GTA IV probably.

Bubsy comes to mind too. I seem to remember this game getting hyped pretty good in the early 90s and I just didn't like it.

You realize Bubsy is pretty much the poster child nowadays for "shitty 90s mascot platformer" right?

It's infamously bad.

Overhyped and overrated are two different things.

This thread is overrated.

It was innovative, especially around controller-based controls for an FPS.
