What are some of the most overrated games/franchises? Not ones that are necessarily bad, but ones that receive far too much praise
>>724179732Dark Souls
>>724179732Assassins CreedThe Witcher 2-3RE7-8REmake 2-4Elden RingGod Of War 2018Doom 2016 - Dark AgesSilent Hill 2: Remake + FFFXII - XVI
>>724179732You ever think about how FFX must've been massively influenced by the visuals of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace?
Earthworm Jim and Donkey Kong Country
Both the Xenoblade and Persona franchises

>>724182257>>724182257>SMT>DKI cant disagree more.
>>724179732Definitely final fantasy.
>>724179732all the ones v loves, it doesn't help that more than half of them are praised purely due to contrarianism
>>724179732>OverratedGhost of TsushimaRed Dead Redemption 2Expedition 33>UnderratedFinal Fantasy franchise
>>724179907People unironically will claim that FF was never inspired by star wars when the very first game starts with "go rescue our princess kidnapped by this evil faceless armored guy"I think it's more pertinent to think about how the downfall of SW parallels FF becoming a masturbatory clusterfuck
>>724179820>FFXII-XVIBut I thought everyone agreed these were mid as fuck?
Imagine caring about things being "overrated">YES it's good.... but.... people like it TOO MUCH!
>>724179820>FFXII - XVIliterally by who, all I ever see is people shitting on those except maybe XIV which has its own cult
>>724182257When has Sonic ever received praise
y'all don't know what under and overated mean
>>724179732Metroid.Also Samus is by far the most overrated video game character of all time.
>>724179732You posted it. Final fantasy is the same game 15x over.
>>724184447less than half of gamers play metroidvania types and even less than that played metroid. Samus herself is less known about than the title of her games, youre either a salty fag from smash bros or your favorite waifu lost a poll to Samus.
>>724179732>MGS>Sonic>Halo>Kingdom Hearts>DMCI think those are the most overrated franchises.I can see final fantasy being up there as well, FF fans certainly think the series is a bigger deal than it actually is. I'm not sure if Dark Souls really is that overrated, maybe a little.For specific games I'd say>Age of Mythology>Secret of Evermore>Baldur's Gate 3 Still fine games, but really don't hold up to what people are saying about them.
>>724179907shit loads of FF is star wars coded 12 is worse
>>724185419There are many valid criticisms to be made of the franchise, but that isn't one of them. Final Fantasy reinvents itself all the time.
>>724179732The biggest one is Mega Man.If we're talking the ratio of good games : bad ones, it's mega man, because there's maybe 1 or 2 7/10 games in the entire series (mega man 2 and mega man x), and the rest are filler. There's like 140 games in the fucking series and once you've played one, you've played them all coz they literally just copy/paste the AI boss code and the levels have no thought put into them whatsoever.
>>724185419>the same game 15x over.The problem with FF is the opposite. They reinvent the wheel and make an entirely different game every single time.Jesus man, have you even played any or been present in any discussion about them over the last 20 years?
