Worst Game You've Ever Played?
- Thread starter PlatinumRenegade
- Start date
The kickstarter campaign was created by Al Lowe the creator of Leisure Suit Larry and has nothing to do with those two more recent abominations. He wants to make a game more like the ones that he did in the late 80's and early 90's where while the eventual goal was to get laid or otherwise 'get the girl', the plot isn't made up of a bunch of grinding the same shitty mini-games over and over again until you get a crappy half baked cutscene. There's still a chance for a good Leisure Suit Larry game to be made if people that remember it the way it used to be give it a chance.PreviouslyPwned said:
OT: The worst game I've ever played has got to be Giants: Citizen Kabuto. It has a horrible comprehensible plot, unbalanced multiplayer, and shitty controls. I used to have a friend who held it up as the shining example of gaming goodness, he actually got pissed at me and wouldn't talk to me for about a month because I refused play it with him.
Hm, I'm surprised by how many people here genuinely hate games that I thought most people tended to enjoy. Oh well, mine by FAR was the original Kane and Lynch. I don't buy games without looking up reviews a long time before hand because I really don't have money to waste on games I'm unsure about,but this game was a gift when I was given my xbox 360. Seriously, who thought it would be a good idea to have a game centered around two characters you hate and no matter what the ending was a "bad" ending? That game can go to hell.
You also have to factor in that reviews aren't always what they're cracked up to be. You should play a game because you enjoy it, not because of a review although they are good for finding exciting games to play.Tyler Trahan said:
As a child I played many many movie tie in games, they were all equally terrible and I didn't know any better. I just kept on buying them, sadly I can't remember any specific titles. I think I had the Monster's Inc. game on the Gameboy Color, it was pretty terrible if memory serves.
Mass Effect 3 is a good game. Ending aside, I enjoyed my two playthroughs of it so far.Phlakes said:
I am honestly trying to think of a game that has not had some sort of redeeming value to it.
I guess within the last few years, probably the original Assassin's Creed. Enjoyed the story, the game play, and the gorgeous settings.. but for such an expansive game, it was simply too repetitive. It was all I could do to climb my towers (so many towers) and finish the side quests (very little variaton) to make my assassination attempts. Never did finish it, although I had a blast in AC 2.

The easiest of turns (in North America)
I still need to get the Dynasty Warriors 7 Extremes, but my ps3 has been making some scary noises lately...xWestie said:

I was just thinking that too! I could never beat it though.Razoack said:
I'm having a hard time thinking of something worse that Far Cry 2. Terrible story, repetitive missions, woefull ammo capacity (and general weapon system), the entire thing was littered with invisible walls in the supposed sandbox and even the good points like the healing animations and fire physics were marred by respectivly: being disturbed and having to start over by a gnat sneezing at you fifty meters away and the fre stopping burning, every time, in a perfect circle with a 15 meter radius from the starting point. Oh and the driving controls were shit, but do I even need to say that?
It did look nice though.

oh good grief... where to begin
first: What is a 'bad' game? Compared to what?
Bad because it could have been so much more: Spore - the alpha screenings and whatnot (like the one with Robin Williams) showed that it could have been so much more, but ultimately the game didn't care at all if you're creature had one or seven eyes. Also crap end-game
Bad because it was a jumbled mess of styles: Duke Nukem Forever - do I really have to explain this?
Bad because it had little to nothing to do with what was advertised: A tossup between C&C 4 and Dead island. Sure, Dead Island had zombies, but it had little in the emotional depth that the trailer hinted of. C&C 4 had some fun ideas, but those ideas had little to nothing to do with the C&C franchise.
Bad because shit ending: Mass Effect three
but which is worst? who knows. C&C 4 was pretty much an all-round disappointment, both in story and in gameplay. I guess that's the worst one then

for me it was Too Human...i played 10 minutes of it, i dont normally make descisions about games so quickly but it was THAT bad, the part that stings, bought it for 50 euro, traded it in the NEXT day, got 5 euro back.
EDIT: also Alone in the dark...the Wii version...dont know what it was like on other consoles but on the wii it was horrific, the worst driving controls and just generaly a very bad game. Shame too because i was looking forward to it.

Duke Nukem Forever..Shitty graphics that you had to wait EVEN LONGER then the initial loading screen. The loading screens that took way too long. The complete immature comments by Duke. The driving parts were just god awful. The women in the game made me facepalm a few too many times. The inventory is so stupid compared to the original Duke Nukem. The guns THEMSELVES are really useless. The ego meter is nothing more then a regenerating health bar. The ego boosts were flip flop between funny and stupid. Boss battles that almost always required the rocket launcher. The stupid turret gun parts.
