Because most of you failed to nominate a candidate. And if we don't put any restrictions at all then it's impossible to have any kind of serious discussion since any game could qualify for being overhyped. 

Well first, your topic doesn't ask for a candidate.  It asks a yes or no question.

Secondly, the way you phrase it makes the candidate an optional answer.

People simply saying "No" covers your threads premise and your threads title.  It also covers the structure with which you put together your first post.

Think of metacritic like modern parlamentary democracy. It's the symbolic and representative voice of the people no? And it's really hard to measure public opinion in any other way. But we can try, did you know that user score was LOWER on Destiny than the critics? 6.4 compared to 76 on the PS4. 

Yeah but restricting the discussion to your false reality, isn't any way to have a serious discussion about it either.  You've been told that the data you are using to draw your conclusion from is faulty (and it's not just an opinion, Destiny 1 did not cost 500 million), but you neglect to actually factor that into the discussion.  So, again, what's the point?

This is why I am asking people to actually read. Critical reading involves finding implied or other meanings in text. My OP clearly states "what can top Destiny"? That statement is calling for nominations and counter-proposals. 

Some sensible ones have included Daikatana and Titanfall. That's what I am asking for. Not, "I can think of a million games that disappointed. "

No, your OP clearly states "I think Destiny was overhyped and I am unwilling to hear that anything else can top it.  Do you agree?  If you don't please pointlessly debate me on why because I would love to try to tear down your response with non-factual information"

>voice of the people

>ign,polygon and kotaku

using the examples of the last post:

Ign gave 10 to gta 4,

89 to FF13

90 to dark souls 2

ask what people think about ff13 and then compare with this score if you still think they represent public opinion.

Is the game truely that awful II've yet to play it but the game looks pretty fun to me, perhaps it doesn't lives up to the hype, but seriously wwhich game nowadays does. Spoiler alert Bloodborne will be the next victim halo and uncharted will follow. Word of advise to enjoy gaming more don't believe the hype and think with your brain instead of letting opinions on the internet cloud your judgement.

Oh and the new contender would obviously be driveclub while it's racing mechanics, visuals and sounds are great we can only see the flaws so driveclub is the most overhyped game.

(Not excusing server problems, but judging like this results in driveclub being the worst (racing) game ever. While it clearly isn't)

"Yes, it's true: Activision is spending half a billion dollars on Bungie's Destiny. Yes, that's true despite Bungie's statement that, "the budget for Destiny, including associated marketing costs and pizza Wednesdays, is nowhere near 500 million dollars." And that's because, when Activision head Bobby Kotick revealed that gargantuan number earlier this year, he was speaking to the entire franchise, not just this September's game.

"That number has been widely misinterpreted as a production number for the first game," Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg explained in an interview today at Gamescom. "That number is an all-inclusive number that's several years worth of investment, including marketing and several games, and a lot of up front investment in things like engines and tools that will be able to be used for years to come."
