The worst game of this generation.

Darkest of Days. I bought it thinking "This seems like a great game, I get to go back in time and mow people down with my feature weapons...."
...I want that $60 and 3 hours of my life back please.

As far as I can tell, we're talking about competent games that you just didn't like for some reason, in which case I'll proly say Far Cry 2 for being such a boring slough.
Now, for an actually pathetically incompetent game, I'd proly say that game where Germany invades the US, forget what it was called and only played it with friends but it was terrible.

Prince of Persia. The entire game consists of a 1 minute platforming section, a 10 second QTE combat section and a puzzle. Try playing that over and over for hours without it getting the slighest bit more difficult the entire time.
Borderlands gets an honourable mention too. That game has some incredibly stupid design choices, it felt like I was playing one of those fan mods that you get for free. However I can kind of see how some people would find it fun for people who like multiplayer.
Kayne and Lynch 2 gets my vote as the worst game that I haven't played. Just looking at screen shots is enough to make my eyes bleed, seriously what were they thinking with that design choice? And on top of that I hear the gameplay is below average too, sounds brilliant.
Could probably scroll through ED's offended page and have the same experience for free.

It was slow but definitely not boring, thats a very engaging game for me.Yomandude said:
Worst game I've played from this generation of consoles would have to be MW2. I'm not quite sure what it was about the game, but it was probably that it was just unending hordes of guys you needed to mow down, and attrition doesn't make for a fun game. Multiplayer was average so I'm not gonna play that game again.
Second place would have to be Front Mission Evolved. The singleplayer was fairly good, but the forced use of certain leg modules kinda wrecked a lot of it for me. Multiplayer didn't seem to work at all which made me really sad cause it had LOTS of potential.
Don't worry about it, you're right to assume it was bad.LWS666 said:
It was such a regression from its predecesor that it hurt, and was advertised to be a much better game than it actually was. It basically was just a let down, and the Demo was more fun than the actual game.
OT: Borderlands.
Don't ask me why, I just hated it. Original trailers had me me thinking it was gonna be a Sci Fi Epic, and then it turned out to be a ironically shallow shooter with really nothing to it (yes, gun randomization was cool).
Maybe it was the fact that the game I wanted turned out to be the exact opposite of what I thought it would be, maybe it was just it wasn't up my alley. But damn was I dissapointed.
Did you honestly expect a whacky comedy gun jerk off?
Sonic Freeriders made me physically sick, something I thought a game couldn't do. So it is the shittiest game to me.
Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust. You know a game is bad when you can't stand looking at the box.
Yes, actually. "You're going to need guns. A hell of a lot of guns." ...yeah. Was going in that direction. Maybe the mood wasn't pointing that way. But, still. Did you read the Game Informer spread about it? It was most likely going in that direction, with the super-generic design. Now? It has its own style, its own claim to fame. It's not following in the footsteps of Mass Effect.Tdc2182 said:
Already said, but Borderlands. Why:
-Despite there being billions of guns, I could only ever find 7. 7 guns, with a billion varieties on said guns. I do not consider a +2 damage out put on my rifle a new gun. I consider it an attachment at best.
-The level system was broken. If you were two levels under recommended, the tiny rat monster was impossible to kill. If you were two levels over, two swift punches to the face could bring down the biggest beast.
-Dull, repetitive levels. I liked the art style. It is not every day you see them switch it up. And what did they do with this art? More dull brown. Exciting.
-The humor began to disappear after a while. I remember busting a nut the first time I met nine-toes, and getting a good laugh out of Clap trap at the beginning of the game. What happened to that stuff? At the end it was all shoot and kill, no jokes. Complete tone shift
-The end of the game really pissed me off.

I have no problem with boss fights. However, I was promised loot, and instead of loot, I got nothing. No reward. The end cut scene didn't even make me feel accomplished, more like I got played by some *****.
