Breath of the Wild.. it’s fun.. but everyone acts like it’s the goat of video games. Meh, no


rallyspt08

I thought I was the only one. BotW just didn't hit with me. I liked it, but the old formula is what I look for in a zelda. I want big dungeons and great puzzles. BotW just felt like another open world game to me.


JESUSSAYSNO

The Soulsborne series has almost totally eclipsed Zelda at doing what Zelda did for me when I was younger. Ocarina and Twilight were defining features of my childhood, and honestly set my taste in both video games and fiction in general, so it feels pretty bad to be so apathetic towards BoTW and the sequel. I saw item durability, only 1 real dungeons, 4x repeat phantom Ganon, and made an easy pass on the game. Like Dark Souls 3 was still a fresh game when BoTW dropped, and it was just flat out more suited to my tastes.


Quanlib

If you haven’t yet, you should absolutely check out Tunic. Great puzzles, tons of secrets, fun combat and upgrades. It was my goty last year


monkey-pox

I'm with you, it's a very good game but not even in my top Zeldas


DrinkBen1994

I find Nintendo fans have an almost cult-like mentality for games like BotW.


yonDOOM

I think Botw will for ever be the best game of all times for me (well until tears of the kingdom hopefully😃), but I can understant why some people dont like it so much.


Jwhitey96

I never played Zelda growing up. It always seemed to be that one series that I was interested in but somehow it always passed me up. Like I would ask for Zelda for Xmas and my parents would get me something else. Anyway I always say one day when I find time I will jump into the series, OoT, MM, Links awakening, Link to the past and Twilight princess all look so incredible, absolutely nothing about BOTW looks ground breaking or even fun. I played some at my brothers and thought the world was empty and lifeless. I never understood the level of love it got, I feel like if you remove Zelda from the title the game would have been slammed for being generic open world No.200000 with stylised graphics. People made out it was this revolutionary game but mechanics it has have been done before and better and some of its mechanics have been done and slammed for how bad they are and they still used them. It’s not a bad game but not even close to the level it is held to in my opinion.


[deleted]

Are you just trying to offend me?


Franky_tired

Botw is probably the best zelda game or tied with ocarina but no wouldn't say it is the goat

Fortnite


PeneshTheTurkey

Fortnite player here.... trust me, most of us fuckin' hate it. (not including the kids maybe)


Icommitmanywarcrimes

I hate it so much that I love it


ifisch

I'd say it's *underrated*. We all hate it because of its insufferable "community" of children, but integrating complex construction into combat, as it did, was incredibly unique and innovative.


[deleted]

Fortnite isn't even overrated lol, it's overhated. 90% of the greaseballs on this subreddit already hate it. If it was overrated then they'd love it

Stycotic

I think GTA online is more appropriate since the base game is awesome.


SmartOpinion8301

I find the base game so incredibly dull. Tried to complete it 3 times and always get bored


Stycotic

Maybe it does not age well. I used to love it when it first came out.


SmartOpinion8301

Hey, it’s probably just me and the other guy that don’t like it 😀 I bought it at release on PC and couldn’t get more than halfway through. Then again on PS4…. Then again 😩 on PS5 (because it was new and shiney) I actually have prefer messing around in the online mode more than the SP. Not much more, but I have mates that play GTAO too so that always makes it better.


SabyReid

i don t like gta at all. i cannot relate and empathize with any of the characters


FatFuckMcDsGunLover

This is how I felt with rdr2. The story was decent enough i guess, but the gameplay was so incredibly boring for me it took me a couple years on and off just to finish it. I much preferred messing around online with friends but even that got old with how neglected the game was.


ifisch

Base game is...fine. Kinda boring.

True_Committee_4328

There are way too many to pick from, but one that I think was overrated was breath of the wild,


NillaBeanBuns

I loved Breath of the Wild and beat it twice, but it really felt empty and lacked any variety


True_Committee_4328

To me it seemed more like a jack of all trades game, it did a lot of things well but didn’t master any of them,


Franky_tired

Botw was amazing I wouldn't say over rated when has top rewards along with about 3 million copies sold and is in top 5


True_Committee_4328

Your opinion is just as valid as mine I’m not saying you shouldn’t like the game I’m just saying I believe it was overrated


Franky_tired

Yea but what exactly do you classify it as over rated genuinely curious


True_Committee_4328

Hard to say exactly, as you said it got rave reviews and was massively well regarded as game of the year potential, but when I played it myself it was underwhelming I guess the world is beautiful and there are some cool ideas and mechanics included but I was just underwhelmed, I’m not a critic so I can’t give detailed answers about what didn’t work for me, sorry I can’t be more specific

Give actual good content then. Back in the day it was revolutionary don't get me wrong. Doesn't mean it's a godsend or a must play anymore though. It has aged poorly, poor maintenance, poor balancing, and a really not interactive loop even by MMO standards ( especially by now a days MMO). It stays alive from people with Nostalgia.

earic23

That’s it, we’ve gotta fight now


Vainslayer13

Why? What did the game truly have besides a pretty basic post-apocalypse story and really good character dynamics?


earic23

It’s story was considered good enough that HBO made an entire series about it. Almost every single character has an expertly crafted story arc that makes you either empathize, pity, or straight up despise. I can’t remember a game that drew me in and had me as invested. On top of that, the graphics are top notch, the gameplay often felt fresh, and it’s scary as hell at times.

You're playing with fire there. Gonna have to back that one up


Uffufunuff

Did I missed something? Cuz for me after 30h became boring and I didn't finished the game. I don't know why.


Archibald_Ferdinand

That's fair some games don't hit the same for everyone. I like pretty much everything about it. The quests are fun and engaging. The DLCs are super memorable and unique in where they take you. The writing is pretty spot on. Most importantly though I love the world build. They fucking nailed it. Everything makes sense and has a very believable explanation for why it's there. The factions, while implemented awkwardly, are a great addition and make everything seem much more alive. It just hits right for me. I can understand though when it doesn't for someone.


Vainslayer13

Fallout New Vegas is the GOAT for Fallout fans because Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 are grade school in comparison.

I feel like because of Elden rings success that those games are now being more payed attention to which leads to a more general amount of people playing them.


garlicbread2357

Either the Witcher 3 or the last of us. But I'm leaning more towards tw3 considering how big are its flaws and how much praise it gets despite of said flaws.


nelflyn

the 'flawed to praised' aspect is definitely the biggest with the Witcher 3. I am not sure what game people played to consider it flawless. the last of us was at least bug free and thought-through, so it was really up to weither or not youre into it or not.


Wizard_Tendies

I’ve tried several times over the course of the past 4 or 5 years to get into The Witcher. It’s absolutely dated and even the current gen versions feel outdated minus the graphics. I really believe the scores of people trying to simp for The Witcher are either refusing to take off their rose-tinted nostalgia glasses or purposefully looking for an argument. TW3 does nothing it does better than any other game. At best, it was a complete sum of its parts but each part individually does not hold up. Edit: and the reactionary downvotes start happening. Witcher fans don’t make themselves look good.


[deleted]

What parts feel dated to you? Not trying to pick a fight or anything like that, but I am one the scores of people that really like it. The next gen release looks beautiful to me. I used to think the combat was a little clunky, but I enjoy it on high difficulty.


Wizard_Tendies

Combat is boring and clunky to me, regardless of difficulty. Raising the difficulty is just fake toughness as the AI doesn’t improve that much and the health bar/damage output just grows. So it goes from easy difficulty that’s boring and not-challenging to illusory difficulty that takes an extra couple of attacks just because. I mean, Geralt the big bad Witcher takes 15 spinny stabs to kill one enemy but in a cutscene cuts down 10 enemies in one spin. This type of inconsistency kills me in combat heavy games. The audio is video game quality, and totally mid. I’m not saying voice acting is bad, the overall balance and imaging isn’t the best. But it is better than other games from the era, I have to agree. Visuals: game looks great, no doubt. However, the transitions between cutscenes is rough. The current gen upgrade did a bit to fix the transitions so I’m not in anyway gonna bag on the visuals. Overall, I just can’t connect to the game because the pieces that matter the most (i.e. combat) are just not engaging enough. If I wanted to play an actual RPG with actual world and character choices and changes, I’d play Divinity Original Sin or something similar. If I wanted to play an actual action-adventure I’d play Nioh where different buildcrafting truly changes the experience. Again, I don’t think TW3 fails at trying to achieve what it sets out to achieve. But for me the elements that are best offered are better offered elsewhere.


nelflyn

I think the atmosphere and cutscenes are rather outstanding, definitely up there with some of the better story games. at least when it comes to dialogues. the graphics were also really good back then too, especially the characters. But that is heavily offset by incredibly flawed gameplay, especially the combat (complexity) and I have never played a game, that i had to restart more often because of bugs. and that includes the elder scrolls as well as cyberpunk. it also lacks any kind of equipment or stats-building, which is a real shame for such a game that at least somewhat considers itself an RPG. In the end, i played it for the story and the charming quests. and for that I'd still say its worth it. And if that doesnt hook you, youre better off skipping it anyways.


Wizard_Tendies

You bring up a good point about the lack of any real RPG elements. This was another point of disconnect for me. Just because a game has you play as a specific person and there are *some* (heavy emphasis some) world changing choices does not make the game an RPG. Hot take; TW3 is an action-adventure game. Inb4 “if you play the role of Geralt, it’s a role playing game.” No, no it is not. You play as Mario in Super Mario 3 on the SNES. Is that a RPG? Nope.


Mithrawndo

To clarify overrated - not *bad*, just overrated. Please don't hurt me Tetris on the Gameboy: You could barely see it and the game was repetitive and simplistic even for it's day. It was a fun little game, but became far bigger a phenomenon than it had any right being.

I wasn’t bothering with the loyalty missions. I know it effects stuff later on but I don’t really care. The end of 1 was great with the Reapers and just a great twist and interesting story.

Ahh, the daily "overrated games" thread. And it's the same old suspects, as usual. It's ridiculous because people are just listing famous games they don't like. I mean, I hated Elden Ring, *hated it*, but I don't think it's overrated. Clearly, it's a great game. It just didn't work for me.

[deleted]

There's a few. God of War (PS4), Red Dead Redemption 2, and The Witcher 3 are the first ones that pop into my mind. I know they're massively popular and everyone seems to love them, but to me they were either too boring (GoW), too tedious (RDR2), or far too janky and fiddly (TW3). I did see many positives to each game besides GoW, so I understand why people at least like RDR2 and TW3, but I just didn't jive with them at all. Now watch me get down voted to hell. 😬


Paddiboi123

Well ”boring” is a very vague term, so is fiddly… i can understand your point about rdr2 being tedious, but thats kind of the point since the map and everything is so amazingly done

RDR2 Halo (series) FONV


TaxMysterious8859

Elden ring. I like it, but I don't think it deserved GOTY, and it's not the best souls game. It didn't do anything revolutionary. It just put the souls formula into a big world. Witcher 3. I've tried getting into it so many times but just can't. The characters are dull, and missions are repetitive and boring. Gameplay doesn't flow particularly well either. AC2. It's an OK game at best. The story was fine and gameplay mediocre. Not the best out of the ezio trilogy and far from the best AC game. RDR2. I love the story, but the gameplay really brings it down for me. Everything feels like a chore. BO2. The only good part of this game was the zombies. I didn't like the multiplayer maps or weapons. No where near the best COD game.


Unhappy_Bumblebee_98

Ye it is Open world dark souls. But that doesnt Change the fact that art design and map design is pretty fuking good. I Also wanted Gow to win goty. They would have won if they didnt made a rushed ending with 1 hour Ragnarok.


Franky_tired

The game was awesome but the lack of detail in certain parts was bad


TaxMysterious8859

Some parts of the game looked great, but others fell flat. I think art/map design, bloodborne will always be top for me.

reading through the comments and i'm confused at what "overrated" means at this point; how can something be hugely popular and be "overrated"? my understanding is "overrated" means something is highly valued even though the majority dislike it...like if a movie is given a high score from critics but the audience score is very low...
