What is the worst game you own?

[zedel]

Mass Effect; A sci-fi channel-esque movie trying to be a game. I spent way too much time trying to like the game.

 

[Ninjat_126]

Probably Tom Clancy's Endwar. If I wanted to play Rock Paper Scissors, I could have done it for free.

Also, The Seed: Warzone. A tactical cutscene watching simulator without any of MGS's charm. I may have smashed the disk up with a hammer, unless that was just a daydream.

For one that I still have, "Brink". Only reason I bought it was because I had a coupon for a supermarket and they accepted it on games. That was a bad decision, except the weapon creator. Parkour sucked, online play was near damn impossible and what the hell happened to the plot?

Brink's in a class of it's own for me. The ideas sounded brilliant, but the execution was seriously lacking, and the release bugs kind of killed it before it could find any momentum and a playerbase. Still, the class system, parkour system, weapon mod system and bodytypes were great ideas, and I wish they'd worked better. The customisation system would have been great if they'd had better visual distinction between the teams too.

I'm gonna say the adventures of Link, I own that game, and I do not like it.

I liked Zelda 2... -3-

Now if you would've said, the Wand of Gamelon, or Faces of Evil, I'd be more inclined to agree with you...<.<

 

[Proverbial Jon]

Got to be any of these:

- Hydrophobia
- I Am Alive
- Fable 2
- Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Damn, they're all bad.

Lego Island 2. Hahaha, it seemed so fun as a child, and playing it now I realise it's all just a bunch of minigames connected by insanely long load screens! Noooooo!

Indigo Prophecy, a pretentious, badly written pile of wank.

It might be that, but I do still enjoy certain moments. Yes, the second half is absolutely terrible, but the first half I found pretty gripping and chilling. I can't think of many game moments which rival the feeling of having to hide the evidence as the police knock on your door. And at least it was unique. It's a shame the gameplay often just turned into a game of "Simon Says".

But it was more like castlevania then Zelda.

Wow... I almost bought this game last week on Playstation Store's PS2 classics section.

I did like EndWar, though, but I AM a huge Clancy fan.

 

[sirkai007]

Urbz: Sims in the city (feat. the black eyed peas).

Well I did have something clever to say about this but now I keep thinking about how terrible the Black Eyed Peas did during last years Super Bowl Half-time show.

As for me I think DX: Invisible War is about as bad as it gets for my collection. I'm not exactly sure but I think the combination of my machine still running Vista and it being a steam copy have rendered it inoperable so now I can't even play the stupid game.

 

[OmegaAlucard777]

GTA4, i found that game so bad. Driving is wonky and weird. Gunplay is shocking and confusing.

You ever tried Saints Row 2 driving? It's like driving a well greased banana peel on an oil slick it's so terrible.

You did'nt like SR2 driving? I loved it so much. I could make that car dance and stop on a dime easily. It took me a while to get used to SR3 driving with triggers. I prefered (A) as forward and (X) as hand brake. And to probably blow your mind even further, I loved the Mako is ME1. I can't understand how people can find controlling that thing hard.

OT: The worst game I own.... Lets see.... Probably Superman Returns. I mean, it's fun and all. But out of my collection that has to be the worst one.

 

[Snukastyle]

For games I currently own, I'd say X-Blades. O only got so far into the game, and got frustrated due to a combination of a bad map and repetitive gameplay.

 

[Mad Maniac with axe-firing chainsaw]

Gonna go for Imperial Glory. It plays like a cheap Total War knock-off and feels clunky as all hell. It's a very old game, but it's one of the few games I've never felt the inclination to come back to.

I liked it. It did feel like a cheap Total War knock-off, but until Napoleon: TW came along, that was all we had for that time period. Besides, it made for fun LAN battles with friends.

I admit this may be partially me. I bought it because it looked like the sort of thing I play Total War for, only in an era I'd never seen that sort of gameplay in. After playing Empire for a while, I've come to the conclusion I just don't find musket-based warfare very enjoyable to simulate; I prefer the fast-paced manouevering and charging involved in Medieval and Ancient warfare a' la Rome and Medieval II. Early modern period warfare feels a bit... inflexible? I find I miss my cavalry.

The naval combat in Imperial Glory was hilariously awkward though; I won most battles at sea through trireme-style ramming and boarding. XD

Regardless of your opinion on the actual gameplay, winning a Napoleonic era ship battle through Greek-era tactics is a sight worth witnessing.

 

[pharaoh malik]

shadow the hedgehog, The thing is I don't even remember buying it. I think it just appeared one day like hell shat. As to why I hate it its just too hard to explain (think metal bolts in your hip)

I kinda liked that game. I guess it's the idea of Sonic character shooting guns and riding a motorcycle to be ludicrously awesome.

I liked it in theory.... Hell, I loved the trailer for that game. But it didn't really work or ever feel right. It felt kind of forced. Or maybe it was the cheesy dialogue and the shitty voice acting that ruined the "dark" tone for me. Also game play was kind of a mess. :C I had FUN - BUT the motorcycles and the guns weren't really necessary.

In short there seemed to be no point.

God the writing was so bad.... *cringes*

It could be one of the worst games I own as well.
Once upon a time my mom bought me this god awful piece of shit.

I think I generally make it a point not to have or buy crappy games. :|

 

[Prince Regent]

Enchanted Arms. I bought it form a friend after I read some interesting things about it. Did not enjoy oit.

 

[Grivahri]

Dead Rising or Tom Clancys End War. Horrible games

 

[Ghonzor]

Lair. Hands down Lair.

 

[Jazoni89]

Probably this piece of crap...

I got it with a game bundle on Ebay with my CD-32, and I read up so much about the game, and how bad it was. So, I tried it for ten minutes thinking that it couldn't be that bad, by god was I wrong, so very wrong.

Shallow, unresponsive, and a overall mess of a fighting game.

I do somewhat like the game's futuristic style though.

 

[MasterMasamune]

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky. I don't know what the hell was going through my mind when I bought it. Walking around a dull, uninteresting room to find the entrance to the next dull, uninteresting room is not a fun experience. It's not the worst game I've played (that award goes to some unresponsive-as-ass Wii party shovelware wagglefest I can't remember the name of), but definitely the worst I own.

I've also got some really crappy movie-licensed games. Once again, what the hell was going through my mind when I bought those?

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Tenkaichi. I liked BT2, never got used to BT3, and loathed this one. I will give BT3 one thing: at least it improved slightly on BT2's combat system. UT throws the entire thing out the window in favor of rock-paper-scissors gameplay. And I don't even mean Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors or Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors; I mean "press a button within a certain time frame and hope its the button opposite to your opponent's choice". The battles are a sort of combonation of Budokai (melee mode) and Budokai Tenkaichi (blast mode), but when you switch between the two the game pauses for a moment to go "YOU ARE IN MELEE/BLAST MODE NOW". The battles have been completely dumbed down to button mashing for no good reason. This game has taught me to never believe advertising and to rent games before buying them.
