Worst game ever?

[Mr Wednesday]

FFX-2

A civil war is averted by a pop-concert.

Frak you, writers of FFX-2.

You have to really dig to find the real shit. The worst games I played were Family Dog, a poorly made platformer for the Snes, Nightmare Circus (or something of a similar name) for the Mega Drive, an abysmally programmed scrolling beat 'em up which gives poignant new meaning to the word "minimal", Fatman for the Mega Drive, a strange Japanese Beat 'Em Up with awful collision detections, sounds and graphics, and, most recently, Blinx The Time Sweeper for the Xbox, an ugly, unexciting, outdated game with a detestable protagonist, uninspired level designs, a broken time-travelling system and sluggish controls. Awful, awful game.

Have you ever played The Crow:City Of Angels

 

[SongsOfDragons]

I've played ET. To a seven-year-old me whose only experience at games up till then was Stargoose, DeluxePaint and Lemmings, this was my first have at my uncle's Atari 2600 and my first ever console go. It was...interesting, I think, I can't remember it much except that I laughed every time the men kept kidnapping ET. Didn't like all the holes though.

It was more than ten years later before I realised, OMG I have actually had the (dis?)honour of playing this god-awful game for myself.

What about Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines? Sure it was based off a movie but it was the worst game I have ever played and definetely the worst game based off a movie ever. I mean just make it a first person shooter through and through but don't add COMPLETELY different elements of gameplay into the game. What I am talking about is the game at if I remember 2 or 3 times you get into a fighting style game when fighting the T-X Terminator chick. A FIGHTING GAME WITHIN A FPS???!!!! WHAT WERE YOU PEOPLE THINKING??? When I mean people I mean Black Ops and Atari who made and published the game respectively. The game was just too short, too lame and just too boring to be passed off as a real game. At least Terminator 3: Redemption was a good game, it truly redeemed this atrocious piece of junk. It was a good thing I only rented the game otherwise I would have truly have been pissed.

I read all these lists and I'm thankful I've pretty much not played any of these.

I must have excellent taste in gaming.

 

[jaykray]

does it have to be video games, because if not then once i played a game of hide and seek that lasted 30 hours...

how does a game of hide and seek last 30 hours?

 

[Marriot]

i would put the candidates between either The Plan or Vampire Rain. Both of those sucked HUGE ones.

 

[NickyT]

There was an old barbie game on the ps1, and you had to make pixle perfect jumps otherwise , And get this, BARBIE DIED!!!!!!(It was my sister's)

 

[lousyshot55]

is it mostly smaller studios that have games that are the suck or is it pretty much evenly spread out between big name studios and smaller named ones?

 

[PingPongJoe]

I haven't gone through all of the pages on this thread, but I hope at least 5 people mentioned Big Rigs.

In 2nd place, 50 cent: BP.

 

[zachbob2]

any GTA game how can it be fun to kill someone and drive away with there car or let them live and drife away with there comcany car knowing ther will be fired when they go back to work. the game is also racist and it isn't really at all fun

 

[N-Sef]

Sonic R, man what were they thinking?

 

[Copter400]

Dark Messiah Of Might And Magic: Elements. A game that encourages exploration in its restricted environments while simultaneously punishing curiosity by occasionally killing you for no good reason.

LIFE!


(seriously I never get to retire to the really high class retirement home! )

 

[Enskie]

I'd like to go with Turok Evolution, why I ever bought that game I don't know, but now it stands as the worst game I've played.

You did NOT just say that a game that let you throw people into walls and off cliffs with a gravity gun and had a Dark Matter cube that sucked people into a mini-black hole and, above all else, had a weapon that had an alternate function which allowed you to fire things that ripped an enemy's body apart limb-by-limb bad...

Seriously though, I agree with you but come on...limb-by-limb blood explosion extraordinare!...

 

[monostable]

March Madness 07...

I can deal with the missed break away dunks, and Vitale yelling until my ears bleed, but the game then decided to erase my backup PG. He's no longer on my team, he just vanished like he witnessed a triple homicide and is now in witness protection.


Just awful.

Why isn't it just called murder?

Any wrestling game with "Smackdown!" in the title. even the brawls in the games look faked! coupled with the terrible commentary. Plus, how come in SvR 2007, the Big Show weighed a good 80lbs more the the Great Khali, but Show was only a Super heavyweight, while Khali was a mega heavyweight, or something like that

 

[TrevorOfCrete]

Soldner, any one who has ever come across it will know why. Most half finished game ever released.

Ultraheavyweight, but ya, after Hear comes the pain, THQ just stopped trying (probably because until now, there no other wrestling games)

Whoever said SiN - boo. I finished the original, the Wages of Sin add-on and SiN: Episode 1. Sure they were buggy at times, but they were fun, unpretentious shooters.

I don't recall playing anything I'd call the worst game ever, but if we were talking recent disappointment, I'm going with Crysis. More stereotypical macho marines with bad accents, another armour clad unmemorable protagonist, cliche dialogue, cliche story, and so on.

[EDIT] Oh, and out of a sheer feeling of frustration (and for an old-school e-penis), Black Cauldron. My character kept starving to death.
