Half Life 3

Undertale - It took a lot of pages off from Earthbound and just basically served as an example of what happens when you are nothing but fan-service.

Doom - There will be no arguments against the fact that Doom did set the FPS world on fire when it arrived. But, you can make an argument that overtime, there have been lots of very enjoyable FPS games that will give Doom a run for its money. I'm also a fan of Quake and I think Quake helped progress FPS in its own way. I really hate that Doom: The Dark Ages was pissed away when that could've been the Quake remake or continuation we'd all like to see. Instead, Quake died at Quake Champions, a very forgettable hero-shooter.

Skyrim, until the mods came

Candy Crush and the million remakes from the same publisher. Stole the core mechanic from Bejeweled but designed to be addictive instead of fun.

Also how are you so shameless that you'll publish remakes of a game you stole in the first place?

Dota and LoL. I shamelessly judge anyone who regularly plays either of those games by choice. Way too many people seem to like them.

EA sports/fifa.

I’ll play flappy bird over that any day.

Skyrim. It's a broken mess of a game that's barely held together by duct tape and hope, and it would be treated as such if it wasn't for the modding community. Most of the game is fetch quests, and the magic system is just bad. Melee combat sucks, too. All one handed weapons feel the same, all the two handed weapons feel the same. The only actually interesting path of progression is the stealth archer, and I'm pretty sure that's an accident.

Probably the best sandbox ever made though, just a shit game.

I never understood why Breath of the Wild was so beloved. I played through it and Tears of the Kingdom, but I really wonder if they would have been as well received if they didn't benefit from the Zelda franchise.

I found myself getting annoyed with the game more often than excited. I very quickly became annoyed encountering koroks, or shrines, or the stupid sign guy. I think the bevy of side quests and collectibles diluted too much of the narrative and enjoyment of the world.

Basically every Call of Duty. Copy paste of the previous game with new paint. Never saw the appeal, gameplay is boring, just twitchy, and so many cringe people seem to love it.

Minecraft

For most games, it depends on who you're asking. I, for example, hate multiplayer looter-shooters, so the most overrated game to ME would be Fortnite. It literally hold no attraction for me and the thought of even playing it makes me shudder.

However, the universal answer is really any EA sports title.

It's literally the same game every...damn...year....

Skyrim. It was at best "fine" for me. I really dislike level scaling. The combat felt unsatisfying. I don't remember the story. It's not weird like Morrowind. The magic and enchanting was over-simplified.

But for many people it's their grand joy. So I guess that's good for them.

Half Life 3

Final Fantasy VII

It's not even the best Final Fantasy

Halo.

Look, I'm not saying it's a bad game or you're a bad person for liking it, but man, I have never been able to see the appeal. As someone who has played a lot of shooters (mostly PC) and read a lot of sci-fi, I find it exceptionally mid. And I'm not really fan of the militaristic reverence vibe it's got going on like .. bleh. Does it actually criticize this more as the series goes on or is it really just all oorah? I also kind of blame it for the trends of vehicle segments and only holding two weapons that leaked into other FPSes at the time (looking at you Bioshock Infinite - WTF), although I do admit that's more of a petty, personal point. I respect that it pushed FPSes and online multiplayer forward on consoles, but when people tell me it's their favorite game with one of the best storylines ever I'm like, "But have you played any other games?"

I used to work in a game store back when Halo 3 released and I was a much more fervent hater back then, I decided I was gonna play the original Marathon games so I could be a hipster snob and hate on them, too. Actually ended up really loving them, though they're only loosely related, I think they had a lot more going on stylistically and story-wise even though the gameplay was more primitive.

I retry every few years, but never get very far. Maybe I should skip to 2 because one is so bland I get bored of it.

According to this thread overrated means either "games I didn't like" or "games that didn't work for me".

I'll probably get hate for this but most Fromsoft games. I just have never been able to get into them at all. It has nothing to do with it being hard, I enjoy hard games and always play on the highest difficulty. I just can't get into the combat, it's not fun for me.
