ITT: Overpraised games

I'll start with the obvious one.

your mom

Is this the thread where anons pretend that too many people enjoying a game is a bad thing.

You wish user. Fear the old blood.

But it's popular!! That's bad!

I agree

nioh was better

The Witcher 3.

It is, though?

At least when people are as fanatical about it as they are about BB.

Heinously over praised. All of the praise is superficial.

The Last of Us.

...

>I couldn't beat Father Gascoigne

chrono trigger

poorfag thread?

Nothing will ever top Ocarina of Time for "most overrated game".

...

So was it Kos or Kosm?

Wouldn't be a proper 'too popular for it's own good' thread without this one.

I dont no man. I didnt even read reviews before I played it. Bought it, pumped like over 100 hours into it and enjoyed every minute and DLC. GOTY for sure

Any game made by Rockstar.

>ITT; calling out good, popular games because you're that much of a hipster

People like this make me laugh. They uaually really like to be special snowflakes, but don't have any outstanding qualities. Therefore, they pretend to have some form of "elite" taste, which allows them to disregard popular media and basically say; look how sophisticated my opinions are! Basically a bunch of hipsters.

But please, do continue. It entertains me seeing you wrestle your way through arguments.

How are genuine, objectively good games overpraised?
Is it opposite day today?

Because people praise every aspect even the mediocre or sub standard ones because it excels in other aspects.

I posted the Mass Effect one.
It's not a bad game, but it gets way too much praise for what it is.
The RPG elements are shallow as hell. People love talking about how you can take your own approach in conversations, but it boils down to "please give me the money / give me the money / give me the money or I'll hurt you". It's the same shit that people dislike in Fallout 4 or TellTale games. It's flavor choices.
And the combat is a bit of a mess. It feels floaty, with enemies and squad mates gliding to and fro. Let's be honest, nobody plays this for the combat.

Now, it has a good, if a bit cliche, story and the setting is cool. It's a game that's better than the sum of its parts and it's worth playing.
But it does get a lot of praise it doesn't deserve. It's not the great action-RPG that so many people say it is - it's "just" a fine game.

MY FAVOURITE THREAD TY OP

A game can be good and overrated user.

this, also any zelda game

any game that reddit likes
>anything by nintendo
>anything by bethedsa

Battlefield 1, it's funny seeing all the ex-codbabbies thinking they're somehow superior becaused they moved on to an equally casual piece of shit.

Only some say Kosm.

>lets list AAA games: the thread
I mean I could just google search triple A shit

can we just have a soulsbourne hate thread instead?

>DUDE SKATEPARK DESIGN LMAO GLORY KILLS SO OLD SCHOOL!

Mass Effect is okay to me because while people circlejerk over it all the time, it's relatively rare to see anybody actually say it's some kind of revolutionary high art that cured their cancer or something. Whereas people DO say stuff like that for TW3 and ESPECIALLY Soulsborne.

It's shit

I liked BB but playing it after ds 1 and 2 I felt like it was just a side step in style etc. Great title but I'd say on par with the souls series in general.

fucking this, people only praise it because it was better than 3 but both games are ass

Witcher 3. Deus Ex. Anything Bioware ever made. Anything Bethesda ever made. Mario everything. Every 3D Zelda ever. Halo.

>deus ex

I hope you mean the newer iterations. the original is touted as a masterpiece for a damn good reason.

Oh no, I mean the original.

>no zelda: BoTW
this thread sucks

Half-Life

Incredibly easy too, platinumed it in 10 days.

I think TW3 is good, but it's severely overrated.

Bloodborne I don't know. It's overpraised by NEVER EVER Sonybros because it's exclusive to their console, but it's also underpraised by people who don't have a PS4 and just shitpost on it.

Mass Effect has always sucked.
Just because the first one had some actual "role-playing" doesn't mean it wasn't a chore to play.

>Mario everything
Mario 64 is literally the most genius piece of game design ever conceived, off yourself.

It's a fine game but to me it's just another Platinum game, maybe it's cause I've never played the original Nier that I didn't really think it was all that special, I'm glad for the Nier fans though since they've been wanting a sequel for God knows how long.

stop posting this

definitely play the first Nier. all kinds of comfy

I'd love to but I can't seem to get my hands on a physical copy anywhere, just wish they'd sold the game digitally I definetly would've played it before Automata.

thought about emulating it?

Here's the first trophy in case there's any debate about whether it's true....

it actually goes into 11 days

>bloodsouls
>mass erect
>bitcher 3
>dood 2016
>nier: automata
no breath of the wild/10

Nier ran like shit on the ps3, I imagine it would be a nightmare on the emulator due to how retarded some fights get with the particle spam.

Anything made by bethesda

How come all the cheevofags are on PS4 seemed to all be on the 360 last gen

Skyrim and Witcher 3. Two garbage games cut from the same cloth, and facebook normies adore them.

>genuine, objectively good
Kys

Every Zelda title besides WW.

Its a souls reskin give it up already. Its nothing special .

How is 35 shekels overpriced for the Witcher 3? Most AAA games now cost at least 60 on release.

360 was the normie dudebro console last gen, this gen Ps4 is simultaneously the dudebro console and the weeb machine. Xbox is just nothing, except Halo fans who mostly hate modern Halo.

Plus Trophies are more rewarding than Cheevo's since a Platnium is easier to understand and easier to show off than gamerpoints.
