I find that games based on television shows and movies tend to be very mediocre at best.Mysterious Druid said:
Test Drive: Unlimited 2.
After playing Forza 4 and NFS: Hot Pursuit boy did I regret that one...

Alien 3 for the Snes is probably the worst game I've ever played to completion. I hope you like backtracking through vents as you do variants on the same inane mission ten times because THIS game certainly does. It was one of those games that confused inconvenience with challenge. Christ I don't know how I managed to finish that one.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance for the GBA earns a dishonorable mention but its problems had more to do with it being a Game Boy Advance game that was trying to ape a PS2 era game.

I've played E.T for the sole reason that it WAS bad, so I won't really count that.
But yeah it was fucking bad.
Worst game I've ever played though...hmm...
The only one that really comes to mind right now is Oblivion. Just couldn't play it. Hated the combat, hated the controls, and the story just didn't grab my attention quickly enough to deal with it. I can appreciate why people love it so much...but I just couldn't stick with it. Seriously, first person sword combat just...doesn't...work.
AH I tell you what, Halo Wars was pretty ngh in my opinion, too. It was alright for a little while but it lacked any real depth. It's cool though, I got it on offer for 70p and traded it in for £3. Say whaaa xD.
But yeah, to say these games were bad wouldn't be fair. But they are the games I remember disliking the most. There are probably others but those two come to mind(Y).
edit: Ugh I tried so hard to like Oblivion
. But also, yeah Far Cry 2 was...not great either. Again, tried hard to stick by it but...agh.
ALSO, YEAHYEAH CRYSIS 2. The stealth seemed pointless and it was horrifically repetitive, I thought. Just found myself getting bored. *thinks some more*.
But yeah it was fucking bad.

If TD:U2 was anything like the first one, yeah... It's like a driving game from a decade ago in the way it handles and the game play options.karcentric said:
I wasn't particularly taken by Forza 4 either. Loved Forza 3, I waited for F4 to come down it price though. They did a COD job on it. Forza 3 + DLC and a graphics spit shine.
probably not the worst game ever but definitely the biggest disappointing pile of poop was Fable 3. The 1st fable was such a great game aswell :S
ET is infamous for how bad it is.BlueberryMUNCH said:I've played E.T for the sole reason that it WAS bad, so I won't really count that.

I think a bad game was Rogue Warrior. It was so funny how they got Mickey Rourke to swear in basically every sentence. Also the credits are amazing!
Blacksite: Area 51. I expected much more out of it than it delivered, which is the really disappointing thing.
Didja try playing it on Xbox? 'Cause that would be like declaring eggs a work of pure evil after eating one from a forgotten corner of a weeks-abandoned poultry farm.Shavon513 said:
Jus' saying. Risen is one of my all-time favorites.
My bad game? Eternity's Child. Amateur animation ruined a great-looking concept, and over-hard, clunky gameplay rendered it an utter waste of five bucks.
Oh my god YES ! THAT FUCKING GAME ! I tried to remember a worst game but yes The Fucking Family Guy game...wow this was so bad...Mysterious Druid said:
Too Human, I don't even have to think about it. I see not a single redeeming factor to it, with the crowning moment being that you have to wait about 32 BLOODY SECONDS to revive despite no loading!!!
(side note: I agree, waaaaay too many mediocre games being claimed as worst ever, with a lot of them seem to be negative reaction towards the hype that the game received.)
(extra side note: Awww i actually liked advent rising then again i never heard a word about it before it had come out, and even then i hadnt seen any reviews, so i guess i just have really weird tastes lol)

Skyrim? Seriously? Anyone with that for an answer must own no more than 3 games.
OT:
Action 52, 52 of the worst games I've ever experienced in my life.

CoD, Battlefield & any other online-multiplayer dependant repeditive pro-american gun wanks.
There, I said it.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
The very second I started that game up, I could already tell it was an engine mess. It was sloppy, unintelligent, and utterly-boring. And it's supposed to be an action game!
Heck, I had more fun with the Main Menu than the actual game, itself!
Honorable mentions would include Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker and Bionicle Heroes. I have yet to touch ET: The Extra Terrestrial, Atari Pac-Man, Big Rigs: Off-the-Road Racing, Superman 64, and Chuck Rock. I hear they're awful.

Let me pull out my list here of popular, well-selling games:
Elder Scrolls, all of them. Wait, Arena and Daggerfall weren't all that popular. Cross those two off. Start at Morrowind where the franchise started to become successful. Oh, excuse me, where they started to "sell out."
Mass Effect, all of them. The third one had a pretty negative reaction from the fanbase, that one almost didn't make the list.
People like the Diablo series, you say? Throw that one on there, too.
World of Warcraft has how many subscribers? Pah, no question. That one is on the list.
I feel so damn hip right now, I can't even begin to explain it.
OT: In all seriousness, the worst game I've played is probably Everquest 2. I had a burning love for the original EQ, then the sequel comes out, and it left such a bad taste in my mouth... Awful design, horrid combat (only worsened by the terribly designed "heroic opportunities"), and just all round lazy, I thought. The player/guild housing was the silver lining, I'll give it that.
