Scorn has like a 64 metacritic.Scorn would be my pick. What a waste of potential.
This thread is how I'm gonna die isn't it?
My most overrated game this year by far is Elden Ring. I'm not trolling. Some of these are technical and some are personal reasons.
For all the hype about this doing open world right, I thought it was the complete opposite. The world was completely static, which is something I don't want in an open world. I feel like the combat was a step down from Sekiro and Bloodborne.
I played on PC and had some of the worst stuttering I've experienced and my PC is more than powerful enough. I had constantly framerate hiccups that did effect my gameplay where it froze for a second every so often. I've played more demanding games that run consistently at 60 fps or higher.
I hated the camera controls, especially when my view was constantly obstructed. (Personal) I also hated how clunky dodging felt since it activated when you let go of the button. Combat overall felt super clunky. I massively preferred more "dumbed down" combat from stuff like God of War or Platinum titles. It just wasn't for me.
BOTW.
I still donWRONGct 400 seeds FUCK OFF
TLOU 1 if you never played the first one at least it's a good game. But yeah i agree i bought the remake i played it for like 40 min and said.. yup it's the same damn gameFor me, Horizon Forbidden West for sure. I personally don't get the IP at all, and Sony is doing all these things with it. I couldn't careless. A sequel this year, a rumored MMO, and a VR game? Nah, I'm good. But the TLOU Remake for me, as well. For anything that's outside of the realm of AAA, I'd probably say Stray too. It was EVERYWHERE for a minute, and then those people stopped talking about it, lol.
Exactly. Just because something would be labeled overrated, doesn't mean it is bad. It is more of a personal description. For me, the game did not match the level of excitement and hype from the general online audience that I saw. What other's praised about the game, I didn't exactly enjoy. All personal. The reason I put it at the top is due to the technical hiccups which are not just a personal issue, and they were overlooked, while other games had docked points for them. Words like overrated, underrated, innovative, repetitive doesn't fully describe the quality of something. Like you said, it is all in context.Yes, Elden Ring....This should be about the only answer in this thread....unbelievable how its not although a bit of context is required here. Just because something is overrated does not mean it is a bad game. Elden Ring is a good game, maybe even a great game.
If you are to determine how overrated or overhyped something is, you need to take in where the rating or hype is to begin with. There is no game that even comes close to Elden Ring considering you would think it was the second coming of Jesus Christ himself in video game form if you were to believe social media and everyone around release time. That it was a type of game nobody has seen in their entire lives and that it was so revolutionary that it was the most monumental achievement in gaming history.
It WILL win game of the year and lots of people like it, but its overrated im sorry. Theres several aspects of the game that werent a step above anything, some of which include the actual graphics, UI, performance, and narrative/story.
That's just because your inner insecurity makes you enjoy having slaves.cannot accept the utter superiority by dogs over cats
This. Insanely boring games.Everything and anything Horizon - any year.
Let’s write a thread together on how much we dislike Horizon.This. Insanely boring games.
I don't think I've ever made a thread before on gaf that I can remember. Making one to bash the most boring and overrated PS4 game I've ever played though? Intriguing.Let’s write a thread together on how much we dislike Horizon.
Any game can be bad if you make up faults like these.Elden Ring for sure
- Ugly as hell, media ignores the fact that it looks PS3 tier in some parts, early PS4 at best.
- God awful performance on all platforms
- Worst in industry/genre combat
- Braindead AI
- No hit reaction on enemies
- Bland open world with fantastic art design being its saving grace
- Repetitive bosses, overly long and bloated
- Poor controls and camera
Cult of the Lamb is pretty good, but must say, there are a few too many indie games that are praised to the heavens when, in actual fact, they’re nothing more than average. Nothing wrong with that, of course.Stray and Horizon quite easily, but I still haven't played Cult of the Lamb.
...and?Stray: a disguised walking sim where its only gameplay treat is to be a cat.
.That one game you liked best
For some reason Horizon Forbidden West gets criticized a lot on here but reviews from nearly everywhere (retail stores included) have many people praising the gameCan I ask people that have said Horizon, why its overrated. Im not sure what the expectations were but I thought it was better in almost every single aspect over Horizon Zero Dawn. Visually it might be the best looking game that has come out, I think it still looks better than God of War Ragnarok and its open world. I had absolutely zero performance issues or bugs on the quality 30fps mode at launch, but maybe I just got lucky. I can see if peoples main issue is the story but I feel that is wildly subjective (just like the last of us 2 conversations). Zero Dawn story is seen as better probably because it was a complete mystery and you were driving forward to find out what happened and discovering this new world and the characters in it and their backstories. I feel like FW expanded on all this and took it to unexpected places.
I know a common complaint has been the melee combat but I think this criticism is kind of weak considering I never thought this game was supposed to be a melee heavy game and the combat has pretty much always supposed to be more ranged combat. I thought they did improve this in FW though as well, although probably still not up to peoples liking. It would be liking knocking COD because of melee combat lol
Almost everything in this game doesn't work or is worse than in the predecessor. The fights are just annoying way too many weapons way too much grind. The sound was very atmospheric in the first. Alone the explosions had a brilliant Sounddesign. Part 2 everything sounds wrong and weird. In addition, the same metal sound is always played no matter whether I fought against dinos or against armored people.Can I ask people that have said Horizon, why its overrated.

The first was definitely better in every way. Dunno why they didn't just improve on the formula of the first. I had a long hiatus from gaming and the first got me into gaming again.Almost everything in this game doesn't work or is worse than in the predecessor.

Then Aloy. No idea what all went wrong here, but she just got on my nerves. Same with the rest of the cast. Part 1 had cool armor and everything seemed like a unified whole. Part 2 the armor looked like it was designed by a toddler and it was very hard to take the other races seriously at all. Then there was the story. Was there one at all? I didn't notice any.
Wow, the year is already looking very disappointing. The only thing I haven't played is Xenoblade 3.
This year was even worse than I thought. Thank god we got Elden Ring.
Damn horizon gonna bring some salt when it gets nominated for the GOTY awards.
Cmon folks don't disappoint me.
It didn't release this year.BOTW.
I still dont understand how this game got GOTY.
Its walking simulator + AWFUL weapon durability mechanic + AWFUL looting system + collect 400 seeds FUCK OFF
Elden Ring
(runs)
But seriously, that endgame was total crap.
