"The Room" equivalent in gaming?

[Stuntkid]

Deadly Premonition. Despite the story being really good, AS A GAME the controls and gameplay are horendous. I only played a little of it myself; the box smashing is tedious, the numerous monster model recycling was tiresome and the pacing was torture. But I had a blast watching playthroughs of this. All-in-all it would've been a much better movie than a game (based on how this game turned out).

And from what I heard, the driving segments had bad controls too. I don't know about that, but I'm still sticking with watching playthroughs.

What does this have to do with "The Room"? Well, believe it or not, I would have been a better book. The movie actually was a book, when that didn't work out, it then became a play, then it turned into a $6mil. pieceo'sh!t. But, one of the reasons was because of the horrible acting, script direction, and atmosphere. And don't get me wrong, the story wasn't that good either(it still would've been somewhat better).

I'm so glad you brought this topic up. The media ratio of "The Room" had just reminded me of "Deadly Premontion". While I would perfer DP any day of the week (more points to it's favor)I think SWEARY and Wiseau should be in different lines of work.

EDIT: scratch that. "The Room" as a novel will still be laughably bad.

"Do not stand behind me."

OT:

The Postal series, totally.

...I shouldn't say anything about my amusement on Jesus Christ:Vampire Hunter, should I? Because that was a funny and ...er...odd movie. I'll go away now.

To start us off, I'm going to say Two Worlds.

Stole my answer in the OP!

At least The Room is so bad it's funny. Two Worlds goes beyond even that - I was suicidal within the first 20 minutes.

I would say just about everything released this gaming generation, particularly the library of "manly" 360 games.

But I do admit that is my particular opinion, and I am allowed to it.

I thought this would be about Silent Hill 4, I was going to say that there was already a "The room" in gaming

Most of the cheese factor found in "The Room" is almost perfectly captured in most of the FMV games in the 1990s. The Spoony Experiment covered some great examples with "Ripper" and "Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of the Flesh." But there were literally hundreds, my favorites being the "Tex Murphy" or early "Police Quest" or "SWAT" games.

Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing.

It won worst game of the year two years running.

Seconded, it's a monument to craptacular masterpieces.
