Clearly you haven't seen all of the "Worst game evar!" threads where people say things like Dragon Age, Call of Duty, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Halo, Half-Life, Gears of War, et al. I'm relatively sure that at least four of those titles were probably brought up in the recent "Objectively bad games" thread.TomLikesGuitar said:You're either posting this as flame-bait or you don't play a lot of indie games if you say that Bastion is the WORST indie game you've ever played.aguspal said:Topic.
Suprised this has not been created yet. Well sure, theres plenty of "Bad/worst games" thread but none of them especifically aim towards indie games. So yeah. Lets tell what indie games are (as always, in our opinion) the worst to us.
I will start with this ************:

Because I am STILL a noob in this forums, this image probably dosnt renders right here and most people wont even bother clicking on it since in the URL it already tells you thats the games name is...
BASTION. I honestly dont get what people see in this game. In short, it suffer badly with the pretty bland gameplay. This is always a first for me, I dont care/CANT care about the story of a game if the gameplay is not at the very least decent enough. Its just how I work. Its probably the same reason of why I dont enjoy BIOWARE games...
No flames or anything. I respect the people who liked it, but its just not for me. Oh well.
As always please try to stay civil
I can understand not liking it, sure, and I agree with a lot of the stuff you said, but to label it the WORST is pretty intense.
I'll be honest, a good number of you are just posting flame-bait (I know, I know... "Welcome to the Escapist...") but seriously... most of these games don't compare at all to an actually shitty indie game.
Limbo and Journey are probably the only two games mentioned here that I can truly say were not too fun, and neither one of them is substantially bad.
Call these games overrated or disappointing, but don't label them the WORST.
Try Heavy Payload or Block Fight and then we can talk...

OT: I don't spend much attention on indie games, to tell the truth, so I'd say the worst one I've played was Braid, by virtue of it being so slow and boring that I quit after about two hours. Generally I only hear about indie games from watching TotalBiscuit or various threads around here, and I like to get as much information as I can before checking out a game for myself, indie or not.
