What is the worst game you ever played?

[not a zaar]

Xenosaga: Episode 1
It ended my short lived attraction to jRPGs. The game was so generic and cliched for its genre that it painted in broad strokes everything that was wrong about those types of games, and made it impossible from me to enjoy any other one. It's the only game I really regret buying.

Hard Truck Apocalypse: Rise of the clans made even more funny considering they felt the need to pay for securom 7 to protect this rubbish.
Worms 3D good god what a load of crap.
Operation Flashpoint: Cold war crysis. nuff said

EDIT
Forgot Angel of darkness yes after years of robbing tombs, killing a T-rex and renegade Atlantean Goddesses I still can't hang off a ledge for 20 seconds before falling and thus have to atribbute level up, so instead I now run around French art galleries shooting security guards.

Ristar. I hated that game so much.

May I ask why? It's one of my favourites. Awesome soundtrack, too.

Worst game I've ever played? Drake of the 99 Dragons. Utterly miserable from start to finish, which was a mere two levels in. Terrible, terrible game.

And every time I post in one of these threads, I give this link [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worst_video_games_ever] - pretty much every game on there is a contender, though Drake, Bad Day LA (which I actually enjoyed and finished) and Jumper: Griffin's Story are the only ones on there that I've tried.

I have no idea. I played it a few years after it came out and it just frustrated me.

Men in Black 2: Alien Escape. What a mess. So badly designed that it makes it impossibly hard. Killing one enemy in that game shoule be enough to get through one of the four levels.

Oh God, the Avatar games. There were so many things wrong with them, and what stung worse was that they really could have been good if the people making them had just tried! It doesn't take that much effort to make a game about Avatar good! Just spend more than a week on combat and graphics! They took the fact that they were working with Avatar for granted far too much.

That and this old Superman game for xbox. Again, had so much potential that was lost on them taking Superman for granted.

DC vs. Mortal Kombat
sorry
it just sucked

 

[sheic99]

I have said it before, and I will say it again, Lost Planet.

Yeah, that game was pretty nasty... I still wouldn't rate it the worst game I've ever played. I'd probably choose Simpsons: Road Rage. Or Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb, or maybe Robot Wars: Arena's of Destruction. Man, I own a lot of bad games.

Hey, I liked Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. When I wasn't yelling at my computer. I liked it in the way I like Scream and Snake's on a Plane, it sucks so much that it becomes funny.

Funny thing about the worst games in people's memories: They have to be good enough to be memorable in order to be bad enough that you care. Probably fully 95% of the games mentioned on this thread could be reasoned into this position - good in important ways, bad in ways that stole the fun.

Go Right: Championship Edition

Huh... I kinda thought the whole point of that game was to suck.
You know how the adultswim games are.

Anyway, worst game I've ever played was Superman 64.

 

[esserius]

Superman 64 still holds the place of worst game ever as far as I am concerned, it not only bombarded me with broken controls, broken gameplay and insipid graphics but molested the Superman name at the same time and on the same platform in which Goldeneye proved that games with licenses can be good.

Ugh, yes. Superman 64 must have been created by someone braindead in so many ways... how is it possible to have terrible everything and then RELEASE the game as a completed product? So glad it was just a rental. God this game was terrible.

As for Ristar and Baldur's Gate, those games are awesome. Can't understand why you wouldn't like them. Maybe because they can be difficult, but difficulty is something games sorely lacked even then (playing Baldur's Gate as a caster was... unique).

worst games, well where to start? oh wait right here:
black and white 2
obscure
any and all sims games

before everyone reaches through the screen to slap me for owning these i would like to say that they are actually my sisters games.

(this is just to restore my pride i love HL2, F3 and Painkiller)

Or bad enough to be memorable. Works both ways, yknow.

I've had the pleasure of playing Big Rigs. It was an extremely enjoyable ten minutes. I showed it to a friend who said, and I quote: "That game was not commercially released."
Poor guy was in denial.

Jimmy Neutron's something.

His primary attack was a kick, 'nuff said.

No, I did not get that on my own will, it was a birthday present.

And I was ashamed to own it so I sold it.
Practically threw it at the dude at the counter.

I've played a lot of horrible games, but I'll list the two most recent horrible games I played.

Superman 64 - it was fun, even got past the first few flying levels, but combat and movement were horrible. This is ignoring the graphical quality of the flying levels.

Blacksite - AI and movement were horrible, but that wasn't the main problem.. It could be because I downloaded it, but it was the first game where I was unable to change the graphical settings.(the graphics weren't great, but it's just sad when I can't change them to fix the 20fps I got when looking at the ground. This is on a computer that can run crysis on medium, and had no problem with gears of war, CoD4 and 5 and oblivion on high)

Star Wars: The Gungan Frontier

One of two games I can remember from the short lived Lucas Learning (the other being the frankly awesome Droidworks) and just one game in a long, long line of games derived from The Phantom Menace. The entire object of the game was to put animals on a planet and create a balanced eco-system, hopefully learning something about biology in the process. Unfortunately, the only excitement in the game came from releasing loads of small animals, then about 30 rancors and watching them hunt.

All the Half-Lifes are terrible.

Just kidding, I love them. On a more serious note, Ever Grace, a very obscure game that I got with my PS2, is one of the worst games ever made. It is so, so terrible. I really advise people to play it, just to see how bad games can get.

Anyone who mentioned Big Rigs as bad is insane... The greatest game ever made in my opinion.
