OHHH SNAP.
But seriously if I were Prime minister i would impose a trade ban on all Japanese game imports and refuse passports to japanese devs.
Oh and i'd request extradition for Hideo Kojima for crimes against culture.
just so you know, this means war!

Also, almost all unique and interesting games are made by japan devs. We wouldn't even have nintendo without them! A lot of american developers are the ones that make fps games that want to be halo or modern warfare. aka, every bland game.

OT: when you tell people about a game, mention the title and people say "im sorry"

You know your game is terrible when it suffers a 20% price drop after one week in stores.

Quantum Theory, I'm looking at you.
That's actually how I judge a lot of terrible games.

OP:
When it hit clearance before a year
When Solitaire is more preferable
When loading screen take so long that I can microwave up a meal, fix a side dish and drink, eat it all and come back while taking my time
When I beat it in one sitting and have no plans to replay it
When it crashes more than Windows
When I can think up 50 alternatives to a moral choice
When Kotick gets near it (in fairness, it might not have been beforehand)
When it causes your studio to go under
When it's clear that you used the Unreal engine because it was just one of many corners you could cut (seriously, stop fucking doing this. I'm tired of Unreal these days given how it's used for the more expensive shovelware)
When even the early exclusive reviews bash it
When the players groan while playing
When its making no attempts to hide it's shovelware nature
When people don't even joke about it, but rather pretend it didn't exist
When it causes the collapse of the industry itself
When it is advertised solely with T and A (excluding Japanese games, since several of these are good, just the localizing advertising department needs to get the axe)
When even kids can tell how bad it is
When you have to pay Gamestop to take it
When staring into it drives Cthulhu mad

Ohhh no we wouldnt have nintendo! Oh wait, are those the ones whose flagship new game is a remake of an n64 game that i literally mistook for the original when i saw it...the guys who have recycled mario, zelda, and just about every character they've ever created so much that if those characters had walked the distance they have in all thier adventures have worn their shoes down?
NOT THEM, I TAKE IT ALL BACK!

You know your game is terrible when stores don't want to buyback for used after a week on the shelves.

Wow. How do you manage to screw up a game with a Chainsword in it?

Poor argument there (never minding that "bland" is a rather meaningless and subjective insult), western devs make plenty of good, interesting games. Even excluding the ones you obviously dislike due to their popularity.

We could probably get by without Japanese games. Well, by now we could. Stuff like Mario and Metroid is awesome, but now they've had their heyday. JRPGs are so polarising I'm not gonna bring them up (I haven't played any anyway, besides maybe Pokemon Gold and Ruby if they count).

Do I detect a hint of "tongue-in-cheek" here? I hope so.

Why is it that half the reasons in this thread already apply to existing games?

This again? When are going people going to understand that Fable 2 doesn't have a last boss, just a conclusion.
You know your game is terrible when Reaver shoots the conclusion for you.

You know your game is bad when you get so bored with it after you complete it that you can't play it again.

When you start to wonder if the disc is sharp enough to slit your throat with.

When you play in for several hours and still have no idea what the fuck is going on.

-You know its a terrible game when its mentioned on this forum
-Or when you forget to throw it away. It was so uninteresting you actually forget to dispose of it.
-When the player spends all their time playing it thinking of other things they could do instead.
-When a cutscene goes on for more than an hour.
-When there are twice as many copies in the second hand section than the normal section.
-When you clench your teeth at its name being mentioned.

-When Nintendo official magazine gives it below 5/10, anything less then ten in Nintendo official magazine means its bad, below 5 means they would risk losing their jobs just to keep people away from it.

You know your game is terrible when the title contains both the word "Call" and the word "Duty".
