I was pointing to FPS games because both games that you claim I have no experience with happen to come from that genre.
And any review marks for Halo should be taken with a pinch of salt. It was an Xbox exclusive launch title, and - trust me here - that always increases the score somewhat. I never said it was bad, but I did say that it was overrated. Half-Life, if you must know, was overrated for quite different reasons (IMO). Five years after it was released people were still claiming that it was the best game ever, despite it having been surpassed in pretty much every way. That's when I lost faith in mainstream reviewers to actually look objectively at stuff. |
The first level of Halo was good, but after that it just went down as a rather average shooter.
But I guess because it was the first real fps "only" for Xbox, it was hyped so incredibly much so it became "a great game". Man, I suck at explaining stuff. |
Why would being an exclusive increase the score? That makes absolutely no sense.

So Halo is a 10/10 on the xbox, because thats the only thing going for the xbox unlike the PC, I won't even bother listing all the great PC shooters. |

Anyway, Halo would have been seen as a reasonable if unspectacular game if it had remained a PC game as was originally intended. Against precisely no competition on the Xbox it was seen as t3h gr34t35t g4m3 3v4r. That's how life works. |

So why is it Halo for the PC isen't that successful compared to other FPS?

Read the reviews and find out. Has more to do with the controls than anything else.

Oh yes, becasue highly rated games that don't sell well always suck.
Beyond Good and Evil? Sucked. Longest Journey? Sucked. Pyschonauts? Sucked. Yeah you're right. |
Oh, cut it out. Whether you like it or not, there are people like us, who are real gamers, who have valid tastes, who do not like Halo at all. It's not due to a bias against MS, and it's not because of sales. We just didn't like the game. Deal with it.
|
Don't tell me to cut it out. I have every right to argue your points as you have to make them. Deal with that.

It's not because a game is overrated that it's also bad. Halo was fun to play with two, Half-Life was a pretty good FPS and I'm not even sure what BGaE is doing in this list.
Games that I think are overrated (or overhyped) Killzone Gran Turismo 3 Gran Turismo 4 Tony Hawk series Gabriel Knight 3 (oh God, that game sucks) |
Don't be an idiot- arguing your point is one thing, but you keep throwing inane insult after insult, littered with irritating sarcasm:

This is civilized debate. It's not like I can punch you in the face or anything.
Kidding of course. Anyway, FINE! Don't like Halo! See if I care! |
Actually, I forgot to say that I think that the entire Final Fantasy series from VII onwards (at least from what I've played of them) is overrated. I weep every year when Final Fantasy fanboys manage to get their character to come out top in whatever big poll GameFAQs runs...

Either way, there's no way to prove it was overrated, just like there's no way to prove it isn't. People like different things, and there's no such thing as blasphemy in gaming. This isn't goddamn religion, people.
