The most stupid RPG you ever played

Shadow Madness. Around ten years ago I found a copy online for next to free and thought, "Hey, a cheap rpg! I can't lose with this!"
Mind you, I hadn't actually been able to finish the game due to the vast amount of glitches and horrid coding errors. Even then, it was basically a game with very ugly, unlikable characters. Every time I entered a house I found some random book that was a literal novel long - which was not entertaining to read in the least. That, the weak apocalyptic plot, and the uninteresting fighting were good reasons to regret owning it.
It simply was not good.
I also failed to enjoy Grandia 3. They took all that was good in the original Grandia, waved it in front of you, then ripped it away shortly after you start playing. And while you still had a good battle system, you were left with whiny, uninteresting characters, repetitive monsters, and cut-scene after cut-scene about how you are not loving enough - including similar lectures from colossus guardian beasts at the end of each dungeon. No, you did not fight them. They told you about how you had to believe in love.

Don't pick on my precious Quest 64, what did it ever do to you!
I still keep this game in my small collection of good 64 games that I will never get rid of. It lacks most things that make RPG's good, but for a 64 game, I'd much rather play it over Chronicles of Aiden, which had everything but was waay too slow.
I've played thru Q64 about 4 times now. It must be the spells. Letting you choose which of the 4 spell types, it's always fun learning new ones you've never seen before.
Tat and it was probably the first RPG I played with the exception of FF.
N64 ftw!
EDIT: oh, on topic: a tossup between Oblivion and Fable 2. Not that they suck, just the 2 biggest gaming disappointments of my life.
To all 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 people that have and will say FFVII, I'm playing the game right now and I love it. It's different from all Final Fantasy games before it, although you can only use three characters at a time.
Also, it being "overrated" isn't a reason that you don't like a game. A reason that you don't like a game is the reason that you think the game is overrated. All I've seen so far for an argument against FFVII is that's overrated, or there is no argument at all.
Anyway, for me it would be Star Ocean 3. Just never got into the game. The story was pretty weak for as far as I got into it, and I had lots of problems trying to control three characters at a time.

All final fantasy games (especially the spin offs, I'm looking at you dirge of cerebrus) bar VI (in all it's wonderful weird gloriousness) VII (because you can hit monster with a bat full of nails) and X (there's a plot twist! Yay!)
Having tried my hand at all the others, I found them convoluted, dull, with the most bland characters I've ever laid eyes on and stories so piss poorly wince worthy that I've never gotten around to completing most of them.
As much as I love the series as a whole, but it's a rollercoaster thats had some gut wrenchingly awful dips.

Tales of Symphonia...
Now, I do not think that this game is inherently BAD in its own right, but I was led to believe that it was something unique and special when it's pretty much as generic as generic gets and I feel like an idiot for buying it.
Hence I deem it "stupid" primarily because of the deluded fanbase that tricked me and my own stupidity at being tricked.

I'm not really sure. I remember getting annoyed with the NPCs following me, and really disliking the faux real-time engine; it felt like I was sacrificing control for the ability to get killed faster, and that feeling of impending doom meant that pausing the game every so often to get my bearings and issue orders felt less like strategic planning and more like delaying my swift and inevitable demise.One More Frag said:
Like I said, I don't really understand, since they use more or less the same engine for Planescape Torment, a game I loved. I just chalk it up to Torment being slower-paced and not nearly as combat-oriented, not to mention rendering death much less threatening.
Have you played all of them? You cannot truly say a game "sucks" unless you've played it and you cannot judge a broad series like Final Fantasy, each game handled by a different creative team, through one game.Jark212 said:
Many people will assume you are just making an assumption based on your negative experience with one game in the series or because you're pandering to Yahtzee's prejudices or debatibly popular opinion.
That's why "Fan-Boys" tell you "You suck"
Unlimited Saga. WHAT.THE.HELL. You can't even give actual scenery in the dungeons and the fields, so I'm stuck with some board game set up where my character looks like a monopoly piece and bounces around the place? Weapons that always break, so I have to equip new ones and get the special moves from them all over again? Time limits in the dungeons so that after a certain amount of moves I get kicked out and have to start again? Oh, and the best part of all; I don't get experience or get to keep anything I've collected in a dungeon until I finish it.
The Baldur's gate Fallout spin off known as BOS. Yes I've played yes it's very stupid and not a good kind of stupid either.
Edit: you could safely say it killed Interplay and therefore Fallout 3 so it's bad AND evil. Though I suppose you could just blame Interplay for being stupid and making a game that absolutely no one could ever want.
