Whats One of the Worst Games You've Ever Played?

[Chefodeath]

Harvest Moon: Magic Melody *twitch*

Don't be fooled by the cutesy name and graphics, this was a piece of shit come straight out of the devil's asshole.

 

[lotrfanatic1]

Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Vegas 2 ... has to the the very bottom of the bottom... the worst of the worst

 

[AntipodalEjecta]

Every single Metroid and Mario game. None of those are even remotely entertaining to me. Okay, I've jumped onto my fifty-bajillionth platform, now what? I think most of the love of franchises like these is due to a desperate clinging to nostalgia in lieu of making great new memories, aka living life. Hey, alright, maybe Mario was great in 1935 when it came out, but likewise there was a time when rolling a tire with a stick was the highlight of a child's day. Then that child was eaten by a dinosaur...right before Samus came along and shot a blue hyphen at him.

Knight's Contract.

Just had no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

 

[deakin_j]

Crysis 2. pretty looking game, shallow, repetitive gameplay, at least in my experience.

 

[Grant Hobba]

GTA 4 ... it just wasn't fun.

 

[Robert Ewing]

A game called Speedy Eggbert. I shit you not.

 

[peruvianskys]

I played Big Rigs: Over the Road, and that was of course the worst. But other than that, I'd have to say that Supreme Commander, Too Human, or Velvet Assassin are the worst games I've ever played.

 

[Shadowfiend]

Beowulf: The Game.
Even for a movie game it was just . . . awful.

 

[M-E-D The Poet]

Crysis 2. pretty looking game, shallow, repetitive gameplay, at least in my experience.

I think crysis 2 was aimed at a pretty specific crowd even though nobody discussed the demographic to which extent a reply such as this one is completely valid

I loved crysis 2 to death but that's because it had a particular gameplay mindset that I enjoy greatly but I can see why not everyone would.

One of the worst games that I've ever played was "Turok 2: Seeds of Evil". From what I hear, that game is so universally hated that GameStop, or whatever they were called back then, refused to even take it off of your hands back in those days let alone buy it from you. I know a guy who once tried to sell his copy. The guy behind the counter refused, and when asked why he wouldn't take it, he opened up a drawer full of Turok 2 cartridges.

Funny. It was regarded as one of the best games on the N64. I find this hard to believe that it was heralded so highly and now nobody likes it anymore. I play it every once in a while and find it to be thoroughly enjoyable. It pushed the limits of the N64 passed what it could do though.

Edit: I guess I should add my own...I don't really have an absolute worst game, but one that I just could never play was Rascal on the Playstation. It's like the developers just forgot to add in the possibility of beating levels. Such an awful game.

This thread just seems to hate on really popular games. I understand that you don't like Halo or Ocarina of Time or Bioshock...but to be on worst games you've ever played? I want to know the best games you've ever played then. O.O

The graphics were great, the gameplay mechanics were fine, and the weapons were over the top awesome, but the level design was some of the worst I've ever seen. It was next to impossible to figure out where you needed to go next, and if you did something correctly, it was probably by accident. This made it basically unplayable for me.

 

[M-E-D The Poet]

F.E.A.R. 2.
I mean, Monolith was never good at sequels, but crap. It's like they're raping their own franchise. snip

NOLF 2 is the exception that proves the rule I guess?

snip
One of the worst games I've played, at least in recent memory, was Batman: Arkham Asylum... snip ...The gameplay: press Triangle to kick ass. In slow motion. Every action sequence is a cut scene... snip

I don't like any brawlers, and the bulk of AA is just brawler gameplay, so I'm with you there. I thought the stealth worked quite well though. Not Thief or Splinter Cell but some of the better stealth play in recent games... ...and did you really expect any Batman game not to be full of fan-service? A Batman game is fan-service.

For me it would be Saints Row 2 on PC. I think I would like it ok if it ran properly but it is so inherently broken that any enjoyment is impossible. PC port or not the vehicle handling is super shit in Saints Row 2, just horrible. That is just what leaps to mind though.

To be fair to saints row 2 : It should have remained an xbox only game, it wasn't meant to be played on anything other than that

or at least console only I'm not quite sure how it worked but it was with the first game highly marketed as one of the 360 big players next to the gears of war and halo franchises

Also OT: Borderlands for me, I don't know people... I just don't know.. but I hated the game to bits!

 

[zombie goat fetish]

Lost Planet 2, the first one was okay. But the second one WOW major suckage.

 

[RagTagBand]

Alone in the Dark. Not the first one, I haven't played that, but the modern one they did for the 360/ps3 that was -actually- like, the 5th AITD, but they decided that numbers were just too confusing.

Worst game i've ever played. Just terrible in every respect.

 

[kreekgod]

ever?

mario is missing

more recently?
Hacker Evolution: Duality

 

[Freddyqaqualung]

I know it's a pretty common answer, but I bought Superman 64. The box looked so nice and I had no internet access, I thought it'd be a good time. Boy oh boy was I wrong.

 

[Shadowhawk77]

Now now Halo had 1 good quality (well i played #3 but that's it) coop singleplayer was always fun for me and my cousin to play but the online made me rage after 5 (count them 5) minutes to piss me off
The worst game Ive ever played was Army of Two: The 40th Day just they have a thousand weapon attachments didnt mean anything... literally 9/10 attachments were found from other guns youve bought making your gun change(ever so slightly) one way or another one 1-2 areas only, and the gameplay was copy and paste from the original which is fine if the settings werent all jacked up from the prefight that must have gone through every single area in the parts that i got to
I ended up playing the same scene like 10 times because a guy with a rocket launcher was hiding on a rooftop and the rocket went so fast it was invisible so you never knew where it came from plus you and your teammate are split up at this point so its impossible to save them if they are hurt which ends up to you waiting for like 10 seconds for them to die
If you loved the first... and you want to play the second... play the first one again and you will be way more happier then wasting money on this one
Edit: Sorry about the rant, just wanted to warn you all

I tend to put bad games out of my head so I don't have to think about them. However...

Star Trek: The Next Generation for Game Boy. Bad controls, missions that didn't make sense, clunky interface, etc. This would be the worst game I ever played.

E. Fucking T.

You people do not even know what bad games are. Allow me to enlighten you.

That game was very bad. I actually liked playing it somewhat, but I had no clue what the goal was, where to get anything, etc. I just kind of played it by moving at random and seeing what happened. Less of a game and more of an experiment. Try this... Did that do something? Well, let's go over there and try something else.

Mario is Missing

It was actually pretty good for what it was: edutainment. It wasn't meant to be a "Play this game for fun!" game. If you go in with that mindset, you'll come out thinking it was a bad game. It was a "Teachers: Let your students play this game to learn about history and geography" game, and it did that pretty darn well.

I would have to say mine would be "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: The Fallen" It was full of maze maps and keycards.

I actually liked The Fallen, myself. Yes, it's ridiculously hard and I haven't beaten anything past the frozen Cardassian station, but I do like playing it.
