The Overrated Thread

[Mikefrompluto]

Post what you think it overrated that everyone else seems to love. I'll start with Dane Cook. He isn't funny and seems like someone I would not hang out with.

I couldn't agree more, Mike. Going along the lines of comedians, I don't like Jeff Dunham at all. Everyone seems to think he's hilarious, but he just doesn't do it for me, I find the puppet thing more annoying than amusing. I also think FPS games are overrated, but I'm a sucker for storyline, and I have yet to come across one with a story good enough to keep me interested.

Jeff Dunham is a hack. Im not a fan of prop comedy at all.

To out my life on the line I'm gonna say Nuttella.  The stuff is good, but not the mind blowing be-all end-all people make it out to be.

Bioshock 1? 
As for overrated.... Song of fire and ice (Game of Thrones) read the first two books, started the third, set it down one day and never looked back.

I never played the first one, but I'll admit, Bioshock 2 did have an awesome story. I can't believe I forgot about that one! I'll correct my statement; VERY few have actually had a story decent enough to keep me interested.

I have to agree. I saw in another thread that someone said Nutella was better than peanut butter and a little piece of me died on the inside.

Im going to throw the Hunger Games books out there. I struggled through the first one (due to lack of interest, not because of reading skills) and had no desire to finish the other two. The whole time I was thinking "Battle Royale is SO MUCH better than this." The author of HG said she had never heard of Battle Royale beforehand, but im not buying it.

I agree on FPS games. Goldeneye (N64, not the Wii remake) was great. But mainly because I spent many, many nights staying up late, pounding Cokes and playing it with the bros, so it's a bit nostalgic for me.

A bunch of my friends were into Halo. I will say, it was pretty fun turning the gravity low and running around killing each other with gravity hammers. But when it comes down to it, if I'm going to play a game myself, you've got to give me a good story with characters I actually care about.

I can agree, but right now FPS is the gaming market right now.  We need a REAL kingdom hearts game (in otherwords, not the DS kingdom hearts games.) but square Enix wants to make a new final fantasy game instead.  They should just give up on the new final fantasy games, and just keep making remakes of final fantasy VII

Memes.  They aren't funny.  I actually find them to be rather dumb and annoying.  If someone says "Hey, look what I found on membase!" I just walk away or start talking to someone else.

I don't understand why my little pony is so popular. My 4-year old niece won't watch it but my 24 year old brother loves it. Can anybody explain why people like such a simplistic show??

Edit: no offense to dudecore, I'm just lost

Ugh, thank you! Can't tell you how many people I know who think memes are the greatest thing ever and repeat them at every opportunity. Drives me crazy. It's not witty, funny, or clever.

As for the others mentioned... FPSs aren't typically the kind of game you play for story, they're more for the sake of PvP competition. Typically. I have recently started Bioshock Infinite, however, and holy crap...I'm only a few hours in, but the story is already completely enveloping and drawing me into the game big time.

As for Dane Cook, I saw one older stand up by him that was actually pretty funny. But everything else I've seen was just awful. It's like he took a career turn into garbage that made him bad at comedy but somehow made him famous.  As for Dunham, I'm okay with him. It's different, sure, but he has some good material in there.
