Games that make you cringe just looking at them.

[MiserableOldGit]

Bayonetta. Bayo-fuckin-netta. I've had more fun watching orphans burn than watching the teasers for this game. I don't think I've ever seen such a facile pile of schoolboyish nonsense in my life. It's not kitch, or ironic, just a collection of other men's purile wank fantasies- I haven't even played it and it makes me want to hit myself in the head with a hammer.
Which games do you think are less than ideal ambassadors for gaming culture?

For what is here now, I'd have to say... That Saw game, so much potential blown out the window. Then again the same happened to the movie franchise after the second, but that's my opinion.

But for the future: The Twilight "Saga" game.

Oh sure, it's not here now... but it will be... it will be.

Heh. Weird. I was thinking Bayonetta too, as this page loaded.

 

[Yudas]

WET made me cringe when It was being developed but you guys are right - Bayonetta takes the cake.

Words cannot describe the stupid.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

Band Hero. Wow who doesn't want to play as Taylor Swift and make stupid Kanye West references to friends that they don't have in the room.

 

[The Rockerfly]

Hmm probably High School Musical 3
because....*shudder*
Do I really need to explain?

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

One japanese game that caused a lot of controversy.

The box art was enough for me to die inside.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Fahrenheit.

It's one of my favorite games of all time, and for good reasons, but whenever I look at it I just think "Why did you have to include so many shitty shitty mini-games just because you wanted variation?" And of course there is always the thought: "Why didn't you make the ending better pasted and not so rushed?".

It's a great fucking experience as a game, but what makes it a great experience isn't because of stupid mini-games and I think we can all agree on that. I just hope to god Heavy Rain doesn't have any of those.

Godbless you sir, I agree.

Also- WET, DJ Hero, Guitar Hero...

Oh, this isn;t a game but it's related: Boondock Saints 2.

Boondock saints 2? To bring to a close all those unanswered questions we had following the first one, no doubt...

That, as well as the Saw game. Killing Floor also made me cringe til I actually played the game.
I've since bought it, as it is awesome fun.
I also don't see the OFLC censoring that one -.- (fucking retards).
-Edit-
I forgot Wet. That game looked absolutely awful, and after playing the demo for ten minutes, and then getting bored to the point I couldn't be bothered to finish even the demo, I knew it would be just one big steaming pile of shit (though, apart from Fallout 3, what have Bethesda managed to get right? haha).

Wow, so many newbies with Bill Hicks Avatar's.
Haha, oh well, I'm not complaining.
And OT: It's a shame to see such crap come from the same mind that gave us the likes of Devil May Cry 1, 2 (i liked it, deal with it), 3, and 4.

Strange that Famitsu gave a it a perfect score, I won't be picking it up though thats f'sho, also DJ Hero *BLERGH*

 

[mattman106]

After watching some Bayonetta videos just now I've can only say 'that is what people have been getting exicted about?!' it looks like a terrible DMC copy.

 

[TelHybrid]

Wii-Fit.

Anyone who takes that seriously as a work out must seriously be in bad shape.

 

[L3m0n_L1m3]

Hannah Montana games. Honestly, who thought those were a good idea.

 

[Nic JT]

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing
It is described as quite possible the worst racing game ever. It is seriously horrible.

 

[Immobile]

Desperate Housewives.
just....just no.

 

[C117]

Pokémon games in general. They used to be good, until Ruby and Sapphire came out, but nowadays they're freakin' embarassingly bad!

 

[MiserableOldGit]

Desperate Housewives.
just....just no.

Christ-on-a-crutch I thought you were taking the piss. It's real, boys and girls. Witness the Shitness...
