Portal. I found it to be very mediocre and linear, and the memes that still continue to this very day are very annoying.

Warcraft: Orcs & Humans

Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Blizzard, it's just in this hypothetical situation it would be interesting to see how things developed.

Well it would be League Of Legends, i played it alot awhile back, when i first tried out the game i got all my friends into playing it. We had loads of fun for almost a year. But then i started to grow tired of the game and how some of my friends started to rage during matches and become those people you hate in multiplayer games so i quit the game...My friends have not.

One year later, im still playing games on my own while hearing them swear over skype. So it would be league of legends just to get my friends start playing games with me :p. That or just travel back in time and never mentioned the game for them.

Second would be COD4, as the second post stated, it ruined multiplayer gaming and the FPS gengre, i loved the old school quake/unreal type of gameplay. Thank god Tribes:ascend came and rescued me.

ICO, damn all that games sexism/male elitism!!! Have you seen the people defending this woman bashing male superiority game?!
Damn, beat me to it.

Absolutely right though. How people could not have seen the sexist filth oozing from this horrendous piece of trash these past 10 years is unbelievable.

I'd remove the game that got me interested in computer games in the first place so that would be Rockman on the Vic 20...maybe then i might have found something more challenging than computer games to occupy my time...and internet forums lol

I have to agree with anyone who said they wouldn't want to remove anything. There are no games I feel have objectively hurt the industry or myself. There are games which have been a waste of money or redundant, but people still find enjoyment in a lot of these titles. I haven't met anyone who actually liked Superman 64, but even that game isn't as bad as people make it out to be. It's boring and it's so hard that most haven't seen more than one stage. Progress is a process of trial and error and removing the errors from existence isn't smart. Now this might just be me being crazy though.

Remove Pong... remove them all?
But seriously, right now it'd be GT4: bought it years ago, PS2 broke... Bought a 'new' one last year (second hand) and it wouldn't run on mine, then dad got a 'new' one, and it runs, so finally able to play it after like 7 years... and the penalties on the special races and the ideas behind the endurance races and the mixed realism, and then the fact that I have to fucking beat it, shit physics and unfairness be damned!

I have some candidates!

Chrono Cross. It wasn't *technically* meant to be a sequel, so we still leave room for Chrono Trigger to have a legitimate storyline sequel. And now the company doesn't have the excuse to not ever touch Chrono again, of "oh but we diiiiiiid give you a sequel, hur hur hur." And then we wouldn't have this "Schala is a blonde scrappy kid" abomination, and Magus wouldn't turn into a loser who can only equip one spell per battle or whatever. Whoever turned Schala into Kid deserves a place in the Special Hell for people who talk in the theater.

World of Warcraft, the original one, so we could see what other MMO would have popped up in its place. Because frankly, WoW seems really silly and shallow.

Final Fantasy 2, so Square/Squeenix would have GONE ON TO OTHER THINGS DARNIT. (Like making that real sequel to Chrono Trigger.) Alternatively, FFVII, just to spite all the fans who are causing Squeenix to pump out endless weird extensions of that game. Why has this one game spawned so many freaking side games?

If you want to do Science to the world, you go back and take out a major pillar of gaming. Try Super Mario Bros., just to see what would have come up had that not been around. I don't hate the games; I'm just curious. Or the first Zelda game.

I'd remove one of the big hits which made a crapload of money - I don't know, Battlefield 3 maybe? GTA IV? - and then release the exact same game under my name. Of course, I'd copy all the assets and source code first. Even considering all the cash that was spent on marketing, I'd still be a happy little mouse.
CHEATER!!!

You broke my one rule. Your punishment must be severe...

Good luck posting in the forums without your EYES...

actually what game's removal would be the most destructive to the largest group of people..wow? the first mario?
maybe the first doom since it was the first FPS which would either make set the creation of the current FPS back bye years or stop them from ever being made.

The "D-souls" Series tbh. They created the most annoying fanbase I've ever witnessed. The amount of people of circle-jerking about the game is just too much. Not to mention the fanbase are actually PROMOTING shitty cash in PC ports.

But if fanbases are ignored? Probably Civ 5. It was a HUGE step back from the greatness that is Civ 4.

i see your Golden Eye,

and raise you Wolfenstien 3D

FPS's don't even GET to exists :D
Technically if you're going that route you would need to get rid of the early dungeon hack games like Alkabeth, which in turn inspired ID to create Catacomb 3D (action oriented dungon hack), which in turn led to Wolfenstein.

My choice however would probably be Diablo 3, because when all is done, the seven seal are broken, the angels sound the final horn of judgment and my life is laid bare before me, my purchase of that game will stand as a black mark damning my eternal soul to the very pits of corporate hell it was concieved in.

Actually, since much of the mechanics and inspiration from the subsequent Final Fantasy sequels went into making Chrono Trigger, the Chrono Trigger that you know wouldn't exist either and instead be replaced by a new beast entirely, whether for good or ill. See how hard this is?

My biggest disappointment in gaming has been Blacksite: Area 51. I've stated this many times. If Blacksite never existed, I wouldn't have to think about it when I remember the old Area 51, one of my top shooters ever.

I honestly cant think of any game that made me THAT angry so I can delete it from history just like that, simply because I know for a fact than some other people like it.

All of the games have a purpose, I belive. Even the horrible ones like Superman 64, Big rigs and whatnot are good for a laugh or two for some people. Same as ET, althougt this one playing a big part on the videogames crash makes it the closest to a game I would like to delete from history, but still, we dont know if videogames would necessarily handle better without ET simply because we dont know how the story would progress from there.


So yeah, I dont wish to delete any game from existence, even what I consider the absolute most horrible, boring, overrated game that I have ever played ; Dragon Age: Origins (You have SO dissapointed me), But still, theres people who like that stuff, then let it live, why should I kill it?



And COD dosnt deserves to be killed either. No game does IMO.

I'm going to have to say Final Fantasy VII seeing as that was the main point when JRPG's tried to make everyone of their characters as angsty as possible and started making games with more cutscenes than actual gameplay.

Rapelay.

it's a game that hasn't had much impact in the world (I think) and a game entierly about rape just shouldn't exist.

Well I could say something that's well known as being horrible, such as ET or Big Rigs, but you have to remember that without them, there would be no hilariously bad games to make fun of.

I say Call of Duty 4 then, I enjoyed it, but since it's came out, online gaming in those games are full of trickshotters, people with too many Xs in their names, and quickscope montages.

So many to choose from.. but straight off, Call of Duty.

No, not the 4th one, I mean the first one. Without it, none of the others could be created. All round win if you ask me.

Fallout: New vegas.
Was just miles behind Fallout 3, it's only redeeming thing was the DLC Old World Blues, which I suppose was worht the money, but when I finished that, I just felt incredibly bored by going back to the dead landscape with unlikable characters.
I am aware that it may not be the worst game made, however the worst games even have some redeeming features - they are considered the worst, and thus allow game devs to know what to avoid doing, thus actually being helpful, while NV was liked by a fair few people, and thus is worse. I just hope FO4 isn't going to suffer the same fate.
