    Despite being handled like shit, you have to be purposefully obtuse to pretend it wasn’t a global phenomenon for several months. There wasn’t anything “overrated” about it, even if it did wind up petering out.

      It being so big is what made it overrated. Being overrated is the attention the game gets outweighing how good the game is, and Pokemon Go is not a good enough game for that attention

      It being popular and a global phenomenon doesn't mean you can't overrate the quality of it. You even say it was handled like shit. That's what a list like this is pointing out. The flaws were glossed over at the time because of hype, popularity or just poor reviewing methods.
      The finale of Lost had insane viewership numbers but it wasn't overrated because of it, people actually acknowledged the flaws and called it out on it. Go, on the other hand, had a lot of review publications turning a blind eye to how mishandled and barebones it was and made it out to be the second coming of christ on hype and the whole "every kids dream come true" concept of it alone. It was overrated.

              I could see someone putting Ys I & II on their list.

              Both good choices. I think there are plenty of good games made before 1990 that hold up today (as I say, I'd put at least one on my personal top ten), but I think it's a bit too restrictive considering how many good games there were in the 90's.

      The only people that say its shit are the are dumbasses that played with digital melee controls.
      One of the game's big features was the dismemberment/crippling system, made even better by how you could precisely aim a melee swing to cripple or chop a limb off.
      Game got even better when you had a full party of people to dick around the island with and dunk on the undead.

        My favorite part about that game is how when you play it alone, it's a survival horror game. but when you play it with friends it instantly turns into this goofy ass chav sim where you run around and beat up old defenseless people(zombies) and rob them blind

          GTA 3 was sort of like a beta to San Andreas. It defined the open world, city mission, wacky in between mission game design. And, the formula that Rockstar lazily repeated a dozen times afterwards. As well as fifty million other lame as fuck companies.

              It did the things that GTA 3 did, but far more of them, and in a solid "package" that San Andreas ended up being sold as under different titles and formats. GTA 3 didn't have flying vehicles, barely any water craft. Didn't have comprehensive melee. Stats. And, a bunch of the other shit that you see come up again, and again, and again in the GTA clones. In fact, GTA 3 is derivative of earlier and equally bland open world titles.

      It's legendarily shit. Played it for the first time the other day out of morbid curiosity. Was almost unplayable. Not even good for a once through. So, disagree. Hype for it's dog shit was and still is actually understated.
      >Tomb Raider 1996
      Agreed.
      >Bully
      Unique open world beat 'em up. Not much else too add. I don't agree that it's hyped, though.
      >Crazy Taxi
      Sort of agree. It's a legendary game and unique title. But, it's hype is OLD. Almost nobody even knows what that game is now.
      >Goldeneye
      Genre defining and on a shit game console, too. Disagree.

      >Uncharted 2
      Agree, it's shit. And, it replaced the Jak series to boot.
      >Tekken 8
      No idea.
      >Mario Kart 64
      Disagree, game was very fun and deserves all the praise it received and still does.
      >MGS4

      No idea, but there are a lot of great racing games out there.

      Fuck off, no one cares if you have no idea about something and "genre defining" and "groundbreaking" doesn't mean it isn't overrated. They spawned overrated trash genres and trends.

    if everyone owns a title and it's very, very good compared to the average of the genre, it isn't overrated.

    witcher 3 cant be overrated when skyrim exists. skyrim is the game everyone knows because it was rereleased 17 times.

    skyward sward isn't underrated at all, no one talks about it. now breath of the wind is overrated. it put zelda in an open world, big woop. then 6 years later it was rereleased as totk with a garrys mod gimmick. beyond overrated.

        Yes but unlike hate for most of the other games on the list hate for Skyrim is almost always met with immense amounts of vitriol and insistence that your opinion isn't genuine as if it's impossible to not like Skyrim.
        And the thing that makes it so overrated is that this is the case despite the fact that Skyrim is strictly worse than a game in the same series made over a decade prior, and that game was already an overrated one.

          I don't see it. Skyrim is like bioshock infinite where yeah it got a lot of praise on release, but the tides quickly turned and the common opinion is that it's kind of mediocre.

    >Witcher 3
    Agreed, but putting it here and not Skyrim should be a capital offense
    >New Vegas
    Other way around, "journalists" underrated the fuck out of the game because they unironically thought Fallout 3 was a masterpiece and that New Vegas was just "more of the same"
    >Half Life 2
    Kind of agree, but most people hype it because of how revolutionary it was in terms of technology, not actual gameplay, which makes it less overrated than people make it out to be. If it was truly overrated you'd see people defending the airboat shit and nobody does that

    I liked the game but it's not the masterpiece journalists like to sell it as, although I'd argue ToTK is the more glaring ommission, since it's just an asset flip sequel which despite improving in some areas (bosses being the most notable of them imo) still carries over a lot of the previous entry's issues (such as copypasted content) and also somehow manages to make some things worse (the Fuse mechanic, worse menuing and the retarded story come to mind)

      DMC2 is one of the most hated games of all time. I could see it being a dark horse pick on a "most underrated games of all time list" just by sheer virtue of how much visceral hate it gets from everyone. It's become one of those games that's hip to hate on without even playing and hyped up as one of the worst things to ever exist. Which isn't incorrect in this case, but damn people won't shut up about how bad it is.
      I think whoever put it on this list must have meant DMC3 and just put the wrong number because they'd never played a DMC game in their life and couldn't tell them apart. Or they meant DMC5 and thought it was DMC2 because they only know about DmC and DMC5

    Which "Game Journalists"? Be more specific. Plus I have never even heard of a website called "gosocial.co" which leads me to believe it's probably some AI generated shit or something.

    Off the top of my head a lot of these are barebones as fuck or so shallow it's like wandering around a desert. Others have core gameplay issues like persona literally being rock paper scissors: the game series or hollow knight being everything wrong with indie games in general. Some are just insufferable like divinity or tlou

    If Witcher 3, one of the best singleplayer RPGs ever is overrated, I wonder whats not overrated then since none of the rpgs since W3 hold a candle to it even 8 years later

    i really dont give a shit which games they think are overrated
    if anything that just means theyre better games than they would want to admit
    i can already see a bunch of entries on that lists that are vastly better than much of the ridiculous shit that gets released today
    they are just hatin because those games arent as political as they are now or some shit

    Exclusively in spheres of the internet where users are likely to watch video essays, New Vegas absolutely is the most overrated game of all time and it's not remotely close.

    I think when it comes to being overrated, Persona 5 takes the cake over FFVII. For all the praise, the high review scores you don't really feel the love that it gets from its fans, compared to VII. The cast of VII easily beats P5s all day, everyday. Story, themes, music. The only thing that P5 does better is balance/game mechanics. But let's not pretend it's a big brained, hyper strategized gameplay. It's literally spamming enemy weakness and party attacks. The boss is a bit harder, but you'll just weave in buff/debuffs in between turns.

    Most of them are right, but some are objectively wrong. such as:

    >Guitar Hero
    the game is fun, its praise and historical value is deserved.

    >Call of Duty
    the franchise or the original game? CoD 1 isn't overrated, the franchise, yes, maybe, but definitely not the first game.

    >Carmageddon
    no one talks or remembers it. The original games are good fun, the only overrated thing about them is all the stupid ~~*muh violence*~~ criticism it got.

    >(Super) Mario Galaxy
    definitely not overrated, the series is great and they are some of the best 3D Mario games and some of the best games on the Wii, how could this be overrated? They deserve the praise.

    >Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands
    I never seen anyone even praise or remember those games (the entire PoP franchise) letalone consider them overrated, Assassins Creed, maybe? Yes, definitely overrated, but not Prince of Persia. Maybe within the context of the franchise, I can agree, but not as a game as a whole.

    >Portal
    Portal is a great game and it's execution is almost flawless. It deserves the praise it gets.

    >Tekken 8
    yeah, so far yes, but the game hasn't even been released. All betas get a disproportionate amount of attention from their respective fanbases because that is the point of them. To get seen and discussed about in time to make changes for the final release.

    >Tetris
    what? Tetris fits in the same realm of Portal, it's gameplay is great and it's execution is short of flawless. What else negative can be said about it? It's a good game and stood the test of time.
