Worst Games Ever!

[geoff-uk]

What's a terrible game you've seen or played. I've never played it, but as far as I've seen so far, I'd say Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is the worst game I've seen. I mean "YOU'RE WINNER!". That's really good english isn't it!

[macwemyss]

Superman 64 - search it on google or youtube or something and you'll see why I think it's the worst game ever, although the ET game was god awful as well...

Played Superman 64, rented it...My brothers and I gave up, we couldn't beat the rings part!...that was a long time ago.

007 Nightfire, not a bad game at all...probably one of my favorite Gamecube games, has some bad glitches...times where I have actually fell through the freaking floor...the floor!

[macwemyss]

On Superman 64 there is a bit that just cannot be done. Lex Luther asks if you can get through his maze, and there is no maze! :no:

[geoff-uk]

Yes, I remember playing Superman 64 way back. It was really confusing and the multiplayer mode didn't make sense to me.
Oh, and I very much think that E.T was responsible for the Video Game Crash and destroying the life of the Atari 2600. Big Rigs was so bad it was funny. I mean you could go anywhere and reverse really fast! On the Steller Stone Website (The developers of Big Rigs and other low-quality games.) it says that they try to deliver the best in gaming technologies. What a joke! If you really want a laugh from a bad game, check this game out called "Hong Kong 97":

Really now, Assassin's Creed? Never played it. Heard it got good reviews, but I respect your opinion. :D

Oh yeah and Hong Kong 97 is so bad its gained a cult following in East Asia and is refered to as a kuso-ge (Japanese for "S**tty Game"). Lol.

Ah, but that is Lex's evil genious!
Supes being too much of a Boyscout can't step back after having agreed to solve Lex's maze, even if there is no maze to solve!:ninja:

Some more terrible games are Data Design's crappy Wii titles like " "Ninjabread Man" or "Action Girlz Racing". DDI are evil and they should be banned by Nintendo before they murder the life of the Wii with their low-quality shovelware games. Who agrees?

[asa.oleary123]

I hated Metal Gear Solid 4. The cutscenes were waaaaaaay too long. If I wanted a fricking movie I would have gone to blockbuster. It's about 80% cutscene, 20 % Gameplay. Bah. No Thank you.

No offence asa, but you seem to hate a few games that have positive reviews. No offence though, because I disliked Ape Escape 2.

[Orky]

Assassin's Creed got old really fast, but it was still a load of fun while it lasted. As for the MGS titles, I know what you mean about the length of the cutscenes, but you gotta admit the game has by far the most in-depth lore of any game series out there. Really was a pleasure watching some of them.

Here's a shocker...I've never played a game I absolutely hated. Even the really bad ones like Superman 64 or Survival Arts (Where the main boss is Richard Simmons!) had the laugh factor with them, so they were still enjoyable to play for me.

OMG! I just watched a video of Survival Arts. Not only is it ugly looking, its a complete rip-off of Mortal Kombat!

Indeed it is! And it completely lacks any kind of tactics and is impossibly hard unless you spam a single move over and over.

And yet it's oodles of comedic joy, so that's why I don't hate it. Kind of like how you can like a B-movie even though it's complete crap, ya' know?

Yeah that's always been one of the problems with MGS, play a few minutes lean back to get bored by a quarter hour or longer FMV, play a little more, kill a boss, watch FMV a.s.o.
It's a fricking interactive movie with neither much to interact with nor a interesting enough story to make up for it.
At least it was with the former titles, some claim they finally gave you more playing freedom in MGS 4.

Just out of curiosity, what is it that you don't find particularly interesting about the MGS storyline? Most people I know say quite the opposite, so it'd be interesting to hear a negative opinion on it for a change :).

Have you taken a look at Hong Kong 97? I've wrote about it on the first page of this thread.

I just looked at that. They didn't even make a proper effort to correctly translate the language. Instead of "All you base are belong to us" it should be "All of your base belongs to us".

Quite frankly it's the presentation that put me off, you have to listen to seemingly endless monologues to get at the core of a storyline that would have been interesting, albeit not half as original as the fans claim, if they hadn't murdered it by presenting it in a IMO very unbalanced mix of long FMV's interspersed with a short action game.

Mind you, I would probably say pretty much the same about FF if I had played any of its titles. This kind of presentation seems to be a Asian fave, but personally I want to either play a game or watch a movie.

[geoff-uk]

Shall we talk about games that have been critically panned? Like Shaq-Fu? Or Atari Pac-man?

[Staree_Films]

I believed (My personal opinion) that the whole Halo Series was a pile of shit.

What?!? How dare you! Okay I'm just kidding. But how could you hate Halo? Do you like any FPSs? I'm talking about games that were panned by crtics.

[Kit06]

I hear 'the Movies' game was terrible. :whistling:

[Staree_Films]

I do enjoy the Call Of Duty series only because it's realistic and most things actually happened. Except for Nazi Zombies...

Or did it?

[geoff-uk]

Okay we don't have to talk about games that have been panned, as I forgot I said that we should talk about games that people hate.

I revived this thread!

[Daninsky]

I guess hate is a strong term but GTA4 comes to mind.

Burnout: Paradise City, too. I mean the game wasn't probably that bad but I spend more time searching for the damn starting point to a race than I ever spend in a race.

Oh, and the Resident Evil: Outbreak (was that the title?) games.
Worst controls ever!

HERESY

-------------------------

Frontlines: Fuel of War was a very big pile of meh. I rented it and only played it for a day before forgetting about it. The multiplayer was sort of entertaining (Like COD4 with vehicles, a 32 player cap limit, and bigger maps) and the weapons were surprisingly realistic in their recoil and such, but the entire game just had a big "meh" factor to it.

Yeah I heard Resident Evil Outbreak was a HUGE disapointment due to lack of promised online play. :(
