I'd say any of these newer gen 1st shooters are over rated. They get so much popularity for doing the same thing over and over again.
2nd is that I think Skyrim is over rated.
I love Elder Scrolls games and I like Skyrim too but I feel like Morrowind was a better game.

Off the top of my head, a game I think is overrated is Tetris. I don't necessarily hate the game, but for it to be called one of the greatest games of all time is a bit far. It's basically a puzzle game to waste time, much like the mobile game of today.
 
Another game that feels extremely overrated to me is Sonic CD. Again, I don't hate the game in question, but the sense of speed is significantly lowered in comparison to the Genesis trilogy. The process of hunting for the generators to earn the good future seems like backtracking and I really can't stand having to replay a level I just went through(this is why I am not too much of a fan of Metroid) and I would much rather have to go through the special stages for the Time Stones than backtrack. Portions of Tidal Tempest, portions of Metallic Madness and the entirety of Wacky Workbench really bug me, plus there is really not that much I would really want to replay, with the exception of Palmtree Panic, the first 2 acts of Collision Chaos, and the boss fight of Stardust Speedway. The bosses of this game are also incredibly easy with the exception of Metal Sonic. While I won't hate you for liking this game, it is just something that I would rather pass on givent he choice(though that would depend on what the second choice was)

I think the most overrated game series is Halo, I was never into it. I can understand the appeal to some extent. But I never got into it. I played the demo of it back before the original came out and thought it was ok. But once it came out, I didn't see why it was so acclaimed.

Basically any FPS games, but the new Pokémon games seem to be overrated.  They don't have as much creativity with the Pokémon, and the game itself stays the same. I still love them, but it's overrated, at least over the past few years. I also found Zelda Ocarina of Time to be overrated, also. It's fun, but people always said that it was the best game ever, with second place being miles behind, when I enjoyed other N64 games just as much, or more that Oot.

Personally, I think the "Modern Warfare" and "Black Ops" series are way too overrated.  I really liked Call of Duty 4, but when they started making more and more of the same game I decided it was time to stop buying them.  I gave Black Ops a try and I really liked it too, but I still believe they are way too overrated.

I'd say it would be the Call of Duty series. It is complete garbage!  I am sick of the first person shooter genre taking the lead in the gamer world, and it has started to bleed it's way into the rpg genre.  Bring back the good rpg's please.

I think the Mass Effect franchise is overrated. It is a bad mixture of RPG (choosing what to do), Halo (futuristic aliens and stuff), and a general 3rd person shooter. In my opinion, its over-hyped.

 Yes I finally get to say the Call Of Duty series is VERY overrated! It's all people play, a rated M 1st person shooter with cutting and shooting at other people for survival.

I think that many of the popular games are overrated and this is not to say they aren't any good, but any game that's played simply for its popularity means that's it's overrated.

For every CoD or Mario, there's five excellent games that pass under the radar simply for the fact that it's not widely advertised or isn't made by a huge corporation.

I'm not sure if I have said this... BUT I LOVE THE FINAL FANTASY SERIES... 

though there is one game that I don't like at all that a lot of people seem to like.. 

that game is Final Fantasy 8.... I just don't like anything about it....

The story and characters bore me... 
The game play in my opinion takes a step back from 7 and becomes tedious..

and the graphics were great for the time but they haven't aged well at all...

And before you say it's because I love FF7... it's not... 

FF12 is actually my favourite

I can think of two Games/series right off the top of my head.

Pokemon and Minecraft.

Sure both are VERY popular and have a huge following. Both are decent games. (I'm not trying to spread hate) I just don't understand why people go so crazy for them. Both are pretty bland at the base of what they are. Sure you can build some great stuff in Minecraft if you are willing to mine crap for MONTHS but the core of the game is mining and building. Get's boring in about 10 mins for me.

As far as pokemon goes I think I have let my voice be heard regarding that. Decent game, just the most bare bones and simplified JRPG's on the planet.

I have to say that I think the Assassin's Creed games fall into that category for me. I mean, they're fun and sure, they got some new stuff, but they're really plodding sometimes with all the stupid missions and killing people in interesting ways only is fun for like, the first four times you do it. After that you're all meh.

thudricdholee :

I've never actually gotten around to playing one myself yet, but my brother was playing one recently and he couldn't stop saying basically the same thing. All he could do while he played is ask me why the games were so popular.

soxfan849 : because killing people in a video game is fun apparently... I have the same problem with the assassins creed series... It bores me to no end... 

I don't see what's so great about a game when the fighting system is basically... MASH THE COUNTER BUTTON

In before I get mauled by fan-boys...Kingdom Hearts....(the whole series).
.......................................................................
Yup I went there, Now not that I don't like the series, I think the story line is extremely confusing if you haven't played every single game,
And considering the newest one, Kingdom Hearts, Dream Drop Distance, felt more like fan service than anything else, why is the series so overly praised?

Now the thing is, the game style is not particularly new, (for the older games anyway).
The whole back story of the x-blade and the origination seems a bit out of whack.

First off, the games aren't released in chronological order,

Kingdom Hearts series chronology; (remakes are used instead of the original games)
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Kingdom Hearts II
Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance
Kingdom Hearts III

The release order:
Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts II
Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days
Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep
Kingdom Hearts Re:coded
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

One good thing they did in there fan service game Dream Drop Distance, was they put in a codex, which explained a lot of things...
Including back stories for most characters.

However one thing I must say is the multi-universe style game play is extremely good with many interesting cross-overs albeit mostly from Disney. One thing though, when it comes to finally fantasy.... biased.... only very popular characters such as Sephiroth, Cloud and Squall appear in the series (AKA FAN SERVICE)....

just sayin'...

iN008 : I never understood why Squall is like so much... I mean I never found anything about his character appealing.... Obviously people read into stories and personalities in different ways. So I'm not insulting all Squall fan boys... I was just wondering what makes him a popular character.... 

Personally one of my favourite Final Fantasy characters of all time was Red XIII (nanaki if you want to use his actual name)...  He may not have been in the spotlight much but what story he did have was pretty awesome... and let's not forget the walking like a human scene

But yes games that have multiple sequels seem to rely more on fan service to sell their game..

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.

Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music.  This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees.  If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.

We prioritize the community over the site profits.  This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness.  We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
