not a game but a series - Pokemon.

they have the most basic turn-based combat mechanics, and sequels, at best, have very minor improvements.

Way too much waiting. Fights bowl down to wait and attack, wait and attack. Navi wont shut the hell up too.

game is such a massive downgrade from A Link to the Past in every way.

Nowadays, I only really like the mainstream Pokemon games when I play them uniquely; stuff like Nuzlockes and especially solo challenges.

Otherwise, I stick to Showdown. Fuck grinding and EV training anyway.

I still think it's subjective, but even at release, I thought OoT was just okay. Exploration has always been my favorite part about Zelda games, and it comes up so short on that

It is, but I also suspect most people either use it flippantly or neutrally. I've seen a few straggler trolls who are hostile with it, but in general, I actually think most folks overreact to the word. You didn't, though. :)

There's your unsolicited opinion for the day. ;)

Although it has received more than its fair share of criticism, Majora's Mask is honestly kinda overrated... and yes, a game can still be good and overrated at the same time.

RE4 is certainly up there. The praise the game gets is fucking stupid.

However, the most overrated game of all time is Xenogears. The game, for the most part, is awful and yet you'll see tons and tons of people claiming it's the best game, best rpg, best everything of all time. I have never seen a game so defended for being a rushed incomplete game.

I get why casual players still like it, but if you're like me and understand all the technical nuances of the game because you're a challenge nerd, you just begin to see the game as inherently flawed. Like the badge boost glitch, the 1/256 miss glitch, Ghost not working against Psychic Pokemon, the lack of Bug moves to actually counter Psychic, etc...

SotC is legitimately terrible and gets called "art," making it objectively the most overrated game of all time. Majora's Mask is a close second.

I'm with you there. Felt like they were trying their damndest to make a tv show but the technology wasn't there and so much of the game feels like a chore instead of fun.

Ever try the sequel? Despite all its backlash I feel like it became what the original sought to be and became one of my favorite games

Too Human went straight to the "major disappointment" pile when it was released. I don't remember anyone particularly loving it.

Tecmo Bowl.

Simply because when people talk about how great Tecmo Bowl was, they're really talking about how great the sequel Tecmo Super Bowl was.

They've somehow become synonymous with each other.

Straight up, Too Human was one of my most played games on the 360. I had every class maxxed out aside from the one where you could juggle enemies en masse.

Should try one of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, I actually think they're better than the mainline entries. Explorers of Sky in particular is one of my favorite games of all time.

That game is a total masterpiece and is the best Pokmon game ever made in any line of games.

My personal belief in most overrated game I have actually played is either Dark Souls or Super Mario RPG. I just found both ungodly boring and not fun in the slightest. Dont see what people see in those games.

Is OoT overrated today though? It's just fondly remember as a really great classic nowadays, which it is.

Want actual overrated modern games? There's Assassins creed oddysey, that one is straight garbage.

Elden Ring is excellent but not quite best of all time level, because the second half or third gets all linear and goes against the design conventions of the rest of the game.
