vote for some of the greatest games (poll #50, 9/19/11)

i've noticed that the entire final fantasy and grand theft auto series so far have been completely ignored, and i've been meaning to ask if anyone has any comments as to why. are they just completely overrated or do they just not hold up over time? any thoughts?

I've never had any interest in the GTA series. As for Final Fantasy, the series as a whole is phenomenally overrated, especially the later games.

So GTA is't overrated to you, but final fantasy is?

I don't think any of the final fantasy games are overrated, although I didn't care for 12. I can see not liking them, but I don't think that makes them any more overrated than the gta series

Where all dem schhmups at?

How should I know if GTA is overrated? I have never been interested in it, therefore, I've never played any of them.

Fair enough. I assumed that the lack of interest was after a try of one of the games.

I just think "overrated" is used a little loosly. I mean, the series is a huge success, and arguably the most responsible for the surge of interest in rpgs outside japan.

I can totally see not liking it, as I didn't like Chrono Cross at all. Still wouldn't call it overrated, and it got really great ratings. It just wasn't my taste.

Majora's Mask and Portal (PC, PS3, 360) survive their 3rd poll and make it to the list of top games, and Castlevania III continues to its 3rd poll. for this poll i'm predicting that Perfect Dark and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 do well, maybe also Shadow of the Colossus. happy voting.

Perfect Dark, Shadow of the Colossus, Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

Castlevania III doesn't get enough votes to make it to the list, but Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Shadow of the Colossus continue on. i'm guessing that those two continue to do well, along with the original Metroid. happy voting.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Shadow of the Colossus, Drill Dozer.

Sonic 2 and Shadow of the Colossus swap places, so both continue to their third and final poll, along with the original Metroid. based on the voters' seeming disinterest for newer franchises, i'm guessing that Halo 3 won't make much of an impression, but maybe you'll surprise me. happy voting.

Sonic 2 and Colossus make it to the greatest games list, and the NES Metroid continues on to its 3rd and final poll. i'm predicting RE4 will win big, although i'm not sure any of the others will make much of an impact this poll. happy voting.
