    There are some over/underrated video games. What do you think are overrated and underrated?

    Overrated 1
    Angry Birds. I never really got to enjoy this tedious game which doesn't even have a nice music on it.

    Overrated 2
    Megaman 2. This game has some horrible level designing, and the weapon balance is really off. The music was awesome, though.

    Underrated
    Kirby's Dream Land 3. While this game had fun sidequests and nice animal friends, nobody seems to know it since it was released at the end of SNES's lifespan.

    Over rated:
    Minecraft. It's just a building & survival game. I can play LBP2 for building & it's creator created survival levels for that. [No offense..]

    Under rated:
    Wind Waker. Some fans hated the cell shading & refused to play it. I thought it was great having played the upgraded HD version.

    Overrated: Call of Duty. DEFINITELY Call of Duty. Minecraft, Team Fortress 2(never played FYI), Angry Birds. I believe Mario is now. Also, yeah. Mega Man 2 is pretty damn overrated. lol

    Underrated: I'd say JRPGs in general. IDK anyone personally but me who likes them. I suppose that factors in me thinking this.

    Overrated:

    Agree with the last two posts about Minecraft, as well as Call of Duty. (and most other shooters...I can see why some think they're fun, but they don't at all appeal to me. And others are just horribly bad lol) Oh, and Zelda: Twilight Princess, I loved the other games, and then this one just did everything wrong with the wolf and the game itself is so boring.

    Underrated:

    Fire Emblem (not that nobody likes the games, but they aren't nearly as popular as others)

    Overrated: Minecraft, Halo, Call of Doggyuty, shooters in general, Angry Birds, & Final Fantasy 8 (I love the FF series but FF8 is so overrated it isn't funny impo.)

    Underrated: Wind Waker, Crono Cross, JRPG's in general (being that I'm a huge JRPG fan I think that it's overlooked a lot by game companies. -_-), & Skylanders (personally I enjoy the Skylanders series & think it's highly underrated).

    I consider Civilization 4 to be overrated. Don't get me wrong - it's very good, but I don't understand why it's so widely regarded as the holy grail of the franchise. Also, Facebook games in general are overrated, especially the Zynga ones Razz . 

    As for underrated, I'd nominate any Paradox grand strategy game, especially Crusader Kings II. They're not hated, just overlooked by many people - although, with that said, they're always going to be niche products.

    @Luma
    How is Rayman Legends underrated? Everybody seems to love it. Also, you said "Minecraft series" when it's only one game.

    Well I mean all the differen versions of it, it's kinda like a series... XD

    Rayman Legends sold poorly and received mixed reviews, yet it is a great game.

    I see Call of Duty and Minecraft are getting a lot of nominations here Razz . 

    With CoD, I get where you're coming from: I'm not really into shooters, so I don't understand all the hype for the games. Then you have the anecdotes about people skipping school or work to play it: no game is worth doing that. However, I'd also consider the game to be 'overhated': it's reached the point now where CoD's haters are just as annoying as its fanboys. So, on balance, is it really overrated?

    To me, it just seems to be a lot more polarising than it should be. Everyone seems to have a strong opinion on CoD one way or the other - and being indifferent towards it makes me feel like a bit of an outcast Razz .

    Hmmm. Yummy.

    In truth, I really don't care if games are listed as underrated or overrated. lol 

    If I put my own personal opinions on each I listed...(INCOMING WALL OF TEXT)I guess?

    1. Call of Duty: I enjoy these games. When I was still in school I was one of those "God. Why are these stupid games so popular? Stop annoying me with your dumb fanboy rage.". But now, I find immense joy. One of the only games I can ONLY play online.

    2. Minecraft: Maybe it's my cousin but he always insists we play this. First time playing; fun as hell. After? It was wearing out and getting boring fast. I refuse every time to play now because it bores me to death. 

    3. Team Fortress 2: No opinion. Haven't played. Looks stupid, though.

    4. Angry Birds: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........... IDK. It's an app game.

    5. Mario: I still enjoy his games. I don't play them as often anymore... I do feel he's gotten old. I guess it was true when my mom said back then "I would outgrow him.". If it weren't for Mario, these lovely games would not be around. He's basically the icon of Video Games and rightfully deserves that title.

    6. Mega Man 2: I take this one as a joke. It's hilarious at how popular than the rest it actually is. Whenever a direct reference of it pops up I can't help but laugh.

    I have played TF2 and I didn't really like it. Like I said in my previous post, though, I'm not into shooters. 

    I could appreciate that it was a well-made game, though, so I wouldn't add it to my list of overrated games.
