What's the most overrated game franchise in your opinion

[gugnihr]

引用自 UberFiend：

Sonic The Hedgehog

yeah I said it

There are many bad Sonic games, nobody could deny this fact, but the few good ones are so absoilutely fantastic that the franchise still deserve and always will deserve a lot of respect no matter what.
The first Sonic game is so fantastic that even all alone on its own it would deserve all the popularity this franchise gets.

The most overrated game franchise is undoubtedly the Mario series. Whether it be the original Super Mario Bros. games or the more recent Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. titles, the franchise has been milked for all it's worth and then some. The Mario games are some of the most popular and well-known video games ever created, but that doesn't mean they're actually good. In fact, a lot of the games in the series are downright terrible.

The original Super Mario Bros. games are portly overrated. Yes, they were revolutionary for their time and yes, they are considered classic video games. But that doesn't excuse the fact that they're slow, repetitive, and extremely easy. The graphics haven't aged well either, looking like something you'd expect to see on an Atari 2600 rather than a Nintendo Entertainment System.

Super Mario Bros. 3 is often hailed as the best game in the entire series, but it's really not that great. It's an improvement over the first two games, but it's still plagued by many of the same problems. The level design is often tedious and uninspired, the difficulty is all over the place, and the game is just too short.

The Super Mario World games are some of the most overrated games ever made. The first game is decent, but it's the sequel, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, that's the real stinker. The game is an uninspired mess, with controls that are needlessly complicated, atrocious level design, and a story that makes absolutely no sense.

The New Super Mario Bros. games are some of the most uninspired and derivative games ever made. They do nothing new or interesting, and are just lazy cash-grabs by Nintendo. The games are visually unappealing, with ugly character designs and generic environments. The gameplay is unimaginative and uninteresting, and the games are far too easy.

The Super Smash Bros. games are extremely overrated. Yes, they're popular and have a huge following, but that doesn't make them good. The games are extremely repetitive and lack any real depth or strategy. The characters are all unbalanced and the gameplay is often frustrating. The games are also plagued by terrible lag issues.

The Mario Kart games are some of the most overrated games ever made. Yes, they're popular, but that doesn't make them good. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and the tracks are often unimaginative and uninspired. The item system is completely unbalanced and often leads to cheap and unearned victories. The games are also plagued by terrible rubber-banding AI.

The Mario Party games are some of the most overrated games ever made. Yes, they're popular, but that doesn't make them good. The games are incredibly repetitive, with unimaginative and uninspired minigames. The board game gameplay is tedious and often frustrating, and the game is far too easy.

The Mario series is one of the most overrated game franchises ever. The games are often overrated, popular, but terrible. They're plagued by many problems, such as repetitive gameplay, uninspired level design, and cheap and unearned victories. If you're looking for a good video game, you're better off looking elsewhere.

The only Mario games I would consider overrated are:

Every Mario Kart except the original and DS. Because the power ups are stupidly overpowered and the AIs always throw a damn blue shell on the last half of the last lap of the third race of the cup. Every. Damn. Time. In Double Dash, I had figured out precisely when, because they ruined so many of my attempts.

64. I actually did like this game. It has fantastic movement mechanics. It has some fun levels. And it has aged way better than most 90's 3D gamed. It just wasn't the great thing in the universe ever, or anywhere close to it.

Thousand Year Door: See 64.

Galaxy. I straight hated this game. I could never see where I was about to land, and would fall into a hole. Now, there weren't a ton of places where this was an issue, but where it was, it frustrated me way more than the rest of the game was worth. The other thing was the ball rolling gimmick--having to hold the remote vertically was difficult and/or uncomfortable when I was playing lying on my side on the sofa like a reasonable human does.

Now, on the topic of NSMB... These are totally just the same game over and over and over. To the point that I kinda wonder if the idea is, this one is for people who have never played a Mario game before, and only have this one system.

Now for an underrated Mario game. Mario is Missing! I found the game a lot of fun. It was chill af, and I learned about geography too. Plus, who didn't want to play as Luigi?

I would say Fifa in general, but i can't decide between that crap and the classic Sonic ganes

Nah the first was legit terrible. It's like they decided they needed a gimmick at the last second and tripled the max speed variable without adjusting anything about the game to accommodate.

2, 3 &K, Adventure and Generations were killer though. Adventure 2 and 3D Blast were ok.

[Fragile Waters]

Probably Assassin's Creed.

In my opinion Sonic 2 is really bad, and the first one is much better.
But I agree with you about Sonic 3&K and Generations, I like them a lot too.
My favourite Sonic games are Sonic 1, Sonic Unleashed (which is actually Sonic Adventure 3 in Japan) and Sonic 3&K

Disagree about Mario Kart and Smash but agree with the Super Mario games. I replayed them and realized that they are all way too easy and boring in comparison to the Donkey Kong Country games for example.

Ah I never played Unleashed. But I did really like the level in Generations.

Now you take that back. My Yoshi's Island is one of the best and is overshadowed by its predecessor, Super Mario World.

Level design and mechanics are the opposite of complicated. Swallow enemies and throw them as eggs. I'd say the platforming is moderately difficult on some levels, but Yoshi's gliding saves you in a lot of places. Even the final boss is just literally throwing eggs at him until he dies.

Story isn't complicated either. Stork delivering Mario and Luigi drops them. Yoshi's find Mario. Mario guides Yoshis to Luigi. The end.

[Fostin4]

Halo, just bland and boring.
