Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones on the Gameboy Advance.

Excluding all other flaws... the one that stands out the most to me is the fact that this game USES A PASSWORD SAVE FEATURE!

I thought we dumped those with the NES!

Orphen: Scion of Sorcery for the PS2. It was mostly cut-scene and what game-play there was bordered on unplayable. It was pretty, though.

It's a tie between Mario Is Missing and Marios Time Machine.

I'm giving the edge to Time Machine. It still bothers mento this day. I see it for sale at the Flea Market and Im considering buying it, just to slay the demon.

Yes. It bothers me that much.

This might be a bit controversial, but... The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina... HA, gotcha! What I really mean is Majora's Mask. I know it has a lot of fans, but it was the first game I remember really finding bad, and I know I'm not the only one who hated it.

My grandparents have an Atari 2600.

Pac-Man and ET were a pain. At least there was Berzerk to make things right.

Why? I'm not judging you, just wondering why you didn't like it.

For me, it would be the Sonic game from 2006. It's just so bad...

Sonic '06 is technically the first,
but the first game to really slap me in the face with its badness was Without Warning.

I feel like I should clarify, but I don't feel like putting in the effort right now.

The first video game that I played that I felt I really regretted purchasing, that I felt was truly bad was Gex: Enter the Gecko for the original Gameboy.

I had played the original for the N64, and I enjoyed it enough (I was young and naive). I bought the it used for the Gameboy several years later thinking that it might be fun, after all I enjoyed the console version, how bad could it be? I was mistaken, it was terrible.

I was put off buying used games for nearly ten years until I forced myself to buy the original Paper Mario for nostalgia's sake. Paper Mario on the other hand was an excellent purchase, made slightly redundant by the fact it would come out for the Wii's Virtual Console not but a few years later... where I would in fact, buy it again.

Every LJN game on the NES. I guess the guy who started that company is now roasting on hot coals in hell.

There probably were ones beforehand, but the first that i remember is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone... pretty bad... but actually I think it was better than Prisoner of Azkaban (which tried to mimic Bully, to an extent, and spectacularly failed, because Bully was a good game, and this was fucking awful) and Goblet of Fire (which was a downgrade- they seemed to remove everything from the game and simplify it to escape from the previous shitfest, rather than correct what was wrong and try to be a great game like Bully was)...
I'm sure that there were some before and between, but now I'm over 21 my memory's beginning to go...

The very first Street Fighter game.

I don't know how many of you will remember it but it was basically you controlling Ryu and beating 4 bosses over and over again ..... forever.

It had no end.

I eventually gave up.

The Avatar game... OK, so I actually don't know if it was a legitimately bad game (although it IS a movie game), but the camera p*ssed me off so much that I didn't get very far at all. I just thought "screw this".

Final Fantasy, all of them. Uninspiring, dull, two dimensional characters and terrible asthetics.

Hadn't touched one since 7, and was reassured that 13 would be better. It wasn't.

In chronological order:

Daikatana

Demonstone

Chaser

Dragonshard

/thread, y/y?


Though for Chaser and Demonstone there's the addendum that they are not in itself "bad" because all the mechanics work, they just bored the living daylights out of me.
