Worst Video Game Port?

[BonsaiK]

No no no, none of these were remotely as bad as:

Enduro Racer for the Commodore 64.

Even the Atari Pac-Man comes (an admittedly close) second.

Don't believe me? Check these videos:

Saints Row 2 - PC.
ALL Current gen Quake console ports.
F.E.A.R. 2 - PC (I encountered 3 instances where I had to glitch my way past an area. Once, I spent a full week of trying to find a solution.

Halo CE on the PC. Sweet Jesus, what have they DONE?!

As for the worst port, Mario 64 DS.

The only version of the game I'd played. And it sucked so hard. I don't see how the games so popular, unless the DS port was just a piece of shit. Which may be the reason that I hated it.

I must say, it greatly suffered due to the lack of analogue control. If it had been updated and released for say, WiiWare, with GC/Classic Controller compatibility, it could have worked quite well.

That would explain my control issues...

It's a shame, when the original defined 3D gaming as we know it today, and is one of the best games ever made.

Don't worry. I generally don't like Mario games. But Banjo Kazooie is great!

Banjo-Tooie >>> Mario 64 IMO

Haven't played Tooie. Waiting for the XBL Arcade release in a few weeks. Until then, Nuts & Bolts reigns supreme as the greatest Banjo game. Than againm Nuts & Bolts isn't a platformer, so it really shouldn't be compared to the old games. Ever.

That would explain my control issues...

Yeah, you'd think it would make it more precise, but...

Nah.

It also likely didn't help that I used the D-Pad controls instead of the optional Touch Screen controls.

Actually it's out in two days. I have 1200 points all lined up to get it.

And yes N&B is better than the other two games but they should not be compared. It's like Fallout 3 and first two. It's not the same game but it's still Fallout.

I have 200 points all lined up to get one sixth of it!

Are you kidding me? PSX Doom is awesome!

My bad, I meant the Saturn version ;-) Quake and Duke Nukem 3D (and Exhumed / Powerslave) were awesome on the Saturn. Just goes to show it's not all about the console.

 

[johnman]

GTA 4, nothing excuses the state that mess was released in.

 

[IsoNeko]

Pacman, when it was ported to the Atari.

Worst. Port. Ever.

Man! Can't believe someone actually mentioned that one before I could. But yes, this.

Damn, two people managed to say it before me.
