Yes, this is a follow up to the "Best game ever in your opinion" thread. But I just wanted everyone's opinions.
What do you think is the most overrated game of all time?
Mine would have to be The Last Of Us. The gameplay was boring and unoriginal. The characters were bland (I did not care for Ellie at all), and the story was completely predictable.

Minecraft, never played TLOU.
Edit: Also, Life is Strange. The premise is good, but the writing is horrific in many areas.
All of these for me
The Last Of Us - God, I hated this game.. I got so bored of it. The only person who I somewhat liked what Sarah, but other than that my interest was minimal. Ellie really bugged me also..
Grand Theft Auto - Grand Theft Auto's a really good game but its talked about WAY too much, its fun but I get bored after playing it for more than a few hours in a week.
Assassins Creed - Meh.
Tomb Raider - Tomb Raider is also good but Lara (new version) is bland as hell and almost like a damsel in distress imo. She's not really much of a badass and doesnt really have a unique personality.
Far Cry - Far Cry 4 is overrated in my opinion, my friends wont stop talking about it.. I played it and it was good but gaming websites seem to freaking have sex with this game.
The Walking Dead (in many aspects) - Yeah...
Sad to say I think The Walking Dead is kind of overrated, especially Season 1. I re played Season 1 last month and honestly I remembered it as a better game, it was really good but I didnt find it a whole lot better than Season 2 actually.
Agreed, I feel TLOU is way overrated. Not that it's a bad game, just way, WAY overrated.
TLOU, Heavy Rain, Uncharted, Assassins Creed.
TLOU
Man If you said underrated I could give you a huge list. But overrated I can't think of many games I played that I thought was overrated...hmm...maybe Dark Souls?
Life Is Strange.
._.
Considering the game only has like an 80 metacritic I wouldn't call it overrated....maybe underrated IMO
Its too early to really say its "overrated" but I get what you mean. A lot of people are acting like its the best story ever told in episodic gaming and whatnot. I know its their opinion so I'll respect it, but I just don't see it (yet).
I think its too early to tell.
I feel like the Walking Dead game is a bit overrated, but not a whole lot like some other games are. Skyrim is definitely overrated, I love that game but it gets a boring after some time.
I couldn't give any less of a shit for what critics give games though, I'm not saying that this game is bad, but it certainly isn't the brilliance of this generation.
It seems so "relateable" to people, but how can it not be relatable when every character covers each and every stereotype there could ever be. This game is forcing you to cringe through words like "amazeballs" and phrases like "are you cereal?"
No one on in the world talks like that. This game is not taking place on planet Earth.
Not to mention the horrible dialogue and dynamics between characters, Max is the most generic fucking protagonist I could ever come up with for this type of game - a socially awkward girl going into a new school and new opportunities and is being bullied by some rich white bitch, then discovers some fucking power conveniently to the plot in a way that she could save the entire fucking world or something...
Despite the above, I still like the game to an extent, but it certainly shouldn't get any praise in my opinion.
I talk like that.
YOU SAY AMAZEBALLS
NO WAY
Yeah, it might get better, but I don't think the writing will change.
I don't think it is, or will be (unless they change the writers.)
I want them to prove me wrong, maybe you're right.
I feel like TWD is overrated only in the stance of how "the choices matter".
They don't. We all know they don't really matter (aside from the ending of S2.)
I say pretty much use all the slang and words they use.
I think it gets more praise because its different, not because its really good.
I honestly do lol. I say hella sometimes too. (Not as much as Chloe though xD)
I'm pretty certain it gets a lot of praise because every person can relate to it in some way, no matter what, you'll find something to relate to. It's how the game is designed.
Plus, I don't really see how different it is from games like Beyond Two Souls? That game was certainly better imo..
omg when she said hella I felt like jumping out of the window.
I really don't see how, all the people I talked to by now say they never use these words and that it's crazy xD
TellTale Game's adaption of The Walking Dead. SO overrated. Never really got the hype...Clem is just...another little girl. Never really cared for anyone in the story. Way too much hype.
The fact your choices actually make a difference in the plot (Cant really go into this for good reasons)
Yes, definitely Dark Souls
backs up
i help d u
psl
I don't know, do they even matter in Life Is Strange?
What I really feel was poorly designed in this game is the ability to make a choice, see the outcome it has and then be able to go back and change it.
I mean... What? Doesn't that ruin the whole thing?
No because you dont know whats going to happen afterwards, you cant go back a couple hours or anything.
c:
Saying amazeballs is amazeballs.
yo like are you cereal>>?? that's hella amazeballs bro
btw joek
The Battlefield series.
Yes, TLOU is overrated, but, in my opinion, its one of the best games ever made.
Other games that are overrated are the GTA and COD series.
The Last of Us, Dark Souls, and the first Call of Duty.
I couldn't agree with you more on The Last of Us soooooo overrated
Super Mario Bros.
WHAT! HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF THE WALKING DEAD CLEMENTINE IS A STRONG FEMALE PROTAGONIST AND IT WON GAME OF THE YEAR!
I know xD
I'm joking to, I was attempting to be a mad Walking Dead fan.
