You know your game is terrible when...

[Girl With One Eye]

When you paid £40 for it, fell asleep playing it and then couldn't get your money back from the shop you got it from...

[sub]FFXIII I'm looking at YOU[/sub]

 

[TheLiham]

Whens its only advertisement is comparing it to another much better game.

*cough* Two Worlds

Or when its Fuzion Frenzy 2

I couldn't of an excuse for how bad it is

 

[IamSofaKingRaw]

You know your game is terrible when Reaver shoots the last boss for you

This again? When are going people going to understand that Fable 2 doesn't have a last boss, just a conclusion.

You know your game is terrible when Reaver shoots the conclusion for you.

LOL

You know the game is terrible if you can't die/lose.

 

[wehrp3nguin]

...When the Player Character in an FPS has a personality...
...When it takes more than one shotgun blast/ melee attack to kill in campaign...
...When you pause the game, make dinner, and eat it in the kitchen...

 

[IamSofaKingRaw]

You know your game is terribly awesome when one dude gets possessd by another dude by way of arm transplant. Then when you finally realize how utterly god damned ridiculous that is, you try to explain it all away...with nanomachines.

 

[TaboriHK]

When it freezes for the fourth time since I bought it, OBSIDIAN

 

[Bad Jim]

When every mission is either an escort mission, stealth, timed, underwater, on ice or a combination thereof.

Bad third person cameras. If you cannot see what you are doing then it's a fair bet that no-one on the dev team actually played it.

 

[GothmogII]

You guys know what to do


You know your game is terrible when unskippable can make a series of videos on it...

Umm...you do know that Unskippable primarily focuses on games with overlong, overwrought and often awful intro cutscenes and not necessarily on games that are actually bad. It just happens that many of the games that they've done with bad intros also happened to be bad games in their own right.

come on, that's not true. remember meta gear august? i'm still not sure whether THEY liked it or not, but you cant deny that MGS4 is at least above average.

 

[Iwata]

You know your game is terrible when you cannot find one single item of praise on its box, from any critic at all, anywhere.

Also applies to movies and books.

I'd like to add a rider to this.

You know your game/movie/book sucks when it's so flooded by insignificant praise by unknown reviewers as to render any artwork irrelevant. I remember when I worked at Blockbuster, any DVD that came with a laundry list of nominations from festivals that sound like they were made up by someone in a basement was bound to be terrible.

Also, you know your game is terrible if it's called Daikatana.

 

[ayailla]

I'd say, "When you can complete it in less than a day" but that would mean Portal would be in there... so screw that one.

You know your game is terrible when it's in the "£4 or under" section on Steam...

 

[badgersprite]

You know your game is terrible when you need a walkthrough and FAQ just to explain the story that's supposed to be going on.

 

[Ambient]

You know your game is terrible when you just grab a random person and keep running up the side of building and never bother getting further into the storyline of the game.

 

[spartan1077]

You know your game is terrible when you decide to do homework instead of play it.

Yes, that's right *censored to prevent Flamewars* I find you terribly boring.

You know your game is terrible when you just grab a random person and keep running up the side of building and never bother getting further into the storyline of the game.

prototype?

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

You know your game is terrible when half of it is first person, and the other half is third person.

Sorry Silent Hill 4, I'm looking at you.

 

[Continuity]

You know your game is terrible its released for a console then ported to the PC.

 

[Racecarlock]

When putting beige in the game will actually make it more colorful. When you have to look at a roller coaster video just to keep yourself entertained. When your friends in the game call you every 5 minutes to go bowling.

 

[Recron]

when your game is based of a ring tone mascot.

 

[arbiter592]

You know a game sucks when it has less playing it than Beijing Olympic Games 2008

 

[good_omen]

You know your game is terrible when the sales assistant laughs at you after you buy it.
