what games do you find overrated??????????????!?!?!?!?!

i played a few hours of Mario Odyssey for the first time, and I'm soooo bored. Everything feels so empty and devoid of enemies. and it's so easy, and the moons are so unsatisfying to collect due to being everywhere

It insists upon itself

Souls games

Dungeons and Dragons.

Breath of the Wild. Boring empty world.

Has there been a single AAA game in last 10 years that surpassed the bar of mediocrity?

>>43729
I liked Titanfall 2

>>43729
Baldur's Gate 3

>>43722 i insist upon your bussy stfu Disco is a phenomenal game

>>43727 i agree that it's a vit overrated, but I wouldn't say it's boring, das crazy. it's got cool shit to discover on every corner. I think the game just isn't ur vibe

>>43729 Sekiro


>>43727
This, shit was mad boring and the weapon durability system was annoying

>>43741
Never played it, never will but all the porn is nice

Half life 2
-way shittier combat compared to fear and even the original half life
-enviornmental style storytelling excuse that hides the fact that theres no real compelling or good narrative.
-enemy variety that mostly consists of guys in suits who just shoot guns at you.
-guns that lack a lot of the variety that were the half life one guns
etc etc
half life 2 was just inferior to half life one. And im suprised people simp for 2 so much

>>43745
The world it is set in and the Havok physics engine did a lot though but I also prefer half life 1, really love the military industrial complex under alien attack vibes compared to the bleakness of being a partisan in a post apocalyptic world

Nier Automata. I got all the endings and found the story and gameplay to just be ok. Music is the only thing I really like about it.

>>43720
Skyrim IV, Skyrim V and all other variants

What a garbage series

Disco elysium is overrated

>>43741WRONG
>>43742WRONG
>>43745 somewhat agree
>>43749 never played
>>43751AGREED
but people are slowly reaching the consensus that Elder Scrolls games are very sloppy. but they're fun slop anyway, and there aren't many games like them, because of how ambitious they are. so it's a guilty pleasure for me
>>43752WRONG

Zelda Breath of the Wild, Elden Ring, Animal Well, Doom Eternal, Stray, Dave the Diver, Expedition 33, Control, Alan Wake, Slay the Princess, Hades, Risk of Rain, Dead Cells.

>>43758
Srry forgot Baldurs Gate 3, Terraria, NEVA, Jusant, Golden Eye 64.

Most underrated game ever: Demolish or Die

>>43759
>Most underrated game ever
You spelled Grounded wrong

Half Life 2
Baldurs Gate 3
Deltarune/Undertale
Halo 3
Don't Starve
Every Paradox game
Disco Elysium lived up to my expectations

>>43761
all games are overrated and boring, none are good.

>i played a few hours of Mario Odyssey for the first time, and I'm soooo bored.
same, i also felt bored playing zelda botw.

>>43720
Mario Odyssey almost feels like it's just trying to be a resume filler. It looks flashy but there's extremely little substance. For all the effort put into Mario's move set the levels are too bland to remotely make use of it. And yeah the moons are everywhere but also some of them are locked behind actual challenges but there seems to be no correlation between how much you have to do to get a moon and the value of the moon itself, even though you can get some that are 3 at a time.

>>43723
More the lore and storytelling for me is overrated. The games themselves are just vagueposting and providing random bullshit for the fans to fantheory into some kind of coherent canon. If they were open about that it'd be fine but the fans are basically being scammed in that there's basically no actual story behind the games. Some other big series have the same shit too, like Zelda.

>>43741
Overrated in the sense that it's way more popular than it should be but it's still pretty good.

>>43727
Tears of the Kingdom is 10x worse but they are both massively overrated and seem to indicate that a lot of players don't care about the gameplay as long as there's a big open world to wander around in (even if there is nothing to do there)

>>43745
Half Life 1 sucked too and ushered in the trend of corridor shooters with its extremely linear levels.

>>43720
fallout new vaginas (i never played it)
>>43745
>>43764
>Half life 2
bullshit
>>43801
>Half Life 1 sucked too and ushered in the trend of corridor shooters with its extremely linear levels.
TOTAL BULLSHIT

>>43801
If only system shock was the one that got super popular instead of overrated life 2. System shock 2 had far more interesting gameplay than half life 2

>>43720
In terms of modern games that received a shitton of praise and sales and are actually relevant to the industry, it's UNQUESTIONABLY Breath of the Wild. Probably the most flawed game to ever get such praise. If I made a list of problems it would be 10 miles long. It's only become more clear given the state of the Zelda franchise now. Tears of the Kingdom showed that the Zelda team doesn't consider BotW's flaws to be flaws but essential features.

Breath of the Wild was just boring samey open world slop. I don't get why it was ever popular when Ubisoft games get rightly criticised for the same things botw is praised for.

>>43758
>>43759
from the games i've played:
>Zelda Breath of the Wild
>Golden Eye 64
>Stray
WRONG

>Elden Ring

Somewhat agree

>Doom Eternal

>Terraria

>Most underrated game ever: Demolish or Die

thank you!!!!!!!!!! 💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈💖🌈 :3

Almost every Zelder game.

>>43812
>terria
>overrated
you sir have shit tastes

>>43807
First, the novelty of being a zelda game and atmosphere. Second, the story quests and shrine locations do a pretty good job of leading you through the most interesting areas. The worst time i had was after finishing the divine beast quests, the only noteworthy things i ever encountered just by exploring were the labyrinths, the dragons and that magical horse. At that point i was also getting sick of the durability system, so i didn't even finish the game.

>>43816
>magical horse
Or a deer or a bunny, i don't even remember.

>>43816
You don't get any useful shit for fighting in the last two Zelda games. There are armor sets, but the upgrades are so expensive I just picked one and only used a few others situationally, like the frog suit that allows you to stick to walls when it rains.

>>43819
You're right, but the clothing system itself was a step in the right direction. I barely upgraded any sets, so i often switched out armor parts to get the buffs or just to play dressup. You defeat a lynel or hynox in any "armor" if you know how to play, amirite? Seriously though most attack patterns were ridiculously easy to and i didn't even do food spam.

>>43821
I liked the British accents, it was refreshing to hear something other than us english. Besides that meh

>>43741
Emotional Manipulation the videogame, same with Spec ops: the line.
Also Nier Automata and all of Yoko Taro's games in general for being pseudo-intellectual crap for video soyessayists.

>>43820
Yes, it's not a difficult game.

>>43812
Stray SUCKED. There was not a worse game I have ever played than that SHIT game which was only liked because Cat meow :3. But the gameplay is NOTHING, the story is NOTHING, the world is NOTHING, all ithas is cat nyaaa and ebin cyberpunk asian city night city art

>>43807
Havent played Zelda, but what you describe make me think of Witcher 3. An offensively mediocre game being launded as one of the best RPGs ever.

>>43720
Ocarina of Time was a more bloated version of A Link to the Past, but it looks like a masterpiece of efficiency next to the sequels where it takes 30 minutes to get through the tutorial sections.

>>43823
the neutral run of undertale is pretty good i think, it tried and succeeded at doing creepypasta shit. the good and bad endings are absolute dogshit though

>>43825
I cried at the end tho

>>43830
You also cried when pikachu died in pokemnon so…

Every time i see a half life fag simp for half life combat, I look at them and think, motherfucker have you played F.e.a.r
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IwORgX6Bs8
look at this and compare it to half life 2 combat. Half life 2 gunplay is shit compared to this

>>43826
Witcher 3 at least has fun characters, good writing and gwent. Also very atmospheric locations. As far as gameplay goes, it's not amazing, but it's a solid game.

>>43729
Death stranding

>>43720
Space Marine 2 for sure

>>43834
Boring ass walking sim.

Hollow Knight is shit. Just play literally any other metroid-like/igavania.
