Top Ten Most Over-Hated Video Games/Franchises

The Top Ten
1 Call of Duty (Franchise)

Now, before the flamewarriors come, hear me out: Call of Duty was, once upon a time, an IMMENSELY overrated game series. And the fans? Yeah, they could be annoying. However, nowadays, if you so much as compliment these games, you're labelled a fanboy and are given 1,000 reasons why the series isn't good. I don't even LIKE the Call of Duty games much, but it's just become such an overhated franchise that it deserves top spot.

To be honest, I'm okay with this franchise. The reason why people are hating on this because of the fandom. By the way, every fandom gives the franchise a bad name.

The franchise was good, but Call of Duty went bad when ghosts came out and the last good Call of Duty game was BO2

Activision is to blame for milking the franchise, pretty much ever game from COD1 to Ghosts is good

2 Sonic Lost World

It's not perfect, but honestly, it does actually get a lot right. I'd like to see another Sonic game try some of the same ideas again in the future. With improvements, of course.

Should be number 1. It is one of, if not MY FAVORITE Sonic Game and gets hate for dumb reasons. How do I know? Watch IGN's review of it.

This game was awesome. So many people hate it because it's a better game than Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto.

I gotta agree with you,sonic lost world is one of my favorite video games,and sonic is my favorite video game character,stop haring sonic for dumb reasons everyone!

3 Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

Yes, anything by Rare as part of Microsoft will be hated by dumb fans for dumb reasons. Nuts and Bolts was a good Banjo game despite not being like it's predecessors, and people still need to get over the fact that Rare is no longer owned by Nintendo (and never will be again).

This game receives all its hate for being different than the last two console games (I said console because they're have been two handheld games released prior to this game). It's really pathetic.

I really don't see where all the hate for this one comes from. It's a good game, really. It's not what you'd expect, but if nothing else, it's pretty good if you give it a chance.

I'm not a fan for this game because it was nothing like the original Banjo Kazooie.

4 Skylanders (Series)

Imagine hating a game over ONE character design. Get it higher.

5 Five Nights at Freddy's (Franchise)

It was a new thing but now it's is just like a boring game and I think that stealth games are better

6 Super Smash Bros. Brawl

This is hated because of the Melee fans.

Who hates Smash? Call of Duty fans?

7 Crash Bash
8 Star Fox Assault

Not as great as the other Star Fox games but still good. Is not worth hating.

Infinitely better than Command.

9 Star Fox Command

This game gets so much hate just because of the story and multiple endings (although I wish it had a true ending), but it is still a solid title with good gameplay and such.

Shouldn't even be on this list. This game deserves all the hate it gets.

10 Paper Mario: Sticker Star

When you really get down to it, most if not all of the hate that Sticker Star gets comes from things that other Paper Mario games have done before. Change the gameplay? Super Paper Mario did it, too. Barebones story? That's the first game in a nutshell. No real reward for regular battles? Due to how the Paper Mario games (and for that matter, the Mario & Luigi games) are set up, you can actually skip most battles in the game and still beat the final boss. It's hard, but not impossible. Bosses that require a specific method to defeat? I dare you to beat the Armored Harriers without using the Yoshi kid. Go on, try it. I can wait...What? You couldn't do it? Shocking. Too much backtracking? I've got two words for you: General White. With all that said, why does Sticker Star, and only Sticker Star, get hate for all of this?

It's the worst of the Paper Mario games, but you could still have SOME fun with it. If they fixed the experience issue, it would be an okay experience.

Guys! You Do Realize This Game Was " Over-hated " For A Reason, Why You May Ask? BECAUSE IT SUCKED!

I Really Didn't Like This Game, I Mean, I Used To Like It But It Gets Boring Really Fast.

The Contenders
11 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

It's not the worst game ever and it doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

No Doubt way better than Wand Of Gamelon

Best game ever.

12 Destiny 2
13 Terraria

*sigh* When will the world realize that Terraria is nothing like Minecraft? Terraria is 2D, Minecraft is 3D. Terraria has humans, Minecraft does not. Terraria uses character customization, Minecraft uses skins. Terraria has 100+ Weapons, Minecraft only has 6. Go hate on a Minecraft clone that legit clones Minecraft!

I honestly love this game.

14 Minecraft

The game itself is good, but the fanbase is arguably the most toxic behind Call Of Duty.

It is messed up game in the world

No Minecraft is overrated.

I love Minecraft.

15 Pokemon Black & White
16 Lollipop Chainsaw
17 Metroid Prime: Federation Force

The game itself is fine, but the main reason it's getting so much hate at the moment is because Nintendo decided to issue a copyright strike on Another Metroid 2 Remake, easily one of the greatest games in the franchise and possibly the best video game remake of all time besides Super Metroid...

and then spotlight this pretty much average-tier spin-off game instead.

It seems like people are hating it because of lack of the main characters. Sometimes things can be different.

18 Hotel Mario

I honestly don't see how it's so bad. Strange and hilariously bad cutscenes help make up for the dull gameplay.

I have to disagree, this game was horrible.

19 Undertale

The hate this game gets is so stupid: The fanbase doesn't kill the game. "BUT IT IS AN EARTHBOUND RIPOFF" the creator loved Earthbound as a kid and got inspired off of it! If every game was original, there would only be three games.

Literally 90% of this game's hate is directed towards it's (admittedly horrible) fanbase and not the game itself. Guys, hate on bad games for being bad games. Not because they're popular or their fans or annoying.

The haters are even more annoying than the fandom now.

The fanbase of this game are annoying

20 Final Fantasy VII
21 Five Nights at Freddy's

This game franchise is fantastic, it has an in-depth story (it's not just about jumpscares) and doesn't deserve what people give it. The creator, Scott Cawthon doesn't care about the money he earns from the games, he donates most of it to charity. A fanbase doesn't kill the official franchise, look at Sonic, they're still going to this day even AFTER Sonic Boom.

Both parts overrated and overhated. The first game was a welcome change to the horror genre, but the fanbase was extremely toxic, the second game was good, and both 3 and 4 sucked. Not sure about Sister Location, but I've heard it was the best FN game in some time.

Fnaf is good, I pretty enjoying the story. But there are so many people hate it because its not a scary horror game. I don't even know why they care. And also, the fanbase sucks

The comments here honestly show why this is on the list. FNaF certainly doesn't deserve more praise than games like Mario, Sonic, Undertale, etc. But it gets so much hate.

22 Fortnite: Battle Royale
23 Mario Teaches Typing

The game is obviously meant for people who need to learn how to type.

24 Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex

This game gets so much unwarranted, undeserved and unfair hatred. Yes, 3 is much better, but half the complaints for this game are either harsh, stupid or hypocritical.

25 Pokemon Shuffle

This game is NOT hated
