And as an aside, can we either change the title of the thread or clarify what 'overrated' means? The reality is that a lot of people here are spouting nonsense, where they are treating this not as a thread about overrated games, but are treating it as a thread about popular games they dislike.

Example, overrated game: Halo.
Example, popular game I don't like: Horizon: Zero Dawn

The difference is that Halo is a mediocre game that gets praise, while Horizon: Zero Dawn is a game that truly does deserve all its praise but I just couldn't get into. Tried playing it a half dozen times and I didn't personally get into it, but could barely think of any REAL flaws (as in, actual problems with the game, not just personal preferences.)

Almost everyone in this thread is just listing off popular games they don't like without reason or explanation. Maybe I'll actually make a thread about precisely that!

dood... you're opinion ain't a fact. Different people like different things than you and think different things are overrated, deal with it.

Exactly! Words have meaning, and people are using the word wrong. This thread has become "popular titles I dislike" as opposed to "Overrated games". The terms have different meanings, and it's a difference between objectivity and subjectivity.
