Most Overrated Video Games of 2013

The Top Ten
1 Call of Duty: Ghosts

I just think they need to stop. They have no ideas left so the give you more bull-crap to deal with. Call of Duty is a done game, you are a guy from the military, how are you going to fight ghost?! CDG is mostly just bull on a CD that you put in a console and hope it turns out to be good.
Do a different story since this is over, no game is so good that people buy it because of the name and say honestly it's magically "better than the last." What is the story anymore anyway?

Oh please, same copy paste every single year. Just like the 300 Call of Duty before this. As I always say about this franchise: You play one, you play all. Call of Duty has destroyed the video game industry. This franchise is SO overrated. Easily most video game franchise ever. And the fanbase. Don't even get me started on that.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE VIDEO GAME CRITICS! Activision is notorious for paying them off so they'll give their games a good name for launch, just so people will buy them. Honestly, go on Metacritic and you'll see what I mean. User reviews are so much more honest, but the fact that Ghosts got away with a 3/5 rating overall made me hate the game even more.

When judging a game series you have to look at the new things that the latest entry adds to the franchise to try and improve from the previous entry, year in and year out Call of Duty adds nothing to itself but another dumb campaign mode and the same online play as previous installments.
$60 for the same game every year, and people buy it.

2 Grand Theft Auto V

Grand Theft Auto V Jammed so much in that its ridiculous. It's a good game, but the Story mode is the only fun part of it. And Considering its hailed as some sort of Sandbox King its just retarded that 70% of the game is Mini-games and Retarded Side missions with retarded characters in a retarded city. Music was good though, also they got rid of just about everything horrible about Grand Theft Auto iv. Saints Row IV is much better in the sense that it understands how to remain a video game rather than a glorified box of mini-games.

Haters Gonna Hate. Grand Theft Auto 5 was an Amazing game, but was incredibly over hyped and quite disappointing. This Game had Such High Expectations and was incredibly anticipated. The Trailers looked amazing. The Radios Seemed Amazing (NWA, Kendrick Lamar. What more could you ask for... ) and the Graphics looked incredible for a Current Gen Console.

When the Game Came through the Post on September 17th I was very Excited. The Install was Surprisingly fast for Gigabytes and I was so Excited. I Managed to Complete the Game In 4 Days and was content with my experience so far, but much had to come. Grand Theft Auto Online had 1004 (figure of speech) problems for the first 3 months and there were many overrated aspects of the Games which I feel is necessary to address...

1. Graphics: Although the Graphics of the Game were Fantastic they looked like an incredible downgrade to the Screenshots, or the Screenshots were edited. Textures looked much worse, there are jaggies ...more

I agree. It's put these gamers into horrible social conditions and then that game has taken over their lives. If you want to know why it sucks, go watch Pivotkid85's video of why it sucks. I hate how many updates on Grand Theft Auto online there are, especially the new ones. Why? It's not on the Xbox 360 and PS3. I use the PS3. Thank you , you are everything that's wrong with society. I hope your headquarters goes bankrupt.

Do people even know what overrated means? Because it seems like people are just saying "Oh, everybody likes this games, so it's overrated." If the game was nothing special, it would be understandable, but this game is superior to Grand Theft Auto 4 in every aspect! Putting it in this list is an insult.

3 The Last of Us

Its not that good, sure its visually beautiful but the stoy is weak and incredibly cliche, the gameplay is no different to any other 3rd person game, forgetable characters, lots of segments where you are just wandering around doing nothing, looking at a giraffe seriously? Oh and it is incredibly predictable (especially the ending and Joel and ellie's relationship), I enjoyed it but it is nothing compared to Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution and Grand Theft Auto V.
People say the were crying at this game? They are babies.

I wish the would've focused more on the gameplay. The cinematics were great, almost too great... Sometimes they would be so long and detailed it would get annoying, The time I spent watching the cutscenes felt longer then me actually playing the game.

Great game! You get emotionally attached to Ellie and The last confrontation nearly caused me to rip my controller in half because I felt helpless and thought it was all over...

Last of us has a great story! I wish it was just a book Vs. A video game because the graphics, voice acting and ESPECIALLY gameplay is overall... Meh.
This is just my opinion, eh.

4 Minecraft

Guys, how is mc so overrated? Sure it's build, build, build but there's more to that. sure on some versions nothing exciting but on pc, the servers are amazing. there's so many to choose from and they have different stuff like survival games, Call of Duty etc. also survival can be fun- with mods or/and maps srsly- how can people hate this game? P.S. ik some of you only think its just overrated but mc is one of the best games ever

This is just way to overrated. Would you like to know how many videos of Minecraft are on YouTube? 500 VIDEOS! Every time I go to YouTube, BOOM there are lots of Minecraft videos. People who love Minecraft so much should move to fun and underrated SimCity 4.

It isn't even funny how overrated Minecraft is. It's just a game where you place square bricks. I never liked Minecraft (despite my friends trying to get me to play it). Everywhere I go it's Minecraft this and Minecraft that.

This is overrated but I DON'T CARE! many people download this game and every time I went on YouTube...BOM! millions and millions of YouTubers record this game every second! this must be number 1!

5 Tomb Raider

This just spits on the old TR as much as possible. None of this crap happened, according to the old games. I thought Tomb Raider was too good for the latest fads. (The latest fad is origin/survivor stories) According to TR:LR, NONE OF THIS HAPPEND. If you want a good TR game, get legend, 3, 2,4, and Anniversary.

Drowning in silly, infuriating QTEs, gives no respect to L. Croft, super boring, awkward in a dozen ways.

6 SimCity

Feels like a Facebook game..

7 God of War: Ascension
8 BioShock Infinite

Terrible, overrated and demented. My friends are overrating this like hell and it just goes off the plot not linking it to the previous BioShock games.

It was a good game with some of the best twists I've ever seen but the ending confused me

Those game is terrible, sick, twisted, demented, racist and sexist. I mean come on!

What?!? If anything, this game is underrated! Awesome game in every way!

9 Destiny

It's underrated

10 Pikmin 3

I respect your opinion. I'm not that big into Pikmin, but seriously, that was a powerful move for Nintendo to create Pikmin!

How is it overrated, it is one of the best Wii u games but not overrated

The Contenders
11 The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
12 Pokemon X

This game is a bit like gta5 of the last of us. Its incredible, but very overrated.

This is too hated to be overrated.

Y is better than X

13 Earthbound Wii U

It has the worst graphics for a game in 2013 flappy bird looked better than earthbound

The people who think this is overrated haven't played the original earthbound

This game is a remaster of a game from 1994. And graphics don't make a game bad.

Why is it a best seller it is not that good like mega man 6

14 Super Mario 3D World

Actually, I believe that Super Mario 3D World is generally superior to Super Mario 64.

I give Super Mario 64 an 8/10 (7/10 for the DS/Virtual Console version and 9.5/10 for the N64/iQue Player version). They were way too positive and innovative to not like.

I give Super Mario 3D world a 9/10 stars. It was innovative, powerfuly moving and its presentation is extremely sharp like its gameplay. I will never use some specific Mario characters (they are Princess Peach, the Sprixie Princesses and Plessie) as an excuse to hate this Modern Mario masterpiece.

This game isn't OVERRATED! People keep saying super Mario 64 is the best, which is not, so this is actually underrated! I'm not aaying it's the best game ever, don't worry.

Hey, HeavyDonkeyKong. Super Mario 64 is much better than Super Mario 3D World.

How is this and tomb raider overrated?

15 Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games

When Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, Amy Rose and Blaze the Cat are together in a Mario & Sonic crossover instead of all Mario/Sonic characters of each gender, the game get automatically lauded even though it does not make the game. Plus Knuckles the Echidna seems to be looking as Princess Peach because she is the only competitor whom he is behind. There are way better aspects in the M&SatOG series for sure, such as how elite all the athletes are.

16 Temple Run 2
17 Battlefield 4

I thought the level design on this was awesome and the campaign had THE BEST graphics at the time. The problem is I couldn't play the damn thing until they mostly fixed the bugs a year later!

How is this not. #1?! This game isn't even finished! It's the most disappointing game I have ever played

"Call of Duty is overrated, it sucks! "wow, real original guys

Just cause it has one of the best graphics doesn't len its the best! There are way better war games

18 Watch Dogs

Abysmal pc port, crappy storyline that is way too hypocritical, and a dull ass character. And to think I was looking forward to this.

Wouldn't say its overrated, just a letdown for all the hype given.

You are joking this game is awesome

I played some of it and its great!

19 Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time

Overrated? Okay, Right! So Do You Have Any Proof Of That. Yeah! I Didn't Think So.

20 Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag

Game was way over hyped for a seemingly never ending circle of running around and sailing ships very disappointing for a game as popular as AC is.

It has very bad story the worst story in gaming history

Nah it deserves its praise

21 Sonic Lost World

This is the most underrated game along with Pokemon mystery dungeon series both got the same scores

It's the sonic 2006 of this generation... well, maybe not THAT bad, bu the controls are flawed and the game is EASY!

This needs to be number 1. It got spared with 5/10 gamespot review when it should have been given a 0/10.

Everything Sonic Nowadays Sometimes Sucks And Is Overhyped

22 Flappy Bird

Pewdiepie released his Flappy Bird video in 2014, so yeah.

It's pewdiepie's fault it's popular

Should Be Number One

23 Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

How THIS game is considered one of the best Hack n slashes of all time BAFFLES me

No this game deservves its rating because it's an awesome slasher

No this game deservves its rating because it's awesome slasher

24 FIFA '14

EA just spits out the same game every year, but with slightly improved graphics. There's also roster changes, but they're kind of pointless in a game like this. Once, EA just copied the exact same FIFA for the next FIFA!

Still soccer. Still FIFA. Just like Call of Duty, it's not different from the rest.

Same as all the others

25 Saints Row IV

It sucks sorry GET A LIFE GO Mario

I'd say its underrated
