[Secret world leader (shhh)]

You know your game is terrible when faux news champions it as an artistic masterpiece.

you know your game is terrible when even the save system is shitty *looks at dead rising 2*...

...U C WAT I DID THAR?

 

[zhemis]

when its marketing strategy it based on boobs.

huh? That's the opposite of terrible.

I actually have nothing to add to the OT.

 

[Ultra Man30]

You know your game is terrible when it is worse than Superman 64. (I'm looking at you Paperboy 64.)

 

[KP Shadow]

You know your game is bad when it's based on The Simpsons, and it is neither the original Arcade game, a GTA3 knock-off, or a parody of gaming tropes.

 

[ayylamao]

when you would rather want to play modern warfare 2.

 

[kebab4you]

Haven't looked threw all 5 pages yet but here I go;
You know your game is terrible when not even the pirates want to waste time on cracking it.

 

[pyrosaw]

You know your game is terrible when it came from Japan, and it isn't Silent Hill... Seriously everything from Kingdom Hearts to Final Fantasy is a big heap of useless over-estrogenized garbage

Katamari Damacy? maybe the soundtrack could get annoying, but it's still good. What about Mother 3? That is not like most JRPG's.

 

[JayDeth]

You know your game is terrible when Fable is in the title.

 

[Araethuiel]

You know your game is terrible when not only do the fans of the series want it forgotten, but the developers do as well, to the point of a character in the sequel saying that it "...was a huge mistake" and that he would not speak of it again.

And along those lines...
SPESS MEHREENS

 

[busterkeatonrules]

You know your game is terrible when you need a strategy guide to figure out the interface.

(Yup, that's Dragon Age: Origins!)

You know your game is terrible when Uwe Boll thinks it would make a good movie.
Oh snap!

...And the movie sells better than the game.
Oh Snap Crackle and Pop

 

[Faladorian]

You know your game is terrible when it came from Japan, and it isn't Silent Hill... Seriously everything from Kingdom Hearts to Final Fantasy is a big heap of useless over-estrogenized garbage

Katamari Damacy? maybe the soundtrack could get annoying, but it's still good. What about Mother 3? That is not like most JRPG's.

Oh yeah haha the Katamari games were one hell of an acid trip... XD

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

You know your game sucks when it moves air into it in a very quick manner.
[sub]Eh that could have worked out better.[/sub]

OT: You know your game sucks when you have to pay people to play it. And they still don't feel like doing so.

 

[SixWingedAsura]

You know your game sucks when the only good comment people can come up with (and out of pity) is that the menu looks...not eye-gougingly terrible.

 

[Ninemanec]

when M. Night Shamylan (sp?) thinks that the plot is too confusing and stupid

 

[Tdc2182]

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

So much agreed.

Ruined what little potential the final boss could have had.

 

[justnotcricket]

You know your game is terrible when the player uses it to put themselves to sleep.

 

[archvile93]

WHen its main selling point is a gimmick, and a useless one at that.
