Erm... what?
This thread was made to discuss specific games, right? If you want to make a wide, sweeping generalization about a genre that disagrees with the fanbase, that would be more "unpopular opinions."
Putting it here seems more like trying to start a fight to get 150 responses. That's all.
this thread was clearly made for people to get trolled and mad.

I meant that ET was overrated for 1982. By the company that released it, the marketing team that ran it, & the parents who bought it. It being a kids' game around Christmas, it was largely bought by parents.
It actually sold quite well, released December 1982. Enough to be deemed a success, selling 1.5 million units. The problem was that it cost upwards of $125 million, in production costs. 1982 dollars, not 2013. Today, sure, nobody thinks it's a good game. But plenty of people bought it.

Again i'd have to say you mean over-hyped. Overrated is when people not associated with the making of the game (and have actually played the game) rate it highly. Parents didn't rate it they just bought it as a gift.

Definitely Black Ops 2. And a lot of other COD games as well.

Er honestly Kat that wasn't my intentions and frankly, I didn't know such a badge existed And furthermore, I do not care about it hahaha. True yes, what I said could of easily of went into the Unpopular Opinion thread but it fit into exactly what I was talking about at the time. I don't know (but can easily assume it did happen) if members in the past have done what you think I am doing in the past but I promise you that is not the case. If I made you think that way, I'm sorry.
And while I do enjoy trolling people Snapple and Kat, I'd rather do it in a game than on a message board.
That being said, I have worlds to invade and hopes to crush in Dark Souls.

My list:
-GTA IV
-CoD (only one I ever really liked was WaW)
-LA Noire (that game was mega shit)
-RAGE (can never bring myself to play that game for more than maybe 30 mins at a time)
-Borderlands
-Dead Space (the game moves too slow for me)
-Silent Hill (same reason as Dead Space. I don't want suspense I wanna kill stuff)

I got it for free and tried it for like a hour. Within that one hour I probably sliced up like 3 mutant alien thingies. The time/kill ratio was too spread out for me. Takes too long to get to the action and fun.

really? maybe first chapter its like that but it definitely picks up, and even in sequels theres tons of more action then the original.
maybe give it another shot?

I might. One of these days. I work and sleep to much for all this now. I've been stuck on the same boss on FFXIII for like 4 days because I turn it on and get too sidetracked doing other things and just turn it back off. ._.
I think I still have it downloaded on my xbox.

I guess you're right. Video games weren't actually "reviewed" back then, so I'm sure some people thought it was (okay), at the time.
I never related to the massive appeal of the Ultima franchise. Pretty much all the games in that series, and even the 1st MMO ever- Ultima Online... was never a fan of that isometric view, in the later ones-- or in isometric view games, in general.

My list (at least what I can think of off the top of my head):
-Anything Call of Booty related
-Duke Nukem Forever
-Lollipop Chainsaw
-Anything past GTA Vice City
-Madden & FIFA games (Its the same damn game every year lol...)
....other than that, I can usually find something enjoyable out of pretty much any game I play : P
