Worst vehicles in gaming

[krazykidd]

I would probably say any horse in any game ever
assassin's creed gets a special mention as being particularly crap

When did a horse become a vehicle? Then again , it was going to say the hog from crash bandicoot 1 so ...

OT: as for actual vehicle ... Dammit now all i think of is the bicycle from GTA san adreas .


Capcha : question mark? Don't question me capcha!

This is Halo right? Then I believe that the forklift would like to have a word with you... of course I guess you could say that it doesn't really count as a "Useful" vehicle that's bad per say, more like a "Joke" vehicle that's intentionally bad.

While I agree that the Forklift is an intentionally bad vehicle, I am forever in its debt by somehow getting me through this section on "The Pillar of Autumn" on Legendary that took me about an hour to complete.

Forklifts never die Jorge, they're just missing in action... *cries*

There is fanart of fucking everything.

On a funnier note, i've found forlifts are excellent if you plonk a mine under them when they're blocking a route on a forge map. Nobody ever thinks "hmm, maybe I shouldn't ram that conspicuously placed forklift to get past".

I remember them actually being quite decent. Though I usually played Forgotten Hope.
I can not recall anything that made me go full rage mode over its uselessness.

Pretty much every vehicle in "Shadow the Hedgehog".

God,that game was awful!

Re: Mako

*sigh* No one appreciates the work involved in that thing.

Agreed. I thought the Mako was incredibly fun, I drove it around bouncing off cliffs, driving up the most ridiculous mountains and it still made it across most objects and it was just plain.. fun.

I loved the Mako! I never understood why so many people whined about it. It was fun to drive and I actually thought the thing handled amazingly well, despite what Yahtzee said. I only wish there had been some more diverse terrain to explore with it.

I'm pretty sure that's official Bungie art for Reach, but I could be wrong. Either way it stands as a testament to the sheer awesomeness of the forklift.

OT: My least favorite vehicle ever is the Hammerhead tank in ME2. I hate that thing, it rides into the game and is all like, "I'mma replace yo Mako!" Yeah, it can move. But it can't take a hit. And I also take issue with its guns. The Mako's cannon had pinpoint accuracy, even at extremely close range if you scope in and I defy anyone who says otherwise. The Hammerhead does less damage (It feels like), and is a real ***** if you try to shoot something it doesn't want to. If it's auto-aiming to a Geth trooper and you want to shoot a Prime, it'll just miss everything. Seriously, fuck that thing.

 

[R9-APLHA]

The truck in the Jurassic Park 3DO game. That is all.

 

[Saulkar]

Mako? Oh hell no, it's a wonderful piece of machinery and you should feel bad for bad mouthing it! D:

Seriously, I liked the Mako. And even though they had the Hammer in ME2, it just didn't feel the same. ;~;

And I'll go with the floating-boat-whatchumacallit section in Half Life 2. Though it gets really fun in Episode 2. ^-^

I personally really LOVED the Mako! I had a lot of fun with it an personally cannot see why anybody had any trouble with it at all. From my first moments with it I had no difficulty learning how to use it.

Yet more fellow gamers revel in the Mako's awesomeness!!!

 

[Souplex]

Both the hovercraft, and Buggy in Half Life 2. Nobody can defend those things.

 

[Aur0ra145]

world of tanks.. the amx 40.. painfully slow with a gun that cant hurt anything, on the up side most people mistake it for a duck

Umhh. LOLtraktor? AKA Leichttraktor

Why? It sounds like this...

The helicopters in the Battlefield games, can't speak for the older games but as far as my experience with Bad Company 2 and Battlefield 3 goes they are so difficult to control that I either end up flying them out of the map boundaries or crash. I have only ever managed to get a kill on the helicopter as a minigun passenger, driving it myself I fail every time. Making a vehicle difficult to control doesn't make it "realistic" or "edgy", that's bad game design.

The tanks and the cars on the other hand are at least manageable to control, if not a little clunky.

The Helicopter from Earth Defence Force. All of the vehicles in that game had handling problems but the chopper was the worst.

This guy knows what he's talking about!

That helicopter was hilariously bad. It had such terrible maneuverability, the guns and rockets were tough to aim properly and didn't really do much damage even if they hit... ugh.

BUT!

I'd argue that it's not actually the worst vehicle in that game. With the helicopter, at least you could fly up to the very top of the map, hop out, then fire a bazooka downward from the helicopter's wing and rain death and destruction upon the heads of your foes while keeping yourself safely out of their range.

The speeder bike on the other hand...

Now THAT was junk. Fixed-direction guns that did practically no damage and couldn't be used against jumping or aerial targets, the bike itself had such low armor that it would be instantly destroyed if it took any fire, and it managed to combine difficult controls with high speeds - meaning you were probably just going to slam into a building or something, destroy the bike, and hurt yourself.

Having considered your post, your completely right. I suppose now I think about it, I didn't really use the speeder (because it was so utterly useless) which is why the helicopter pooped into my head first.

The only thing the speeder was any good for was putting distance between yourself and the enemies, or quickly getting to a better vehicle.

P.S. Have you tried the Mech in insect Armageddon? The controls for it have been fixed, but it travels as quickly as a cruise liner would on land.

I LOVE the motherfucking mako.

On the other hand, I hate the horses from red dead redemption. Fuck driving cattle and fuck using RT for slowing down.

 

[galaktar]

The ever-present pintos from Far Cry 2. Couldn't run away from anything, were transparent to bullets, and you always managed to forget where you left it until it exploded because of the fire everywhere... right next to you.

 

[Infernai]

Pretty much every vehicle in "Shadow the Hedgehog".

God,that game was awful!

^ I'm gonna have to go with this. Everything in that game was fucking atrocious though. Sonic 06 was worse though...oh so much worse.

 

[realist1990]

Horses in Red Dead Redemption.

They freakin run away from you if you don't immediately jump on them after whistling!
And there's no easy way to make them stop. It's annoying.

this...my way of dealing with those bastards?
expend ALL my bullets from an evans repeater in red-eye into the fucker then use the war horse deed to get a new one...I would then try to intimidate the new horse by skinning the old one in front of it...I like to think it worked
