So Bad It's Good

[krazykidd]

Recently i bought a game called " The witch and the hundred knight". It's about an ill mannered witch named Metallia, that summons a powerful familliar to take over the world. A definate future cult classic. The graphics are very early gamecube, the camera is awful , the gameplay is overly complex. But the story and the characters are really what makes this game. Metallia is evil, vile and immature. In one scene she kicks a witch she just defeated while she's down, called her a vomitig whore when she starts vomiting blood, turns her into a mouse, summons male mice to rape her THEN cooks her to make mouse stew and eats her. This is the character we are suppose to root for. Despite this, i still feel sympathetic towards matallia.Definately not your run of the mill game.

mercenaries 2 = )

buggy as hell, terrible VA, Z movie plot, awful gunplay, sticky auto-aim you cant even fucking turn off

.....but you can walk into a city full of skyscrapers and completely level it with artillery strikes then bounce off into the sunset in a jumping car.

Senran Kagura, the 3DS one as I think was mentioned above, is excellent in an awful way.

I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Skate 3 yet.

For obscurity points, I'll go with Ehrgeiz on the PS1.

OneChanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers

VERY stupid, but also kind of fun.

EDF.

In particular, 2025. I picked that one, because it reaches the insanity of 2017 while bringing in some of the better parts of Insect Armageddon.

Yes, I'm a massive fan of the series.

How could I not be? You get starship troopers, throw in giant robots and UFOs, add hilariously bad voice acting, put it in a load of environments that are laughably easy to reduce to rubble and then make the gameplay surprisingly good fun despite the rough edges.

Plus, in an age of story driven experiences, moral choices, and people either clambering onto the art game bandwagon or the inexplicably still existent QTE bandwagon, it's kind of nice to see a game that has no plot that anyone in their right mind would care about, and has no other goals aside from "here are aliens. You shoot the aliens. You shoot them until they die from it."

Disaster: Day of Crisis.

Seriously hilarious and awesome game. Plays like a mix between an on-rail shooter (for the combat sections) and your typical arcade action game with QTE's.

Absolute delight to play if you've got a Wii and are in the mood to laugh.

Jesus Christ.

Laharl would piss his pants at something like that. Even before he became more merciful, at least he outright kills his victims.

...

I kinda wanna play it now.

OT: Probably Sonic 06. The game is a train wreck in nearly every way. But in a way, that makes it incredibly memorable. I always get a kick out of seeing other people suffer playing it.

The robots are drunk as hell. They can't stand up correctly even if their life depended on it. And that's what makes it so damn fun. I mean. Every party game you've ever played pales in comparison to the sheer number of laughs you will have playing this game or even just watching youtube footage with TF2 dubs. By all accounts, this game has the worst control out of any game in the universe and yet somehow that makes it more fun. Don't miss this game. Find any way you can to play it.

Virtua Quest

This could have been the RPG of fighting games... and an awesome spin-off to an awesome fighter from Sega...

Too bad it was only decent enough for me to play up to 6 times in a row... (Two of those times were for LPing...)

Also, I had the balls to buy both the GameCube version as well as the Playstation 2 version... (I'm still not usre if I should regret that or not...)

To start off with an example, my favorite in recent memory is Deadly Premonition. No matter how much I knew I shouldn't like the game, I could not help but like it. Every little bad thing about it just seemed to add to it's charm.

When it comes to games, movies, etc, when something is described as "weird" it is immediately added to my wish list. I finally bought Deadly Premonition recently the cost of the ps3 version dropped on amazon (I know it was $15 on GoG, but its not the Deadly Premonition experience without crippling frame rate issues). So far, I have not been disappointed with the promised weirdness. And I'm looking forward to making York grow beard

Other than that, I don't think I've played many bad cult games. I've played games that were bad that I still love, with Geist for the Gamecube at the top of that list. Sure it was cheesy, broken, and unlimited ammo combat was a joke, but how many games do fight giant invisible spiders in a smokey cave with a rivet and use ghost powers to sneak into the girl's locker room?

But not if you live in North America where it wasn't released. I think Japan gets some kind of sick pleasure out of not releasing their 100% glorious depictions of America, to America. Its basically the Metal Wolf Chaos of this generation. For those who live in NA and don't want to hack their Wii's, I recommend Two Best Friends complete playthrough of it on YouTube

 

[Ten Foot Bunny]

Porky's on the Atari 2600. Also, I didn't mind the E.T. game! I might have a different opinion of it now considering I got that game for my 5th birthday. My quality standards weren't that high back then.

 

[carnex]

Robot Alchemic Drive or R.A.D. for PS2
Game is really bad but so damn entertaining that I am at loss of words. Mostly because the unique control scheme always makes a mess and you can level whole cities with fighting giant robots.

 

[Fat Hippo]

The most recent example that comes to mind is Goat Simulator. It's completely broken in every way, but the developers don't care, because it's also fucking hilarious. Bugs are features, not mistakes, is basically the attitude here.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Skyrim, duh, I'm suprised any TES game hasn't been on here earlier. A generic, vague fantasy setting with generic writing, and the main character is always a boring looking guy, girl or lizard furry with breasts (biology 101, people, of course lizards have boobs) in a big world where people have a tendency to fall through the earth and fight big dragons. Oh, and everyone is about as intelligent as a walnut that's been cracked up Christian Chandler's asshole.

You can catch arrows, ride dragons, kill entire towns, steal entire castles, fly into the air with the help of a majestic giant, and so many other things that have taken my attention away from my asshole family.

God thank you Bestheda so much.

Then there's Deadly Premonition, a game so wonderfully wrong that is gets everything right.

The Room. As in, both Silent Hill 4: The Room and The Room: o hai mark hau iz yur seks life.

LSD: Dream Simulator. I don't know how anyone at a company would look at their co-worker's dream diary, look at him, and seriously say, "we need to make a game out of this". It's wonderful. Pretty wonderful.

Also, anything MDickie produces. Look him up; he's got a website full of horrible shit that will leave you laughing for hours. No, it's not porn, they're "video games".

 

[Inazuma1]

Postal 2 will always get my vote. Running around town urinating in the faces of badly rendered civilians and police while smoking a crack pipe to recover health never gets old.

 

[ZhannaKhaslik]

I really enjoyed Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. :3

That's how I found that game XDD

But yeah the localization thing is really bummy. And retarded considering the game is in English...
