The flat-out worst game you have ever played. EVER.

[Rofl-Mayo]

Turok or Haze, in that they had such hype, and both were just complete pieces of shit. Hell, calling them that is an insult to shit, they were everything wrong with the world squeezed onto two CDs.

Cookie for the reference

I've never tried Haze, is it really that bad?

I liked Haze...

Anyway, Sonic Unleashed, I rarely touch my PS2 now.

Stalker Clear Sky was a crapfest as well, especially disappointing seeing as I love the orginal and Call of Pripyat.

Totally agree.

Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat have both been good enough for me to re-visit them. I un-installed Clear Sky after getting about halfway through the story. They ruined the horror, they ruined the interface, it ran even worse, and most of the maps were shameless re-hashes of Shadow of Chernobyl maps.

CoD4's multiplayer, CoD5's campaign + multiplayer + zombies, CoD6's Spec Ops + CoD7's Campaign + Zombies.

CoD4's multiplayer was fun for about 10 minutes, then you realised it was just a grind to get overpowered weapons to beat people who didn't have to time to unlock it. Too easy, and unbalanced.

WaW's campaign was a joke, and while zombies was ok, other games did it better, first. No redeeming features or interesting parts.

Spec Ops was dire. Same problems as all of the CoD campaigns - Linear, set occurrences, dull AI and pretty much only one way to do things. Yawn.

Black Ops campaign is better than MW2 and WaW's, but it's still retarded. Terrible. Zombies has the same problem as before, with no real improvements.

Terrible series.

I played CoD4's multiplayer and only got to level thirty-something, I had an absolute blast on it personally.

WoW's campaign was respectable and fun - if anything else - and co-operative zombies - whether original or not - was superbly done and great to play.

Spec Ops were original and interesting - sure there may have been few ways to do things, but it's about the challenge.

I enjoyed Black Ops a fair amount too.

My worst games are Halo Wars, really did not enjoy it and probably, and with out a doubt Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow was one of my favorite Sonic character, and this game was just awful, it made me feel physically sick

secondly higher level players get better guns and perks
what the fuck?
once you have proved that you're better than everyone else we'll give you some good guns and perks.
so the good get better while the bad get repeatedly slaughtered and demoralized?
(even if I was good enough to be a level 70 with the bullet-proof-infinite-ammo-double-damage-instant-kill perk I'd still think it was a bull shit system, a fair challenge is better than domination)

in Halo there are 7 perks and none of them are any better than the others. Which are "the best" comes down to player preference.
in CoD there are a shit ton of perks and about 5 or so that can totally make you invulnerable if you're good enough to have unlocked them.

anyway, I can't decide whether Modern Warfare is worse than Black Ops or not

I have no problem with you thinking either of these two are bad games and recon you must be pretty lucky for these to be you're worst two that you've ever played but please don't make up stuff. Higher players do not get better weapons or perks than the lower levels in any of the CoDs from 4 through Blops.
4 - Widely regarded as the best guns were M16 and mp5, both available from the start.
WaW - mp40 is available from level 10
MW2 - ump and scar available from start / early on.
Blops - famas and ak-74u both unlocked in the first 20 odd levels, so is a bit farther than the others but hardly unlocking the bfg's at level 65 or anything.
As for perks 4 and WaW the key ones were stopping power and juggernaut, unlocked from the start. MW2 was stopping power unlocked from the start. Blops, arguable which is best but as soon as you can create a class you can choose which perk to unlock.

OT: Croc 2 I guess... might be something worse out there that I've successfully repressed the memory of it.

EDIT: Oh FF2, wtf was that level system like? Really thought it was terrible.

you're talking about WAW and MW2
I'm talking about MW 1 and Black Ops


WaW had a (fun) zombie mode so I could play that on line after I finished the single player
and MW2 had the Spec Ops missions so I could play those after the single player
so I never even bothered to play the competitive multiplayer in either of those games

it's the myriad of only slightly different weapons that get on my nerves
it really doesn't matter if those 2 guns are the best because there are half a million guns that all look the same at a glance and when you're taking bullets all you have is a glance

(if you don't mind) in Halo the Needler is pink, the DMR is a scoped rifle
in Black Ops the AK-74u is shaped like a gun along with every other gun in black ops

if you try all the different combos to find out which works best for you you'll spend more time on the 'build a class' screen than you would playing
(or I would anyway, the way my head attracts bullets)
and that might all be worth it if they could match the skill levels appropriately
but I'm always up against people who can beat Veteran with their eyes closed

I was talking about all of them actually. The point you made was that the best perks and weapons are available only for the highest levelled players and I was pointing out all the overpowered/overused weapons and perks are those that are available from the start.

As for weapons all being basically the same Blops (Black Ops) is worse for that since a great deal of the guns have very little between them, however there is the option to play against bots so you can learn the layout of the maps which may help if you were to try online play.

4 by this stage you'll have difficulty finding anyone at a low level and doesn't know all the tricks and frag spots by now. Even if there was a low level server available I would guess at it being empty, besides they tried to implement a low level tdm option in WaW and it ended up having the higher levels sneak in through different methods.

Don't really see the flaw in having multiple weapons on offer which all look like guns though seeing as that's what they're based on. Obviously theres more option with how sci-fi weapons look but there's not much that can be changed about actual weapons. Plus sorting by skill level is fairly difficult to do considering level is no indicator of skill, neither is k/d ratio, w/l ratio or anything else measurable.

Too Human or Slaughter House

OT: Final Fantasy 9, I guess. The game's story was bland and ridiculous, the art style was.. Horrid, and the characters were nothing but irritating twats.

:O OMG. I just died a little inside! That's my favourite game ever!! And I didn't actually play it until 2010, yet it still managed to impress me that much, that it knocked Deus Ex off the top spot.
Seriously, I think for so many people FF7 was their introduction to the series or least what defined it for them, so that when 9 came along, for them it wasn't what Final Fantasy was about. But in reality, 9 was a throwback to what Final Fantasy was supposed to be in terms of world and characters. The creator of the series said after making it that 9 was the game that most captured what he felt Final Fantasy was always meant to be, and therefore was his favourite. The sci-fi settings of 7 & 8 were actually the real deviation from series, not the other way round.
Also I think because 7 was such a quantum leap, by the time 9 came around it was just more of the same. A "safe" game that didn't change anything. But for me, it was perfection.

*Standing ovation*
When I read that post, I immediatly got really sad! FF9 is my 2nd, if not tied 1st, favourite game of all time - like you, I only played it a couple of years ago and I thought it was perfection (aside from the graphics but what're ya gonna do?). The story was not bland and ridiculous, it was downright incredible and the characters weren't irritating twats, they were inspirational!

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

The worst one i can remember playing from recent memory was a game called legendary. Just absolutely god awful mess of a game.

It had a good concept going for it...

Shame the gameplay didn't live up to it.

 

[Mikeyfell]

snip

alright so there are good perks at low levels
I was wrong about that

but the whole system is still bunk

player skill should determine the winner and not who can choose the best combination of perks and weapons

in case you haven't guessed I have no skill to brag about in FPS games
but if you put a DMR or a Needler in my hand in Halo I can hold my own against any leveled player
CoD does not have balanced gameplay and it's the fault of the weapons and the perks system

 

[Thamux]

hmmmmmm, Turok...Turok...Turok, i couldnt play it for more than 30 mins....its almost impressive how bad it was

 

[Mikeyfell]

WaW had a (fun) zombie mode so I could play that on line after I finished the single player

BLOPS has zombies.....

yes BLOPS did have zombies but it wasn't fun

the first Nazi Zombie level in WAW was the best 3 rooms, a random weapon box, and you and 3 friends vs the Zombie Apocalypse

nothing about turning on the power
I just wanted to run around and see how long I can survive
now I have to get all the way to the power room before I do that

I have a sneaking suspicion that Nazi Zombies was put in WaW as a joke
then it took off so they made it suck

if they put all the effort then put into making Zombie maps in to the single player mode CoD might not be the worst game I've ever played.

 

[Defense]

Final Fantasy 2 was the worst game I ever played. The characters had as much depth as a sheet of tissue paper, the dungeons were awful, the gameplay was horrible, and it was just a bad experience overall.

The only good thing about it was the music.

 

[Chiyo-Chan]

Action 52 on the Atari 2600...

...Yes, I was that curious.

Action 52 was on the NES and later the Genesis not the 2600.

Sorry, my bad. I never owned the thing, so I wasn't entirely sure.

 

[newwiseman]

E.T. for the atari... it was and is as bad as the you've heard, then again how good can a game be when the dev team is given less than a month to make it, so it can be in stores by Christmas.

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

Fuckin Damnation. Can't believe i bought that game. hated it

I second this motion! You can't see anything! Why? it's all the same colour and texture as what it's in front of. And then good luck aiming at it. God it was bad

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

CoD series past #3.

Oh fuck off.

Aside from CoD4's decent campaign, name one redeeming feature or anything remotely interesting/not broken.

Can't? Didn't think so.

What you mean aside from the multi-player challenges, interesting maps, great level design, Attention to detail, and story? What was broken?

And honestly the single player campaign is the entire game! it's an military FPS! If the Campaign is good, its a good game.

Just ignore him. He's being a troll. Thinking his opinion is always right. It's probably not even his opinion, he's just like "I'm going to hate COD because it's popular and I'm different."

Lair for PS3

Don't agree with the bit in the spoiler.

Spoiler

If the guy hadn't of helped them out and given them tactics and shown them how to actually stop the humans machines they either would of lost or of taken very heavy casualties. I am sure another smurf could of tamed the big dragon and united the people but win with the humans when they have no concept of how to destory it is doubtful but possible. So I don't think it is saying they are stupid and incapable in anyway.

I'm sorry, but what you say would've made all the sense in the WORLD, if the "tactic" you speak of, the one that the ingenious humans came up with in all their glory (praise to the white master race, and all that)....wasn't CHARGE with Alien Horses, and CHARGE with Dragon thingies! What Tactic?
Ok fine, there was that bit with throwing grenades into the engines, but they could've just as easily have thrown rocks in and gotten the same effect.

They probably wouldn't of thought to go straight for it which is why I said they could of either lost or just taken more casualties. It has nothing to do with some white Aryan master race. Also those machines are different from the one we use now how do you that the rock wouldn't of just been chewed up and spit out if it was small enough. I am sure when they made the movie they weren't thinking of a proper battle scene with real life Sun Tzu tactics. I really think you are just way over stating a white supremacy vibe you find in the movie.

Some Spy Kids game for the GBA, it only had two short levels and they both sucked.


Wild arms 4 should get an honorable mention for many reasons I've stated before.

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

I'm going to have to go with Call of Duty 3. One of the worst games ever in my opinion.

Hmm, I actually happened to enjoy that game very much, even more so than Call of Duty 4. If you don't mind, why did you hate it?

OT:I don't think I can actually decide on one game that I hated the most, but I suppose if I had to go with one it'd be Kingsfield for the Playstation.
