The most overrated games ever

I hate Destiny, i don't know if it is overrated but it was the biggest waste of my time. F U Cryptarch

@jaken7:

"Literally" can be used informally to emphasize or express strong feeling. His use was fine.

Every single video game every created other that pokemon is overrated

Mass Effect; it's boring.

I nominate Arkham Knight.

Halo

Call of Duty

Assassin's Creed

No. It wasn't fine. It's because of usages just like his that we now have that second definition of literally. I refuse to acknowledge recent dictionary updates that only serve to further ruin the English language. Because now, thanks to him and others who use 'literally' as hyperbole, we don't have a word for the original meaning of literally. Because now literally can mean literally or figuratively. It's bull, and you're weird for pointing that out 7 months later, especially considering someone else had already done it back when I first made the comment (I'll refer you to the previous page), and all the pertinent information regarding the viewpoints on both sides of the issue had been made clear.

Also,

I was going to say RDR, GoW and TLoU, but realized I already said that when this thread was originally made. So good job me I guess.

Assassin's Creed- It used to be one of my favorite franchises, but besides the first couple games' stories and beautiful worlds, I find the gameplay to be pretty bad. The core gameplay is very repetitive and, unfortunately, none of it's fun.

The Last of Us- The gameplay is just average and the story has been done to death by other creators. It's a good game, but so many game critics are using it to try to validate their jobs as game journalists.

Uncharted 3- It was absolutely beautiful, but I hated that Naughty Dog kept taking the control from me. I felt like the game was on rails too much. Plus Nathan Drake, team mates, and my enemies would teleport around the room; the shooting was clunky, the puzzles were overly simplistic, and the enemies were too bullet spongy.

1. Didn't realize that was 7 months ago

2. I responded when I read it; I don't make a habit of reading through entire threads before I post. It's a flaw, sure.

3. Hey, take it up with Miriam, man, I didn't change it but I've done what you did before and had to eat crow in front of a full lecture hall.

4. I tried it and it was tearing jerkingly boring for me.

AC- Agreed 1 million times over

RDR- Agreed to a certain extent. IMO, nothing was wrong that a sequel couldn't fix.

sorry for old quote, but this is pretty much my thoughts exactly on the subject. Its why I haven't been interested in FPS since I was a teenager.

Like...I think I've bought one or two games in the past 10 years that were shooters, only cause my friends undying recommendations and ending up finding them meh lol.

I can agree with this as well. I think the only FPS I've bought was Far Cry 3. They all seem like the same reskinned thing to me.

FNAF. Most overrated game of the millennia.

I just deleted RDR from the list because it still is a great game! If they just tighten things up, things will be all good!

ALL the Witcher games

Destiny

Minecraft

Dark Souls

The Last Of Us(had a fun time playing it, but gameplay wise it felt like a nerfed Uncharted, great story though).

@jaken7:

I take it back--about Mass Effect, I mean.

Witcher 3 ( My god I f***ing hate that game )

Demon Souls ( Dark souls two is legitimately more fun and realistic to me )

Oblivion ( No comment )

Yup. That pretty much covers it. Lol.

Any final fantasy game except tactics.

Oh? Why the change of heart?

@jaken7:

I made it out of the damn Citadel. I just started Mass Effect 2 and I love it--it's beautiful, shooting and cover both feel great and I love the new characters. I see why people love it, now.

I find that when people ever say anything about how the MGS series is overrated find the controls difficult to master and the gameplay too hard to get used to and then don't complete the games. Most people who say this never play the games in length.

Batman Arkham Knight- The batmobile was a pain in the ass to use and probably the worst story out of the arkham series.

This x100, although some people would argue that the best game of the series is Morrowind.

Hearthstone, the RNG fest for casuals.

Mass Effect 3 plays even better. It's not as good as Mass Effect 2 overall, but gameplay is definitely the strongest in the 3rd entry in the series.

Halo isn't overrated, it's just absolutely amazing. There's a different. Having said that, Destiny is one of the most recent examples of seriously overrated game. I mean, christ, the marketing tactics are shameful. Activison, or bungie, depending on who you ask, has been trying to squeeze every single penny out of the gamers. Destiny is a complete sham, and yet it managed to make shitloads of money and still has a huge gamer population number.

RIP phone and tablet users.

Mario

Flappy bird

Angry bird

Subway surfer

Street fighter

World of war craft (addicting but overrated)

Fallout 3 - Amazing.

Majora's Mask - Agreed.

Twilight Princess - Agreed.

Final Fantasy 7 - Agreed.

Final Fantasy 8 - Agreed.

Bioshock Infinite - Really fun to play and amazing story, underrated if anything

The Entire Elder Scrolls series - Other than online all amazing.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Agreed

God of War 3 - I guess

Journey - Not played

Super Smash Bros: Melee. - So much fun not overrated.

Left 4 Dead 1 & 2 - Both fun but maybe slightly

Resident Evil 5 - It was shit and everyone said so...I guess it's still overrated though.

Metroid Prime - Definitely.

007 Golden Eye - Get out, now. Classic.

Five Nights at Freddy's - Never played.

Mass Effect 3 (holy shit I've never been more disappointed in a game) - Yet to finish 2.

Every Assassins creed entry except Black Flag.

Every CoD game.

Every Gears of War game.

Every Mario game since N64.

Oh and Castlevania: Symphony of the night.

I don't like COD but with every game I've played that's critically acclaimed, I can't find a reason for it being overrated. Skyrim maybe but other than that they're all amazing.

I know, I'm way to positive for CV.
