What is the worst game you ever played?

[Flour]

Halo 3

I'm playing it, because I want to finish it.
But it's as if I'm not playing a Halo game, or perhaps a 3rd party sequel that wanted to show that they're better than Bungie, and failing hard.

Spoiler: Small rant, not important but message me if you disagree.

The bloom is too bright, it doesn't properly switch bloom intensity, controls are completely changed, motion blur was not needed, and even though I had a decent understanding of HL2's story after 3 hours, I still do not know what is happening in Halo 3 after 5 hours playing.
My final complaint about the game is the AI. It's just cheap how obvious the AI's cheating is. They know where I am even though I went under the dam, I've had them appear in front of me through two of those blue energy barriers, at times those shield drain specials do not work on them and the AI can decide when a weapon is going to lose all it's charges/ammo.(killing a brute with a hammer before he got to me = 10 charge in hammer, and that same brute's hammer had 90 charge after he tried to hit me four times)

No I do not suck at console shooters, I'm able to finish PD:Z and Halo 1/2 on hard without dieing, often finishing with 90% ammo in my weapons.

Soldier of Fortune: Payback. Awful awful attempt at being a CoD4 clone.

Agreed.

Hard to pinpoint just one but there were a handful of Atari games i wasted my money on in the 80's that would fit the bill, the most common game I owned that seems to popular in the most hated lists is E.T.

Mirrors edge. Its the second worst next gen game to Sonic the Hedge hog.

recently? Halo3.
I just dont get on with it, the AI is piss poor, the brutes aren't half as fun as the elites, they have a pack mentality so they follow each other in terms of actions, unless the elites who had an alpha male to take charge, take him out and the rest aren't sure what to do, while the brutes just turn into the flood if you get them angry.

The weapons, doesn't feel like i'm firing them at all, and what the fuck is it with the short travel distance? unloading a clip only to find your bullets dont go that far is a fucking cheap way of getting you close to the combat, no bungie, no I dont not agree with your forced gameplay, I want to play how I feel not how you dictate.

the "doesn't look like a corridor but it fucking is a corridor" aspect of the game, you get what looks like a huge play field but your constantly funnelled down pretend corridors, Halo 1 never had this problem? so why does its technically supperior sequel suffer this? oh yeah, they had a psychologist on board that noticed some people get lost at first. Half Life doesn't feel forced, so why does a game that comes out 10 years later feel like that?.

I was really looking foward to Halo 3, I was expecting the same feeling i had from the first game, but no.... bungie decided I wasn't worth the effort, wankers.

It's a tie between Vampire Rain and Bullet Witch.

 

[DigitalSushi]

Reign of Fire. Ugly, frustrating, not even worth the money I spent to rent it. They boasted on the box that you could play as the dragons but you had to beat the shitty human campaign which was just a shitty driving combat game. You could hardly even shoot up, which sucked because, you know, the dragons were up there.

LOL sorry to laugh at your predicament, but hahaha, not being able to shoot up in a dragon game is like being in bed with Jessica Alba and finding you dont have a penis.

Halo 2 and 3. The first halo was not to bad, it was well balanced between single and multiplayer. But at the sequals went on they stated ditching the single player and more on the multiplayer, which kinda sucks because I, like others, Don't buy games to play with others. Plus even if you were a super powered soldier you think while takeing fire by an enemy tank you would still to somethint other then hop around and run side to side.

 

[sirsolo]

Most games I didnt like were the ones that didn't play on my computer..
I would have to say Maplestory tho. Pointless to the point that I can't make.

 

[Arsen]

Mario is Missing.

*shudders*

 

[Ganado_Headshot]

Operation Darkness, I nearly snapped the disk in half.

 

[Aura Guardian]

Has anyone played "Aquaman" or "Drake of the 99 dragons"?

Got them both as a gag gift.
Oh my lord.............bad

 

[SimuLord]

The worst game I've personally played? Search Button Quest, a browser-based game on the Escapist that inv...OK, I'm done.

Worst game I've ever played was Airport Tycoon. That game was a buggy, broken, borked mess.

It's like they were supposed to be bad but that's just wishful thinking.

The box looked cool, unfortunately it didnt occur to me that the fact the writing on the box appeared to have been translated from another language on babelfish would reflect on the general shiteness of the game.

 

[JWAN]

Big Rigsff the road racing. Widely acknowledged as the worst game of all time.

it had no game element, you fell through bridges and if you actually did anything correctly it would crash

Cant remember all the bad games i've played through all my years of gaming, so i'll just post the latest craptastic game i've played: Need For Speed - Pro Street, like WTF??, They took a franchise who used to be freaking great, took out ALL the fun parts and released it, seriously, wtf?, i remember playing NFS: Porsche back around the year 2000, and it was f'ing great, easily the most fun i've had with a racing game, it involved great tracks, great cars, police chases, and endless multiplayer fun, but with NFS: Pro Street, you have:
Generic and boring cars.
Legal racing (no cops)
Really boring tracks (no innovation left in the franchise)
and Drag Race in which you gas and switch gears...thats it (Where's the fun in that??)
And a bunch of other generic racing game stuff that no one gives a crap about.

I got the game as a christmas present after i'd bought a 360 (for Assassin's Creed, best next-gen game i've played), only reason my brother bought me it was because he wanted to play multiplayer with me, ended up just lying in my room throughout the holidays, none of us even touched it, but then i got around to play it, and oh dear lord was i crushed with disapointment.

*Sorry for the very long rant, it's just that when i get going i have a hard time stopping myself ^^*

Most people who know me would think I would say No More Heroes but I would say that NMH is just the most overrated game I have ever played: there's another idea for a forum topic though I think it's already floating around. I have to say it (NMH) comes close to the bottom though.

However, I played the ET game for the Atari (my friend had it) and I have to say that I'm not surprised that it killed video games; until the NES resurrected them. He (and my uncles) had that really bad version of Pac Man too.

Superman 64 is another game that I thankfully never owned but had the horror of trying at a friends house.

After that there's Athena (NES), the original Metal Gear (NES), Tron: Mazes (no not kidding; it was on the intellivision), then we have No More Heroes.
