Overrated "Classics"

[KenaiPhoenix]

Final Fantasy 7

I played the original and wow... it was not a good experience. Story hasnt aged well and gameplay wise it even looks really unfinished at times.

And idk if this is classic, but some people (that probably never played it) treat like one:

Metal Gear Solid V

What a piece of trash, and every reviewer talk about it like the perfect game. We only had like 1/3 finished! the fuck where they on?

Metal Gear Solid V

Super Mario World,FF7 ( Never got the Hype ) Pokemon Games ( and the Pokemon hype in general )

There are a few of them, but probably the worst one of them is Xenogears. The philosophical and psychological themes the story presents would get you a D- in a 101 level class if you tried to present them in any kind of capacity, the pacing is the worst I've seen in a game (let alone RPGs!), and the tone of some conversations changes on a dime, to the point where it is unintentionally funny at times. It's the pinnacle of too many ideas going on at once, and it's like the writer just put anything they thought was cool in a blender and didn't put the lid on, letting it all fly where it may.

Pokémon and animal crossing.

Reviewers have never had sane opinions if we’re being honest. IGN had their “Sonic was never good” spiel despite giving Sonic Pocket Adventure a 10/10.

And of course that’s not to mention how overworked game reviewers are. A lot of reviews read like burnout because they’re forced to practically speedrun the games before they officially release and that’s how we get the worst reviews of all time.

As someone that played it a lot, Super Mario 64, its controls while innovative nowadays has been rendered obsolete within its own console, the DS port had its chance to give us a remake in the tier of Resident Evil DS, Fire Emblem Secret of the Emblem or Diddy Kong Racing, the camera is a product of its age and the objectives are obtuse, nowadays people that like it are either people that grew with it or speedrunerrs

All of the Halo games, and I don't really dislike them but they are way overrated. Even when they were new releases I never had the hype for them that the majority of the population did.

I gotta say Zelda--any of them. I have fond memories of Link to the Past, but there's plenty else I'd rather play. Perversely, I actually did enjoy Zelda 2 as a kid, the side scrolling one that everyone bashes.

Goldeneye. It wasn't groundbreaking. You were 11.

I can't think of a single FPS that's even close to being as good or innovative as Goldeneye in 1997.

It invented and destroyed the 3D platformer genre in one game. What platformer even comes close to giving you that kind of precise mobility and variety of acrobatic maneuvers with such enormous stages? And the physics were sophisticated too, with the friction and incline of the surface effecting your movement, etc. It's a total masterpiece in game feel.

I wanted to argue but some people are trying to put nostalgia as an excuse.

Quake II and Blood were great 1997 FPS but they were built upon pre existing concepts (Quake and Duke 3D).
