Sonic 06.
Twice as confusing as Inception while being as stupid as 10,000 BC and as badly written as the Power Rangers.

Line of the year all years. I laughed so hard when he said that after plowing through some badass locust bad guys in the game, following that by plowing through some locust bad guys in the cutscene before being ambushed by RANDOM MELODRAMA.
Serious Sam. Monsters attack, you kill monsters, some stupidity, more monsters, random levels in an order which makes no sense.
Still the most fun mindless shooter since Doom and Doom II.

Bad Company 2 - On top of it being incredibly dull and unengaging, but I was incredibly disappointed when the huge mechanical roar turned out to be....well, that. I mean, really? I know we're going for gritty realism here, but I would have been so stoked if it had turned out to be some enormous, tsunami-causing cyborg dinosaur thing. I mean, I know MW2's story was ridiculous, but at least it was entertaining.
heyyyy I liked the story but I've definitely agree with you about the subway tunnels.....*urgh*WorldCritic said:
OT: I can't think of to many games (that I've played anyway) that have had bad stories but from what I've seen and heard Modern Warefare 2's was utterly ridiculous
I actually haven't found a game with a bad enough story that it would make me hate it, call me easily impressed, but I prefer gameplay mechanics over story...But for the sake of the forum the game I least liked was Manhunt, that story and gameplay was just so bad I didn't even bother finishing the first level.
Fable, hands down.
Not necessarily for out-right badness, but just the fact that it reads like a checklist for every overused fantasy RPG cliche there is.
Young child suffers family-slaughtering trauma? Check.
Child possesses inherited super-human awesomeness? Check.
The Big Bad is a creepy dude in a mask? Check.
Blah Blah Blah, hoh hee hoh? Check.
It's not even bad enough to get a cheap guffaw out of. The tidal wave of mediocrity just washes in from the first moment and you end up treading bland water whilst also trying to get the stupid fucking target system to target the asshole I want to throw lightning at, no not the merchant I'm escorting, the Fucking Band - oh screw it.
And yet, I still play the damned thing just for the chance to murder hundreds upon hundreds of my fellow man.

Ha! I agree.duchaked said:
In the terms of modern warfare 2, It doesn't have much of a real good story. instead it just expects you to shot guys, move on, shot some more guys, hold out for a bit, move on again then get killed.
And duchacked, i literally laughed out loud when you reminded me of that.
Custer's Revenge. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custer%27s_Revenge]
4 pages, and nobody has mentioned it yet? Seriously escapists, is our memory so shallow?
Halo isn't that bad, CoD isn't that bad, cliched crap isn't that bad, JRPG games aren't convoluted enough to be that bad.
I mean, the only game I can think of that might be on that level is Rapelay.

Agreed, but rape games are far worse than games about pornography. I didn't mention Leisure Suit Larry or some such, because games about sex, have their story driven around... well sex. That's not necessarily a "bad" thing.BobDobolina said:
Games based on rape, though are different, and Custer's Revenge is also horribly racist. I mean, you wouldn't say that any sex game is as bad a game as that would you? I'm trying to dredge the worst of the worst.
As for the timeline of Homefront (a game in which I've no particular interest), it doesn't sound that idiotic to me. I mean, sure, it's not all that believable, but so's most of human history anyway.
You want a similar but utterly baffling scenario? Try the Red Alert series. Awesome games (first two anyway), but the story's ludicrous.
In the first, Stalin grows super-powerful and invades Europe, because Albert Einstein travelled back in time and removed Hitler.
And then in the second, psychic devices shut down US defenses, and a fleet of red zeppelins and DOLPHINS invade.
Jolly good fun, but it wouldn't make a very good novel. No wait, hang on...
