It's overrated. Do I need to say more?
Erm... Perhaps why you hate it? Or is "a bunch of people like it" enough reason for you to evoke anger?


Personally, i don't buy into hypes or series much. The days where you had to buy a game pretty much blind are over(youtube is much better than gaming magazines back in the day), and for most games i like the price has gone down(even more when counting inflation). So there aren't much recent examples. But here are some...

Ad-venture capitalist. I hate it not because it's not fun(because it is) but for what it represents. It's addicting to the point where it's creepy. The concept? Watch numbers go up. That's almost literally it. You sell apples (by clicking a button) until you can hire someone to do it for you. Then after a time you can hire someone who hires people who sell apples for. Then as you've got enough money you hire someone for THAT job. And so on. The game pretty much runs itself and goes into astronomical figures. But it goes faster if you're actively doing stuff(yes, it runs when you're not even playing it!), so you're engaged... For some reason. Frankly: i hate it because it's such an obvious trap... That works nonetheless.

Final fantasy 8: I've mentioned this before in similar threads, but ey...
I can recall three separate issues with it, and frankly... Just one would've been enough to play something else now.
1. At one point i was stuck fairly early (i had to go through a bush that apparently wasn't scenery). No biggy, i thought: i just grinded a bit to level up, hopefully making the rest of the game easier.
I only later found out that enemies level up with you, which... Makes the entire system useless.
2. Somewhere in disc 3 eyes this long, long, LOOOONG unskippable dialog. No input choices but you must press a button after the slow scroll text happened. It's supposed to be a big reveal, but i was already fed up with the story at that time. Worse: my pc (or the game) crashed before i could save. So... Had to go through it again (by that time i felt hate rather than indifference)
3. Somewhere near or even at the end, the game suddenly takes all your stuff. Enemies pretty much one shot kill your party, so i had no idea what this was about.
As i found out later, you should've played that stupid card game to level up some skills i didn't even knew you would gain from it.
The previous two were just bad. That third one still infuriates me. I want my gaming time back, damn it!

>Fortnite, Among Us: Freaking OVERRATED!
I don't think hating a game for being overrated is fair. I consider witcher 3 to be overrated and the weakest in the series, but it's not bad objectively.

>Cooking Mama: I cannot stand Mama's face that appears when you fail a task. Gosh, I hate her. The series is very childish as well.
>Pokémon: Also overrated. And not only that, there are lots of overrated characters like Lucario (why do people like him so much?)
>Final Fantasy: Apart from my not so good skills in RPGs, I have an hate for this series because everybody plays it and is never tired.
The rest is generalization. Well maybe pokemon and mama are exact replicas of one another in most cases, but FF have so many games and even numeric entries are often barely reminiscent of one another.

I wouldn't say I 'hate' it, but I really didn't gel with Xenoblade Chronicles 2 at all. I love JRPGs and RPGs in general, but this game just didn't work for me. Slow start, too many systems and mechanics dumped on you with no warning or contextual weaving into the game, SO much anime fanservice that made me cringe myself into the fourth dimension...I just couldn't hack it.

Who did allow you to use my phrases like this?

Among Us, I'm just so tired of seeing it posted everywhere even though most of the time is completely unrelated. Mario Maker 2? I see tons of comments with "aMoGuS" everywhere. Same with Splatoon 3.

In math, there are different rules for determining the similarity of a triangle. One is called SSS, one is called UU, and the third is called SUS. We can't even talk about triangles in math class without everyone going crazy.

First off Hating a game just because "everyone plays it" is pretty ignorant. And saying "its overrated do i have to say more" is not better. Yeah you have to say more. For example why do you think its overrated? What are your exact problems with the games? Its not like i dont have the same opinion. Its just your shallow ignorance that rubs me the wrong way.

To OPs choices:
Fortnite and Among us: Yeah you are right about those two. I mean the whole Battle Royale gig is fun for about a dozen games or a bit longer with good friends in your team but it gets boring pretty fast. And among us is a REALLY bad copy of Werewolf/Towns of Salem

Pokemon: Yeah it is overrated and they did not do many new things in the last decade. Still love the games. Legends Arceus was pretty damn good in my books.

Final Fantasy: There is a problem here because you cant put the whole Series in one pot. They are very different in terms of gameplay and setting so i would say you have to be more precise. For example FF 13 was not only the worst FF game i ever played, but its pretty much on the Top of the worst game i generally ever Played. Boring story, Boring Characters and a Combat system that could be right out of a Mobile game because you cannot control any Character exept the "Main" one. Its bullshit.

Now to my own Choices:

I will leave out the obvious choices like Sports games or Call of Duty and Counter Strike because in my opinion everyone knows those games arent good in an objective point of view. So i will rather go with less standard ones.

Visual Novels. Simply because they say that its a "Game". Its sold as game, its advertised as game, but its not. Its in the name, its a Visual Novel. You payed 60 Bucks for a fucking Comic Book. And generally speaking a bad one at that

Point and Click Adventures that are not made by the Germans or Lucas Arts. Just never seen any that passess the bar. even the Good ones. They just dont measure up to the ones like Monkey Island, Deponia or Memoria.

And the winner of the "I Fu**ing hate this game!" award goes to *drumroll* SPORE. It startet so good. The whole pseudo evolotion thing from single cell on. Building a Tribe. Hunting, evolving, growing. Just Splendid! aaaaand then they went and destroyed the game and turned it into a Real Time Strategy game in the next phase..... FUCK i get angry just writing about it. I Like RTS games, but when i wanna play one genre right now and they say "hey try this this is good" and about 2 hours in they shove another genre down my throat then they deserve my everlasting hatred.

Agree with pokemon. It's just the same formula over and over again with a slight bump in graphics every new console. But I don't hate the game though.

I hate Animal Crossing. Boring as shit, tedious chores in-game, it's just an endless collect-a-thon, and I can't stand the hype.

I hate Fortnite. Nobody should be able to build a 30 story skyscraper when they're being shot at, the graphics suck dog ass from 1999, and it just looks childish and not fun.

I hate Call of Duty after the 4th game. Everything is just unoriginal, run-of-the-mill yearly-shooter with a bottomless skin collection to cash in on.

I hate Smash Bros, because none of the characters feel or play how one would think they would. When I play as mario, I'd expect to run around and jump with mario's typical movesets, like (A) to jump, hold (B) to run, (Z) to crouch, etc. All the smash bros characters feel stiffer than Tekken on the PS1, if that's even possible. You have to push up on the d-pad or stick to jump (which is just retarded beyond belief), and people get so worked-up over things like items being in the match. Like.... Grow the fuck up, lol.

I hate Fire Emblem. I tried playing one for the 3DS, and it was more like playing a set of interactive cutscenes, with a few short "battles" in between them. Though the graphics were good, I couldn't connect to the characters or story, and there wasn't much gameplay.

Honestly, I do not care at all about whatever you're ranting back at me.

personally, i don't think I really hate any games... but
I'm not really happy with Road Trip Arcade Edition since it was not a story-based car-themed RPG -racing game or whatever like ChoroQ HG2-HG4 were (using the japanese names bc god the localized names are shit).

Idk man, i guess i do kinda really hate when games like nier get new games that are mobile exclusive too bc... i really... don't like mobile games, and the ads that riddle them.

Rather than particular games, I hate industry trends. They've made the AAA and AA landscape extremely bland with every game needing to be open world, rogue-like/lite, survival, and/or battle royale with forced crafting mechanics and Ubisoft-style copy/pasted busy work.

I don't exactly "hate" the Monster Hunter franchise, but I dislike the amount of information they throw at you at the start of the games. I came to play to relax in my free time, not analyze a virtual enclyclopedia. It's one of the main reasons I can't get into the games and new releases.

I also don't like horror games that target a younger audience to make them cough up their parent's money on merchendise. Hello Neighbor, Poppy Playtime, Bendy and the Ink Machine, and whatever FNaF Security Breach was, are all examples of the trend. They have a more cutesy art style and don't dedicate the effort and take themselves seriously when it comes to the genre.

I have a love hate relationship with Overwatch. On one hand, if I’m queueing with friends, it is so much fucking fun. On the other hand, if I am solo queueing, it’s like strapping my balls to a snow leopard and begging it to not eat them.

I hate online COD games (and similar) because I'm getting too old and slow to compete.
I also hate online games which give you better stuff when you get better: You should get a worse gun when your accuracy increases to give everyone a decent chance... Godlike should be killing with a toothpick not a nuke.
