2017 is the worst years because of this!

Worst cuphead fandom out their!

Worst types of people join to this fandom.

3 Minecraft

"B-b-but this isn't a franchise" - It is now thanks to Minecraft: Story Mode!

Anyways, are you really surprised that this is Number 1? Seriously, this is one of the most overrated things in existence. All you do is build stuff for whatever reason at all. This game has spawned so many channels solely dedicated to downloading stupid mods and skin packs then showcasing them. BAH. If I wanted to get a game just to buy mods, I'd get Garry's Mod, a game that has more advanced graphics and a game where you can actually INTERACT with the mod you are in as an actual game instead of just using it to mess around. This game has spawned several mods, skins, youtube channels who put no effort into their trash, way too much merchandise, a story mode spinoff that wasn't very good, and better yet, a MOVIE that will be coming in 1-2 years. Why? There's absolutely no story to this game at all so how can you possibly make a movie about this game? Even the FNaF Movie will be better because AT LEAST ...more

The game is actually really fun to play, until you have to deal with the fanbase. If you say one thing you don't like about Minecraft, they will say, "HOW DARE U SAY THAT MINECRAFT IS THE BEST GAME EVER! ", it's just rude. Everything is not perfect and everything has their flaws. Minecraft is a good game, but its does not mean it's perfect.

Minecraft Story Mode Episode 5 (I forget the name of the Episode) was fanservice trash. All they did was grab semi-popular MC YouTubers and pay them to star in a cliche "Find the murderer" story. I feel like whoever played TorqueDawg paid his way into Minecraft Story Mode, because I have never heard of this guy before in my entire life.

How is this not number one? It's not only the most overrated video game franchise, but it is one of the most overrated things in the world, and do I even need to explain why?

4 Madden

It's EA Sports and typically if you play one game, you've played them all. The only difference that each game offers is team roster changes and Better graphics. Don't give EA money if you have one of these games already because if you have one, you have all of them.

Thank god it's not popular in my country, I can't say the same for FIFA though.

They are way overhyped and it's the same thing every frigging time

How many of these can they make?! I swear there's over 20...

5 Angry Birds

I liked the first game, but I think we all agree that this didn't deserve to become this incredibly popular and well-known franchise. They made 13 sequels of this that are all essentially the exact same game as the first and were all forgettable. Also, why did this franchise get tons of physical games, a movie, and THEME PARK ATTRACTIONS? It's not THAT amazing guys!

I liked the original game but they ruined it by making Angry Birds Star Wars, Angry Birds Transformers and even more crappy angry birds games! What's next, Angry Birds: The Last Airbender? Eh, at least the Stella game was good.

The original is good but then it evolves into 20 remakes of the same game,a movie,and a theme park? What the hell! At least Disney land and Disney World were based off of movies but this is a MOBILE APP!

Don’t get me wrong, I liked the original and the older version of seasons, but the rest are just bad. I haven’t played this in years, and for good reason. Angry Birds memorabilia are everywhere you look. They even made a movie, which was hot garbage. It is definitely over saturated.

6 Fortnite

How is this oversaturated exactly? , it's only one game with 2 modes with 1 is a campaign and the other is co-op battle royale, it doesn't have any merchandise except online they have shirts,

The most overrated game of 2018.

Not even a franchise but if this is here than overwatch and pubg can too

Most overrated game

7 Just Dance

To me, the only good thing to come out in later installments of the Just Dance franchise is motivating people to exercise by dancing. Otherwise, it's the same rehashed formula every year! All they do in every installment of Just Dance is get the latest songs put into the game to dance to! It's nothing special, really. But what pains me the most is how it ALWAYS steals the award for best video game of the year at the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards. It makes me wonder if Ubisoft only continues to make these Just Dance games solely to keep earning those orange blimps annually.

Just as bad as Madden

8 Candy Crush

Like Flappy Bird, I can't stand that this got immensely popular despite being the least creative game ever. It's a ripoff of Bejeweled (a game that is way better), the micro-transactions are dumb, and the insane number of levels is ridiculous. There are also so many spinoffs and ripoffs of this like Cookie Jam and Candy Crush Soda Saga which also take your money.

Guess what? It got a GAME SHOW. I watched the first episode and it sucked. They basically played the same game except added something that forces you to use your muscles.

I don't understand what's so good about this game. I mean, there have been MUCH better games. In fact, almost every game I've played is better than Candy Crush.

Everyone keeps copying it and it got an AWFUL T.V. show that got like a 1.6 on IMDB and had to be cancelled after 9 episodes

9 Skylanders

This is basically the Transformers of the video game world. I used to be obsessed with this series, but I'm never buying another one of these. They release these games YEARLY and completionists end up buying EVERY single skylander!

Skylanders is terrible. It's so stupid. The only people who play these cash cow "games" are 6-12 year old nerds.

6? 6? 6?! Their are 6 games in this series! More so than transformers!

It is not popular anymore

10 Call of Duty

Pretty much the same thing over and over again in the most recent games. They even started to ditch the story mode and focused on multiplayer. They even released Call of Duty Warzone, a battle royal game...

This series gets a lot of hate on here. While I don't hate it COMPLETELY, it's still pretty much the same game over and over again. Infinite Warfare was an exception.

I haven't played much of it but from what I have heard this game used to be good until Black Ops 3 and now Infinite Warfare got horrible ratings while Call of Duty:WW2 got mixed ratings.-DarkBoi-X

I haven't really tried the others, I've only play Modern Warfare 1 to 3 but I just don't like the other games much

The Contenders
11 FIFA

Even after EA switched to the amazing Battlefield engine, it still has bugs that haunted the series for decades, and EA never bothers to iron them out.

They make a FIFA game every year! I don't understand why so many people still buy these.

12 Flappy Bird

I cannot STAND Flappy Bird! It is easily one of the worst games of all time and it only got popular because Pewdiepie played the game! There are so many stolen assets from the Mario games, the hit detection is anger-inducing, and it legitimately makes people insane if they don't constantly play it. Why is it on the list? All of the stupid spinoff games like Trump Dump make it cancerous.

I'll admit I found it addictive back in the day, though I cannot deny that it's pretty terrible. It did not deserve to become this popular; it should have just been left in obscurity like with Dong Nguyen's other games.

In flappy Bird, you do nothing but tap to jump on the piles... This got so many clones. Both this game and the clones suck.

Didn't Flappy Bird get removed from the App store?

13 Clash of Clans

Clash of Clans, Clash of Kings, Clash Royale, this series just won't die. Please get rid of it, it's just another cash cow series that relies on micro transactions to steal your money.

Clash of Clans was decent at first but after awhile I got bored with it and then Clash Royale came out and it went downhill

Clash of Clans isn't very good to be honest. And don't even get me started on how much Clash Royale is overrated.

Pretty much any mobile video game that takes off is oversaturated

14 Five Nights at Freddy's

Obviously it's oversaturated, every game is pretty much the exact same thing. The first game was good and had the creative aspect, but 2, 3, and 4 just repeated the same formula three more times. FNaF World was a joke. Sister Location was the only sequel to actually be halfway decent. This also got loads of atrocious-looking merchandise and it got a book series as well as an upcoming movie. However, I can't hate this franchise because the developer is such a great person and I legitimately liked the first game and Sister Location.

How can such a simple and boring concept of a game spawn 3 sequels. The game isn't even scary besides the ridiculous looking animatronics that are more laughable than creepy. Scott Cawthon must have found that secret formular to an easy cash cow. I like to call this game "baby's first horror game" because it most likely is someone's first horror game.

The fist one was fine the second one was better but then it went downhill

It's just simply trying to survive a whole night avoiding jumpscares and getting killed by animatronics

15 Grand Theft Auto

More like "Overhyped Crime Simulator made just so it could garner controversy" because that sums up this series in a nutshell
Rockstar needs to stop making games for this series. Grand Theft Auto is the Family Guy of video games.

Grand Theft Auto sucks.

16 Rabbids

So these guys get a crossover RPG with Mario but not Sonic. Come on think of the possibilities of a Mario and Sonic crossover RPG. But nope we get left with Rabbids and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

I immediately cringed when I found out that the Rabbids are actually getting a crossover game with Mario. Don't get me started on that Rabbid dressed up as Peach...

I agree with cjwriter1997, why the he'll are they making a crossover with Mario? And why are Mario and Sonic trapped in this never ending Olympic game tournament?

They even had their own show on Nickelodeon, and are getting a crossover game with Mario (no, really)

17 Super Smash Bros.

Seriously did you watched the Smash 4 developement? Every new character got a trailer and tons of screaming fans, they wanted to make this game like the game of god in this way, way that increased the hype like crazy but at the end it was just like the others.

18 NBA 2K

My stupid friends are all in this series now. It's irritating & forceing me to get a PS4 just for 2k17! Thankfully, I got the switch, so I can play 2K18. Yay...

19 Sonic the Hedgehog

Honestly I think that this isn't too oversaturated. For the last three years we have not got one and this year we're getting two games that look really promising to me, especially Sonic Forces. Maybe I'm just saying this because I really love Sonic, but I'm not sure.

Sonic is awesome! Who added him to the list?

Great franchise, horrible fanbase

Worst franchise ever

20 Super Mario Bros.

The franchise is already getting stale. Every "new" Super Mario Bros is either based on SM64 or the original sidescrolling one. And even if Nintendo spices things up, people will dislike it for changing the formula

It was something unique. But now it's just Nintendo's way of making money.

At least it revolutionized gaming

21 The Legend of Zelda

Zelda is my childhood, but some fans are annoying and whiny and says Mario is terrible.

I meant all zelda games but this one popped up first

22 Pokemon Pokémon, abbreviated from the Japanese title of Pocket Monsters and currently advertised in English as Pokémon: The Series, is a Japanese anime television series, which has been adapted for the international television markets. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 1, 1997, in the United States on September 8, 1998.

Let's Go shouldn't have been made, I want Generation 8 already!

Just another excuse for Genwunner pandering

Just watch let's go trailer it really shows

Pokemon Go ruined it

23 The Walking Dead
24 Assassin's Creed

There are a lot of Assassin's Creed games, but the most recent ones are really good. Only Unity and Syndicate sucked.

25 Club Penguin

It's dead now...except for that new Club Penguin 3D Island Game or whatever.
