Top 10 Video Games With the Most Overrated Storyline

The Top Ten
1 Final Fantasy VII
2 Final Fantasy VI
3 Mother 3

This is my favorite game. The story is sad (its literally around a kid's mom dying), the game is fun, the soundtrack is great, and the characters are great. Please don't judge me for this claim.

I love this game and all, but it it is just so pretentious and is almost completely lacking in any sense of subtlety whatsoever.

4 Cave Story

Same here as with Mother 3.

5 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
6 Earthbound
7 Fallout 3

The player character has barely any effect on the world. He/she is merely a pawn of the game's NPCs who really drive the plot.

8 Five Nights at Freddy's

The theories though. Toy Chica is the dead kid's mom, The Marionette is the dead kid, the father is Scott, Scott is Purple Man, the brother who everyone hates is Bonnie, people quit making idiotic theories!

There's like a million theory's every where and everyday people come out with new ones. The bad thing is is that some of them don't even relate which gets me really annoyed

How the hell is this not number 1? Theories are everywhere for this crap.i bet scott made the story impossible to connect

There's much theories to storylines, but here is NO storyline. Pepole make IDIOTIC theories about storylines like "it's DED FAMILIE (says nonsense) SEE STOOPIDZ?! it's GOT ZTORIELAIN! Game planily overrated and community are cancer. They mostly overrate storyline by imaginning it by themselves.

9 God of War
10 Metroid Fusion
The Contenders
11 Undertale

I'm not denying that this game has a wonderfully charming and beautifully written storyline with amazing twists and turns galore...

but people seriously need to stop treating it like the type of deep, serious and philosophical plot you would see in a game like Xenogears.

The game was okay, but overrated as hell. And the fandom? ABSOLUTELY CANCER. They scream into your ears "UNDERTALE IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD WHOEVER HATES IT DESERVES TO DIE" Like seriously? They need to die just because they have a different opinion from you? I swear, Underrale fans are the worst.

If I hear "papyrus is bae" or "I want to marry sans" I will flip a table. I'm sick and tired of all my friends liking this "best game of all time." The characters are idiots.

12 Borderlands 2
13 The Last of Us

How can you even say that? This is like the perfect game and the storyline is perfect.

14 Halo 4
15 Super Mario Galaxy

The story is great and all but it's definitely not good enough to make the game better than Galaxy 2

16 Sonic Adventure 2

Number one, that's sonic adventure 2 battle, number 2, this game isn't overrated, it's like that because it's literally THE best Sonic game. The plot was amazing. Mario lover and Sonic hater alert :l.

Also, I'm the guy from below, go back to kindergarten who ever put the picture up. You can clearly see the word 'battle' RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE 2

17 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga

As an avid fan of Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story's predecessors, I am aware that this game does have some flaws (such as the fact that some characters are in love with Princess Peach's overly girly voice which is what the first half of this game's story is about besides many other stuff that is heavily/so much more crucial). - The Ultimate Daredevil
