Homefront. I didn't exactly have a lot of expectations out of a current-gen military FPS that was going to be little more than a weekend distraction, but DAAAAAAMN, is it bad.
I don't think you're quite getting what the word means. Objective means "True regardless of personal opinion". It may well be that Big Rigs has no AI, and is buggy as hell (and it is) but it is a subjective opinion that those are negative qualities.Saviordd1 said:Thats not true though, sure you might be able to have fun with a shit game (Big rigs a good example) but it doesn't make it less shit.
For example, lets take dragon age.
The combat was faster and less dragon ageish
The story was well a story that some people liked and some didn't
The characters had stories, if you didn't like them whatever
The gameplay was mostly bug free
The inventory worked, the game was fair
Do these facts make it fun for everyone? No, but it did what it set out to, it is an RPG, it works, the gameplay works, it tells a story. Thus, it is not shit
Now lets look at big rigs
The driving was broken
There were no physics
The AI did NOT EXIST.
Collision barely existed with the god damn ground.
Only one map worked.
It CTD's at the drop of a hat.
This game is objectively shit. It doesn't do what it went out to do, the gameplay is broken, its full of bugs. It is a great example of shit
HOWEVER some people could have more fun with Big rigs then Dragon Age 2, or visa versa. But that doesn't change the fact that Dragon Age is unbroken, has solid gameplay and does what it says on the tin. You can complain its not the new DAO all you want but its still an objectively good game while big rigs is well...broken to the point it don't think it was ever together.
So, no, worst game can be very objective. But when it comes to what fun you get out of a game? Your right, it is 100% subjective.
Well if you take it as purely enjoyment then yes DA2 could be the worst of 2011 for you.Klumpfot said:I don't think you're quite getting what the word means.

If a question like "What is your vote for the worst game of the year?" is to have a meaningful answer (or discussion), it is probably more helpful to interpret it as "What game this year did you derive the least amount of enjoyment from?"
Because of this, my original assessment of DA2 as the worst game of this year stands. Had I played more games, it is very likely that another game would receive this highly dubious honour, but I must necessarily restrict myself to titles I've had any experience with.
This. So much this. I'm so pissed I actually bought this game. Disappointed.Fanfic_warper said:Duke Nukum Forever, and not just as worst game of 2011, but worst game ever and worst franchise ever.
How original. You're not cool or funny just because you don't like CoD.Lagao said:I'm going with modern warfare 3.
Okay , your right , but if you read the OP he only wants you to consider the games YOU BOUGHT that were released in 2011. Meaning that the choice is limited to games you bought and played . If you bough 2 games , well on of those 2 games have to be the worst of the 2 .BlastedTheWorm said:Let's be honest here. None of the games people have mentioned could seriously be considered as the WORST game of 2011.
There's bound to be a whole shitload of shovelware and other crap that no one's even noticed.
It may be a bit off-topic in my own damn thread, but that has to be one of the greatest things I've read in a long time.Magefeanor said:Dragon Age 2 because some fucktard decided they should make the franchise into Mass Effect in the middle ages with wizards and shit.
