Can we agree that Halo is a good FPS with plenty of great gameplay and music and such but got treated like the messiah because it was the only worthwhile thing on Xbox at one point?
The reason why Half-Life is so influential is not because it's unsurpassed, but because of the deep influence it had on FPSs and games in general. Not only did it check all the boxes (graphics, cool guns, aliens etc.) but it threw in a well told story which ufolded solely in the game. It invented the idea of scripted sequences, took creative risks, had some great physics puzzles (which were even more of an emphasis in HL2) and was full of memorable set-pieces. Unlike anything else at the time, Half-Life felt like a living, breathing, dramatic world. With aliens.

I'll agree with you on Halo, though I doubt anybody is going to manage to change my mind regarding Half-Life any time soon.
Not that it matters, really . |

Oh, and back on topic, I thought the GTA games were fun but overrated. Non-linear gameplay? What, so now I can explore a low-polygon city, run people over, shoot people and repeat... deep and meaningful choices being offered there, kids. Will you kill someone by a bridge or in a park? What car will you use to kill them? What order exactly would you like to complete some missions in in order to unlock a totally linear story?

I agree with Lacey about the FF series. FFVII was pretty good, but the rest...meh.
Somebody should start an underrated thread. |

HL is still the best game ever IMO! What an amazing experience when I played it 8 years ago.

Big Rigs, Sam? No, no, no, that's not overrated at all; that actually is the greatest game of all time...

But a character poll doesnt really have much to do about the game itself though. FF8 sucked but you have to admit that squall if a pretty Awesome character design, the whole Revolver sword thing was really cool looking Quote:
