El Shaddai. The art design was great, but oh sweet jesus the level design was bad. Combat was the exact same three enemies in the same featureless arena with the same couple abilities for the ENTIRE game. And combat wasn't rare or anything, you just do the same exact battle over and over and over and over again. Like, every five fucking minutes. And the battles went on for goddamned ever because the enemies all have like 900% health for some reason. Then there was some of the worst platforming I've ever experienced. I hated it. And I really, really wanted to like it.

I enjoyed DNF very much. Then again I got it for $5 on steam. To me DA2 was the worst game I bought, although Stronghold 3 would have been if I bought it I am sure. Best game would have to be Cthulhu Saves the World though just thought I should mention it.

Worst game of the year that I played,

I avoided most of the steamers this year, but the one that managed to get through by process of the previous games and good reviews from sources that are usually reliable would have to be dragon age 2 of all the games I played.

Worst game of the year overall, Call of Juarez..., there are games that deal with racist characters and it is essential for the plot (such as LA noire) and then there are games that are flat out racist. Juarez is the latter

The one game I bought this year that I thought was shit was Uncharted,
but that didn't come out this year so...
Dirt 3. Actually liked the game itself but 4 hours of installing and getting Games for windows Live to work, thats wors than any other game this year and it was totally unnecessary -.-

Crysis 2.

Just felt clunky, slow, and if I wanted to feel like a super-soldier I can just play Halo Reach or Deus Ex Human Revolution.

I was playing this on Xbox, mind you, so did PC players have it better?

Most disappointing game though...Brink. Had high hopes for it, actually enjoyed it for a bit, and then the online (its main selling point, apart from the SMART system) failed.

Call Of Juarez: The Cartel - biggest shit
BF 3 - over-hyped pile of bugs
SOST 2 - (very) early beta for 40$

Duke Nukem Forever. i got this game for free as present and played through this mess and after i finished it i just HAD to physically destroy the disk. Probably did gaming world a favour.

Duke was pretty bad, but for me it has to be pkmon black and white as there is no point in playing it more than once.
Yeah. My main gripe was that I couldn't for the life of me get attached to any of the pokemon. Thing is, the Dreamland thing would give you the opportunity to build a dream team, but it's too damn time consuming.

For me it's a strong contender for both Duke Nukem Forever and Portal 2, and Duke doesn't just qualify for 'of the year' for me, but also for 'worst game EVER!' and 'worst franchise ever'

Portal 2 for its lack of...well everything. (then again, I can say the same thing for Portal 1).

Worst game I played is Infamous I got it for free and I still feel cheated thanks to the time I wasted playing it.

Other than that I am afraid I have nothing I have only bought 2 new games this year and they have both been solid gold purchases (plus one isnt technically new as its a ps2 game).

I will say Duke Nukem Forever seeing as I played the demo and it was pretty bad (weak reason I know)

Worst Game: Probably Call of Juarez.

Worst game I actually played: Batman: Arkham City.

DON'T HURT ME!!!

Now, understand that I didn't buy many games this year. I didn't get Brink, The Cartel or any other pieces of shit. Arkham City IS a good game, but between the letdown after Arkham Asylum and the fact that it was the worst of what [b/]I[/b] played, I have to pick it.

Worst thing I tried this year has been Bodycount, worse from reviews and commentary on it has to be Call Of Juarez: The Cartel

Well it depends, if Battlefield 3 is patched it may be up there for GOTY.

If not, then by default it is the worst as it barely works.
What system are you on? I have had problems connecting on the Xbox, but nothing really bad, it is on par with Bad Company 2 for me right now.

OT: I don't know about worse overall, but for me, probably Crysis 2. Not really bad, but boring. I felt really weak in the game for being a super death soldier. I stopped playing after the first alien fight.

EDIT: Also in b4 COD MW3 har har har.

Considering the only games I've played from this year are Little Big Planet 2, Portal 2, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron and Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy...I gotta say Portal 2 is the worst game of the year for me, it's the only one I haven't finished and both Duodecim and Portal were let downs.

Portal just edges it because as opposed to the original which was simple and fun yet challenging and entertaining, the sequel had gimmicks shoe-horned in, the comedy wasn't as sharp or as dark and the puzzles just weren't as fun.

So I'm sorry all the Valve fans on this site but my worst game of the year so far is Portal 2!

actually, let me rephrase that. X-destinies is hands down the worst. It's so bad, you've never even played it. It looks like it'd be right at home on the ps2 and yet still has serious framerate issues, it's combat system is boring, just shoddy overall. A shame really, the story sucks you in but the gameplay issues are simply too large to ignore.


No, i'm not sorry for my double post. Fuck off.

Worst game... uhm... fuck. I only got 4 new games this year and i haven't been disappointed.

Seeing a lot of brink hate though and that one Neptunia comment made me a little sad :'(
