I'm going to interpret "worst" to mean "least useful". Despite that, the least useful one I've seen is also my all-time favourite.
From Baldur's Gate II:

"Remember that, while your character doesn't need to eat, you do. We don't want to lose any dedicated players".

OMG I hated that loading screen. Having snake enjoy his Lucky strike for several minutes whilst trying to quit is no fun at all.
Haha, aside from being great to imagine that, it must be terribly frustrating.

I hated all the ones from GH. They were just too... Try hard? I don't know if that term stands up in a sentence but you know what I mean.

I swear that recently, in a game I can't remember, I saw a loading screen tip that said something like "Watch loading screens for gameplay tips"...

It might have been that Matt Hazard game... not sure..

Generally the ones explaining the controls, because they don't change if you remap them. If it doesn't change, then it isn't specific enough to be helpful anyway. (e.g. Press the shoot button to shoot.)


Or- I hate this one...

[HEADING=2]You were killed by a grenade, watch out for the grenade danger indicator.[/HEADING]
Yeah I know. I think that they are just trying to mock you...
Those bastards I should Grenade them then we'll see who's laughing.

From Dead Space

"use health packs to recover lost health"
The thing is that while this may seem painfully obvious to veteran players such as you and I (along with tips like 'crouching improves accuracy', 'headshots kill faster', 'blocking is useful in tougher fights' or 'be careful of your own weapon's splash damage' etc.) these sorts of things might not be apparant to newer and less experienced/skilled players (hence the fact we are giving tips in the first place, why would we give tips to someone who knows what they are doing already?).

It has to be this one for me also.

"Combine the squad leader bacon with the squad leader eggs for a healthy, nutritious breakfast for freshly spawned squad members."

Seriously.

This is in the fucking game.

"Autosaving... Do not turn off console" - For some reason this makes me want to turn it off, but I know it corrupts your memory so it would be a massive waste of time.

The one which kept annoying me was something to the effect of "use enemy corpses to divert the attention of guards" in Assassin's Creed. Which would be a quite useful tip in a game which, I don't know, allowed you to actually MOVE corpses maybe?

"There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result - Winston Churchill"

This is a fine quote, but Call of Duty 4 is not a good place for it. This is a game where you go around shooting each other "without result" like it's nothing.

Then you question where the hell this grenade indicator was, because you certainly didn't see it...I feel you man.

What is this outside thing? Ah I get it, you mean Outland!
