Yeah, Halo was the worst game you've ever played. Sure, I TOTALLY believe you. And if you honestly think that the story is bland and uninteresting, I have one thing to say to you; to quote Joey of Yu-Gi-Oh! the Abridged Series "Someone's not familiar with the expanded universe"
OT: I don't go out of my way to play bad games, and I only started gaming in 2006 so I'm almost tempted to say Deus Ex 2 or World of Warcraft (that game turned me off of MMOs faster than you can say "terrible level design" and it wasn't until recently that I found out that there were other, good MMOs actually worth playing) but ultimately it comes down to a tie between Fracture and The Force Unleashed 2. Both games play all right I guess, that is to say, I would only occasionally get stuck in a wall, but the stories for both these games were insultingly shallow. The first Force Unleashed had an awesome, effectively Star Wars-y plot that filled in new information about the original trilogy while tying up the loose ends of the prequel trilogy for the people who for some inexplicable reason actually care about the prequel trilogy. It also showed us the origins of the rebellion and why it was so effective against the empire when one would expect a galaxy wide rebellion to be disorganized and wholly ineffective. The second game had practically broken game-play, especially during the segments when the camera was fixed, an uninteresting and shallow plot (You are a clone. OR ARE YOU?! Yes.) and an only marginally improved leveling system. Fracture on the other hand had an interesting concept, but the terrain deformation was clunky and difficult to control, the combat was adequate at best, incredibly frustrating at worst, and the plot... fuck me. The cut scenes would grace you with their presence once every few hours to prattle on about something boring, idiotic, pseudo-philosophical, or all of the above, and there was no attempt to advance the story during game-play, meaning the levels were essentially "go here, do this" over and over and over and over again with little to no motivation as to why you are killing wave after of enemy soldiers. And the ending, of course, sets up a sequel that they knew damn well wasn't going to get made. And yes, I realize there were games back in the 80s and 90s that were far worse than these games, but they were made before I was a gamer and I have no desire to go back and play a game which I know will be terrible, monotonous, and boring.
