15 Most Overrated Video Games Of The Decade (So Far)

4. Destiny

You wouldn't think a game so culturally lambasted and downright despised by almost everyone you mention it to would be 'overrated', but try telling that to the people who've literally put upwards of five hundred hours in - alongside the saps who keep hoovering up DLC as they try in vein to justify the time invested so far.

Destiny is a filing cabinet of a game; the structure of combat and overall graphical fidelity is phenomenal - but everything else from the story to the complete lack of content across the board makes for a "Pay to play" framework Bungie are positively milking right now.

Seriously, have you ever talked to a Destiny fan? They're like lapsed addicts, forever craving more yet knowing they shouldn't. They justify the game through the most asinine things like "Well the skyboxes are gorgeous" or "You can see the detail on your enemy's gun" as if such maddening statements are supposed to help the rest of us sleep at night.

The fact Bungie and Activision got away with this completely business-motivated practice is insane, and you can expect to see Destiny listed everywhere from every 'Most Disappointing' to 'WTF Happened During Development' list possible because of it.
