People were saying some crazy stuff in this 2010-15 era of games, anything with cute/fun graphics was getting praised as an all timer lol

Hotline Miami 2 is a masterpiece the first game is trash though

You had to be there I guess

Witcher 2: clunky combat and mechanics to basically an interactive movie.
Witcher 3: overrated, huge "open" world for no reason, exhausting to complete.
Tomb Raider: just an interactive torture porn movie for new Lara
Batman Arkham origins: angry not-Kevin Conroy meets not-Mark Hamill to fight the worst roster of villains in all 4 games, in basically a less interesting version of Arkham City. Also the rewrite to Arkham and Harley is insulting to comic and animated series fans

No Man's Sky

It was lambasted at launch but then they released like 20 free shitty updates that didn't support the core of the game and just left like haphazardly pieced together content packs that offered nothing of value. Yet the community completely flipped because of it and started saying they had redeemed themselves.

Runescape

Was only fun as a kid when you had a vivid imagination. As an adult you begin to understand it for what it is. It's completely designed to waste your time at every moment. The community consists of drug addicts basically. It was a skinner box mobile game before mobile games.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Akin to Bethesda games, this series is really only enjoyable with mods. I've been a big Stalker fan for over 15 years but the Vanilla games are just too basic and boring. Most players don't even notice A-Life which the community loves to go on and on about. The story is great but the gameplay itself isn't interesting at all. Yes I've finished them all vanilla (with community patches).

Stardew Valley

Harvest Moon + gay fags.

Others:
Minecraft
Hollow Knight

Clunky combat is like Witcher's trademark really

>>84226155
No Man's was inevitable in a way, the way it popularized this model of releasing some pure shit that we will fix one day put me off most modern games

Stardew is perfect for what it is, a guy throwing 20 years on his ideal game. Even if it's gay you can only admire really.

Every souls game and souls-like. Hardslop fucking pisses me off and I played elden ring. They aren't trying to tell some deep interesting story, the entire point of the game is to just want to bash your head into a wall. I'm convinced the only people who like them are mentally ill masochists who would be equally as happy smashing their balls with a spiked mallet.
>>84226166
Hollow knight and silksong are well made but are very overrated. Just more hardslop that gets glazed endlessly on the sole merit of it being indie. If those games were made by Microsoft or something they'd probably be hated.

You are too low iq to be allowed to post things online

>>84226243
Didn't play silksong yet but yeah hollow knight felt like another of those games where style triumphs over substance. The bugs are super cute and the backgrounds are gorgeous but as you say when there's no story it's almost never worth the trudge

That's super metroid lolol

every MMO is crap, I dont understand how anyone can enjoy any of them
lame psudo-strategy combats
always have 1000s of mechanics and crafting that makes it impossible for new players to join
on the surface there isnt anything inheretly wrong with a game with massive multiplayer but they always copy each other

Only MMO I thought was fun was warframe, but idk if that counts
>>
>>84226449
That's always the argument because that's the only argument there is to defend them. "Git gud lol, you just suck at videogames so you can't appreciate my heckin challenging rape simulator! What do you mean it isn't fun to play the same boss fight over and over and over again? Just waste hours and hours of your life practicing and learning how to do frame perfect dodges! Then the game is fun."
>>
>>84226243
souls games are only interesting for challenge runs like no hit runs, i watch a couple twitch streamers who do that and its entertaining. ive played a couple of the souls games and the only one i liked was sekiro mostly because i absolutely hate gear autism, i have no interest spending that much time fucking around in menus with gear, and the combat in sekiro actually felt good. theyre overrated by autists mostly

/r9k/ always says this shit and then has the most consistently atrocious normalniggercattle taste in games

>>84225804
mad cuz bad
>>
>>84226527
I'm not even telling you to "git gud" I hate that faggot crowd, nor am I trying to defend the bad design decisions, there's some bullshit bosses and other crap throughout souls games but they aren't difficult games really
you're just shit, find something you actually enjoy playing

>>84226094
Witcher 2 is great, highlight of the series.

>>84225804
Minecraft was a great idea. Nowadays the open source platforms based on the Minecraft's cube world idea are thriving. And Minecraft itself is destroyed by microdicks. Minecraft is still a great idea/game. falls under 2010-2015.
p.s. minecraft is a top selling and played video game of all time.

DayZ. All you do is grief people and pointlessly scavenge shit, the engine is terrible, the slav setting is soulless. It was the next Minecraft for a while, glad it's dead.

>you're just shit, find something you actually enjoy playing
I do have games I enjoy playing. But the point of the thread is to talk about overrated games. And in my opinion the souls games are. The entire point is just to be hard bs and people act like it's the best thing since sliced bread. Somehow it's the most revolutionary game series ever for doing nothing more than being challenging death rape simulator, because that's all I ever hear talked about. I personally don't like fantasy/dark fantasy as a genre but that's a subjective thing not objective so I'm not gonna try and argue it's bad for that.

sandbox games aren't really games. I have paper, photoshop and superior software to let my imagination fly. The cubes worked because kids loved it so groomers kept it alive, like roblox
>>
>>84226849
great bait mate rate eight eight

>>84225804
Saints Row 2 because I played it without nostalgia and I can stay it doesn't compare to GTA San Andreas whatsoever
>>
>>84226094
All of those Batman games are basically braindead gamer dad slop. Same kind of slop as assassin's creed and the newer god of war games.
>>
>>84226243
"Hardslop" just admit you're brainlet trash and move on. Some people like challenges. The reddit fags that think every game needs to be some turn your brain off farm simulator need to be shot. Same as all the fags that shit themselves at games that have pvp. If you need a story go read a book.
>>
>>84226623
Yeah, you'd think a place full of recluse autists would have better taste in games but from what I see most of the fags here legit spend their time gooning, social media, shitposting here or laying on their bed not even thinking. And then you try v and it's all jarpig fags posting about some character's feet or trying to rage bait with contrarian takes.
>>
>>84226903
You don't turn your brain on with souls games at all lol, it's just a shape sorter for adults. Without story or anything actually compelling it's just press key to avoid enemy
>>
>>84226740
you're over blowing the difficulty of these games, that and the storytelling are the only things overrated about souls games
elden shit is the only souls game that I would call difficult and it's a lazy form of difficulty with some of the bullshit boss moves
one thing that I hate about souls influence on gaming is that now every other action adventure game needs to have rolling and bonfire-like checkpoints or have other features ripped off from dark souls
>>
>>84226903
It's one thing to like a legitimate challenge and it's another to go through the self torture rituals some souls fights can be. A friend of mine was obsessed with elden ring and would get stuck on some bosses for weeks. I've never heard a hardslop souls fan explain how it's actually fun to do this, just that all the hairpulling frustration is somehow worth it when you finally beat the boss and get your 10 seconds of dopamine.
>>
There's no real gamers on this board
>>
>>84225804
fallout new vegas i hate this game the graphics and shitty fps rpg gameplay made me wanna puke
the story wasn't all that good either most of the characters just did dumb shit or stumbled into situations for no real reason
>>
>>84226094
These statements are facts so true they may as well have been inscribed on stone tablets by God.
>>
>>84228005
ofc not. just incels panicking over women
