I don't like games that aren't fun.

Is this the "objective" fun, or the "subjective" fun? Because YOU KNO the latter doesn't matter where hot opinions are concerned.

There's no such thing as "objective" fun. ;)

Majora's Mask is considered "overhyped" now? I thought it was a game that was always overshadowed by OoT, and undeservedly so.

Hmm, some of more common ones are already listed. I'll put Minecraft out there. It has its own annual convention for crying out loud.

Do you think the game deserves less than that, or not?

Another one I forgot, and possibly the most overhyped of all.

Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

The game I over hyped the most was also Majoras Mask. I love it to death but 2000 when I got it I was expecting it to blow my mind like OOT did. Sadly it could not live up to OOT. I hated the dungeons so much. I think the game is a masterpiece though and is my 2nd fav Zelda game.

but game i consider overhyped by others is Last of Us. its barely a game at all. its the same thing as any other 3rd person shooter. realistic brown and gray borefest.

Agreed. Any time it tried to get gamey and throw some gameplay your way it was a cliche killbox with cover gunfight encounter or shitty fetch the wooden pallet sequence. The stealth was almost guesswork at times against zombies, and non existent against the dumb human AI. People go apeshit over how you need to hoard supplies and stuff, I played the entire game on the hardest difficulty you can start one and about 2/5 of the game on the hardest difficulty and never had the issue. Thankfully it had incredible MP, but the SP would definitely crack my top 5 as Most Overhyped. Others:

Halo 3
MGS2/4
Super Mario Galaxy
GTA IV
