Games that should have never existed.

[Mausthemighty]

Command & Conquer 4, the game that singlehandedly killed one of my most beloved gameseries. "Let's improve the gameplay by getting out all the fun parts like basebuilding and gathering resources and limit the amount of units you can have in a mission!" Yeah that worked like a charm... NOT!

Soldier of Fortune: Payback (was one of the most poorly made FPS games ever made)
Crysis 2 (Should have been made, but should have been made well)
Every single 'Mario plays this sport" title (Pretty self explanatory)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Story was OK, but the gameplay was fucking atrocious)
Bionic Commando (I work selling games and I can't get rid of this for $5)
Rogue Warrior (See above)
Still considering Dragon Age II... gameplay was OK, if only it wasn't just copy pasted up the arse, and if only more enemies didn't spawn when you were nearing the end of EVERY SINGLE FIGHT.

Final Fantasy 12 - Only final fantasy I didn't like. Although, without it we wouldn't have final fantasy 13 so hush my mouth, i guess.
Dead space 1 - Suffers from Mirror's Edge syndrome (IE: Brilliant for the first few acts, rapidly goes downhill) Although, as with the above example, without it, we wouldn't have Dead Space 2
Saw 2: Flesh and Blood - self explanatary
Duke Nukem Forever - I waited all my life, for what? Some crap game that even HAZE is better than.
The Ballad of Gay Tony - I love GTA, especially the Lost and Damned, but this DLC... Is just awful. Seriously, Rockstar, wtf?

Half Life, no seriously, think about it, if there was no half-life there would be no un-godly wait for valve just to announce EPISODE BLOODY 3!!

You are aware, that the entire point of TBOGT is homage to the old GTA games? With bizarre characters, a moronic plot, and just crazy, over the top missions?

Doesn't make it a good game.

Final Fantasy XIV. A game so horrible that a formal apology had to be given?

I also think that FF14 and 11 should of not been part of the numbered FFs. I think they should of been simply Final Fantasy Online or something to that effect.

I know a lot of people had mixed opinions and views on FF12 and 13, but at least they were playable and enjoyable to some extent even if you thought they paled in comparison to earlier titles in the series.

Lord of The Rings: Conquest.

Urgh, why did they even bothered. It's like if the game was made solemny for the purpose of raising my expectations skyhigh and then farting in my face when i got to know it.

I'm wandering off-topic here, but a game that should have existed is Star Wars: Battlefront 3. Unfortunately, it dropped dead before birth.

This post equals my whole thoughts right here. Just before they canceled it, there was a leaked video of it, it looked almost completed. Then the game director (Can't remember his name) came out and said that the game was basically done, they just needed to playtest a bit more. Then the bomb killed Pandemic and Star Wars: Battlefront 3 with it. I'm fairly certain that Battlefront 3 could have saved Pandemic, or at least let them leave off with a good game.

Kindom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, was not a KUF game at all, some sort of shoddy like game thing that doesnt deserve an opinion, a review, or for anyone to ever play it again... ever. Im serious dont get it.

 

[Sleepy Sol]

Games that should have never existed, you say? Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Bahaha! Though I honestly can't think of any more beyond that (that haven't already been said anyway).

Fallout: New Vegas. It looks like a re-release with little new elements. Simply could made as a DLC.

If New Vegas is a DLC then it is the biggest DLC in gaming history.

But of course it is a DLC if it has more quests and factions than Fallout 3, not to mention a differnet setting, different factions, more weapons, new game mechanics, more grey morality, a completely different plot with branching choices (something even F3 didn't have) and not to mention hundreds and even thousands of play (replay) value.

And of course I can't forget the "little new elements" such as;

*Iron sights
*Special VATS melee attacks
*Special Unarmed attacks that can be learned
*Different unarmed attacks
*Survival - and everything that stems from that (e.g. campfires)
*The companion wheel
*The fusion of small/big guns
*New speech system that isn't luck based
*Taking normal damage in VATS instead of only 10%
*Perks every other level
*Traits
*Weapon mods
*Companion perks
*The ability to become homosexual
*Nerve
*The reputation system
*Gambling
*Hardcore mode
*New animations
*Changing the character's age (useless, but a nice addition)
*Challenges
*Medical implants
*Unique weapons now have unique designs
*Damage Threshold
*Night vision
*"Dumb" dialogue
*Ammunition creation


And if that isn't enough, I could bring out my ol' wall o' text regarding why Fallout: New Vegas was a good game compared to F3 and deserved to be released.

Also...

Fallout: New Vegas. It looks like a re-release with little new elements. Simply could made as a DLC.

I could be interpreting that wrong, but it sounds like you haven't actually played the game.

And if it is a DLC, then it's probably one of the only (or few, I'm not sure) DLCs to ever have DLC released for it.

I'm going to list some games that really shouldn't exist:
Custer's Revenge - 'nuff said. Yes, I can hate on 30-year-old video games for being shit.

Duke Nukem Forever should not have been finished... Instead, they should have made a new Duke Nukem game, keeping Forever in development. Releasing the game dealt a serious blow to video-game culture by removing its greatest joke.

Some "Bad" games need to exist. The games that don't need to exist are those that completely fail to live up to their potential, and destroy that potential in the process.

On another note, Dark Void needs to go back to the developers to be finished.

Duke Nukem Fore...fuck it, the Duke Nukem series period.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Pretty much those CDI Legend of Zelda games. Everything about that game is enough to be wipe away from existenes.

I disagree. They did not kill their series, and the Youtube videos fully justify their existence.

-Final Fantasy XIII: Billed as a game..."Plays" like a movie. Also,much like XI and XII,shows very obvious signs of shark jumping.

-Duke Nukem Forever: This may,more or less,be me growing up,but I find the game too infantile and purile to have any reason being.

-Every Call of Duty,after 3: Dead horse cash cow franchise. Let it STAY DEAD.

-Sports games as a genre: If you want to play lacrosse,hockey,or football...Go play it yourself. If you can afford the console and game,you can afford to play for real.

That's my opinion. Any questions?

Oh my God, AMEN TO ALL OF THOSE.

Final Fantasy, just all around from the one with Cloud (VII? Which one was it? I didn't play it and I'm sick of hearing about it.) onwards. That's pretty much all I can think of.

you cant really bad mouth games you havnt played, just because they were extremely popular and you dont like JRPG's doent mean they shouldnt exist, FF8 is one of my all time favourite games, much better than 7, and 12 and 13 dont even deserve to be compared to the PS1 games.

Alright, I'll put on the opinion hat and equip my troll shield.
Halo and Call of duty(any past 4) Have contributed so little to the medium and brought so many bad habits, it's just sickening.
