Another thread inspired by one from another forum. Basically, express what you feel gets too much appreciation and what doesn't get enough.
As the first poster here, I'll start. Copy pasting from said other forum because I'm lazy and don't feel like typing a new one.
Underrated: Puyo Puyo. A wonderful puzzle series with wonderful characters. Even if I can't understand what they're saying in most games, their personalities show through in the tone of their voices and the visuals, so I have that reason to watch the cutscenes even in the untranslated releases.
Amitie is my favorite Puyo character. I love her a lot.
It's got more personality than Tetris in my eyes, yet far less of the popularity, Not saying Tetris is bad, just that with that one, if not for Puyo Puyo Tetris, I'd just stick with my old PS2 copy of Tetris Worlds and call it good.
Also, Star Fox Adventures. It isn't a traditional Star Fox installment, yes, though granted, it wasn't supposed to be connected to Star Fox at all. That said, it's a great game in its own right, and I feel Fox himself is at his best with his personality. He's just such a snark, and I love that. I also enjoy this more than most of the Zelda games. Odd, since this is a "Zelda clone," so they say.
Overrated: Most Zelda games. It's time for me to come out and finally admit it. I've been denying it, even to myself, but the truth must come out. I just can't get into the series no matter how hard I try.
To make matters worse, every time I think I finally found one I actually enjoy, something makes it so that I stop the adventure before it's officially over.
Despite this, however, I struggle to call them outright bad. At any rate, the series isn't my cup of tea. It really says something when my favorite one in the series is Hyrule Warriors, which isn't even the typical Zelda experience. I liked that one.
Another overrated title is the movie Frozen. I had no idea what to expect when I first head about it.
My expectations were raised when my brother and sister, who are usually harder to please than I am, enjoyed it and talked it up.
So I saw it when they brought their copy over last year's Easter...it wasn't a bad film.
But it's definitely not the masterpiece it's made out to be. Especially the songs. This is probably the first time the characters' abilities to pull a song out of their asses actually distracted me and took me out of the film rather than enhanced it, or at least did nothing to detract.
The story wasn't bad, but while it did do some thing different, it still felt like a by-the-numbers film to me.
I can see why people like it, though, and again, despite my quips, it was a decent flick. Just don't expect me to put it on a hypothetical "films of the 2010s" list.
