LaWiToR Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Thought it would be fun to read what you think is the most overrated game on PS4? A game everyone loves and talks about but when you play it you just find it poor or boring. If I had to pick one, it would be Hellblade Senua's Sacrifice. It was alright, but the gameplay felt so repetitive and the puzzles really bored me. Obviously, there were parts that I liked, the story, voice acting and the connection with mental illness etc but overall I felt that the game was hyped up so I was kind of disappointed at the end. Another game is Lost Legacy, the quality is up there with Uncharted 4 but I found the characters and missions somewhat boring. It does not mean that the game is bad, it was just not as fun as it is made out to be imo. Your turn ✌️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiCBZ Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) RiME, I played it thanks to the PS Plus and I found it a horrible game. I did not understand what to do, where to go, and the character was too damn slow. I don't understand how people claim that this game is a masterpiece. Thank to god I took no trophy, otherwise I would have been forced to plat the game just because of that throphy I took.

exsentry Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Really hard to say, as "overrated" essentially means "one shouldn't like a game, as much as they should." Also, a lot of things are based on context. If you haven't heard of Hellblade and played it w/o any preconceived notions, you find yourself impressed with it. Having said all of that, it Nier for me at the moment. I haven't enough hours in it to make a valid opinion but the story did not grab me as much as I thought it would have and there seemed to some technical issues like pop-ins and framerate drops. Good game, but far from perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gommes_ Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 Horizon Zero Dawn I was hyped like everybody else before I played it. While playing I noticed that this game just doesn't bring anything new to the table except amazing graphics. I still don't get the hype and think that Nier Automata which came out the same year was the better game. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Fly Spider-Guy Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Where do I begin? There's tonnes, but I think I'll have to be a wingman to fellow Aussie, @AuzzieWingman, and say Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Thing is boring as all fuck. No real gameplay either. It's the actual definition of a walking sim. I can play some other walking sims, and I'm sure there's even been a few I enjoyed, but this thing just sucked ass in every aspect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifteskymfning Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Horizon Zero Dawn. Uncharted: Lost Legacy. And that The Last Of Us port... I have a sinking feeling that TLOU2 is gonna be arse gravy as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ_Radio Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) 40 minutes ago, skateak said: Hotline Miami Hotline Miami was technically on the PS3 first so I don't really consider it to be a PS4 game firsthand. Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number is a lot more difficult, as well as a lot more frustrating. ------ Horizon Zero Dawn - I praised this game when I got the platinum because it was well, my 100th platinum that I earned last summer. But looking at it closely, the only thing that really stands out is the graphics. Graphically the game is beautiful. There's no doubt about that. But the story, along with many of the characters, really aren't anything that spectacular. Aloy is seemingly annoyed with many of the tribes old way of doing things, but she has no choice than to help them bring down a threat. Sylens, who in many ways is an isolationist and fiercely independent much like Aloy, is rather bitter and I grew sick of him by near the end of the game. Aloy and Sylens relationship never improve at all, even while they made progress on learning about the old world that used to dominate the planet they fight to survive in. Even during the Frozen Wilds DLC, Sylens bickers with Aloy regarding her questions about his origins. Much of the game is helping the tribes people against the machines. Once you've done a few missions from the starting area (before you venture out to the desert) you will pretty much know what most of the gameplay will be. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy - In some aspects I personally liked Uncharted: The Lost Legacy a little more than Horizon Zero Dawn, but like that game, the biggest strength of Lost Legacy is the graphics. Exploring the Indian jungles was a sight to behold, and finding the first lost city is breathtaking. Graphics in video games have come a long way since I started gaming. But that's the best that came out of Lost Legacy. The story is predictable, the characters are dull, the collectibles are the same 'find this artifact in an obscure nook and cranny' borefest that we saw in Uncharted 4. Chloe Frazier doesn't have the charm she had in Uncharted 2. Plus we don't really know her story all that well until late in the game. Nadine Ross was a bit of a badass in Uncharted 4 but here she just comes across as overly reserved and bad tempered. A certain someone was shoed in and was completely unnecessary for the overall plot. The only character I was any impressed with was the villain, and unfortunately he wasn't quite as memorable as past Uncharted villains. Plus Naughty Dog stole a segment from Uncharted 2 to put into this game, only it wasn't nearly as exciting. I took a few weeks away from this game because it was just so damn boring for me to hunt all the collectibles and then listen to Chloe and Nadine bicker to each other. I was so happy to get the platinum, because I'm not playing this game anytime soon. I'm sure as hell not going to put it on my alt, finishing it once was bad enough.

Popular Post TheLastLion93 Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 Call me crazy but I found Uncharted 4 to be very overrated. Especially the first hours are a real bore because you have to sit through countless cutscenes talking about struggles, emotions and what not. It becomes a much better game half way through but that's still half of the game being boring cutscenes. Lost Legacy did it much better and felt like a huge improvement in that regard. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuciaRosethorn Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) -GTA -COD -Metal gear solid V - They really fucked it up at that point and I love the series -Final Fantasy XV - most of the people who like it haven't play any of the others and all of the fans hate it. Its not a FF game in my eyes. There's probably more but these are the ones I can think of right now.

Popular Post VeritableLemon Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Overwatch. I mostly played alone, so I'm sure this does play a role in the fact that I got bored with this game, but everybody hyped it up as if it were the best game on the market. Even after playing with friends though it fell a little flat for me. I still don't quite understand what makes this game have such a large fanbase. It's a decent game, but doesn't deserve all of the hype and praise it gets imo. Edited March 6, 2018 by VeritableLemon 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleblood Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 (edited) Horizon Zero Dawn as mentioned before. It's a good game but not even close to being as special as it's made out to be. Edited March 6, 2018 by Swifty-Joker 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooruPT Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Horizon. Lauded by the media for being a fresh, exciting new take on open world design and storytelling. Played it, left wondering what the hell did I miss. Completely, one hundred percent by-the-book open world game, tried and true "outcast goes hero" plot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DrBloodmoney Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 Oh good, another negative thread where people can whinge about how everyone else is wrong and their taste is what matter ? There are games that are very popular on PS4 that I personally don’t like or have any interest in (Metal Gear / Fifa / Monster Hunter etc.) but that doesn’t mean they are overrated - it just means I personally don’t like or have any interest in them. On the other hand - if you go by the star rating system on the psn store then basically everything seems to be ‘overrated’ - seriously, it seems like every game - good, bad or mediocre - gets somewhere between 4 and 5 stars! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KingGuy420 Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 Last of Us. And not just on ps4, I think it's the most overrated game ever made. Was it enjoyable? Probably. Did it deserve to win a game of the year award? Possibly. Did it deserve to win hundreds of awards and sweep every major award show and have it be the only game that everyone and their dog is talking about for weeks on end like it was the second coming of christ? Hell no. It was a linear shooter with clunky controls that was only saved by a clichéd zombie story. That really was the time that I realized gameplay was taking a back seat to story telling in modern gaming. That really bummed me out lol. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zondares Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I didn’t understand Monster Hunter World, I disliked Dragon Quest Heroes, and I kind of hated Fallout 4. It doesn’t make them “overrated” though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, this thread is cancerous. People don’t understand that different tastes means different things for different people, Hotline Miami is important for the medium because top down games went extinct until Dennaton Games made a top down hyper violent video game when everyone at the industry was going soft and it hit home with everyone at the time, Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture’s soundtrack was Emmy nominated I think and that makes it an important video game for the medium, Rime managed to come out through all the shit it went through and the toxic behavior that threads like this one were doing to the creator...I can go on and on about each and every video game that got mentioned here and why they’re not overrated. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you rephrase what you just wrote because it’s straight up unreadable. Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture won the Bafta for best music and not an Emmy btw, I just checked it and made sure to correct myself before someone else does. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
