Most overrated game?

FIFA

Agreed.

It's the same fucking thing over and over again. Play one, you've played them all.

I wouldn't care but reviewers rave about it and consistently give them 9/10. When any other series does the same thing over and over, it's (justifiably) "oh this is stale!"

Selectiveness. Why...

I find CoD also overrated, although tbf that's just because FPS isn't really my thing.

I absolutely love Naughty Dog's games, Uncharted and The Last of Us. I'm reluctant to call them "overrated", because no other game developers put the level of work and love into games that ND do. Just the production value itself shits on most other games. The gameplay is also pretty sound, TLoU deliberately used slow-paced gameplay to suit the atmosphere, and for me it worked.



With that said, I definitely see the point about story writing and especially cliches. Uncharted 2 and 3 (not so much the first game) are so fucking cliche-ridden that they actually make me cringe at times. I hated how everything about U3 had to be a "close call" moment, where during gameplay Drake would (scripted) stumble or half-fall every time you'd make a move in some sequences, just for "dramatic effect". It made the gameplay feel so irritatingly slow and choppy at moments which were supposed to exciting and adrenaline-pumped. I'd put that down more to story writing than to gameplay though, since it was scripted.
