Halo. I still don't get the fuss.
Most overrated video/computer game ever?
- Thread starter Peanut Butter
- Start date
Gears of War.
Have a feeling I'll say Last of Us by the time I'm done. Hasn't lived up to the hype, halfway through.
Witcher 3 (lolzy)

How about a franchise?
Call of Duty.
And I say this as a once massive COD fan.
But in reality, half of the titles since COD 4 have been arguably complete garbage.

I thought GTA San Andreas was a big let down.
GTA IV
How dare you?
Every Fifa game since 98
Sorry, it's the GTA I played least. 3 was revolutionary, Vice City was great. The map size was cool on S.A. but they did nothing with the gameplay.
This! So this.
I don't think anyone overrates FIFA. It's pretty universally accepted that it's a bit crap. Loads of people buy it though every year because PES multiplayer and lack of stuff is underwhelming.
Is that because you think the story/worldbuilding/characters are overrated though?
The metal gear series for me
I only enjoyed part 1.
Felt 2 was average, 3 a poor game (only played about 1/3rd of it) , 4 was pretty dire and couldn't get into 5

The way every other post on Reddit's gaming section is about Witcher 3 baffles me.
The combat, the floaty way Geralt feels when he runs or fights, the shit boss fights, the hundreds of samey quests, I could go on and on. It's a decent game but hugely overrated by many.
Never really read that Witcher's gameplay is amazing though, only that it's good for an open world ARPG.
Metal Gear Solid. GTA IV.
MGS had a massive impact on gaming, though, and was pretty revolutionary at the time, I wouldn't say you could call it overrated.
MGS2 and MGS4 definitely were, though!
Mario kart.
It's a fecking cartoonish top gear

Halo is trash
But i would have to go with the Uncharted series. They're good games, but nowhere near the hype that they generate.

Halo, closely followed by Gears of War.
GTA IV. Niko and Jacob were cool, but the rest of the cast was dull or forgettable, the missions were by the numbers and the handling of the cars was really heavy. Also dating, bowling, darts, drinking and all that jazz close to ruined the game. Worst game in the series by a mile.
Also, shouts out to Halo for being an average shooter that got bigged up for no other reason than being an Xbox exclusive, and Zelda Skyward Sword for being the most tired & formulaic entry in the series' history and yet pulling universal 10/10 scores.

Oh shit, it's actually Breath of the Wild. No story, repetitive as shit, and a huge empty open world. Yet it garnered perfect scores across the board.
Destiny.
Any new Zelda/Mario release.

Final fantasy 7. I absolutely love the game but it does get way over hyped as the best ever game by some.
I'll go on and say Fallout 4. Didn't like it much even though I love the RPG genre and spent a month to complete Witcher 3, I couldn't get myself to complete Fallout 4 story. The game was more about shooting than RPG elements and the shooting wasn't even that interesting. The exploration was good, though, but I felt it gets more credit than what it deserves when I played.
Good call. Uncharted games are massively overrated.
What in particular do you not like about Halo?
I'm not massive on the single player, however, it's one of the best first person shooters around (Halo 1 - Halo 3)
In my opinion, Fallout 4 was horrible.
Nowadays, I don't get the hype around Call of Duty. Its now where near as good as it was 6 or 7 years ago.

I just find it bland and tedious. Maybe if I had played it when it first came out I'd think differently.
With certain games, my opinion on them is affected by nostalgia. In Halo's case, I remember playing it after school at my friends around 8 or 9 years ago. I have some great memories and, as FPS' go, it was almost flawless. Balanced, quick paced, variety in weapons, well constructed maps and nice visuals. I agree with the last point, what Halo games have you played?
Halo. It's dog shit.
One, two and three. I bought five but never got around to playing it.
Single player only, by the way. Never played online.
Halo 1 still stands as a defining game of it's genre, no way that can be over rated. The others since though, yeah I completely agree.
The likes of Witcher 3 and Last of Us are also games I find people really do over praise, since the former has just so much that is mediocre at best, and the latter has gameplay that is ok and nothing more. However the sum of those games really are masterpieces so I totally get why they are so highly rated.
feck off with Mario Kart though

How the feck is Breath of the Wild repetitive?
The only limits in that game are your own imagination, people are still to this day finding new shit to do 100s of hours later!

I liked this post up until you said the every Halo bar the first is over rated. Halo 2 and 3 were awesome! In fact, I like them more than 1.
Oh great, it's another combat shrine.How the feck is Breath of the Wild repetitive?

How is it NOT repetitive?
