15 Most Overrated Video Games Since 2000

1. Fallout 4

Bethesda are ambitious, yes. They're incredibly innovative, absolutely. They make good games... yes, but with a huge caveat - you're guaranteed to see tons of bugs popping off at any given time.

"It wouldn't be Fallout without the bugs" fans say, "It would lose something if it was scaled back", they counter.

Well, yes and no. Point being, Fallout 4 indicated to the populace that Bethesda aren't always going to be all that bankable. Think of the major step up from Morrowind to Oblivion, and then Oblivion to Skyrim - every single component was revamped and tweaked. And better yet, Skyrim ran very well, especially considering when it was released and what hardware it was on.

But Fallout 4... man. I always come back to the fact that there's nothing you could sell it on, that Fallout 3 didn't already nail. Because the hook certainly isn't the settlement-building, which granted, people have built impressive structures out of, but it forever feels incredibly unwieldy and counterintuitive.

The shooting was better, the pacing was way worse. The graphics were better, but the world didn't feel all that inviting. Settlements and crafting were in... but you NEVER needed to use it.

Swings and roundabouts, peaks and troughs, Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. I'm still a Fallout 3 guy.
