Worst Vehicle in a Game

[PseudoDuck]

Any vehicle that has the Mako/Warthog control scheme. There is a reason racing games use the triggers to accelerate/decelerate.

I am the king of the Halo vehicles. I can move them where I need them.

But the Mako... At least the warthog doesn't have gas, brake, and steering on the same analog stick. What the hell is that about. I challenge anyone to do a 3 point turn in the thing. Okay, it can climb almost-vertical mountains, but that's probably because whoever designed the thing knew that people would rather drive up mountains than navigate narrow roads in their awful machine.

I'd have preferred gas/brake and steering on different sticks and a stationary gun on top that only fires in the direction you are driving (or with an auto lock-on system so anything in your field of vision is automatically locked on by the turret); or...and here's a mad thought: get one of the TWO other people in the Mako with you to automatically fire the gun at enemies! What are they doing in there? Playing cards? Enjoying the scenery? Having afternoon tea?

Buggy from HL2. Couldn't steer, skidded out on a dime and was just boring.

Having played Mass Effect on the PC, I honestly cant see what the problem with the MAKO is... I never had any trouble with it. Perhaps its something to do with how the controls were mapped to the XBox controller?
Similarly, the Halo vehicles and Half Life 2 vehicles always worked well for me too.

My vote goes to the god awful quad-bike in Timeshift. Fast as hell, turned far too quickly - meaning you always turned further than you mean to, and the rider was not allowed to turn his head! He had to fixedly stare forwards. What the hell is up with that??? Why the hell aint I allowed to turn my head to look at things?? Why instead do I have to turn the entire damn buggy to face the thing I wish to look at???

Doubt many of you will know what im talking about, but that diamond shaped brown ship in Kirby Air Ride. The really fast one you couldn't change directions in without stopping. I tried to like it, but it just sucked sooo much

I loved that one!

Now, the milk-cart thing? THAT was crap

 

[Woodsey]

The horses from Two Worlds. They were like wrestling a hippo when you're only 3 feet tall.

The MAKO was actually quite ok for me ; I hated the vehicle in GoW 2 and that helicopter or whatever it was in the first crysis game..that level was a *****

 

[Insanum]

I <3'd the mako, It was the one thing i did enjoy on my play through of mass effect. And the warthog.

Meanwhile Mercenaries vehicles....

 

[RavingLibDem]

The Mako was really bad in Mass Effect but the worst ever is in Battletoads. When you have to ride that hover jet....worst level ever.

Dear god yes! am I right in saying that the Gameboy level was actually impossible?

the weelchair in gran turismo 3. takes a hour just to get half way around the track. my brother even challenged me to a game of who would get to bored to continue in a weelchair race of three laps. im not good with things that take a long time so i gave up quickly.

The Benz-patent wagon in Grand Turismo 4 was worse...

anyone one who is saying MAKO needs to go out and play more video games. It handles pretty good, its not the greatest, but it's not that terrible that I would call it the worst.

several other vehicles come to mind, like the rally car from Smugglers Run, the god awful driving controls in Tony Hawk's: Underground, and of course anything from GTA:IV.

Seriously, the only reason you guys are saying the MAKO is because it is from a game you love so dearly, and it is a single fault in that game. But sadly, since everyone loved Halo's crap controls so much, everyone is trying to mimic them and failing. MAKO is about par for in game vehicles now a days.

 

[Soluncreed]

ANY vehicle from Earth Defense Force 2017. They were essentially cardboard boxes shaped like vehicles that handled like rocks.

That game was AWESOME! But why would you ever use the vehicles? The guns were far better.

 

[MercurySteam]

The HL2 vehicles sucked major ass.

I played ME on PC and I don't remember having many problems with the MAKO.

 

[RanD00M]

That flight scene in Crysis.Just don´t do it.

 

[Trotgar]

Mako wasn't that bad, the worst thing was that it steered very much. The hardness was because every planet was mountainy as hell.

 

[Mirroga]

It's not that I didnt like the car in HL2 Ep.2, it just pissed me off that there wasn't a trunk to put the goddamn gnome in!!!!!!!

Ditto, plus it was annoying to defend the whole base from Hunters and Striders using that car.

 

[Dok Zombie]

The God-Damn boat in Half Life 2. That whole level went on way too long.

 

[mechanixis]

DESTROY THE MAKO.

MAY THE MAKO BURN IN HELL.

 

[irishstormtrooper]

Most of the vehicles in Half Life 2. Accelerating by pushing the left stick forward and steering with the same analog stick is not a fun way to drive. Also, the vehicle segments dragged on like nobody's business.

Borderlands car during Mad Mel battle.

Oh god this. I died >9000 times trying to do this, before I finally just sat on the ramp that leads into the battlefield and shot at his car with my sniper for about ten minutes until it blew up.

That's why there is coop, 2 vehicles, 4 players, guy went down in a minute.

For me it's Crysis, I'm still wondering why crytec didn't copy-pasted the vehicles / controls from battlefield . . .
