In your opinion, what was the worst game you ever played?

[pvaglueman123]

A game on the PS2 called "Fur Fighters 2 Viggo's Revenge" The levels look a mess, the characters all have square heads, the guns don't do anything, the special climable walls look no different to the regular walls and it controlled horribly. since when was L1 to turn around, X to reload and R3 to Jump. The shoulder buttons made you move i think as well. You had to face the direction you wanted to walk in and hold R1 as i vaugly recall. It was terrible.

...

And Gamespot still gave it a 7.3

Im usually pretty good at avoiding bad games but probably the worst would be infamous, ijust found it incredibly mind-numbingly boring. dragon age 1 was pretty awefull asswell but somehow dragon age 2 was worse

I can't decide whether I hated inFamous or Okami more. When I played inFamous, I felt like every single thing it did, it did wrong. But with Okami, the controls were broken to the point of the game being unplayable. One set of weapons is unusable, and if I hadn't found a different weapon when I did, I would have quit playing very early into the game. Then later, it was the combination of the extremely unresponsive brush drawings (HINT: maybe if everything wasn't a variation of a circle, it'd be easier for the game to tell what power I wanted) that needed to be used to beat a timed digging mini that required near perfection to beat that finally made me get rid of the awful game. I tried it over and over again for days. I tried all the tips all over the internet to make the game better understand the drawings I wanted. But nothing worked, and the mini-game ended in failure again and again and again due to the game being broken.

So I dunno. inFamous was extremely unenjoyable, but Okami was actually broken, and is the kind of game that should be getting those "1/__ - completely broken and unplayable" ratings and sit next to games like ET and Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing in video gaming's hall of shame.

So I guess in the end, the worst game I ever played is Okami, because it's a truly and undeniably bad game thanks to broken controls instead of just a game with no gamebreaking issues that I happened to strongly dislike.

I want to say Fallout 3 because the game just became so mediocre the moment you realized that V.A.T.S. was the superior way to go, but worst game ever would probably go to Call of Duty: Black Ops.

I can't believe someone said Half-Life 2. Explain yourself.

I have never been a cod fan and there are easily a 100 games I would rather play but black ops is still a half decent game (I actualy liked the campaign and there is always zombies but I hate multiplayer) you have never played a bad game if you think black ops is bad

I know 'opinions' and everything, but after reading through the rest of the topic I have to say, some of you really need to play more bad games if these are the worst ones you've played.


I have trouble remembering all the bad games I've played. My worst is probably something on the commodore 64 or the NES, but since I can barely remember the good games from those systems let alone the bad ones, I'll have to go with something a little more recent. So the worst that I can remember is probably 'D', which I had for the playstation. It had absolutely no redeeming features other than it's graphics and oh yeah, it has a fucking 2 HOUR TIME LIMIT!. After 2 hours you just get a game over. And people complain about Kain and Lynch 2 being short...

I would have said Big Rigs, which is technically a much worst game than D. The thing is, Big Rigs is so bad it's actually pretty funny, so I've had a lot of fun playing it.

 

[Fawful]

Ugh, I just remember why I hate this type of thread: "'X' game is the worst game I ever played because the game is liked too much by other people." or "'X' game is the worst game I ever played because it was average."

Oh, right, need to add to the "discussion." Because you can't oppose opinions on opinion treads I'll just say Flock. It was this $10 or so indie game made a few years ago. It's was like playing Marble madness or Super monkey ball but you control the, in this case multiple sheep, with a sort of circular repulsing thing and try to sort of shove the sheep into the goal. That was quite bad

 

[Mallefunction]

Bayonetta. The cut scenes were ridiculously long, the characters flat and yet somehow overdone, the combat boring.

I get that a lot of the game is supposed to be pretty tongue-in-cheek, but I was bored within the first ten minutes, let alone the five hours I spent playing it. It also seemed totally reluctant to let me do anything outside of fighting which got boring for me very quickly. Give me more freedom in my goddamn games will ya!?

Why the hell would anyone want to play a bad game on purpose? Unless it's a hilariously bad game like Big Rigs, bad games should be avoided in favor of games that are worth playing.

 

[azzair]

I'm gonna go with Dark Void.
It had a nice idea and all but... I don't know, it just felt like they didn't get around to finish it but released it anyway.

 

[CleverNickname]

Star Wars Galaxies post-NGE

TF2 after the War Update - the start of the long Demoman-jerkoff that has yet to end

KotOR 2 - it's not just the ending that's crappy, rushed and pointless; it's the entire game, apart from the script and possibly the voice acting

and I was gonna go "inb4 Half-Life 2" but people with no taste in full-troll mode are always faster. Oh, I can still go "inb4 Portal"

 

[android88]

fable 3


nuff said

Good to know I'm not the only one who hates Fable.

 

[jackpackage200]

Im going to have to say its kane and lynch 2. It was completely unplayable and worst of all I couldn't return the fucking thing because apparently the guys at my old gaming store wouldn't take it back because they knew it was shit.

Unplayable? I thought unplayable meant, you know, unplayable. That it's nearly impossible to beat the game because of how broken it is. Games like Oriental Hero.


I haven't played Kane & Lynch 2, and I'm not trying to argue it's not a bad game, but I'm still pretty sure you're overreacting. You've probably never played a truly unplayable game, which is good I guess. Except that only playing relatively functional games makes you use words like "unplayable" to mean "below avarage".

what i meant by unplayable was the controls were unresponsive and it was a cover based shooter with no cover. And fuck thats stupid camera

WHAAAAAAAATTTTTTTT???????

Are you serious or is this trolling?

Infamous is a surprisingly good action adventure and Okami is a sodding masterpiece.

Okami bad controls?? Broken?? What were you playing??

You want a truly terrible game with broken controls and mechanics then go play Indiana Jones & the Emperors tomb.

 

[Tharwen]

Eragon the video game lol

I agree. I had the DS version and it was unpleasant to play.

I was just such a boring movie cash-in with nothing unique besides a forced 'draw this shape' minigame because it was on the DS.

 

[IncredibleKoosh]

Sensible Soccer 98 (PlayStation version) So jerky. Unresponsive controls. Just... bad.

The PC version wasn't that bad.

Also World Cup 1994 (MegaDrive) A really bad Sensi clone.

 

[AssassinFisH]

In recent memory it has to be "Alone in the Dark". So buggy and badly made, which was a huge dissapointment.

The most popular game I find unbearable is "Oblivion". I hate the poor combat system, lack of class definition and awful NPC voice's.

Calm down, it wasn't meant to be taken literally. The point I was making is that if these are the worst games some of you have played, then you really haven't played a lot of truly bad games.

 

[Sargonza]

Alone in the Dark remake. For PC

I bought a stickered copy of Resident Evil 4, and the shop assistant helpfully informed me that I could get another preowned game for (effectively) just £5 more, and as the AITD was the limited edition with the artbook, soundtrack, figurine... I just figured "why not".

I felt constantly motion sick playing it, the controls were awful and laggy and when I died at one point, the game helpfully fast-forwarded me to the next section.

I took it back to the store, where they claimed they never sold preowned PC games, and eventually I gave up and took it to a charity shop in its big box complete with soundtrack, figurine, artbook...


It's still there, almost two years later.

But I kept RE4

 

[RelexCryo]

Most hated game? Not sure. I really like Perfect Dark for the N64, but some parts of it drove me up the wall. Several parts of the game, for example, actually depended on random number generators for their difficulty- in defending the Carrington institute, how many guards spawn in a hallway you need to run through while activating turrets is random, between 1 and 4. On Perfect Dark difficulty, anything more than 2 cannot be survived to my knowledge. While going for the All Guns unlockable cheat on the final mission, which towers you need to place a targeting marker on is random. Any combination except one, specific combination of towers wastes far more seconds than you can spare going for the unlockable. Random number generators do not test skill. They are more akin to a slot machine than Super Mario. Essentially, in Perfect Dark I was doomed to fail at several points regardless of how much skill I had, simply because of random number generators. Simply because I did not get a good "roll" from an in game slot machine.

So. Much. Rage.

 

[Pacerman]

I am "LoLing" at all the comments that are naming triple A titles as their worst games ever played. Clearly they need to venture into the discount bin a lot more often.

Worst games I've ever played include, "The Great Escape" for PS2, "Beauty and the Beast" for Sega Geniuses, "Dungeon Siege III" for PC, and "Crash TwinSanity" for X-Box. Now THOSE are some bad games, and not even bad like, "Barbie games" bad. The kind of bad where you can see that they really tried, and just made a terrible item.

I challenge everyone who posts here to play one game that cost them less then $10 dollars, it'll make you a better game designer...
