Calling a video game "overrated" is the Godwin's Law of video game arguments. Using it means you have no objective criticism of the game other than "Stop liking what I don't like!" and that your opinion should be promptly discarded.

Good things can be overrated, shit's not boolean.
>>
>>345360054
Except you can consider things you like overrated plenty easily because overrated just means the praise it receives is higher than it actually deserves - it doesn't mean the game isn't amazing.

For example, I think undertale is complete fucking garbage, however I know plenty of fans who aren't part of the tumblr bullshit side of things that think it's overrated because of that side of things. They love the game but it's very much overrated by a community who believes it to be some social agenda pushing masterpiece that's changed everything about the world.

If a video game gets more hype than it deserves and fails to meet those expectations, you have to wonder if said game is good. answer being, probably not

Get off your fucking high horse. If I call something overrated, to me it means that the praise it gets is to much and should receive less because whatever the games does right, it only does right enough to recurve a certain amount of praise, atleast from me.

>>345360353

Hype has nothing to do with being over or underrated because hype is only something that can exist before the product is available, while being over or underrated can only happen after it's out.

Not just to you, that's literally the definition.

Hes right you know, calling something underrated or overrated are subjective terms and not objective.
>>
>>345361120
Well, yeah. No shit. We're talking about opinions here. They're subjective by nature. There's no need to state the obvious.
>>
>>345360054
saying something is "overrated" isn't even an expression of your own opinion but rather expressing that everyone else's opinion is worse than your own which you're too scared to voice

Nope!
It was drawn by a guy on my Discord

>>345362021
I colored it myself. I'm not an artist or anything, and I did post it a few times.

but I'm not at home so I can't post it, sorry.

Let me see if I can find it.

>>345363469
Did you find it?

Something can be overrated if reviewers/critics are paid/incentivised to give it more praise than it deserves. To me, calling a game "overrated" means that official review sites can't be taken at face value. At that point you should rely on word of mouth or demos.
>>
>>345365669
There's a difference between overrated and over-rated.
