My worst game? The Incredibles. That or the Spider-Man film adaptation game for the PS2. Oh my word those games were shocking.

Thre Incredibles because it had a difficulty curve that resembled a mountain range, and the Spider-Man game had controls that were like trying to fuck a stick of butter.

Assassins Creed 1 and Last Remnant. Hands down. No questions asked.
If I may, can I ask a couple anyway?
First - why did you hate playing Assassins Creed 1?
Second - Did you like any of the other Assassins Creed games?

Ultraman for the SNES.
Horrible controls. Horrible sound. Horrible graphics. Horrible, horrible, horrible.
It's like if you took Street Fighter and then made everything really slow, repetitive and ugly. And then you *have* to use your most complicated special move to end the fight.
God, it sucks so much I had nightmares.

You surely may ask. To say that I hate Assassin's Creed is an overstatement. The question was worst game I played, not game I hated the most. I didn't like the controls. They were hard to master. Not impossible, but hard. But what really turned me away was the story line. Jerky, fragmented memories of a character I had no reason to care about, living vicariously as a character I had equal reason not to care about. I was not immersed in the story, dying to find out every next detail, unraveling a mystery of story, character, or place. It just seemed tedious, and waste of my time. I found my self constantly checking my phone for messages, playing with my ipod, or doing a million other things, but not focusing on the game.

To answer your second question, I have not played any of the other Assassin's Creed games. But not because of my poor experience with Assassins's Creed 1. Merely because I do not own them, and don't have the extra income to purchase them at this time. If hypothetically a friend were to lend me a copy of the second title, I would give the game a fair play through and consideration.

(My apologies if I already posted, the internet had a hiccup.)

Yeah, you posted twice. ;)

Those are fair enough points - I personally found the story engaging, but then again that's why I'm me and not anyone else. And even though Assassins Creed is one of my favourite games, I did find the controls a little... Odd.
Brief warning though - if you were hypothetically lent any of the other games, I wouldn't expect you to enjoy them much more than the first. Gameplay is similar albeit refined, as is usually the norm with sequels, and half of the plot continues from the first. The "in the past" bit is slightly better in ACII, but declines a little in Brotherhood.

Now this is the reason that I always research and look up games before buying, meaning I am rarely disappointed.

Anyway my answer for this thread would have to be.....Spore Creatures for the DS.
I actually had to go and check my games for a contestant and as soon as I saw that I remembered how bad it was.
So bland and awkward I must have either forgotten about it through boredom or blanked it from my mind. I only got it thinking it would b like the PC Spore but it most definitely wasn't.

The moral, properly research a game before buying it so as to avoid disappointment.

Thanks for the forewarning. Most of the people (friends) that had previously heard my complains would usually dismiss me with something like, "Oh, the second one is way better."

I'm sure that some where in there is a great story to tell, and a great concept, but some where along the line, it was translated in a way that just doesn't speak to me.

And I don't think it gets said enough, so I would like to thank you, Anchupom for responding and having a reasoned conversation about the topic. Makes me happy inside, and think that there is hope for future generations on this world.

Indigo Prophecy. I was really starting to get engrossed in the plot until the final act protagonist died, reanimated, gained the powers of flight and super kung fu to fight aliens with an underground resistance group of technologically advanced hobos before the lady cop (who had been chasing him down under the assumption that he is a psycho killer, who's partner had recently died due to this fucker) falls in love with him and has spontaneous, unprotected corpse sex on a filty hobo mattress in a disused subway car in an abandoned subway station/hobo enclave.

And then they all dance over the end credits. What the flying fuck.

Army of Two: The 40th Day.

They managed to make everything that was wrong with the first game even worse and ruin anything resembling competent shooter design along with anything else that may have come across as a redeeming feature.

Truly, I suffered through that game and was happy when it was over because I knew I wouldn't have to touch the bloody thing again.

Communication is much better if you're both trying to have a conversation that doesn't end up in one of you stating the other's opinion is "wrong". :D

Remember Starship Troopers, the movie by Paul Verhoven? How it the only thing it shared with the actual Heinlein book was names?

That was what Dune was like.

No, not the RTS games created by 'Tank Rush'-wood studios. The adventure game.

It wasn't even campy-hilarious good.

It was an abomination, and I feel lesser for being the only person on the internet to be burdened by the memory of its existence.

Every single one of you are truly spoiled if Modern Warfare 2 and the Halo trilogy are the worst games you have ever played.

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness

It was buggy as hell, and the story didn't make a lot of sense to me. Granted this was probably close to 10 years ago and my 18-yr-old brain may have simply glossed over it.

Or, the developers rushed a buggy mess out the door so that it could be a "projected summer blockbuster".

I finished it anyways, and I don't remember how it ended.

Well... I like all my games, but if I really had to choose... Persona 3. It started out good, then December came, and it just went downhill from there.
