[@DamianLirettePiano]

NFS Underground was a cultural moment. You had to play it at the time it came out. Those who did will always have nostalgia. It's understandable to see it's flaws in retrospect, especially with so many newer race titles to compare it to.

[@binho2224]

I agree! It was fantastic at the time! Same thing with goldeneye. Playing it with an emulator and a mouse injector is still fun. There were not many similar games when they realeased, thats why they set the standards higher in their genre and many games copied the formula and improved it with time.

[@bigjon8744]

I’m sure this is a hot take but the Last of us 1 has always been so overrated to me. I liked it and the story was good but it was never this “masterpiece” that people rave about to me . I’ve beaten it multiple times and always thought “yeah this was pretty good but not great or anything”. I love story games and There’s plenty of stories in games that had me way more invested fs. To me it’s like a 7 or 7.5 outta 10 at best.

[@HaffDeadFred]

Yeah i agree with you man it’s a pretty cliche story with average gameplay mechanics it’s cool and can be fun I’d say it’s no masterpiece though

[@radicalcentrist4990]

If you ask me, most Sony's games are just glorified movies. From my perspective, The Last of Us had a bad influence on gaming. If it was just by itself it would be fine, but it influenced other developers to make their own similar slow paced third person over the shoulder "cinematic experiences" where the gameplay isn't even the point. Just make a damn movie. They are basically the opposite of the bloated open world games, yet just as bad.

[@gabrielsandor3474]

Agreed. I think TLOU is pretty good, but in the last few years it seems like every other big Sony title wants to implement the exact same overused formula. They turned God of War into The Last of Us in a norse mythology setting.

[@A-Dubs398]

I feel like the movie thing with games started way before Last of Us. Metal Gear Solid was the first game to really overdo cutscenes.

[@gabrielsandor3474]

@@A-Dubs398 Sure, Kojima kicked off the game-movie hybrid trend, but it wasn't really that popular until the mid 2010s, when Sony started using it in every single game. And the reason was most likely because TLoU was so well received by everyone.

[@radicalcentrist4990]

@@A-Dubs398 sure, Metal Gear often felt like a movie, but the thing is, no one else was trying to copy the Metal Gear formula back then. Metal Gear was its own unique identity. The other closest thing was probably Splinter Cell, and that was definitely not a cinematic game.

[@A-Dubs398]

@@radicalcentrist4990 Splinter Cell is nothing like MGS IMO. Splinter Cell gameplay is way better and has more depth. But it still feels weird to even compare the games, cuz they are just so different, not just story, but gameplay too. MGS is kinda too cartoony for me, but thats just my opinion.

[@chaser1254]

Oh God, how I miss this kind of content on KZbin - it's not about the topic, but the form. You're not harsh on the titles, you know what they did well, you understand the context, and you know why they were groundbreaking, but you simply think people rate them too highly. And that's great - it's really enjoyable to listen to, even if I have a different opinion, like with 007 GoldenEye. But with GTA IV, that's a bullseye for me. I also found the game incredibly unpleasant to play. I never finished it. The driving mechanics just killed it for me.

All the weight and feel they had in gta4 is a big reason why I love it. The car and ballistics had such believable impact. It made everything feel super grounded in comparison to the sticks of butter you drive in gta5.

[@forestskilbred9461]

Nahhh what? This is coming from a guy who thought it was revolutionary back in the day, but those cars have some weird physics. The denting on the cars was over the top, and in a game where a ton of the time you spend is driving, they sure made driving feel like I had to stop a concrete block and turn every single minute of gameplay. I also HATED how the bikes felt, I was falling off every time I hit the smallest bump. Realistic? Maybe. Fun? No. The lost and damned tried to fix the bike physics but didn't save em. Ballad of gay tony finally added some fun vehicles and activities, but then GTAV blew the fun factor out of the water.

I think there is a pivotal question to ask yourself if you think a game is overrated: "Is there anything similar that's better than this?" not by one particular point but in general. If there isn't, then it is not overrated. It's a very good game with things you don't like.

Goldeneye?! Overrated!? Finally someone else says it, everyone loves it because of the memories they had with it, and I can say that I was there in 1997, it was fantastic but so many other games have surpassed it in experience. But, like you said, it walked so others could run, and it made countless memories, for everyone who started their multiplayer experiences with it.

[@tyronecriss23]

I was mad at the GTA 4 part but thinking about it I think Rockstars best games ever made are San Andres and Red Dead 2. Rockstar always say there goal is to make a game taking place in all America like the crew. I feel like San Andres and Red Dead are the only multi state games they’ve created. Also probably the two best protagonists. Like everyone knows CJ and Arthur.

[@Ghost_Ship2499]

I've felt there's been too many "movie" games that try too hard to be realistic and appeal to mainstream audiences ever since the ps3 era. Also, there's too many call of dutys, assassin's creed games, open world games, souls-likes, and low-effort uninspired indie farming games, lol. Nothing against any of those genres, I actually enjoy all of those things from time to time, but I wish there was more variety and creative experimentation in the industry.

[@HoChiMinhSD77]

Zelda Botw probs the most overrated game of current era it got so samey and boring after a while. Ultimately really like Last of Us II and think it was overrated by critics but overhated by gamers. Absolutely hated AC Odyssey and I actually liked Origins.

I dropped BOTW after 4hrs mainly due to weapons breaking constantly and the stamina bar. Haven’t touched the last of us pt 1 or 2 since the story and setting don’t interest me at all.

Despite enjoying multiple games that you mentioned, I tend to concur with most of your opinions here. All except Horizon. I think that game is actually pretty unique, and deserves all the praise. But I find your other takes to be pretty realistic. There seems to be a veneer over people's eyes that blow a lot of games out of proportion. For example, I love Nier Replicant/Gestalt because of the story, but is it really a "masterpiece" like some think it is? I'm a huge Final Fantasy VII fan, but I don't claim that it is an objective masterpiece. I just love it for my own personal reasons. Same with Star Wars. Anyway, great vid man. Keep it up.

The X games are flashier and certainly "grander," but MM2 is nearly perfect for what it's trying to be.

[@MantaOrlando]

Finally! The type of video I like! Will there be a part 2? Genuine question. For me some games like DQXI and FFVII are overrated. FF7, like Goldeneye 007, is one of the most important games of all time. I don't think it's one of the best. Game affecting translation errors, poor materia description and slow map movement caused me to rate FFVII an 8/10 on release date. But nowadays it's just a 7 and not really masterpiece material. The soundtrack is awesome though. Dragon Quest XI doesn't have that good of a story. Jade's character arc is just "Please, let me just survive this lust monster" and the third act retconned what happened in act 2. Gameplay is alright, albeit way too easy on the default difficulty and it's getting more difficult from Act 2 onwards. They are still good games, just overrated. I would recommend some of the older titles over the newer ones. Final Fantasy VI and IV, Dragon Quest V, III, IV, VIII etc....

I love your channel Jonathan. There are some things here I disagree with, but you seem like such a nice well spoken guy that it makes it impossible for me to be annoyed. Lots of great points here. Also, I don’t mind at all when most of this list are AAA games that are very mainstream.

[@jeffreycardona7112]

GTA 5 is definitely overrated but GTA4? I don’t think so.

[@purringbluzzmuffin8030]

GTA 4 is the worst GTA game. GTA 5 gets a ton of hate, so it's not overrated. GTA 5 tried to blend GTA 4 with old GTA, which is why it's worse than old GTA, but still better than GTA 4.

[@brazyfilmo3121]

You do more driving in gta 4 than anything else and that wouldn’t be the worse thing if the driving wasn’t so bad.

[@kingash9831]

​@@purringbluzzmuffin8030GTA 5 have terrible missions Boring acting and cut scenes The shooting sounds like cartoon gun shots Not to mention, the combat and excitement dies pretty fast in certain aspects It's honestly to me The 3rd best GTA game But GTA 4 and San Andreas are miles better for me personally

[@purringbluzzmuffin8030]

@@kingash9831 GTA 4 has the least interesting missions in the series. 5 has decent mission variety.

[@kingash9831]

@@purringbluzzmuffin8030 The missions aren't even linked to one another Majority of them are just jumbled missions Or missions that doesn't take it to a whole different narrative Whereas GTA 4, literally missions actually lead to something big And finding out where the story goes next and so forth Whereas GTA 5 doesn't really take it to a whole new level of like, where the story is going to. The only missions that were good Were the jewellery and heist missions. But that's about it Everything else is plain average and not memorable

[@jascoolo]

Yess. GTA iV is so overrated and someone agrees with me for the first time. I've tried it 3-4 times through years since its release and I always put it down at some point. Why? Because I was bored. Bored of graphics, bored of the plot, bored of this world...

[@butterschunkmcdonalds5333]

Ngl i def wouldn't call TLOU2 "Overrated" When seemingly all anyone ever does is hate on it and call it trash. If anything I'd say its grossly underrated. Story was never anywhere near as bad as people made it out to be, And as far as gameplay, Set pieces & Acting performances go, Its undeniably good.

[@Omen_Rocks123]

Everyone d rides the game now if call it overrated since people are tryna find every possible way to defend the game and love it for its trash writing and mediocre gameplay

[@butterschunkmcdonalds5333]

@@Omen_Rocks123 Yeah this is just NOT true lol literally can't even mention ANYTHING TLOU related these days without people freaking out and spamming hate comments. I still see this everyday. Once in a blue moon I'll see someone defending the game, Just to get absolutely bombarded with the toxic circle jerk of hate that still plagues TLOU2 to this day. Which is embarrassing cause the game is actually a good game, Not some untouchable masterpiece, But nowhere near being "Trash" or the "Worst game ever" Like the loud group of imbeciles still fixated on the hate proclaims it.

[@jmz2144]

I agree, playing through it for the first time rn, and I say its underrated based on the graphics/setting/story/combat

[@verbage432]

I'll never forget me and my friends trying mario kart 64 for the first time, we all grew up on crash team racing and just assumed the mario version was just gonna be better. the game felt so bad to us that we thought we were playing a hack at first

[@tuskoub]

Fire Emblem Awakening is the POSTER CHILD for this type of list if you’ve ever played it. It almost makes one (PISSED) that it’s one of the highest reviewed FE games, since it’s absolutely one of the more bland, uninteresting entries in terms of story AND with its level design. It really only gets those accolades because a lot of people chose to play it as their first Fire Emblem game.

[@mendelgrumenelite4331]

The term "overrated" stands for Elden Ring

[@BladeBlur]

OOOOH Boy I can commentate on this! The point is we are not argue one to one but it's fun to have a civil discussion. 1 - Honestly? I think it's mixed. I do think gameplay wise it's a great extension of the original. But my biggest problem is that it doesn't know when to stop. It just keeps going and going and it could've easily been split to two games. It's so rare for me to play a game and wanting it to end already. 2 - Agreed. I tried playing this game so many times and I never dug the controls and structure. If I wanna play a game like it, there is always TimeSplitters 2 and 3. 3 - Glad at least you didn't mention Origins, which I think was one of the best in the series. The other two suffer from bloat-itis. 4 - It's the only GTA game I ever finished BECAUSE the story is the only one I ever connected to. V might play better but I just never enjoyed the narrative because everyone is just deplorable. But yeah, the driving takes a LONG time to get used to. But it does have ROMAAAAAN. 5 - OH MY GOD THANK YOU. I never got the hype around Inside. Yes the shocking last portion is a creepy af twist, but it didn't stick with me like some other games. It's still very good, but to me it's more a 7-8 as opposed to a 10. 6 - My hot take is that I like Ragnarok more than 2018. I thought the combat was better, the story is better paced, and the locations were more unique. And I am glad the original GOW series is getting some love because I feel it's most forgotten. 7 - The original game does suffer from some copy-paste level design, but at least the gunplay carries it hard. I do think the first two missions and the final one are the best, but the rest, especially the Library, aren't up to snuff. 8 - I admire the swinging mechanic in this game, but everything else is basic and run of the mill. I still remember playing the final boss with Doc Ock and having to crawl on tight spaces and constantly being dropped to water is NOT fun. 9 - No opinion really, never played them much. 10 - Cavia as a developer try their best, but they always have some jank. Sadly this is another one. 11 - No experience with this one either. 12 - The more time that passes, I am not as big into Horizon. While I do the sequel improves on almost everything, I do admire the world building and lore. In fact I actually liked Aloy better in ZD over FW because she came off very standoffish to her allies who just want to help her. I felt the emotional core of the original is better but yeah, it went down for me over the years. 13 - Nostalgia be damned, 64 is fine. But that's just it. Fine. There are better MK other there. 14 - Still need to play this lol 15 - Yeah I am kinda done with those too, as much as I respect them.

[@7dogguy]

he said the combat is boring has he played ultimate spiderman?! that game gives you 5 punches and 5 kicks and some generic web attacks. spiderman 2 argueably has the best combat system in the series next to web of shadows because they both have fighting game esq move lists with alot of variety. If you watch the gameplay he just spams the punch button and has no idea what he is doing that is entirely his fault.

[@Mrbookworm-k4v]

Yeah persona 3 was so boring to me bro idk why it was so hyped up

[@bradflack7140]

with the Battle Royale debate, having over 100 days on apex i can say its the best experience bar titanfsll 2 ive ever had. the gameplay is so silky smooth snd i wish halo and cod would feel like it. By quality it is the best BR ever so to not get a mention is crazy. Its also really the only BR that still feels similar to the OG game. Good BR ganes can be made with the right ganeplay choices

[@philipberlanda]

The thing with old games is if you don't have nostalgia for it. It's just too outdated for you. I got a playsation in my 20s and I honestly didn't like almost any of the exclusives. Just because I had no special connect to them. I'd still be hyped to play gta 4 or halo. Though I'm not going to buy them again. I didn't play last of us 2 but they made games longer because the budgets are bigger and even tho alot of people won't complete them. For those who are die hard fans. It will ve a massive bonus. It sucks when you buy a game that ur hyped for and it ends too soon. Most people will drop a game once they hit a game over.

This is so outrageous that I've transcended resentment and reached Zen. Just kidding! I'm always happy to hear other perspectives. I don't get why people get so upset over differences of opinions on videogames.

[@Ghosthitman387]

Not sure where you’re lurking bro but most of your opinions on these games are definitely spot on. Have heard of very very few people saying GTA4 is the best, TLOU2 is widely hated by everyone but game reviewers, Ass Creed Odyssey and especially Valhalla aren’t really beloved they might be better than the other AC games but 7/10 is just about right, never heard a single person say the original Nier is better than the remade version and honestly that sounds like a hipster opinion. I agree with almost all of these (only one I disagree with is GoW Ragnarok being better than GoW 2018) and if someone’s blocking and flaming you for these takes then that’s a them problem.

[@hesicklenin4545]

Imagine thinking Ragnarok had good pacing.

[@redfoxbennaton]

Mario Kart 64 was so basic i almost skipped this part. If you love Mario 64 you probably dont like cars.

[@EchoFoxtrot21]

I'm with you on the battle Royale genre except there is one I really, really love. Hunt Showdown. That game is tense and the cowboy weaponry is more interesting than the usual machine gun/grenade fare you find in everything else.

[@vinland5454]

If theres no RDR2 on this list, its a fake video

[@thissideofmyworld7216]

As someone has said is not so rare you don’t like TLOU 2 story and pacing. It was indeed a polarizing game. I have to say though I love the game. It is just like you said, it made me feel emotions I weirdly have. Everything about it is so human, from the camera movement to the happiest of moments. Nonetheless, I agree with with the gameplay dragging, levels being very long for not a clear reason

[@zeb7015]

I would agree with you that GTA 4 is kinda overrated. I think the game is like a solid 8/10 and not a 10/10 as some people make it out to be. Even though i think it has the best story in the gta franchise, there was just so much that was missing from that game in terms of just pure sandbox fun. Like there was no planes in the game and i don't think there was tanks or military vehicles in the game either from what i remember.

[@balines3846]

Great video, as a gta fan i adore gta 4 but is not the best in the franchise as some people claim

[@siddhartino]

the trouble with the first Nier is how much of a god-tier story and lore the game offers, and yet how badly it's all buried by its side contents, pacing and pointless multiple playthrough. combat is not that much of an issue to me, but it's funny how better the remake did in that regard, and yet it didn't manage to fix all of the aforementioned issues

[@ex_cathedra4237]

I love Nier, but the majority of the side quests absolutely suck.

[@siddhartino]

@@ex_cathedra4237 totally. thankfully in Automata they're so much better. still too many of them and some are utter shit, but nothing compared to the first Nier and its remake
