Poll: The worst game

[Jast]

I haven't played Final Fantasy VII, but I voted for Half Life 2. I just found it to be incredibly boring and I hate how saying I don't like it ends up with a rock thrown in my bedroom window.

 

[Hutchy_Bear]

Soul Caliber 4. I hadn't owned a soul caliber game before this and found it sucky.

 

[WrongSprite]

Half Life 2.

Who.

THE HELL.

Put... that... game...

IN THE POLL?! You should be ashamed.

Now. Say it again. Say Half Life 2 has a flaw. 96. From 81 reviews. One of the best PC games ever.

Who's a little fanboy? You're a little fanboy!

I don't particularly like Half life 2, just cause you like it, doesn't mean everybody else should.

Oh please, at least the troll before tried to use arguments.

Someone calling HL2, a game with 96% on Metacritics, even close to a BAD game, or putting it in "the worst game" poll isn't exactly the sharpest sword.

Ohhhh yeah, 'cause reviews are a rounded opinion of my personal enjoyment aren't they?

No.

But if out of 81 professional critics game holds a 96% score (...come on), it means their opinions are a bit more important than yours is.

I don't agree with that statment. Their opinion just became a bit more famous, but not as important. I come to believe after watching x-play that money and fame can be a factor in messing up a review.

 

[ace_of_something]

Oooh, I see what you did there.

I go with FF7 as it simply was not my cup of tea at the time it came out.

 

[BolognaBaloney]

I'de say Half-Life 2 because it's crap and over-rated

WTF?

I dunno bout crap, but it's definitely over-rated.

 

[YukoValis]

Oooh, I see what you did there.

Really? Did you like what you see?

 

[Drakulla]

All the games on that poll list are awesome games and deserve you praise and worship, except Sonic.
And the worst game I ever played was Project Snowblind.

The point of his poll was to see which of these great games people like least

FF7, if only because the fanboys are creepy enough to write poetry about when Aeris

Spoiler

got owned like a ************ at the hands of an overly-effeminate villain. That was the only good part of the game.

This image makes me laugh because it makes fanboys cry.​

Also, because it's the very definition of overrated.

I love your logic, haha! I feel the same way about FF7 too. I've said a few times already on these forums. The game doesn't deserve the fan-tard following it has. I've played it... when it was new. It was okay, not great. I prefer Final Fantasy 4 or 6.

However, I voted for Half-Life 2, simply for my bias against FPS games. I've played it, it's graphically gorgeous, the controls are tight and responsive. It's just not my cup of tea. Although it did allow me to do for fun what I could not do back in GoldenEye 007 on N64: To be able to write "Die Commie Scum!" in bullet holes without any of them disappearing. XD

I've always considered Super Mario 3 the most epic adventure they've ever crafted for the brave little plumber dude. It's just a massive game (when played without using the flutes). Plus Mario is and always has been a great heroic character. He's the self-less, humble hero that saves the girl and always defeats the bad guy.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is also a great game. Not as great as Sonic 2, but when you lock on Sonic & Knuckles, you get the whole story of it and it's also a very LARGE game. Remember too, it's the last time Sonic ever had REAL commercial success. Sadly, 3-D play fields will always be the thorn in the side of the "blue dude with the 'tude."

Lastly, Zelda: Link to the Past is probably my favorite title in the series. I could never vote this as a bad game... and even if I did, it's too well-crafted of a game to hate it for that reason.

Only Sonic's 3D games deserve to be scorned. In his heyday, those 2D side-scrollers were definitely of the "awesome" variety. Sonic 3 is just a bit of a low point. The second one will always be the favorite of many, many people.

I second that motion, Yuko. Do you honestly need the obligatory 'yay' or 'nay' from some jackhole on a "professional" review site before you can make up your own mind (if you even get that far)?

Their opinions don't matter to me, nor do they affect my game purchases; Especially when they have NOTHING good to say about a game just because they don't like it (or are being fed large sacks of money with dollar signs on them by Sony or Microsoft).

I'd be increasingly more happy with many reviewers if they could just TRY to set aside their bias for or against certain games and simply evaluate the quality of the game (how it runs, how it controls, any graphical hiccups, etc). If I were in their shoes, I'd be more than happy to do it as I just described because I'd rather gamers read my reviews and come away with important info about a certain title, than go troll said game site's forum about how wrong I am for hating it.

 

[RathWolf]

FFVII is the only one that I can't really enjoy/stand to go back and play. So...it I guess?

Not only that, but play the whole game! I remember x-play doing a review of an old PC game that they said was aweful with only one bad ending. Ok so the game wasn't that good, but it had multible endings, and wasn't half as bad for the time. The fact is, I rather look at other people playing the game without commentary and judge from that.

 

[kevin arnold]

by far the worst game ever made in the whole world of today in this existance and millenium is eternal sonata

 

[kevin arnold]

half life 2 was a piece of ____. the gravity system frigued the game up for me. the ramp to get across the water in the fan boat won't let me over because it came loose, so half life 2 is definately a peice of ____.

 

[YukoValis]

so I guess I'll do a final count
Super Mario 3 5.7% (35)
Sonic the hedgehog 3 33.8% (206)
Zelda: Link to the past 9.7% (59)
Final Fantasy 7 24.3% (148)
Half-life 2 12% (73)
I haven't played any of them and/or surrender 14.4% (88)

sonic loses, though I think far to many people voted for him because of his recent garbage games.
