	most overated PC game ever? Increase the size of your Attachments

i'd go for Half Life,

it won 101 awards, but gave future FPS an excuse to have a shitty ammount of enemies on screen, as long there was a narrative. it took a couple of years and Serious Sam to recify the situation!

Half-life was ****. Boring run-and-jump Mad Skillz shooter without good level design. Jump onto the next platform, then to the next platform, over the electric current... *yawn* Nothing compared to the magic of Quake 2, which recieved much worse reviews. The story was **** too, very cliché.

I'd go for the entire Ultima series, though. Or any so-called "CRPG" for that matter.

Command and Conquer: Red Alert

Revolting colour scheme, I mean red and blue soldiers and tanks? It's not the Napoleonic era here. Compared to C&Cs tasteful grey and tan soldiers, this really stupid.

Mine for "ore"; what a stupid concept, I mean the stuff even turned up on top of the snow. Who left it there? Tiberium made much more sense.

There was little use for infantry units. Fiddly to control, incredibly slow and weak.

Stupid, convoluted single-player missions, often involving conveniently placed explosive barrels. And Tanya.

And really bad missions in 'secret bunkers'.

Hideously out of scale units. I know this is common thing for RTS, but it's really extreme in Red Alert.

Stupid technologies; why do the Allies have conventional defenses like bunkers and turrets, whilst the Soviets have flame towers and Tesla coils?

And for a special mention, civ3.

Other than being SP, III isn't too bad.

So nobody thought it was great. That probably still makes it the most overrated game in the history of computer gaming.

I completely agree Adalbertus.

As there was no demo for CtP2, I downloaded a copy. Naughty I know but I am glad I did, I found it tedious, pointless and boring. Needless to say, I deleted that game and didn't buy it. It would have been £30 down the sh*tter if I had bought it. Never again.

Well, my point is that it was a step backwards from C&C. I at least like a nod towards realism, where possible.

indeed, although i found diablo wildly addictive, it remains a pointless clicking exercise, with the only strategy found in the alternating of the left and right mouse buttons.

The Sims. It got really pointless after a while.
Black and White. All I can remember thinking after trying it was: What the heck was that?!
Civ3. Nuff said.

Diablo 2 is a lot of clicking, but I like it for the mindless fun.

Black & White is probably right. It was like Episode I, super-hyped up and all you get is some retarded huminoid beast that you can't understand.

Honorable mention to Red Alert. The two sides were ridiculously unbalanced, and it only got worse with the expansions.

I could routinely crush any friend being the Allies in Red Alert. But not being the soviets. Because the Allies were great in defence, you can easily outbuild the amount of Mammoth Tanks the enemy builds with defensive buidings. And you can use ships as additional defensive units.
