9 Over-Hyped Video Games You Were Always Going To Hate

4. Fallout 4

Hollywood is currently undergoing a massive "Fans vs. critics" cultural shift, but we gamers can do it better: Fallout 4.

Never have I seen such a diametrically opposed response than that of Bethesda's latest 'masterpiece'. Critics awarded it Game of the Year after months of positive press, Fallout-diehards naturally soaked it up for being more of the same, but the rest of us? That game was about as forgettable as 1920s VR technology (yes, that was a thing).

Bethesda did try to drop Fallout 4 with only a few months between "It's real!" and "You can buy it!", but it didn't matter.

Fans and gamers alike had built the sequel up to the sorts of heights Half-Life 3 and Shenmue 3 currently has. There was no way it was going to (re)ignite the casual fans' love for the franchise like Fallout 3 did, and whilst critics paraded it around as a "genuine triumph", those who played were left thinking "But what about The Witcher 3?"
