System Shock 2
Incredibly unbalanced and unsatisfying RPG system. Terrible level design that betrays expectations of non-linearity. The worst hacking minigame ever conceived. Garbage story that compromises player agency and the legitimacy of the antagonist for the sake of a stupid plot twist.
Jagged Alliance 2
Tactical game with nearly no variation. Extremely shallow strategy layer that only ends up being busywork. Tedious item management. Invisible time limits and spontaneous resource shortages are added as a cheap way to challenge/annoy the player because the game design is too limited to allow meaningful strategical challenges from the opposing force. Lazy tongue-in-cheek writing and characters.
SWAT 4
Broken and poorly thought-out RoE system and ineffective AI communicate a weird and unrealistic game to the player: a tactical shooter where you are hesitant to make use of your squadmates and where you more afraid of getting penalized for not shooting an armed suspect at the appropriate moment than getting shot or letting the suspect run away and continue endangering civilians.
Red Dead Redemption
Bottom of the barrel cover shooter combat. Repetitive mission design. Samey weapons. Embarrassing oh-so-subversive yet very predictable sidequests. Extremely verbose dialogue. Shallow characters and story.

PS:T. Good story, it's just that it completely fails at all aspects of being an actual game. Combat is a chore, exploration might as well be a series of long loading screens dividing one philosophical conversation from the next, and any sense of building and upgrading your character falls entirely by the wayside as you very quickly realise that none of it actually matters other than to unlock a few more quirky conversation options and perhaps get a bit more XP that you don't in any way need.
It might as well be a fucking VN. Fuck, I wish it were a VN, because at least that way there'd probably be 2D tits to look at and some Japanese VAs making their I'm-being-murdered sex noises, which could only be an improvement on Sheena Easton's vocal performance.
And on a similar note, Fallout was fucking mediocre in everything except atmosphere. Stonekeep was a much better Interplay offering of the same time period that is sadly largely ignored in favour of regurgitated memes about power armour and dialogue checks. 'Muh choices and consequences'. Congratulations, your game passes the barest degree of logical consistency; if you kill or fuck over a bunch of people in a faction, they'll dislike you. What excitement! What thrills! What insightful commentary on the human condition!
>>14526336
>Jagged Alliance 2
Jagged Alliance 2 is actually a great example of one that gets right what the above two games fuck up: It's an exciting game full of robust systems and deep mechanics (particularly if you play 1.13) that is enhanced by the writing, rather than desperately propped up by it like some sort of hideous videogame version of Weekend at Bernie's.
The tongue-in-cheek style is vital for keeping a light tone; we certainly don't need a maudlin reminder that 'War is hell!' every five minutes. It's unobtrusive enough so that tense gameplay situations aren't undermined, but at the same time each character feels like they're differentiated by more than simply the numbers on their stat sheet. If a squadmate dies, I don't want a by-the-numbers overwrought cutscene where the game tries to evoke some sense of emotion in me, like I care about anything beyond losing my investment. It's a fucking game. Just give me a cheesy catchphrase to take the sting away of losing my painstakingly-trained 88 Marksmanship Igor and let me get back to work.

Yooka-Laylee.
I listened to DKvine hype this game to unreal levels during ts development and I even backed it myself (enough to get a free copy). I loved Banjo-Kazooie back in the day and wanted more. But the final game is an underwhelming mess.
It must be a case of backer denial. So many reviews saying it's great, but it's not. It's just mediocre. For a Kickstarter Unity game it's fantastic, but as the spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie they always implied, it sucks.
The camera is sill awful. Even when the camera is fixed it could have a better position that's easier to read the action with. The levels are huge and boring. Nothing to do in them unless jumping through hoops is your idea of fun. Every part of a level looks like every other part. Characters are copy-pasted in, unlike a character that would seem to live there. The gameplay is plagued with bad design choices. The energy bar does nothing but make you wait between action. The flying mechanic makes the platforming a joke. There's many challenges that aren't explained and the logical solution won't work. For instance, there's about 3 different clear blocks in the game with no easy way of telling them apart except for trying every move. Enemies are a pain to deal with and don't even drop health consistently so you will just avoid them. You can't jump when sliding which causes many deaths, and if you die you respawn at the last exit, even if it's far away from your destination. Rextro's games include a flappy bird clone and Hurdle Hyjinx is broken. Levels seem built with random pieces instead of the architecture actually helping you find stuff. The marsh level is monochromatic and boring. The final boss takes 25 tries because you cannot avoid taking damage during the 4th phase and good luck with the 5th with your energy bar. There's some tacked-on sequel bait at the end to satisfy all the LOREfags that care more about story than gameplay. The problem is the entire game wasn't told or expressed in a cohesive fashion beforehand so there's no build-up for the next one. Signposts would rather mention a Kickstarter backer than offer hints on how to solve a puzzle.
In summary, the game was rushed, had a tiny budget, and it shows. Even then, the game had problems that would not need more money to avoid had it been developed right. I'm just some anonymous jerkoff that apparently should be getting a salary as a games designer because even I saw the flaws. But it's too late, the game is out, and I'm back to playing with the bear and bird instead.

The problem with "overrated games" threads (intended or otherwise) is that they all-too-easily open the gates of bait posts. For example, a beloved game or franchise is guaranteed to be posted in threads like these - not for the sake of discussion, or for actual criticism, but simply for the sake of making people angry.
And what is there to be had with such an all-encompassing template thread? Maybe the occasional quip or sharp observation from an anon who will be ignored in favor of "DARK SULS IS 4 CASULS" and the 585843 replies to it?

Yes, they're total Rare fanboys so they bought the Xbone and XboneX. After I played Y-L I realized I had been listening to a couple of numales who probably took pics of their consoles with their gaping maw in the picture as well. Immediately unsubscribed and felt like a fool for listening to their fan squealing all this time.

Link to the Past is fucking atrocious, ruined the Zelda series more than 2 did, and it took until fucking BotW to try and fix that shit. And on that topic, BotW isn't even that great, certainly not like every critic and fan would have you believe. It's not as shit as /v/ makes it out to be either. If I had to guess, it's either because /v/ plays more shitty open world games and therefore have a better point of comparison than me, or /v/ is just a bunch of retards. Given how much LttP dick people on here suck, I'd say it's the latter. Basically BotW is about as bad as Wind Waker is, for basically all the same reasons.I'd rather play both of those before I try to fucking start Twilight Princess, and I'm not even that much in the mood do replay them so that says a lot.

First off, you don't put points into INT. That's not character building. That's creating the perfect character from the outside to bulldoze the game. And yes, inconsequential. As in it hardly matters what stats you build up because the game is very short with extremely low mandatory content that is trivial to complete.

Correct. You make a character at the start of the game and aside from those rare one-time events in each game to add one or two extra points, you never do shit with INT after that. That's not character building.

SoC is remembered because of its atmosphere and general weirdness. And also because it was the debut of the series. Most STALKER fans will agree that CoP is the superior game.

TES is a pretty awful series gameplay wise though. Even Morrowind, widely claimed by nostalgiafags to be the best in the series (which it is) is painfully unimpressive in the gameplay department. The one saving grace these games have is the roleplay potential, something that Skyrim pays little or no respect to.

Recently picked up the N-Sane trilogy for nostalgia's sake and because I never played Warped. Holy shit, now I remember why I never finished the first game as a kid.
They did something right by not going full 3-d in terms of direction for demanding precise platforming, but the Crash remake is unfairly scrutinized in hit detection. You can't even nudge the edge of a turtle's tail with your shoe without dying, fair enough, or touch an enemy in the split-second warmup it takes to start Crash's spin animation, but if the game expects me to pay that much attention to the character's actual models for hit detection, then it turning around and declaring that the flip Crash does during a jump didn't actually shorten my hitbox enough to not just get caught on an edge, then the nitpick feels more like a cheap shot then any actual attention to detail for the sake of detail.
The levels, or rather almost the entire game is full of backtracking, and not the fun (active) kind, since you need to complete entire stages perfectly on backtracks to get some level gems, which gets incredibly frustrating for going into levels since it feels like I'm being punished for trying to explore them the first time around only to find out that it was all a waste because I didn't complete some level I haven't unlocked yet perfectly. Seeing the extra ten seconds of Crash/Coco getting pelted with crates all because of this doesn't get old quickly either, really!
Also a minor gripe, but not allowing exiting out of a level on death is a bullshit time waster along with not being able to skip the introduction for the base collection's title screen. If the game's going to be difficult and demand some stages be completed without dying, again, fair enough, but those extra seconds lost build up, and if they're worried about players abusing pause for death, then there's better ways they could have handled it, especially in today's day and age for fast processing.
The game doesn't always feel, for lack of a better term, "honest" in how control is handed to the player either. I remember some of the early boar sections killing me because the track radically shifting and making the direction I was pressing in order to avoid some upcoming enemy turn into a suicide steering. Hell, during the Ripper Roo fight the game will outright lock your input after beating him while you're standing, which seems all fine-and-dandy unless you happen to be standing on a TNT crate, which just means that the game kills you for beating the boss.
The worst part is that you can't even blame it on bad aging since it's a complete remake instead of a remaster. I almost don't want to finish this game, let alone the trilogy just because of how much bullshit is being thrown out there. The only reason I haven't is because I'm hoping that there's something I'm just missing about it.

Inb4 some retarded nigger says that any game in the series could go on this thread. I'd go so far as to say that Kingdom Hearts 2: Final Mix, if it weren't for one bug that justifies Reflect being OP, would be a perfect game in terms of gameplay.
This game, though… holy fuck, where do I begin…
>The higher emphasis on movement and the flowmotion mechanic means you can get by most of the maps by just bouncing off of the walls and avoiding any platforming gimmicks the game has to offer
>This is accidentally rewarded because you'll trigger fewer encounters, and likely find a decent number of treasure chests along the way
>Since movement has a higher emphasis, and to prevent flowmotion from just being an escape button, enemies more often will either knock you back or stun you, which gets annoying very quickly
<This actually caused me to fall out of the map in the Hunchback of Notre Dame's world, since a bunch of mooks too weak to do anything just stunlocked me into a ledge under part of a wall and just kept pelting me until I fell out. The game resets your position at where you spawned, or at least did in my case.
<For anyone curious, the background of the floor of the map is blue. In fact, you can see it from a break in the map in the same world if you look along the ground right outside the wall in some sections of the graveyard. Even for KH 1 I have never seen a mapping error this fucking blatant and avoidable
>This design flaw is mostly fixed by either placing obnoxious invisible walls in places where you otherwise could visually pass with ease (the Fantasia world), by making the area closed off so that the floor doesn't actually matter, or by making the room so obnoxiously big that you're going to spend a solid 10 minutes exploring it for everything, not counting time spent on encounters. There is no balance.
>Game locks your commands during flowmotion to only do flowmotion attacks. Dodge-rolling can trigger flowmotion attacks. Dodging a boss's attack while prepping a cure only to have the character's foot touch a curb, turn purple, then die is not fun
>Julius is a shit special boss
>Lea gets a Keyblade. In addition to being a complete asspull for fanservice, this completely destroys an already strained story, since this means he either spontaneously got the power, or he inherited it from Ventus, and Sora didn't, which would mean Sora either spontaneously got it, and or he inherited it from Aqua, which would mean for that scene in KH2 when Kairi wielded a Keyblade that wasn't Riku's… see where I'm going with this? Somewhere along the line now somebody just invented the ability to wield the Keyblade, which just raises questions of why Xehanort didn't just do this to create two armies and replicate the Keyblade War as it occurred in Kingdom Hearts χ shortly after forming Organization XIII, right before the first game started, saving himself a lot of planning, getting it done sooner, and without anyone standing in his way. The story shouldn't toss in fanservice that just reminds me that this shit is written as they go along.
>Sleep doesn't actually do anything except reduce the amount of time you have to play as the current character. There is literally a status effect that makes you play the game less.
>Who doesn't love looking up guides online for how to not waste some finite resources in order to make party members?
>…Or seeing which party members offer abilities you don't have yet as opposed to just repeats of the same screening effects you got from from some E-ranked com-mon.
>…But not before running into a crowd of mooks that will juggle you to death just so you don't lose that partner forever because the game decided that escort missions were onto something
<The game expects you to bond with your animals and rewards you for it, but demands that you also mass-create them if you want to unlock all abilities in the game. I can only pet so many virtual goats before I stop caring.
>This game implies that we will never get a cool Frollo fight

Save for chain of memories, since that was the only one actually based around cards and decks. The deck loadout system was the worst part of every Portable KH game. You were always limited to what you had in your deck rather then just being able to just use any specific magic or an ability when you felt you needed it.
Thankfully it seems that the Deck system was only used due to the limitations of portables, and it won't be returning for KH3 or at least if the KH3 gameplay is the similar to the 2.8 gameplay.

Fuck off with this stupid meme.
2's story was as fucking stupid as far as the series goes (the only one that had a good one was CoM), but in terms of gameplay Final Mix is a damn masterpiece. The flow of combat is dynamic with the magic and drive system giving you a variety of ways to take down crowds of enemies depending on your playstyle. You want to quickly just wipe out entire rooms of weak mooks? Wisdom Form into Magnet and Thunder. Have some dude that's going to survive that? Change your combo to just be three finishers, then go into Master form. Bosses punishing combo too much? Change it to two hits and two finishers, then focus your equipment defensively.
The actual control is fun as all hell, giving enough freedom to fly around the map with ease while not going full retarded parkour like DDD.
There's only three real problems with the actual fucking gameplay: Reflect is OP, Lexaeus's data fight is bugged, and some of the bosses are just buffered with too much health for how simple they are.

I agree with this one in a non-baity mode. I don't know what I was expecting since it was my first Hitman but I felt it was too railroaded, the accidents were unfun in many levels (involving heavy waiting) and there was an over-reliance on disguises even when it wouldn't fly in a normal situation (dress as a bartender -> all other bartenders act like you belong there, even though they should know themselves). I don't know, I might try the new one someday but I just assumed that it wasn't my cup of tea, a shame because I love the thematical aspect of being a Hitman and even read many books about it but the game seemed like a caricature of the office.
