Do you mean over-hyped as in the hype being disproportionate to the quality of the game or just the game that will be rammed down our throats the most regardless of quality?

I personally view overhype as a game that doesn't meet expectations based on the hype behind it. For example Destiny was predicted to have a metascore in the high 80s to low 90s, but it ended up with a 76. Thus, it was overhyped; the final product didn't live up to the expectations it had.

That's a hard comparison as it looks like it may end up as game of the year.

There was a lot of initial counter-opinion at launch, a lot of people wanted it to fail...but it's still growing at a good clip and is surprising a lot of people who actually think it's a 76. Personally, I haven't played it, and it doesn't seem my style...but I could be wrong because I'm listening to the nay-sayers as well. It's not until the past couple days where destiny on social media seems to be growing larger and more positive.
