Worst game(s) you've ever completed

[Chaosian]

There's no way to really complete it, but I've put 382 hours into Garry's Mod. The game is just flat out broken, and new patches seem to just introduce more and more bugs that are never fixed. The online game modes are neat, but the communities always suck, the huge amount of free player-made content is cool, but having to wade through all the bad duplicates and pseudo-porn riggings is grueling, and while it's awesome to make your own ragdoll scenes, or obstacle courses and the like by building around maps and adding NPCs into them, Garry's Mod 13 completely screwed over saving (which even before had memory leak issues when you had large saves) - so yeah, no idea why I spent so much time in it for, really, a 6.5/10.

Definitely Far Cry 2 for me. To my great horror, I thought I was done, only to discover another map to the South.

One person tried to call me out on my dislike for that game, claiming I wouldn't know if it was good because I never finished it. No, I did finish it unfortunately. And to anyone asking why I finished it if I hated it, I just didn't want to feel ripped off. Also, I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt, even until the very end.

I didn't find the protagonist appealing at all, so every scene that was sexual(every fucking one of them, including the gameplay) made me cringe and feel disgusted.

Well, I think the point of her sexuality is supposed to be either ironic or just satirical. I mean, ya shit tons of people will still find it hot but its supposed to be pretty over the top.

Kind of got that, but it made me feel sick nontheless. Would've been better if they didn't throw it in our faces constantly.

Hmm... Aside from some crappy licensed games way back when, I would have to say Mass Effect. Really don't know why I beat it, as there was nearly nothing in the game I liked until the last couple hours or so (besides the music, that was consistently good throughout).

 

[KefkaCultist]

Well, I don't usually torture myself with a bad game enough to beat it completely, except for Final Fantasy XIII. I'm a big RPG/JRPG player and I love the Final Fantasy series. Then Squeenix decided to produce that long-winded interactive cutscene with horrible, obnoxious characters and rip my still-beating heart from my chest.

I played through that entire piece of shit because people said "it gets better at Gran Pulse". It goes from narrow hallway to empty ballroom. /sacastic-yay
Figure, well I've gone this far, I may as well see if the final boss is anything worthy of remembering. I was hoping for a Kefka or Sephiroth or at least something cool. What did I get? I giant, polygon dildo-like thing that is easily defeated by equipping insta-death prevention rings on party members...

After the final boss I was pissed, but I still went a step further. Final Fantasy games are known for having some extra end game content (i.e. superbosses & such), so I went off to see what extra things there were. Hunt missions... Just hunt missions... I quit then and there. Fuck that game and I cannot see how anyone defends it.

Mindjack. I am so glad I didn't pay for this game, but got it free. I would have screamed for hours if I'd actually spent money on a game that for some reason decided that enemies were almost immune to bullets. If any game beyond Serious Sam types make enemies bullet sponges, screw that. I never made it out of the first 10 minutes, since it took that long to kill a few bad guys. I never even got the chance to use the game's "gimmick".

 

[Ringo_Plumen]

That would be Skyrim(on launch for PC), I think this is because it was at a time where I cared about achievements, and all the steam achievements seemed pretty manageable to get, until I finally discovered you had to have chosen specific endings to the deadric quest to get the items, that kinda pissed me off.

Most of the time in the game were spent on skype with my friends who were also playing it, talking about how broken/bad/repetative and boring the game actually was, yet we kept playing.

Dragon Age 2

The combat was horrible, repetitive, and boring. The world it self was bland and empty. The story itself blew chunks. I had to force myself to complete the fucking game, and when i was done I used the disc as a coaster for awhile till I finally just snapped it and threw it away.

It felt like a shittier mass effect.

 

[mechalynx]

Galerions: Ash. A mix of meh and bleh, very boring, very ugly. No idea why I stuck with it to the disappointing end.

Soldier of Fortune 2. I loved tghe first one, which is what made me play the second one to the end. I liked the visuals, but the story was at best mediocre. It crashed at least once on every level and the AI was retarded. Also it had horrible loading times on my PC, which was adequately specced.

But the prime award goes to Mass Effect 3. I felt that the controls and gameplay took a massive nose dive after ME2, they did away with as many RPG elements as possible and the game depressed me in a way it shouldn't have. I mean, I was expecting losing one of my favourite heroes, only not for such stupid reasons. Plus this is the first time I felt that BioWare were misogynistic, for all their equal rights chest pounding. And I'm normally almost as bad as your average sexist pig.

 

[Cranky]

I try not to remember any but...
when I was a kid I played many movie adaptation games, 9 out of 10 were horrible but I finished it to the letter, not knowing it sucked ass.

 

[N3squ1ck]

Duke Nukem Forever. I played through it hoping it would get better later on. It didn't as you are all well aware.

I wanted this game to be good so bad

 

[Anathrax]

DrakenGard. Horrible combat, horrible story, horrible characters, horrible endings. Horrible "how am I supposed to figure this out" weapon unlocks, and after all 60+ weapon unlocks... what do I get?

I.Hear.A.Sound. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B09qyRzXU_4]

THAT'S RIGHT KIDS! A TERRIBLE RHYTHM GAME END BOSS!
And the ending is a big screw you moment as well. Damn you Cavia.
And that was ending E. This friggen PoS has 5 damned endings. All of them suck butt.

 

[nvzboy]

My brother recommended I play splinter cell convitions. I never felt anything for third person shooting and the story was immemorable enough that I can't remember what it was all about as I'm writing this. I was expecting more but it was just bland, emotionless...

 

[zefiris]

Final Fantasy VII.

I expected it to get better. I really did.
It never did.

 

[The Angry Wolf]

Glover on N64. I never could finish it when I was younger, recently went back to it, completed it, and now I want all the time I wasted during my childhood back.

 

[Poetic Nova]

Alone In The Dark for PS3 and 360, atrocious controls, vehicle handling like everything's on ice, nonsencical story. Do i need to go on?

The fact that i still own it isn't helping either.

Edit: Some words that always reminds me of this game: the blink button.

 

[V1rax]

I'm going to get shit on for this but: Red Dead Redemption.

IMO it's a terrible game that just annoyed me every step of the way, but once I start a game I need to finish it.

 

[SilkySkyKitten]

Duke Nukem Forever

Believe it or not, I genuinely loved the first half of the game. It was silly, over the top, unserious nonsense that I would expect from a Duke Nukem game. Plus, Las Vegas made for a fun and interesting series of locals you'd end up visiting, and that one section where you were shrunken down to the size of an action figure and had to traverse a burger joint was awesome.

And then the second half happened.

Everything I liked about the first half was stripped away. Destroyed. Ripped out. The fun, colorful environments were replaced by grey corridors that were a bore to play through. The big fun boss fights were turned into one on one matches with hulking monstrosities that could destroy you in seconds while stuck in tiny-ass corridors with barely any freedom of movement whatsoever. It went from an enjoyable game with kinda iffy gameplay to a mediocre Halo-clone in horribly bland environments. And to top it all off, the silly unseriousness that I loved about the first half was totally tossed aside and it all suddenly started acting like it was actually taking itself seriously.

That second half was such a pile of trash that it ruined the entire game for me. Why I played through to the end is still a mystery to this day.
