So I've noticed a few "top 5" stuff going around but I don't think there's been quite enough hatred and negativity going around. So, this thread is used to discuss all the top 5 worst games that you've played this year. Try to keep rage and flaming to a minimum though.
Alright, starting us off, NUMBER 5:
But imagine that that's the case for the PC game.
Alright, so this might need some explaining. I played a good lot of Rainbow Six Vegas 2 with a friend and had a hell of a lot of fun. The leveling up in the campaign, Terrorist Hunt, all the gun variation and and silly sounding potentially racist accented comrades. Good fun.
Then this game goes and shits on it.
The epitome of the "Modern Military Shooter" the game is a ridiculously easy mundane walk through boring looking environments while things that aren't you take away any kind of engaging gameplay from things that are you.
You'll get walking mechs, flying drones, magical see-through wall vision and boring fucking forced stealth sections. A miserable game if there ever was one, and to top it off, the multiplayer is a massive clusterfuck.
NUMBER 4
First off, not, this isn't a "fjebsk.fefs.k gaemn is 2 hrad" rant. No, I fucking love Dark Souls. I love the melee combat, I love the boss fights, I love the environments and I love the weapon variation. You name something in Dark Souls, chances are I love it . So when I had the chance to play Dark Souls on PC, great, right?
Wrong.
Turns out that FromSoft got the most incompetent team of gibbering retard baby chimps to port this game over to PC because without unofficial modifications and outside input that doesn't come with the game, it's fucking broken.
Controls with mouse and keyboard are abysmal and unworkable, resolution is capped ridiculously low, there are barely any graphics settings and the ones that are there don't impact the utterly shit framerate caused by the shit port.
Great game, awful port.
NUMBER 3
So Darksiders the first wasn't very original. Probably anyone will agree with that. The gameplay is somewhat dull hacking and slashing, the dungeon design is ripped from Zelda, and even the somewhat unique elements like the story and setting were mishandled and kind of a clusterfuck.
But it still had some kind of identity and challenge.
War felt cool to control. He had a big fuckin' sword and some big fuckin' fists and you had to know when to use shit and when to back off. It had a level up system but only the most basic, keeping the essentials of the character throughout the game.
Darksiders 2 however, feels like the biggest "design by committee" game I've ever played.
"Let's add more leveling up and random loot because fuck making a balanced game, it's popular right now!"
"Prince of Persia platforming? Well sure thing jimmy bob! People seem to like that!"
"Relatable characters and making sense with aspects of our plot? Fuck no, that shit's dull!"
It's also just boring to play. Combat is ridiculously easy even on the highest difficulty, always ends just as it feels like you're getting into it, and if you do manage to get your health low enough, the game is constantly throwing potions at you. Ai partners also seems fairly common and when you've got one of those around, well them buddy boy, you don't need to do fucking anything, because they're absolutely invincible and deal massive damage to every enemy in a massive AoE.
The worst thing about Darksiders 2 is that it could easily have been good. Darksiders 1 was... maybe not good, but serviceable. Mostly enjoyable. Darksiders 2 has nothing. It is a game in which I fail to comprehend how anyone can enjoy it.
Darksiders 2 easily gains my "Number 3 worst game" of 2012 award, and well as my "Number 1 most wasted potential" award of 2012!
NUMBER 2
BORING BORING BORING BORING BORING
Boring characters in the past, boring characters in the future. Boring gameplay, boring plot, boring environments and boring sidequests. Boring Assassin's guild, boring naval missions, boring protagonist and boring levels of choice in terms of weapon and clothing variation.

NUMBER 1
So, what game is even worse than Assassin's Creed 3? What game is more boring, more putrid than the excruciating badness that was Assassin's Creed 3?
DEAD PIXELS
A game that rides entirely on it's Indie cred and attempts to be "unique" turn into one of the most boring and uninspired games I have ever played.
The most basic description is "Diablo with a zombie apocalypse". That concept could at least last an hour of amusement. Having random environments and challenging combat would be fun.
Dead Pixels has nothing. "Random" environments is random backgrounds. Otherwise, you hold down the right button and run past the zombies. If you're wanting any kind of cool weapons, you'll have to grind your dick off to get the cash to do so. 'Different' game modes are the same game with even more dull adaptations to it.
Dead Pixels has no redeeming features. It looks like shit, it feels like shit, it controls like shit, the variation is shit and the challenge is shit. An absolutely derivative game that fails to accomplish anything on any level.
So there we are. My bottom 5. Your turn!
