Gift idea: Worst PC Game ever

[ADyler]

There's also a rather interesting thing like this


so that you could sit together in one room, watching as a bunch of terrorists are getting shot and singing a song about a Russian soldier returning back home... Or whatever it was all about.

I say, get him one of the Touhou games. These aren't really that bad overall (in fact, as far as I know, it's an indie game series with perhaps the largest and most productive fandom), but the art is absolutely horrible, the setting is kind of weird and a person unfamiliar with the bullet hell genre will be at the very least thoroughly confused. I'm just not sure if they are quite easy to get your hands on outside of Japan.

One of the worst games ever apparantly, and it got released this year:

EDIT: Nevermind, just noticed someone posted it.

Well, I bought this [http://store.steampowered.com/app/45100/] for a friend of mine as a joke for his birthday.

 

[Hexadeximal]

Ultima 9. That's all you need xD

 

[Pharsalus]

Carrier Command: Gaia Mission was overrated junk, get him that. It's like a 3000 a.d. game that actually works mechanically.

This (you kind of have to be British to understand it, but I think there's a certain mass understanding)

Wait... the fuck? Fucking really?

Such things exist. My god we need to issue an official apology on behalf of the nation to the world and do it NOW!

OT: Sonic R is always a good bet.

For everybody who is saying Revelations 2012, the game got a massive update yesterday that makes it "not so bad"

I think the quest to find a worst PC game is misguided.
Instead I offer something utterly weird, not good, compelling.

Spoiler: Cargo! The Quest for Gravity

That horse breeding game on Steam. I know not why it is there apparently around 1,500 people recommend it to their friends :|.

Hey now. For all it's... whatever it is, Cargo is actually a good game.

It's bizarrity does not make it good, it makes it compelling.

You're right, it's not the bizarrity. It's the gameplay and vehicle-building.

Edit: I will concede that its... Cargoness... is not for everyone. I just happened to think it was a fun romp.

Snip

I guess I hate it so much its hard for me to be objective about what it would look like for someone coming to the series fresh

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

I'd go with Dead Island or Brink.

Both were massively hyped up, then completely crashed and burned on launch.

I think they just wouldn't be very good gifts.
What we want here is something so bad it's good in a kind of way, sort of like 'The Room' (starring Tommy Wiseau) but in videogame form.

Uh... Simpsons Hit & Run?
A terrible game yet ridiculously fun.

 

[Silvance]

I bought the horse breeding game for myself. It was a fun way to waste 5 minutes that I had no use for. I'm looking for games that are comically bad. The redneck game fits that description.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I haven't actually played it myself, but I heard Phantasmagoria is pretty bad.

EDIT: Also Dungeon Lords, but that might be cruel and unusual punishment.

Two Worlds is pretty dire. Crashing all the time. Poor voice acting. Terrible story, THE TAINT, ye gods, necromancy, shitty combat. Think Oblivion, now cheapen it, then add old english slapstick type voice actiong and action, take away the humour. That's Two Worlds. It's pretty recent too all things considered.
