Mass Effect 3. I'm a very picky player when it comes to buying games, and ME3 was my biggest mistake.

Superman 64.

I win.

I never even bothered to try and beat it after playing it for more than 5 minutes.

Sacred 2 wasn't that bad.

Turgid, dreary and had that god awful mountain level that just never ended, but it wasn't that bad.

Kung Fu Panda, but it came with my Xbox. Worst game I bought (and kept) would have to be... Mirror's Edge, I guess. I just can't seem to get far enough that the controls start feeling natural.

I picked up Damnation in the GAME sale for a couple of quid because I though it looked interesting but never brought it at full price.

Thank God I didn't buy it at full price, I would probably have cried. The graphics are sub PS2 and they look even worse on a HD tv. The aiming is crap and the guns have little to no impact on their intended target. The voices are simply crap and your computer controlled AI partners have the self preservation instinct of a retarded fly.

I honestly don't know whether to sell it on or destroy it so the evil cannot harm another person.
Heh, I have Damnation too... but only because my art teacher worked on it and he constantly told us how terrible the game was... just for context he also worked on Americas Army and a demon porn game funded by Clive Barker... heh the top of his class and he got a job animating a goat demon penis...<.<

Achron: Closest thing I have to a game that actually doesn't work. Brilliant concept, let down by very poor UI design, economic model and no auto-pathfinding or auto-retaliate on units. That last point is the big one, I expect my units in a strategy game to be able to act with at least a basic level of autonomy; I don't want to have to use my time travel abilities just to make sure my units don't miss the first 3 salvos of returned fire because they didn't attack back on their own.

Risen and Gothic 4 also both deserve dishonourable mentions for their serious hitbox-graphic dissonance issues. Oh, and I know I'm going to draw flak for this one but Xenoblade Chronicles deserves a place on this list as well for its bad camera control, level scaling and narrative pacing.

This was one absolutely terrible game. Like... it didn't even try to be good.

This was in my younger years, and I really don't even know how I acquired this particular game. Nowadays, though, I always make sure a game is worth my time and money before I get it.

A game called Baroque, you run in a labyrinth, come down to the boss, get killed. Second run, you notice your first weapon is "angel blaster" and save it 'till later. Get down to the boss (labyrinths are fucking weird and makes no sense etc), shoot him... and you go back to the start...I mean what the hell.

ME 2, I have never brought a game I disliked more, most of what I liked about the first had been removed and the rest was in a strip down version. The story wasn't interesting with mostly people it found 2-dimensional, there where a few good ones. The plot had a lot of small holes that kept me from enjoying the better moments, and the game made reapers go from Cthulhu level, to bad popcorn flick. It's the worst game I have ever finished, hoping in vain that it would give me just a bit of why I loved the first.
It's far from the worst game I own and I enjoyed it immensely but yeah I know how you feel. You can see all the cracks starting to form that caused all of the problems people have been having with ME3.

Also I REALLY didn't like how they changed paragon Shepard into a passive-aggressive jerk

Im sure its not technically the worst game I own but I dont fancy digging through my collection to try and find one that may be worse so ill just go with it.

GTA3 yeah there I said it the most disappointing game I own its liked they sucked all the fun out of the game and put it on the shelves most games I can see good bits in even if I dont like them but not here but I only played it for about 12 hours (thats all I could take) so maybe it gets good later on but I really couldnt care less tbh.

Hmm or it could be crash nitro kart that was a piece of garbage but I did get a small amount of fun from it.

Starfox Adventures for the Gamecube.

oh. My. fucking. GOD. That game is quite possibly the worst thing to ever grace the face of the planet, destroying everyone's enjoyment the moment it starts running. It is buggy, filled with terrible puzzles and has some ridiculously un-balanced combat. Eventually the game bugged out to the point of breaking, becoming a slightly more playable broken mess.

Yes, becoming un-playable was actually an IMPROVEMENT for this thing.
Really? I frickin' love that game.

OT: Need for Speed Prostreet for PS2.

Sacred 2 wasn't that bad.
In your opinion. I thought it was utter shit.
Well naturally you thought it was shit. You wouldn't have said it was shit otherwise. And, to be fair, it was shit.

The thing that I wanted to talk to you about though was why it was shit because really, when you think about it, lots of elements of the game are very promising: It has a massive game world, several distinct and interesting playable characters, loads of loot, a system to combo chain special moves together, epic boss battles, variable terrain and online co-op.

I often think about it and end up re-installing it thinking "it must be better than I remember" only to uninstall it after a couple of hours of boredom. The thing is though, I can never quite put my finger on why I'm bored. The game just isn't fun and to me, considering my earlier plus points, that makes Sacred 2 fascinating.

I have a list: Prince of Persia 3D, Painkiller Overdose, the James Cameron's Avatar game, Richochet, Deus Ex: Invisible War, Toki Tori, Gratuitous Space Battles (insofar as it can be considered a game), The Path (same qualifier) and the god awful, unplayable PC port of Resident Evil 4.

I think I have Bubsy 3D laying around somewhere, I used to play it all the time but as I've grown, and have been told by the internet, it's one of the worst of all time.
