If you could delete one game forever, what would it be?

[Canadamus Prime]

What would be the point? For every shitty game deleted 2 more would just take it's place.

I would only delete it from my memory of having played it but keep the game around for those who actually liked it. That game would be FFXIII. Because it really hurt to see the nail driven into the coffin of my Final Fantasy fandom, to lose faith in that series felt like the end of an era, the loss of a friend maybe even family. I just severely dislike that game but again would not remove it from existence just because it hurt. I just want that memory gone, replaced with a warning every time I try to buy or play the game that "THIS IS A BAD IDEA", preferably in giant 40' tall flaming letters. That might cause havoc and destruction depending on where I'm at when I decide to try to buy that game or play it. Come to think of it that sounds interesting, and fun. More fun than playing that atrocious walking simulator with "Interactive Battles".

I would delete Sonic '06. While it was nice to see Sega try to move Sonic into the next-gen of the time, it was just a mess. I don't think I've seen a single person do a Let's Play of it without going some degree of insane XD. I barely made it through half of the game before giving up on it since I was frustrated with the controls and the story.
Ride to Hell Retribution would've been my first choice, but I haven't played that one, personally.

Eh forget the high road, You know what game needs to be deleted. "Day One : Garry's Incident" considering the Dev's of the game itself tried to delete people's content on the game no more fitting then having this junk deleted.

That's our answer to this hypothetical question. Our answer isn't any less valid than yours, simply because it pisses in your cereal.

Obviously I disagree and think that it is less valid, and just derails the discussion. However, I guess you're right. Maybe they should add some stakes in to it like

"If you don't choose a game to delete, then your favorite game studio will be purchased by EA!"

Then you would have to choose.

What if EA was their favorite publisher? Hah!

How does it derail discussion? Just because you can, doesn't mean you have to. Just as you have the choice to erase something, you also have the choice not to erase something. Everyone has their own beliefs. Mine just happen to be that erasing any game from history is a bad choice.

I suppose out of all the games out there, there is one in particular that I would like to see erased...

Just to fuck with some heads!

Ha! Funny thing is, only the bottom one is true. Most of the people I know(including myself) spend way more on their outdoor activities than I ever have on games, people go outside their comfortable 10 mile radius once a year for the family vacation, it's amazing just how dumb and predictable adults can be, everyone is the same special snowflake, and you get banned to a special "server" if you engage in PvP. The graphics are fucking mind blowing, though.

Nice thread topic

*reads your rules

Never mind. I would want Postal deleted forever but I haven't played it and it has a sequel so deleting it would do nothing. Why would deleting a game not delete its remake? Can we just make up the rules as we go, like "I only want this game deleted from this franchise" or "Game X but not its remake because the remake was good"?

Assuming I ignore your rules, I want Postal deleted because its always the go to example for "them vidya games is turrible!". What you do in the game is the most idiotic, juvenile, shit I've heard. It sounds like the type of thing that would only exist as a half-life mod made a deranged high school kid

 

[Daaaah Whoosh]

I would say delete Minecraft because of the countless hours I wasted on it, but it led me to make my own texture pack and generally get my first introduction to modding. Not sure if any of that is ever going to be useful to me, but we'll see.

Oh, I've got it. I'd delete Borderlands. The sequel was great, but the first one ended with 'tentacles and disappointment', leaving me feeling as though I'd just wasted something like 100 hours of my time. It probably would have been better with friends, but so would most aspects of my life.

The graphics are crap. The colors are muted and the design is so boring. Its all brown and gray, you think the devs could have sprung for a bigger color pallet. The gameplay isn't any better. It practically takes years of grinding to get anywhere and it takes forever to finish the tutorial and pick your class

Damn, I could do this all day

 

[Tenkage]

Mirror's edge, because anita is working on the sequ- ok I'm kidding, just a slight bit of friendly trolling

No if I had to give a game that needs to never exist, Sonic 06, I played it on a dare from a friend....ugh....just ugh, do I need to explain why it needs to die

 

[God'sFist]

Since I'm a good sport I'll chime in with getting rid of fable 3. Whilst the graphics were okay and the story was okay. It needed way more time to get developed it was way too short and it needed more weapons.

To the people saying no deletion of games If it's deleted it would never become their favorite game in the first place and they would find another to love. That is depending on whether deletion from existence entails memory as well because that is one of the parts that would make your argument.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Yea, that's my belief too. Like, if a posse were going to round up every copy of a game and burn it, I'd be opposed, no matter what the game was.

But that's not really what the question is getting at. The OP is trying to create discussion about what games people dislike, or wish would never have been made for whatever reason, and folks come in just to let your know that, in essence, they aren't going to participate in the discussion. They let everyone know that by participating in the discussion. It's like if someone asks you your favorite brand of bubble gum, and someone comes in saying that they hate bubble gum and, by the way, bubble gum ruins your teeth. Then you're like, gtfo dude.

At least, that's how I see it.

I and whomever else with like answers did the exact same thing everyone else is doing, that isn't quoting or being quoted. Pop in, say our answer and leave. Possibly refresh every so often to see what other people said. No different than what anyone else did.

The question, however, was what we would erase if we had the option to erase any one game. He wasn't asking us what games we dislike or what we wish were never made. If the OP wanted to know what I disliked or wished was never made, he should've asked that, instead.

Spider-Man 3. I couldn't even play long enough to play as the Green Goblin which would probably have been just as disappointing. Almost every other Spider-Man game was good to fantastic, but three...three was dropped on it's head when it was an alpha.
