Worst game you've ever played

Post by hurstshifter »

Steel Harbinger. The early graphics of PS1 have seen much, MUCH better days.

A close second would be Superman 64. What an epic failure...

White Men Can't Jump - Atari Jaguar

As some of you may know, I'm actually one of the few fans of the Jaguar, but this game was absolutely wretched. As a collector, I own the game, but it's only been played to show other people the unimaginable level of sucktitude.

Surely that can't be the WORST game you've ever played? I'm no fan of WoW, but I've seen much much worse.

I try to stay away from the games that get bad reviews + I'm not a big console gamer. The only games worse then WoW would be some of the indie games I've played (which I don't really want to count as a game).

Wrath of the lich king is in no way a bad game, just a disapointment.

Big Rigs - Over the Road Racing. I saw some gameplay/reviews, and HAD to play the game. So I got it through t0r3nt5. It was the worst game ever. It's sad when the other truck CANNOT WIN. Literally, it STOPS before the finish line. That was the only game that made me think of tracking down the people who made the game, tying their kidneys together with their intestines, and beating their families while hanging them by their tongues. Besides E.T. But this game is worse than that and jekyll/hyde combined.

C'mon guys, ET is really fun!

Seriously!

I even like playing Back to the Future for NES, to an extent. ET is better than BTTF though. Only thing that makes it annoying is collision detection.


Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. What's the worst game I've played?...
Probably stuff done in RPG Maker.
Hydlide.

OOH. I bought Unlimited SaGa game for PS2 once, and it was essentially just a board game. It was pretty much shit. I do really like the GB SaGa games (Final Fantasy Legend I & II & III... )

And Ty, and Orphen are pretty bad too.

I almost said Orphen. Such a bad game.


BTTF was pretty kick ass.

I played so many console games as a child, I couldn't tell you all of the ones that were awful, I have a tendancy to block them out of my mind :lol:

One I do remember being incredibly disapointed over was Micro Machines V3 for the PS1 (and probably other formats)

people may disagree with me on this, I don't know, but when I played that game I was incredibly disappointed.

I went to the video rental shop about 4 times, because each time I got the disc for this game, it wouldn't work, eventually I managed to get ahold of one that did work, and what can I say? it was garbage, a bunch of hard to control cars on somewhat convincing tabletops, I was majorly disappointed, but I imagine that was more from the build up of suspense.

*browses PC game collection*

Oh and any sim city game after sim city 3000 (SC4 and Societies suck ass, they're dumbed down for a more mainstream audience, and it sickens me :lol: )

And many of the spin-off "tycoon" games suck aswell, but the suckiness of those games vary from developer to developer.

I think I can program pretty well, it's my compiler that needs convincing!

And now a joke to lighten to mood :D

I wander what programming language anakin skywalker used to program C3-PO's AI back on tatooine? my guess is Jawa :P

The worst game ever... that's an easy one.

The worst game I have ever played is My SAT Coach for the Nintendo DS.

After playing it for 30 minutes I sort of lost the will to live, *cringe*. Seriously, this game (if it qualifies as a game) is depressing.
