Gamecube Most overrated GameCube game ever

[ciro64 ciro64]

I should try giving Paper Mario Thousand Year Door another chance. But those linear looking maps in a non-interconnected world really disappointed me

Yes, you should

 

[NotReallyHere]

Twin Snakes.

Even when it was first released, I tried it at a friend's house and immediately just wanted to play the original MGS, instead. For all the attention given to the updated presentation and controls, I just didn't think it made for a better game. At all.

Conversely, I adore the Resident Evil remake! But I also really like the original, too. I thought the remake did do enough to make it stand out and feel fresh, and the environmental sounds and atmosphere were off the charts.

I still play both versions of RE1 regularly. But for MGS, it's the PS1 or nothing

Most overrated GameCube game? Your favorite one .

WHERE MY WARIOWORLD BOIS AT

 

[alpha_wolf24]

Wind Waker. Twilight Princess is leagues better than it.


Animal Crossing is boring in my opinion.


Mario Golf TT is an ok game, not amazing in my books. I personally do not like golf. I find it boring and frustrating.



Sonic Heroes is frustrating and not fun. (I know it’s multiplat, but im counting it) Just try getting all the emeralds and all A ranks, you’ll see what I mean.



You’re gonna get mad at me for this one, but….
Shadow the Hedgehog is not a good game. It’s very repetitious and boring. The story also makes me cringe.

i dont knock you for your Shadow oppinions. the recent fan remake vastly improves on it but the original version just plays like Sonic Heroes but with awkward gunplay forced into it. also not too keen on the whole having to play the game 11 times at minimum to get the "true" ending. and the levels can also go on for a bit sometimes. the music is good though i gotta say. my personal favorite All Hail Shadow version is from that game so at least theres that

 

[DrakFrog]

Melee, the overrated gamecube game. People do nothing but play that game, for money

blame Kojima for some stupid decisions like forcing SIlicon Knights to put over-top cutscenes like in MGS2, models being based on the PS1 models instead of the artwork(the Twin Snakes models were made by Kojima's team not Silicon Knights) or not giving enough time to Silicon Knights(that's why VR Missions is absent in Twin Snakes or why MGS2 mechanics breaks the game)

Silicon Knights originally intended to make a very faithful Metal Gear Solid remake for Gamecube but Kojima sabotaged the project

I have sent the "Punished Link" to you:

"Zelda, I'm already a demon." lololol

I fully agree with this but I'd add Super Mario Sunshine. I genuinely think that game is mid which is a shame because I really love using FLUD and I love the tropical theme. But for most of the game you don't use its different nozzles and there are too many red coin challenges. Especially when compared to Mario 64 which did have its fair share of repeating challenges, I think Sunshine made it more noticeable. Then there's the 240 blue coins which make up a noticeable portion of the shine sprites. I wish the game was delayed a bit to fix a lot of its problems, or get a sequel that expanded the game.

 

[sneakyguts]

mario sunshine was a disgrace for the 3d mario games

 

[iisoide]

Mostly because I think they play better on other platforms as opposed to being "overrated", but Sonic Heroes, The Simpsons Hit and Run, and the Tony Hawk games.

 

[nyka]

Melee is pretty far down on my list of favorite smash games. Not a terrible game but I'm very over how it's sometimes treated as THE smash bros game

 

[NeonKnights]

Sonic Adventure 1+2, because of the graphical comparison to the Dreamcast versions. It gave me some Dark Souls Remastered ptsd.

 

[DanVzare]

Probably one of the first-party Nintendo games. While they're usually decent enough games, I find them all to be overrated. I can't say which in particular is the most overrated though. Mostly because I haven't played them all yet.

 

[valosagutas]

Do people even know what the word overrated means? Why do people keep mentioning stuff like Luigis Mansion and Sunshine? These games have never been very popular oO Also, since when would anyone defend Shadow the Hedgehog? Is this a new meme im not aware of? A guy (Bloodletter) posted the game a few minutes ago in place 5 of his top 50 fav games of all time and Frickinfrik thinks people would get mad about somebody calling it bad? What is happening???

Yeah. I have no idea why people turned the thread into "video games you hate". Probably because of a conditional logical that 1st condition "mention overrated GameCube games replaced with 2nd condition "Lets continue the hate" lol.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example people mention Wind Waker. This game was never liked in the context of whole gamers. Even die-hard Nintendo and Zelda fans hated it in every atom in their bones lol. This is the game that was so "underrated" and "unfairly hated" SEGA fanbois used it to make fun of Nintendo and Zelda fans lol. People compare it with other Zelda games and bash it with "childish", "the hell", "weird style", "bad visuals", "what is that forced stealth mission", "they just threw you into world and said goodbye", "chore gameplay", "lack of story", "bad characters", "where is the SpaceWorld 2000 graphics?", "IDK where I should go or I'm going", et cetera lol. Even before internet was popular around you would never hear any video game in a popular series hated so much because people usually loved whatever was popular just because of how popular it was, so the Wind Waker situation was a very shocking and weird aspect in gaming culture people were like "the hell you doing Nintendo". At the time SEGA was also ruining Sonic games so people thought "is this the end of Japanese video gaming?" lol.

Eventually, the game has a niche fan base that's even more separated than the Zelda fan base. There are tons of people who dislike Zelda games but like Wind Waker. Nintendo tried to attract "non-Zelda gamers" and they were partly successful with it by almost losing the Zelda fanbase lol. Calling the game "overrated" to hate it is actually way more "overestimating" the situation than how much fans of the game overestimate the game lol.

However when you check the game's score around all you will see only the part of gamers who love the game and raise the score of the game around while haters ignore the game. You can even hear people who don't accept the game actually exist or part of the series lol. Some even call the game "Celda Wind Waker", they don't accept the game as a part of an "official" series lol.

I do like Wind Waker by accepting it's not even one of the good games in the series, as it rather only has a meme-worthy humor, I would call it underestimated anyway just because I judge the game as a video game, not as a Zelda game.

If we base "how the game was liked" in "objective way" by comparing how much it sold, Wind Waker sold half of about how much Ocarina of Time/Twilight Princess was sold. Wind Waker sold a little more than Majora's Mask in which if the game couldn't attract non-Zelda gamers it couldn't sell that much. Also Wind Waker HD is among "worst-selling Zelda game" in the context of how much other Zelda games sold that people don't even consider as "main/important" Zelda game. This is probably why Nintendo didn't care to port the game to Switch and I really don't think they would ever unless they feel very generous. Wind Waker may be the only Zelda game Nintendo regrets and wanna forget, talk about "overestimated" huh? lololol

 

[Urpazurpa]

mario 128 is overerated in my opinion

 

[Ikagura Ikagura]

SEGA fanbois used it to make fun of Nintendo and Zelda fans lol.

I thought it was PS2 players that made fun of Nintendo for being "childish".

At the time SEGA was also ruining Sonic games so people thought "is this the end of Japanese video gaming?" lol.

Wait, wasn't Adventure 2 the latest release back when Wind Waker was out? I don't remember them saying they ruined the series (yet).

I do like Wind Waker by accepting it's not even one of the good games in the series.

I think that there's fundamentally no "bad" Zelda games in the mainline/Nintendo made series.

Melee is pretty far down on my list of favorite smash games. Not a terrible game but I'm very over how it's sometimes treated as THE smash bros game

It's mostly about the context that people claims Smash should be competitive when it was always meant to be more or less a party game.

This is what led to Smash 4 not having as much content as Brawl while being less complex than Melee so it attracted neither players.

 

[iamthemilkman]

Resident Evil 4

I remember people telling me that the controls sucked because it added "tension" While maybe true, they still sucked, and even Capcom agreed since their remake did away with them.

 

[DrunkGecko]

Super Mario sunshine didnt do it for me at all

 

[valosagutas]

I thought it was PS2 players that made fun of Nintendo for being "childish".

TBH it started with the NES itself. People were like "you gotta be a little kid to play that" lol. It worked wonders for SEGA because their company goal was offering games "that's not for kids" lol. While greatest violence in Nintendo games were "people just disappear" in SEGA games you could see blood flying everywhere and whatnot lol.

Wait, wasn't Adventure 2 the latest release back when Wind Waker was out? I don't remember them saying they ruined the series (yet).

Until Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1994) )everything was satisfying for customers. Sonic series greatly improved in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 because of lots of new features like Super Saiyan Sonic lol, a companion who can help you out, elemental super powers (example pick up fire stuff and get fire-made protective shield that also make you attack by launching yourself onto enemy. Water-stuff that's also a protective shield that help you jump higher by bouncing on the ground). After Sonic the Hedgehog 3, SEGA thought people would want an isometric Sonic game and 3D Sonic game -- we didn't. So, Since Sonic & Knuckles (1994) the series is ruined for many fans. So by the time Wind Waker released (2002), SEGA ruined Sonic series further and further in 1998 and 2001. SEGA's future was bleak. Fans very angry, so angry they started to roll in the floor like Sonic crying lolol. Then Nintendo dropped the atomic bomb of Wind Waker in 2002. Japanese video game console industry was bleak. People were ashamed. Fans started to commit seppuku lolol. But then Sony distracted the whole country with PlayStation 2 since 2000 so damage was reduced. Japan was protected. Deities were satisfied. Honestly PlayStation 2 really made tons of people forget about Nintendo and SEGA so hard we didn't "notice" SEGA stopped releasing video game consoles and Nintendo was sinking so hard to float they were spamming handheld video game consoles lol. Things rather happened so hard lol.

I think that there's fundamentally no "bad" Zelda games in the mainline/Nintendo made series.

Yeah but Japan is different. For example Americans are politically fanatic, British people fanatic of football clubs, Italians fanatic of their foods, French people fanatic of their language and culture, but then Japanese people fanatic of their race, history and religion. When you combine these, no wonder Zelda fans are rather divided. There are fans who either fanatic for Twilight Princess, or Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask. Relatively less people (not that they are minority) likes Zelda series itself without picking any game and way less people who like the series also only pick one of these 3 games and they dislike the other game. Things are weird because they are beyond a fan, they comprehend video games as part of their "race, history and religion" lol.

This is why Nintendo is very limited to survive in Japanese market and this is why SEGA failed. To survive Nintendo sticked to their formula, while SEGA is the anarchist teen of the market failed because they kept trying to go beyond time so hard they flew too close to the sun and thus they fell as a roster chicken lol. Almost Nintendo was falling hard trying to catch SEGA. But why PlayStation 1 was successful is just because they were new and they didn't pick side on "childish, teen or mature games". $ony learned from the wisdom and mistakes of Nintendo and SEGA. Now, $ony and SEGA have lots to learn from Nintendo lol.

I remember seeing this when I was 6.
I was blown away by the concept of blowing Hitler's head up in a video game.
