Majoras Mask
It basically felt like a giant fetch quest, and I bailed not long after the first dungeon.
Just wasn't my cup of tea.
Bang Bang BANGU BANGU
Persona 2 kinda sucks
Any Smash Bros.
90% of mario games.
Zelda games for the most part.
Overwatch.
The Walking dead telltale series.
Ocarina of time, and IDC what people say. I like breath of the wild more.
Over-rated games?

Well thankfully, someone gave me one.

Breath of the Wild.
Can I add Five Nights At Freddy's to the burn pile? I don't understand how a game with a worn out trope like that became so popular.
Any e-sport games. Any of them.
I feel like Dbz Xenoverse is kinda overrated.
Sam
@MoonShine
Blame the Youtubers.
Persona 5
Now I have said that nobody else can lest they wanna be called ripoffs.
Minecraft
Splatoon
Okay honestly
All first party Nintendo games
Ah, allow me to 1-Up you Kotone.

Persona as a whole. Yeah I said it.
Halo yeah hang me.
Life is Strange, Persona 5, The Witcher 3, Killzone, WipeOut, Dragon Quest 8, Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Phoenix Wright (only the first one) off the top of my head.

I more or less enjoyed all of those, but they don't deserve the praise they get imo.
While I generally don't mind the use of the word overrated, it kinda helps to give reason WHY you think something's overrated. Otherwise, it's just another way of saying, "I don't like thing".

Anyways, the big ones for me are XenoBlade and Breath of the Wild.

Xenoblade because anytime you start calling a game "the savior of JRPGS" and then proceed to shit on literally every game in the genre with "this is the first good j/rpg since FF7/ever" and garbage of that nature, you're fucking overrated. Doesn't help that, aside from the open world itself, it really doesn't do anything special in terms of story or characters (it's all standard JRPG fare) and the gameplay is just boring.

Breath of the Wild because, it's really not doing anything all that new or special. It basically just went from being "WAAAAH! another Zelda game!" to just another open world game. What little story there is is handled poorly and not all that interesting. the only good parts are the Zelda stuff and Zora's domain. After that, there's nothing. People keep going on and on about how the world is the story, but all the world is telling, is the exact same thing everyone else has told me. Ganon wrecked shit a long time ago. Hell, that's not even completely accurate considering outside of the Zora's, absolutely no one seems to be even remotely affected or even give a damn about Ganon being there.
cont.
The Divine Beasts dungeons are also crap and repetitive in every possible way. In how you get to them. In how that look, and in how you get through them. Any other game would've gotten flack for this kinda stuff, but this one gets a pass. Speaking of which, my game froze twice and I had plenty of frame drops, and for some strange reason, people write it off as not a big deal.

Basically, Jim Sterling's review covers at least most of my complaints. This is getting too long.

Also, DBZ BT3. It's one of my favorite games ever, but among DBZ game fans, it is very overrated. The biggest thing it has going for it is its "160+" roster which conveniently included transformations. The actual roster count is more like 70 something. Gameplay is fun, but admittedly not very good and everyone plays exactly the same.

Recently NetherRealms fighters too. People keep going on and on and on about them being the standard, but I don't see how. Aside from Capcom, they're not doing anything different from what every other fighting game dev has been doing for years. On top of pretty ugly animations.
I almost forgot - Uncharted series.

Boring plot, boring linear gameplay, decent-at-best characters.

These games are just fancy graphics and nicely scripted action scenes.

The same kinda applies to God of War, just replace action scenes with boss fights.
Skyrim for me as well, it felt that Oblivion was much cooler and varied.
Oooh, I got a sword that's looks nice but can't be weilded logically.
Ooh, im killing an old dragonborn for Cthulhu (that was the only thing interesting in that dlc)
Oooh I can be a vampire Hunter with 0 actual benefit or a vampire lord.
Meanwhile, in Oblivion:
FUCK YEAH MAD GOD REALM
FUCK YEAH IM A MAD GOD
FUCK YEAH CRUSADES
FUCK YEAH IM JESUS
Oh, yeah. Uncharted is nice, controls are okay. But it's not that much because it feels bland....

Y'know what game I fucking hate?
Destiny.
Fucking.....destiny.

I need a separate thread for this
Last of Us I guess.
Goodish story does not excuse meh gameplay tbh.
At least not when the gameplay bogs it down so much
EVERY GAME EVER...everything is overrated.
Call of Duty. The whole series. Its the same whatever FPS game every time, but people still love and buy it. Every time.
So true Gama
Any Mario game, final fantasy 7, and dragonball xenoverse
