You have to beat one infamously bad game

[HeatproofShAdOw]

Cheetah Men 2. Please don't hit me if you did play it.

 

[Clive Howlitzer]

I have played many infamously terrible games all the way through. Equinox and Robodemons come to mind.

 

[Darh Abdomino]

KOTOR 2. And you have to do the dark side ending. no mods.

Or Too Human.

 

[Haagrum]

Championship mode for WrestleMania 2000 on the N64, with the "Win the Royal Rumble" condition.

Don't get me wrong, that game was awesome. Winning that one match, though... Did it once, and I don't know how.

MW2, because while it is horrid, the campaign plays out like a Steven Seagal movie, and I've been known to partake of a few of his movies.


And enjoy them.


And they're often longer than a MW2 playthrough.

If you think MW2 is one of the worst games ever it only shows you've never played a truely awful game. Quit your bitching, the game may suck, but it's not THAT bad.

As for the thread, hows this for fucked up? The first game my brother and I ever owned: ET on the Atari 2600. Yeah, and we're still huge game nerds after that even.

[edit] The more I read replies, the angrier I get. People need to stop the dumbass hipster trash comments. Dragon Age 2 is not INFAMOUSLY bad. Nor are games that you may not like, but are widely regarded as good, like Fallout 3. Infamously bad is shit like Superman 64, ET, Daikatana, Cheetahmen, Vampire Rain, etc. Games with no redeeming value whatsoever.

I played Terminator Salvation just for the easy Platinum trophy but that 1 Platinum just feels ... dirty now

 

[loc978]

Funny thing is, according to this thread, damn near every game is infamously bad (by no fault of the OP's).

If I wanted to be a dick, I'd say I've already completed Halo:CE... but that doesn't really count, it's actually a famously good game that I happen to detest.

I'll say Superman 64... just because it's a part of gaming history that I managed to completely avoid... and I'm pretty sure it can be beaten.

MY GOD I LOVED THAT GAME. We had it set up at our local rpg game store, and people would have tournaments on that thing like it was a Vegas Boxing match, bets, screaming, cigars and all.

And yes, that Rumble match was INSANELY difficult. I won a couple of times, but only out of what I consider luck.

That game was also where I started making my character, "Bad Bad Leroy Brown", and have made him in every wrestling game since. ^_^

 

[DirgeNovak]

Apparently Kane and Lynch 2 lasts about three hours. I'll grab some Advil and I'll be good to go.

 

[Grottnikk]

I think I'll go with E.T. as well. I know it's a horrible game because I've played it. It left me scarred for life. I would go back and play it just to spite it - to spit in it's eye.

 

[Misterian]

Oh god this is horrible, its like asking what kind of torture method you'd prefer.

I guess I'd go with Big Rigs, because it doesn't completely destroy my soul.

Yeah I've heard of that game, pretty clever choice since from what I saw in gameplay footage it's like you're racing with all the cheats on.

though I was thinking Superman 64, but that might be worst.

 

[Vangaurd227]

1 word.......STORMRISE! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormrise

I regretfully thought it would be a good idea to buy a console rts....I was wrong...but if I can stay awake long enough i could probably beat it

 

[Faladorian]

But I already played Oblivion!

[small]Ooh, controversial![/small]

Not really lol I liked Oblivion a lot, but I absolutely understand why other people wouldn't. It's glitchy and messy and ugly and broken and boring xD

OT: I would beat ET for the Atari 2600. Voted the worst game in the world, but extremely short.

 

[Dr.Susse]

Quest for Camelot.

If off-tripe and haggis that you found under the couch were a game this would be it.

 

[shrekfan246]

Guys, when choosing a game that's "infamously bad" you might want to avoid titles that got over 80% (and in some cases over 90%) on Metacritic.

I'll go for "Plumbers don't wear ties" Short, easy and utterly dreadful.

Pfffffahahahaha. This is The Escapist, where Call of Duty, Halo, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Gears of War, Bioshock, Final Fantasy, KOTOR, Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Assassin's Creed, Dead Space, Arkham Asylum/City, Uncharted, Mass Effect, and any Nintendo franchise are just begging to be torn apart by the people on this website, despite the fact that all of them are fairly well-developed games with competent writing and gameplay and typically no game-breaking bugs (exception for Bethesda games, mostly) that are all received very well by reviewers (which garners criticism that the reviewers were all paid off).

Threads like this one should specify that responses should at least try to be objective, because while you personally might hate Modern Warfare, that doesn't make it an objectively terrible game.

Anyway, OT: I'd probably pick Daikatana because while it's terrible, it at least tried to be unique. As long as I'm allowed to cheat. . . otherwise I might as well pick up Big Rigs, Superman 64, or Bubsy 3D.

 

[Denamic]

I tried beating Silver Surfer for 4 months as a kid.
This is more than anyone should ever have to go through.

Everyone really hated Final Fantasy XIII, but I kinda liked it. Does that mean I'm not allowed to pick it?

Nobody ever mentions FF10-2. That game was disgusting. I only played it halfway through, though. It was a final fantasy after all.

FFX-2 is, in its gameplay, a fundamentally good game.
It's just that the bubbly girly shit is really fucking obnoxious.

 

[Dangit2019]

HAR HAR HAR LETS MAKE A JOKE ABOUT A AAA GAME BY PUTTING IT AS OUR CHOICE HERP DERP. Seriously though, I would have to say LSL: Box Office Bust just because it's easy and stupid instead of broken and torturous.

 

[Bostur]

Was there a game based on Plan 9 From Outer Space?

I'd totally pick that if so.

There sure was, and it got pretty bad reviews so it would qualify. Get your old Amiga out of the closet.

[NostromoNXS]

Spider-Man 3. It is a miserable, painful experience in an open environment. Aquaman is right up there too.

 

[Kenbo Slice]

You guys remember this right?

It's not that the games bad, it's just really really fucking hard. I've never been able to beat it.
