anniversary, is the best game in the franchise

>>9934763
Twisted Metal

>>9934763
FF7

>>9934948
100% agree. the first one is the only one I could get into.
