Arc the Lad: End of Darkness.. hated it. Biggest waste of money ever. I've spent hundreds of dollars on games I've never played but this was still the biggest waste of money on my part.
In your opinion, what was the worst game you ever played?

Worst game EVER? Huh. Well, almost any porno game, since gameplay's an afterthought. So Custer's Revenge, then?
Borderlands. Ther is nothing good about this game, even the initially nice graphics look boring after about half an hour. CoD managed more than that. The combat is dull, hte interfaces are unintuitive, it has one gameplay element, the story is about as deep as a dustbin lid and even then, that has more uses. I could beat it by just shouting at it a lot because I have a lot of abuse for it to recieve. All round a terrible game and it made me the cynic that I am today.
I was in the APB closed beta, too.Frybird said:
I decided to try the newly-F2P beta for it. You know what was different?
Nothing. All the issues that were there in the beta from two years ago are still present. Shitty interface, levels of tedium in excess of watching paint dry, clunky gunplay, performance issues, shitty car control, ridiculously repetitive missions, lag, crashes, disconnects... Every issue I identified in the original closed beta is still present. There's a good reason APB failed miserably. I wouldn't say it was the worst game I've ever played, but it was up (down?) there.
I actually can't remember many of the genuinely terrible games I've played. I tend to forget them. Although it seems like a lot of people on here have never even come into contact with a properly horrible game. The most disappointing for me, however, was Dragon Age: Origins. Generic storyline, bad (for a BioWare game) voice acting, fairly constrictive in terms of characters you could reasonably play (a note to developers: if I'm playing a party-based RPG, adding in sections where I'm split off from my party is not what I want, especially if I'm trying to play a support role like a healer character), lazy graphics and textures and less of a difficulty "curve" than a "violent and illogical difficulty zig-zag."
Too Human. I like to have control over the camera position. To think I payed twenty bucks for the piece of shit. I will never trust my cousin's gaming advice ever again.
Wow, Alice is my favorite game of all time and I absolutely loved Limbo. I would have to agree that you should just ignore all platforming games in the future.VaudevillianVeteran said:

ead Rising. I was sooo excited for this game and probably would have liked it regardless due to my rose colored glasses when getting it. Except one problem: it was god awful. I could go on about the time limit, the repetitive gameplay, or the annoying (and dumb) NPCs, but I'll just go on about the lack of fun. Playing this game felt like such a chore, I've never gotten past 2 hours of it. I've tried, oh lord have I tried. I think I started the game about four times trying to push into, what I would consider, a playable zone where even bad games become mildly fun. However, the game is just too awful.
Easily frogger the great quest for the PS2
My first ever PS2 game, which came with the pS2. It was absolutely dreadful. Needless to say it has nothing at all to do with the classic arcade game in either story or gameplay besides the name of the protagonist.
And the gameplay is just painful. The story I can't for the life of me remember, so it mustn't have been that memorable.

Oh trust me, I know it's just me and it's all opinion based and both are highly praised games and I liked a few parts of them. I loved Alice: Madness Returns, so maybe I'm just not made for the more elite platformers that don't impliment double-jump. *Laughs*PeePantz said:
I would definitely have to say the Eragon game...horrible movie and horrible game from a good book. Sad really...
I thought people weren't allowed to mention it. It isn't even a Fallout game, except for the name.Issurru said:Do I Win? Although I still really, really, really, really, REALLY want to say Front Mission Evolved.... I hate that game so much.. I would rather play "drink the stuff under the sink" than load up that game ever again.

VATS = Boring
Just don't use them? It's more fun and challenging that way.
OT: I would say MW2. I hated pretty much everything about it actually.
I'd agree, but it does have Zombies, which is a fun thing to waste time with, when you're with friends. Avoid online like the plague though. Console splitscreen, so you can sit on a couch.Fathoms said:
Hmm... Bioshock is probably the game I hated the most, but it was by no means the worst, which makes coming up with the *worst* kind of tough. Let's see... There's an N64 game I rented once that was transcendent in its awfulness, but since I can't recall the name of it, I think I'll go with BloodRayne, since it was all kinds of terrible.
Fatal Inertia for the Xbox 360.
Did the developers put any time into that buggy piece of crap? I traded it in the same day I got it.

Well it's noble to admit your faults (jk). Some platformers can be mind numbingly hard, but for some reason I think I have the patience/am stupid enough to stand there, figure them out and do it one million times in a row until success. I get why people are turned off by them because the monotonous chore of doing something over and over again isn't what most people find fun, but I guess I'm a weird one.VaudevillianVeteran said:

Dante's Inferno (I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet)and Borderlands. I can understand that Borderlands can be a fun game, I'm just so bad at FPS's that the whole thing was just lost on me.
But Dante's Inferno is just a reaaaally bad game, regardless of taste.

Kinda a two sided question, yeah? IE: There's the promising looking games that were mediocre or bad and then there's another catagory for things that were just a broken Atari 2600 ET-esque mess.
I'll stick with the 'hoped it would be good' stuff... I'm not really arsed even rating the games I didn't enjoy, usually, so here's an unsorted list of let-downs, C-lists items and failures that I played:
- Postal 2 (loved Postal 1)
- Too Human
- Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
- Daikatana
- Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel (.....*seething contempt*......)
- Final Fantasy 8 --->
- Ultima Online (buggy, broken mess and tech issues outweighed potential fun)
- Halo ODST (liked the others well enough)
- Tribes (3): Vengance (Ken Levine designing a game with jetpacks and grappling hooks? Why then did it feel so WRONG??? Shazbot!)
- C&C Red Alert 2 / 3
- C&C 3+
- Black and White
- Fable 1, 2 (never tried 3)
- Zelda 2 (the fuck?)
- Kings Quest 6+ (5 was the series best IMO)
- Perfect Dark (loved Goldeneye, mind)
- Dungeons (not BAD, but just not DK - the game would have been better if it didn't try to emulate DK's sense of humor and just stuck to the mechanics)
- Quake 3: Arena (Quake 2 had amazing TC mods and community... Quake 3 was too CPU steep at the time and games like Tribes, Counterstrike, Team Fortress Classic offered more diverse MP FPS fun at a lower hardware overhead)
- Worms 3D
- Red Faction 1 / 2
- Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing (Mario Teaches Typing 4life, yo)
- Turok (reboot)
