List the worst game you have ever played.

[Gameguy20100]

There are some terrible games out there that's undeniable.

and I think we need a bit of a change of pace.

So list below the worst game you have ever played in your life.

my contribution?

Two worlds.

think oblivion now downgrade the graphics so it looks like it belongs on the original xbox, then imagine that the game-play was designed by a rhesus monkey, then take out all the good parts of the story.

I have played some rip offs and some of them were ok but two worlds? IT is without a doubt the worst game I have ever played in my 12 years of being a gamer.

In b4 half of the responses are "CoD/Battlefield/Halo/Skyrim/Half-Life 2/*insert popular game here*, lolz"

Although in all seriousness, for me it would have to be Spy Games: Elevator Mission. It's not buggy or incomplete or anything of that sort. It works as it probably was intended to work. However, since it's obvious the developer's intention was "make the most boring and worst possible Wolfenstein 3D clone with no redeeming qualities and stick it on the Wii", the game plummets into being easily the game I despise the most out of everything I've played. And considering I rarely ever end up hating a game (the only two others I can think of being Duke Nukem: Forever and Need for Speed: Undercover), that is saying something.

So... Morrowind?

I kid, I kid.

Like always, my answer really can't be anything except Sonic the Hedgehog, perhaps more commonly known as Sonic '06.

There have been games that didn't hold my interest because they felt bland, or that frustrated me because there were obviously problems during development or game mechanics just didn't mesh well with me, or infuriated me because they just completely threw up in the face of my nostalgia for earlier games in the same franchise, but Sonic '06 was just a perfect storm of terrible that I can't even fathom.

Wanted to say FF9, YAY for returning to the style of the old games, but I hated the story with a passion! I need to replay it at some point to see if that was just me back then, having too much expectations.

Ugh...I can still remember getting Two Worlds on launch day, having finished Oblivion I wanted something to do. Took it back the same day after finding the section of the game where they never finished the graphics and just left a white void. Terrible game.

The worst I can remember is Tomorrow Never Dies on the PS1, EA of course! I was super excited after Goldeneye, and was willing to accept the shift to third person, but ugh, that game was bad.

Half Minuite Hero. Fun for about half an hour till the novelty wears off, then it becomes crushingly repetitive.

 

[Vern5]

I'd say this is a toss up between Baldur's Gate or Final Fantasy VII.

Yes! The two games that seemed to have struck their generation so hard they we're all still reeling from the cultural impact. They're shit games that have not stood the test of time. Granted, their presence in history is vital as they served as inspiration for other, less shitty games. But, as games, these two are predictable, boring, and predictably boring.

Now, where did I put that flame shield...

 

[Doom972]

And now for a non-troll post!

There's an old DOS game I got as a kid called Cyberbykes. It's a VR-style 3D motorcycle shooter that was barely functional on modern hardware at the time. It's very ugly and boring.

The horror:


I might've played worse games, but if so, they were too forgettable.

Naughty Bear.

A terribly broken and soul-crushingly unfunny Manhunt clone.

 

[Caiphus]

My brother used to get our parents to buy movie tie-ins when we were a lot younger. I always hated them. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was proooobably the worst.

 

[Clowndoe]

I can trump everyone here. I actually played Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. Other games listed at least had a minimum of technical adequacy - Even Sonic '06.

A racing game that you payed for, had one map, let you have one opponent with literally no AI (it stood in place at the starting line), no collision with buildings and bridges, the ability to reverse to an unlimited speed, and a slew of other problems. But don't take my word for it:


"You're winner!!!"

Sure doesn't feel like it.

Why did you do this to yourself

I think you win.

I was going to say Final Fantasy X-2.

This is a tough one for me as I don't usually buy games just on a whim. Probably F.E.A.R. which is extremely over-rated imo. I did not enjoy a single second of that game and just finished it so it was not a waste of money. Not scary at all, extremely bland everything and boring gunplay. Even for its time it was a below average game aside from the a.i. The first darkness game could also get a dishonorable mention.

See, but Big Rigs is on an entirely different plane of existence than... every other "bad" game, specifically because it hardly functions as a program and doesn't function as a game. It's as much of a game as is Microsoft Excel. Sure, it was supposed to be a game and be a product designed to provide entertainment (or at least I assume as much), but when it fails at even the most basic functions? What, in my opinion, makes Sonic '06 a more tragic tale is the fact that while you're playing it you can obviously tell it's held together by little more than paste and tack, but you can play it.

Worst game I ever played was probably Raze's Hell.

Buggy, gory to an immature level, some levels were piss easy while others were hilariously, brokenly hard, story was stupid, graphics were meh. So bad that the only thing I truly remember about it is the name, and how much I did not like it.

There are definitely worse games out there (like Big Rigs) but I haven't played them.

 

[Harlemura]

Without a doubt, X-Blades.
Literally the only thing I can say was good about the game was its scenery. So yeah, basically you could get an equally enjoyable experience from just looking at a picture. At least then you wouldn't have to put up with the worst combat I have ever come across in a video game.
The amount of stuff it tries and fails at is actually pretty impressive. Story, characters, RPG elements, an actual functioning jump, the list goes on and on.

My answer was going to be the Godfather video game, which was so fucking boring I gave up after 20 mins of slogging through it.

 

[Soundwave]

Alpha Protocol. Got about halfway through it, and then a coked up crazy piece of bullshit stabbed my techie character to death over and over and over. It was worse than the final boss of street fighter IV.

 

[Trucken]

I was about to say the universally hated Ghostbusters, but I can't. I used to play that on Commodore 64 and I had a freakin' blast with it when I was a kid. Might hate it today, but I loved it back then.

I'm actually having some trouble coming up with a game that I felt was absolutely terrible. Many games have bored me and just made me stop playing, but thinking of one that I truly thought sucked is a whole different thing.

Hmmm... perhaps State Of Emergency for the PS2? I couldn't be arsed with that game, it was difficult as hell and just wasn't fun. I don't know how many hours I put into that game, but it has to be less than 10. How it scored as highly as it did I'll never figure out.


I mean, it even looks fun in this clip, but damn it, it isn't!
