Originally posted by Azzazzimon Overrated: EQ, several better MMORPGs out, but still the biggest (in US/EU) Overhyped: L2, I would say WoW/Eq2, but they aren't out yet, so how can we know they are overhyped?------------------------- Azzazzimon
LOL Hype comes from people talking about the game before it comes out. I guess current talk about it too, but mainly pretalk about a game. (example. DOOM3 is gonna own.)
way too many game to choose from to over hype over rate underrate.... umm
Overhyped; WoW: to me it doesn't seem that special, they talk about things that are in current mmos OverRated; CoH: I couldnt even get threw the free trial. Like the one guy said above me somewhere it turns into an arcade game...
Underhyped; can't think of any Underrated; DAoC: Was a fresh gametype with its realm wars and how it works so well.
Hype: General coverage, advertisements, etc... done by the PR machine (magazine ads, preview articles, dev posts, etc..). Buzz: Talk and posts from (possible) consumers. News posts, forum posts, etc...
EQ2 is super-hyped right now (lots of advertisements in magazines, lots of previews, etc..). The buzz, however, is really more about WoW and CoH (at least from what I have experienced). Of course, the previews of WoW in magazines is a lot of Hype, but...
Most overrated: Red Alert 2, Ultima Online, Quake 3 Arena, City of Heroes (fun but no replayability)
Most overhpyped: anything with Lara Croft in it is pure garbage and Eidos likes to shove her down everyones throat.
I dont see the massive hype for WoW and EQ2 like people are posting here, they have a normal amount of hype by their loyal followings.
GTA:Vice City is a great game, I thought it was fun anyhow.
Dont bash Halo just becauase it came out for the console first, it is a very good game in its own right. PC gamers like to bash anything console. I prefer the PC as well but there are many good console games.
Most Over rated: Any game with a community of Fanboys.
Most Over Hyped: Any game with a community of Fanboys.
Sry guys, but most of the people posting WoW as most overhyped seem to oddly enough have a EQ2 mention in thier tag lines, or I've noticed playing the FB role in other threads. So I'm making my opinions on choices to reflect the same levels of biased opinions
Oh and for those who posted the GTA games as the most overrated, the senseless violence loses it's charm real quick but the story line is still great. NOW Manhunter on the other hand was just thier sad excuse to try and milk the crowd of people who were just playing GTA for the violence and THAT game is definantly overrated.

I'd have to agree with Xzaro and add EQ2 to Overhyped. I mean I will be one of those people getting EQ2 and WoW as soon as they are released, but there is no reason to pick one game and bash the other if you haven't played either.

Counter Strike overrated? I think not. Ive played it for 4 years and i still love it. If you participate in clans and tournaments its fun. Its also fun to use custom skins and to own your own server.

Yes i know, I played it for a couple months. Was fun at first but hardly anything special IMO. Remember, these are our opinions. Neither is wrong. Trying to impose that your opinion is right isn't something that can happen

Over-hyped: WoW by a long shot.
Over-Rated: Lineage 2. MMORPG.com gave it a 6. something. Hell, it shoulda been a 2.3 lol
People who have to create conspiracy and hate threads to further a cause lacks in intellectual comprehension of diversity.
