[Ashcrexl]

You guys know what to do


You know your game is terrible when unskippable can make a series of videos on it...

come on, that's not true. remember meta gear august? i'm still not sure whether THEY liked it or not, but you cant deny that MGS4 is at least above average.

You know your game is terrible when you cannot find one single item of praise on its box, from any critic at all, anywhere.

Also applies to movies and books.

I'd like to add a rider to this.

You know your game/movie/book sucks when it's so flooded by insignificant praise by unknown reviewers as to render any artwork irrelevant. I remember when I worked at Blockbuster, any DVD that came with a laundry list of nominations from festivals that sound like they were made up by someone in a basement was bound to be terrible.

Also, you know your game is terrible if it's called Daikatana.

I'd say, "When you can complete it in less than a day" but that would mean Portal would be in there... so screw that one.

You know your game is terrible when it's in the "£4 or under" section on Steam...

 

[badgersprite]

You know your game is terrible when you need a walkthrough and FAQ just to explain the story that's supposed to be going on.

 

[Ambient]

You know your game is terrible when you just grab a random person and keep running up the side of building and never bother getting further into the storyline of the game.

You know your game is terrible when you decide to do homework instead of play it.

Yes, that's right *censored to prevent Flamewars* I find you terribly boring.

You know your game is terrible when you just grab a random person and keep running up the side of building and never bother getting further into the storyline of the game.

prototype?

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Sorry Silent Hill 4, I'm looking at you.

 

[Continuity]

You know your game is terrible its released for a console then ported to the PC.

 

[Racecarlock]

When putting beige in the game will actually make it more colorful. When you have to look at a roller coaster video just to keep yourself entertained. When your friends in the game call you every 5 minutes to go bowling.

 

[Recron]

when your game is based of a ring tone mascot.

 

[arbiter592]

You know a game sucks when it has less playing it than Beijing Olympic Games 2008

 

[good_omen]

You know your game is terrible when the sales assistant laughs at you after you buy it.

 

[SideburnsPuppy]

...you sit down to start programming your next one, then find out that your keyboard has somehow transformed into a piece of cardboard with "Will streamline for food" written on it in stolen sharpie.

 

[Thundero13]

You know your game is terrible when it's called Final Fantasy III

 

[pretentiousname01]

When you give out an additional free month, and no one still wants to play.

 

[Teachingaddict]

when your game is based of a ring tone mascot.

noooooooooooooooooooo! I had managed to get "that" awful horrible grey tthing out of my head. Damn you to hell!


You know your game is terrible when the sales assistant tells you "not" to buy it.

 

[MrGalactus]

When EA sends a singing box to your house to convince you to play it.

 

[helldragonX]

You know your game is terrible when you feel compelled to return it withing six hours of buying it.(I've done this)

You know your game is terrible when you feel compelled to return it withing six hours of buying it.(I've done this)

Old friend of mine did that not because the game sucked, but because he finished it. Traded it in for an awesome multiplayer title, can't remember which but it was damn fun.

Anyway...oh damn, what hasn't been done. Well you know a game is terrible when even the developer won't acknowledge it's existence. You know, like they did with Rogue Warrior. No advertisement or anything at all about it. Can't blame them.
