The Zelda games. A pseudo rpg with the same characters/plot repeated over and over again. The name of the series is silly.

I didn't even know Zelda games were considered RPGs. Except the newest one maybe.

Weren't they always considered Action Advetures anyway?

At the risk of sounding like a snob I’ll say most games are overrated, because how crazy hype culture and fanboy outrage is in this industry. I pity the poor soul that dares say something bad about Zelda or The Last of Us. (Both games that I like btw)

On a personal level, I couldn’t get into the Witcher 3. The main draw seems to be the high quality of its sidequests, but I tend to focus on the main quest when playing games and I found it to be pretty average. Nothing spectacular. The combat felt like a poor man’s Bloodborne and I’ll never understand the need of weight limit in a game that wants you to go out and explore.

Honestly that is what I was thinking.  Social media internet etc hypes games so much.

When I had high expectations of games base on the hype i used to get upset when they weren't what I hoped.

Then when I stopped caring about what I expected and what others thought of the game I enjoyed more random games. Kind of like the old days were you had no access to internet and everyone's opinions and you went out on a limb and bought a game that got your attention.

At the end it all comes down to personal taste,

It's always weird to me how the Zelda games get held up as RPGs or put to the scrutiny of RPGs. The original Zelda game wasn't even close to an RPG, and the only reason people associate Zelda with RPGs is because as time progressed the only games with the production values of Zelda games that had a similar setting were RPGs. Even that is a bad comparison though, because Zelda started the idea of having an action game in 3D with a lock on mechanic in Ocarina of Time, it wasn't copying RPGs it was doing something original. Basically the only reason people associate Zelda with RPGs, is because similar adventure games just regressed to the point of obscurity. If there were more games like Zelda, people wouldn't grasp at straws for the term "RPG". 

I did say pseudo rpg, right? Series evolve over time or die out. The majority of the zelda games are much closer to being rpgs than they are to the original games or being a part of the plain ol' action genre. It's not much of a stretch to say they are rpgs. GOW is getting the rpg makeover. I'm not gonna call it a hack and slash.

They're so close to the line ya might as well call them what they are the closest to. Ya can do everything in them that ya can in an official rpg.

Uncharted 3, Fallout 4 and Skyrim they didn't have the x factor their predecessors had and because of it they lacked freshness. I would have given them an 8/10 instead of a 9 or 9.5 out of ten.
