Not bad, or awful exactly, but ones that should be less popular.

I can already think of a few.

Mario Kart
Call of Duty
Earthbound/Mother
Pokemon
Mortal Kombat


Anyone wanna add to the pile?

Disclaimer for triggered fanboys: any of the franchises I mentioned or do mention do not mean I "hate" or "despise" the certain series (such as Mario Kart and a few others). I just find them over hyped and that there are better alternatives to these games or that I don't personally find them enjoyable.

Mario Kart, Sonic, Phantasy Star and Zelda are a few that immediately come to mind.

But that said, each of those does have at least one title that I have to admit to really liking even if I generally don't like the others.

I think you mean Majora's Mask.

Crash Bandicoot
Sonic (kinda? I mean...everybody hates on practically every installment since S3&K, but it's still got a rabid fanbase and everyone always keeps screaming for more of it for some reason...)

Disagree when it comes to Smash Bros, but I really do wish they had just kept making more and more MvC3 trailers and never released the game.

The one where Captain America blocks the helicopter was so hype.

Dark Souls, Red Dead, & Elder Scrolls. Couldn't get into any of them & really don't see the appeal.

I'm the exact opposite. I love big open world games like that and can't get into an old school turn based JRPG to save my life. I'll explain why I like the stuff you dislike.

I really enjoy open world games because I enjoy the illusion of finding my own fun in the game. The quests can be good and involving, but the setting is usually what pulls me in. I can still see in my mind so much of the nooks and crannies of Cyrodiil from Oblivion. I love getting immersed in the world of Red Dead's Old West, tracking down bandits and hunting down bears in the forests and creeks of the Rockies.

When I play JRPGs, I can never disconnect from the idea that I am a person pressing buttons on a controller to select options from a menu. I think it's because I never played an actual JRPG until college, so it the genre has no nostalgia associated with it.

Pokemon. Holy shit, Pokemon. That series lags so far behind other games of its generation in terms of graphics and sound, took over a decade and a half to try having things like "story" and "noteworthy characters" in an RPG, and has some of the most repetitive, boring, slow gameplay I've seen in an RPG. On top of this, the games are intentionally exploitative in their release structure: there are 26 main series titles if I counted correctly (counting Blue and Green as the same game), but only 8 actual unique games. The other 18 are the exact same game with a handful of tiny changes, or remakes because for some reason they're not capable of putting the same buildings that are in every town in a different arrangement another eight times.

Black and White 2 was pretty hard, but yeah. After XY especially it starts to get super fucking boringly easy, along with predictable. There isn't even the excitement of the evolution anymore because you know kind of what it will look like.

Call of Duty
I'll never understand the appeal.

Well I should rephrase, it was interesting at points in the Modern Warfare series where things in the campaign were almost like a Tom Clancy novel, but I can't understand how the gameplay itself and the multiplayer would be fun.
