My heart breaks when I see answers like "BioShock games", "Half-Life games" and even "Portal games"... Portal, overrated? Seriously?
PS: IMO, Half-Life 2 isn't as good as Half-Life, but is still a very good FPS, better than actuals.
I don't think there are overrated games, just people with too many hype and expecting too much from a game a friend recommends them.

Well, Bioshcok is a masterpiece game, but Bioshock 2 is mediocre at best and Bioshock Infinite, although a great game, is overrated, because it got reviews where it was called the best FPS ever made or said to have the best story in video game history.

The most overrated and overhyped game so far in my humble opinion has to be Skyrim.
Huge step back from the previous TES games, except for the graphics. It is basically a generic action RPG in a TES settings featuring boring and frustrating combat, stupid AI, empty world, robotic NPCs without any personality or background, no immersion, dumbed down gameplay, uninteresting quests, and the list could go on.
All the hype seems to come from the "open-endedness" of the game, which is nearly non-existent. You can't kill "important" NPCs because the game has decided so, you can't reconciliate the factions at war, because it hasn't been scripted, you can't become king, and so on... You are only "free" to follow a script which has very few forks.

I prefer oblivion over all others. Skyrim's tone was just not on par with what I expected. Not to mention the fact that the game is very dull looking. It's like there's a layer of grey over everything. Kind of like fallout with all the green.

I think The Walking Dead game from Telltales is crap. The character are unrealistic, the choices stupid or meaningless, and the ending of the first game was such epic levels of bullshit I can't understand how anyone wants to play the second game. But, there it is.

BioShock and Fallout? Were you possibly drunk and/or high when playing them? Your opinion is wrong, lol.

It's impossible for an opinion to be wrong. That's the whole point. You just sound like an ass.

Mafia is isn't overrated in any way, I think it's totally underated, honestly Mafia II was the best game I have ever played.

I'm glad you like the game but I absolutely hate that piece of sh.t of a game. The reason I say it's overrated is, there are barely any negative reviews for it out there. Maybe I just expected more from it (at least some good characterization or a decent story) being a huge fan of the original.

I wouldn't call it THE MOST overrated game I've played, but personally, I found Assassin's Creed 2 to be overrated.
People were praising it a lot and while it certainly was an OK game, it had a myriad of flaws.

This is what happens when you get the second game in a franchise and it happens to be a pretty big improvement over the first. It's kind of what happened to Sam Raimi's Spider-Man II or Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, although to a lesser degree. First of all, it had a much more fun and likable protagonist over the first game, although I myself liked Altair quite a lot, cause he had a very bad-ass, no bullshit attitude, as opposed to Ezio who was more of a lovable ass-hole(sort of like Vince Vaughn's characters in all his movies). The game also had a better, more alive feeling open world with more (and a lot more varied) things to do(always important in a sand-box game), a lot of added mechanics which really solved the glaring issues of its predecessor(fast-travel, monetary system) and it featured more killing(not that I'm some kind of psychopath, but it is a game called ASSASSIN'S Creed). It was basically Renaissance GTA and people absolutely loved it, that's why everyone blew its quality level way out of proportions. But it is still to this day the best AC game. Haven't played Black Flag, but I doubt it can compare, at least story wise.

Black flag is definitely better than 2. Although I've never actually finished any assassins creed game but I've played the majority of 1 2 brotherhood and 4. I tend to lose interest in most sandbox games.

Personally, I think the first Assassin's Creed is superior to AC 2, in almost every single aspect.
AC 2 was a decent game, but it just wasn't a particularly awesome ASSASSIN-themed game in my opinion.
I felt more like a mercenary; too many "random" people were involved (but surprise surprise, they are all assassins!), too many fights that involved slashing through waves after waves of guards, the Creed itself was hardly ever mentioned...
I agree that it felt more like a Renaissance GTA, whis just wasn't what I was looking for at that time.

Oh yeah, I hated that "baby-tutorial" as well.
As hard as he tried, Ezio can't ever hold a candle to ultra-cool Altaïr! :D

I was wondering how far I'd have to go to see this. It's good, sure... but it's not the gleaming masterwork some claim. I've had a friend insist that the FF7 story is more complex and confusing than Xenogears--what we didn't know at the time is that the storyline for Xenogears was originally pitched for FF7, but it was thrown out for being too confusing.

Bastion

Assassin's creed serie
Idem

Amnesia. It's wasn't creepy, the bad guys weren't scary, the puzzles were pathetic, the game play just wasn't fun and all for a choice of anti-climactic endings. I can not think of a single redeeming feature for that game. In the end it probably comes down to how easy the player is to scare.

D'aw, I really liked Amnesia ;)
It wasn't dowright SCARY, but it had this dark, helpless atmosphere that I enjoyed :)

Half Life 2, sure its a good game but its not the perfect masterpiece everyone says
