Understandable, especially the bad controls. I recall clicking the left analog stick to use binoculars.Joseph375 said:
The flat-out worst game you have ever played. EVER.

Far Cry 2; that game was one of the most unintuitive pieces of garbage I have ever played.
Think you can be stealthy and snipe people from high grass and no one will ever see you? Nope, 1 gunshot and suddenly an entire platoon knows your exact position, even if you've been hiding in the grass the entire time and no one ever even saw you!
Need to assassinate someone in the neutral zone, but know any gunshot will give away your position? No problem, just use your knife on the target in a dark alley for a stealth kill while no one is watching... is what any other game would have you do. Instead watch as your knife strike awakens every guard in a 1/2 mile radius and makes you a war criminal!
Fast paced gun play! Sounds awesome! Only it takes 20 minutes to get to just about any battle, enemies can shoot you with perfect accuracy with an AK while you'll be lucky to hit them once from 50 feet away, and should you die, enjoy the no auto save and watch as 3 hours of hard work are obliterated because the AI decided to sent 4 loaded jeeps to murder you!
Sound like fun to you? Congratulations, you officially hate yourself!

Well maybe its just my experience but I felt the game didnt really know what it wanted to be. The stages of life went by so quick. The space stage bugged out the hell on me. It gave me a quest, and then... didnt tell me what to do after picking up the mcguffin. No planet to turn it in, no one to talk to... nothing.imnotparanoid said:
Then there was the issue with my cd key. (Bought new. At best buy) which for some reason kept reading as invalid even though it LET ME INSTALL WITH IT. D:<
and EA's customer support was useless. Canned support lines telling me to reinstall(which I did, (MULTIPLE TIMES), telling me to run it as administrator, (which did nothing), and then finally telling me that my copy was defective.
SO I gave up. 40 bucks down the drain. Never ever buying a game new and vastly hyped. Never again.
I've never played through an awful game in full, but from bits and pieces, I can say:
-Turok
-Drake of the 99 Dragons
Both were just awful from looking at them.
As for whole games, I've only really encountered bland, and I don't have particularly high standards either. I enjoy Halo on it's higher difficulties and it took me 4 CoD games in a row to become totally disgusted by the franchise's reckless regurgitation of the same formula, but I can say that IMO these games were just snooze-tastic:
-Rainbow Six Vegas: Boring brown grey repetitive cheese with a throwaway plot and a sense of linearity and lack of care that doesn't do justice to any of the earlier games, plus it's not very challenging even on "realistic" difficulty.
-Far Cry (the first one): Started out with a really nice premise, but then devolved into brown and grey shooting things that I don't even care about. Hey, here's an ability which shows you the trails of an enemy, too bad you'll never use it because the rest of the game progresses in a straight line.

I'm torn between two titles, so I'll just name them both.
Haze made my eyes and ears bleed. It offended my very soul, it was so horrible. Yes, it was a relatively early foray into this generation of console gaming, but that doesn't justify having graphics that could've been pulled off last generation, or even the generation before. Add to that the horrendous level design, the atrocious voice acting and just the overall blandness of the gameplay and I can't help but name it one of the worst I've ever played.
Terminator: Salvation is the other, and what a horrible game that was. I picked it up on release day, went home and sat down to play it co-op with a buddy of mine. Two hours later, we'd finished the game and had no idea what to do with the rest of our day. The balancing of the AI was terrible, being extremely difficult in some sections (I'm looking at you, vehicle sections) and retardedly easy in others. The story was pretty lame, adn the voice acting was, once again, pretty abysmal. The best part of the voice acting was Common in the same role from the movie of the same name, and he's not that great to begin with (though he was decent in the game and movie). Really, really bad game.

Sacred 2
I got it because it was a limited edition pack and I have to buy them.
I played it for a whole night, went to sleep.
Played it again and still felt nothing.
After 3 days of trying to get into it, I broke into tears and all the horror of that game rushed to me like a kebab out my arse!
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON ON THIS GAME! WHO AM I! WHY ARE THERE GHOMES?
WHAT DO I DO!

Final Fantasy XIII

Zelda's Majora's Mask

That Zorro game where you had to sneak about and getting into a fight meant remembering what they had done, but they didn't tell you that (or perhaps they did and I skipped it, but there was no way to go back to it).
Then there's Breed aka "Halo-killer", which it certainly was not. The level design was poor and the pacing was just as terrible.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. That's... That's enough music for now, boys.NeedAUserName said:
I remember playing some comically awful licensed Taz (Yes, the cartoon Tasmanian Devil) game when I was young, and all I really remember was its abysmal quality.
