I'm cheap, so I'm usually really picky about the games I buy. That being said, I own the PC version of Two Worlds that I bought as a joke so I could mock it for a friend. It was just as awful as expected. The story is nonsensical as early as the very first few cutscenes, the characters are unlikable, and the graphics are awful for the time when it came out.
And then there's the horseriding... I swear that's what I remember most from that game, the AWFUL horseriding. You'd be like riding along at a full gallop and just barely touch the key to stop, and the horse would slide to a halt instantly on its haunches. You do that to a real horse, it'll either kill you or die before it does it again!

Dead or Alive:Extreme Beach Volleyball(Xbox)
Hell it barely even qualifies as a game.The only good thing about it is it didn't cost me anything

I own Sniper. The real title on the box reads Snajper which probably means sniper in some other language. The game is hilariously bad(your guy seems to be a professional assassin who gets caught in the first in game mission which is followed by a pathetic jail break). The game tries to blend RPG mechanics and FPS mechanics but the is marred by UI issues. The graphics are also rather abysmal with poor animations and all.
For all its faults, its rather unknown(the title is very hard to google too) but the last time I read the reviews, they were rather poor.
I also own a retail copy of Limbo of the Lost. Yes, THE Limbo of the Lost.

Army of Two. My boyfriend and I love to indulge in a bit of FPS co-opage from time to time and a friend recommended it. Everything about it was bad, but the horrific dialogue and hideous pimping options for the guns really took the mick. It's so awful that we couldn't bear to play it all the way through, but at the same time we wanted to see how bad it got later on, so we recruited another friend we were living with at the time and the three of us took it in turns to watch the other two play it. We made it bearable by means of constant mockery.
To add insult to injury, when we tried to trade it in it turned out that we'd only get 1p for it. One. Penny. Although in hindsight that's pretty funny.
Safe to say I'll politely ignore any future recommendations from that friend

Well, current generation I'd say Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The multiplayer is a lot of fun (with friends) but wow the campaign was awful.
Thinking back over previous titles... "Spider" on the Playstation never left a good impression, and "Rise and Fall" on PC looked alright but got repetitive for me very fast.

Worst game I own? Well I don't keep games if I think they're shitty, so I'll go with "Worst Game I've Bought" as a close-enough category.
I'd really have to say FFX-2. Not only did I buy it, play it, and return it 2 hours later claiming that for whatever reason it wouldn't work and that I'd just as soon get something else...but it was also the point where I officially washed my hands of the Final Fantasy franchise forever. No more FFBS for me, I'll stick with my classics made before the time Square and Enix merged and decided to sodomize one of the most well-respected RPG franchises in history.

I don't know, but what immediately came to mind is Hydrophobia. There's a difference between player fault and poor level design, and Hydrophobia crossed that line.
E.T for the Game Boy Advance. Got it as a gift many years ago, but it is still amazingly horrible. Some levels are bugged and are impossible to finish. The levels where all mazes and you had no map, what so ever and your health bar constantly decreases, even when there is no one else around you. You are also defenseless against anything, and all you do will drain your health bar, unless you get to play as the kid (forgot he´s name), because he can throw baseballs at enemies, but it only hits humans and the "ammo" is rare and you will only hit on every 4th or 5th ball you throw. May it forever burn.
Shaq Fu for SNES and a Virtual Boy console which is faulty (damn eBay seller didn't list that it was).
Yeah I think you do...Indecipherable said:_box_art.jpg/260px-Action_52_(NES)_box_art.jpg)
I think I win.

for me it has to be Maken Shao: Demon Sword, worst combat ever......dyansty warriors had better combat than this.....interseting concept, you body snatch different people and use their abilities but its pres o to do attack, after 2 hours of battle you gain press 0+ up to do a different attack. Love atlus but they should stay away from action games and stick to rpgs and puzzles
Probably The Whispered World.
I'd heard great things about it, so I went ahead and bought it on Steam. But the graphics were nowhere near as "gorgeous and painterly" as I'd heard, the art style and character designs were just kind of gross, the music was forgettable, the characters were obnoxious as fuck (especially the protagonist who had the most annoying voice I'd ever heard, to the point that every time he talked I had to skim the subtitles and then quickly press spacebar), every attempt at humor made me cringe ("pantaloons" is not inherently funny, stop expecting me to laugh just because you said it), and to top it all off, it had an "it was all a dream" ending with a glurgy sick child aspect tacked on to tug at the heartstrings or whatever.
As to the gameplay, there was one thing about it that I liked: the main character's pet slug could take different forms (normal, fat, on fire, etc.) and you could use him in all those forms to solve puzzles. But the rest of the gameplay just embodies all the worst parts of adventure games: tedious grocery list dialogue, and puzzles that consist of throwing everything in your inventory at a problem and, when that fails, trying to stick it all together and then throwing it at your problem.
Some of the solutions made sense, but in one case I had a turtle statue that I learned, through trial and error, I could stick a bunch of crap onto, including a pair of dentures. I had no idea what I was supposed to do with the resultant monstrosity. Turns out I was supposed to show it to someone so they'd get scared and hide and I could enter the door they had been standing in front of.
That annoying gameplay is the biggest reason I've never been able to get into pure adventure games, even the classics like The Longest Journey. For me to enjoy an adventure game, it has to be puzzle-adventure (the Myst series and Machinarium) or action-adventure (Ico and Aquaria), or even just exploration (Journey and Botanicula). Those are all among my favorite games. I love most subgenres of adventure, but adventure games themselves, when they rely on inventory-based puzzles and spending hours going down dialogue lists, really don't do it for me.

I agree. I got Sacred 2 because it had a funky special edition (Includes MAP! Game soundtrack (like you're not going to get sick of the same twenty second loops of music every time you go into a fight!) and the cheapest ass Seraphim figurine you could imagine!) and I'll reluctantly admit its in my top five of how much time I've poured into it (Up there with Dragon Age, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2)Bertylicious said:
And I don't actually mind it. I am reluctant to trade it in, because I always think I'll go back to it, even though it has an indecipherable leveling system which is broken (Good luck trying to beat higher difficulty levels if you've leveled up wrong), a weird sense of humour and is the biggest grindfest this side of the FF 13 treasure hunter trophy (playing Sacred 2 sometimes felt like ascending to a higher state of consciousness, just to tolerate the constant grinding) The problem isn't so much that its bad, just that its lame, and not very well implemented.
Still got a touch excited when a sequel was announced.
As for the worst game I currently own, I'm going to have to go with... Arcana Heart 3. I only bought it because it was five quid new, and it had a half naked anime chick on the cover (dont judge me).
Worst game I've ever owned?
[Prototype}. Hands down.
I kinda liked that game. I guess it's the idea of Sonic character shooting guns and riding a motorcycle to be ludicrously awesome.Hazmattuxedo2404 said:
