Overrated games.

I recently started playing Undertale and it does have flaws. The start is kind of bland and slow, for instance. I still have trouble calling indie games overrated, however. The original Five Nights is the closest to being called that for me. I like both games, but I can see how others would see the hype and assume they are overrated. 

Just curious- how are SMB3, SA2 and the Mother series overrated? i know it doesn't mean hating the game, mind you, and I'm not saying it's not overrated OR underrated, just genuinely curious.

If there are a few I'd consider overrated, it'd be;
-UnderTale (i love the game, mind you, but the amount of attention it gets in comparison to lesser-known/possibly actually underrated indie games feels a bit unfair. As an indie dev myself i feel it especially. constantly comparing myself to UT and all that)
-Minecraft (i genuinely don't enjoy it; I used to hate it and its fanbase but not so much, but to be fair, the hate might come from the fact that I had friends that considered the game more important than talking to me etc... but apart from that bias, I genuinely don't enjoy how it plays, how "flat" its graphics look without some sort of modded texture pack or shaders, its building mechanics and combat are extremely boring to me (fighting enemies is just a matter of button mashing & having a strong weapon), and for some reason I just can't enjoy the game. At all. And believe me, I tried, but i just couldn't. No hate to anyone who enjoys the game though- except if they start bossing me around and telling me to play it like some of those kids in high-school and the aforementioned friends used to do. Phew, that's a mouthful, pardon me)
-Five Nights At Freddy's (this one is biased, I admit, cause I never played it but i just genuinely can't understand its popularity when it came out. Also the dev being misleading in making games AFTER the supposed "The Final Chapter" game if I remember right)
-Super Smash Bros. franchise IN GENERAL (not that the games are bad or anything, but... Idk. it gets a lot of popularity and all, and I admit the fact it mainly excludes indies such as Shovel Knight, Shantae and Quote which fans wanted A LOT and to me the Ballot felt rigged (it may be, or it maybe not, it just felt weird how Bayonetta won and coincidentally Bayonetta 2 was on the Wii U, it feels like a marketing move to me) i admit those things darkened my opinion of the franchise)
-Pokémon Sun and Moon (i admit it's not out yet, so I'd call it overhyped, but i don't quite understand the hype it gets)
-Generation 1 Pokémon games (just putting this in here too. I find the hype Sun and Moon gets a bit overdone but I think Gen1 is overrated as well. i'm not a GenOner/GenWunner/GenWhateverer)

I don't think there's a multiquote function here, though I could be wrong. Annoying, though.



None of those three are really viable Smash candidates and probably not as popular as Bayonetta. "I don't like the results so I think they're rigged and they just want to promote Bayonetta 2" sounds a lot like motivated reasoning to me. Not to mention, they already got Corrin for a promo character. Nintendo already had some dabbling in Bayonetta, so I think Bayonetta is actually more qualified than Cloud in terms of Nintendo involvement. Super Smash Bros. is a fantastic franchise; it's hard for me to see any real flaws aside from balancing problems (mainly, what the developers do to their characters) and maybe some weird haphazard changes like addition of blast KOs on the upper blast line and not letting 8-player Smash in every stage.

Most Overated Games... ALL OF THE 3D ZELDA GAMES>_< Besides Wind Waker and Majora's Mask all of the 3D Zelda games in my eyes are very boring, and just don't hold my attention for long enough for me to care about them.

I liked the topic like this. Thank you for sharing
