  • When I used to watch the show he was my favorite character, but I've always seen more people that hate him than love him. I also don't go on any social media other than this so I miss out on most of these trends, purposely. Most people I know that have watched the show always hated him because he wasn't in the comic, and those people also hate the show because it isn't a replica of the comics.

    Behold the true definition of overrated.

    I'd consider something to be overrated when it gets praise that's disproportionate to the product itself. The quality of the product isn't the concern, it's the recognition and praise that it gets that's the concern. Anything can fit the definition of overrated: it can be something that's still really good in it's own right (TLoU), something that's average at best (CoD, namely the Treyarch ones which are alright), or something that's pretty bad or really not that much up to par (having trouble thinking of a good example for this one)

    I used this analogy before, and I think it still applies: overrated is like having a crowd of people give a standing ovation for something, but then they continue clapping and cheering for a full 30 minutes afterwards, and you're like "okay, we get it"

    An overrated good game is like a renowned athlete completing a race and getting the 30 minute ovation

    An overrated average game is like having an out-of-shape guy make it halfway around the track and everyone cheers anyways

    An overrated bad game is like having a guy fall unconscious and shit himself, then everyone still cheers for some ungodly reason

  • The feels.

  • Yeah, I know there are so many worse games which are overrated. TLOU is one of them. You can't deny it. Don't be a blind fanboy.

    Really? I think the lore is overrated (please don't rip out your eyeballs). It's interesting and creative, you want to know what happened, w

  • For unanswered questions? Who's he purple guy? Is there more than one killer? Who did the bite of '87? Who was the victim? (Personally I believe it wasn't just some kid, but maybe Jeremy?) What else happened at Fredbear's family diner and the first pizzeria? The questions are there. Fans do want answers.

    Well I do think lore is somewhat original but it is getting tiring. Like come on a fourth game? Third one ended in a good note. WHY EVEN NEED A FOURTH ONE!

  • I myself aren't a big fan of Kenny, but I can see why he's popular.

    Hey now, a Jane fan is quite a rarity on these forums. She's been demonized as a bitter grotesque monster, so any fans that aren't fans of Kenny Dick 'N' Balls are ok in my opinion.

  • Personally I find this thread overrated.

  • Btw, right now I'm playing 999 (Nine Doors, Nine Persons, Nine Hours). It's kind of like a VN, where even bad ends give you little pieces of information which put the puzzle together towards the real end. Basically, nine people are kidnapped and put on a boat, and have to play a game. They have braclets on their arms which are linked to a bomb inside them. If they disobey any of the rules, the bomb goes off. Puzzles and backstabbing ensue.

    Honestly, I think there is a lot lacking in terms of gameplay - namely, there are no non-terminal bad ends. There are three or four real choices in the game and that's just what door you go through... Full disclosure, there is no, 'gee I trusted this person and they stabbed me.' But as you play you find out there is more than you intitally though, and only through trying different things do you get bits and pieces here and there. If you like the 'ambiguous lore' type thing, you might enjoy it.

    Maybe it's just me, but I love murder stories and all that jazz.

  • Answering them himself completely destroys the point of figuring it all out yourself. You play the game to get answers to create lore, not have the creator just dish out the answers. And besides, it wouldn't be more complex for the questions to be answered.

  • I'll look more into it. Thanks.

  • Something can be awesome, yet overrated.

    Game of Thrones for example, I really like the show, but people are overrating that show like crazy. Also applicable to TWD, Breaking Bad and many other great things. And yes, I think TLOU is overrated, good game but still overrated.

    The Last of Us?? Overrated??? You know, I actually liked you.

  • It's not overrated if it has a proper reason for it to be praised like that. That's not called overrated, that's called "well-known."

    Overrated always means: My Opinion > Your Opinion End of story.

  • Not really it gets more hyped up than any other game ever and I can't really see why

  • Well that's too bad. Fans are fans. If they like a game, it's fine for them to talk about how much they love it. Do you not talk about TWD or GoT or TFBL?

  • Considering how many children play games and use the internet these days, I wouldn't be surprised. By millions of fans, I'm disregarding the quarter of them being children. Who knows how the heck they even found the game... And the furry porn is the worst.

  • I think overrated means something that is popular but it's not worthy of getting the praise it deserves.

  • The gameplay is alright in my opinion. But I'm a sucker for jumpscares, so yeah.

    And yes, omg the fanbase makes me want to rip my eyes out. I hate how people think Rebornica's AU/theory is canon. And let's not forget the little kids in the fandom, making goddamn Youtube names of the animatronics or "Vincent."
