Bruce Lee: Quest of the Dragon. That goes as far as games I've actually played though. I will not (as a male) touch "The Guy Game" with a 10' pole.
But yeah, the controls sucked, the AI of the enemies was horrible (anyone REALLY wants finer detail go right ahead) and.... yeah. It sucked.
Any others?
-
Master of Orion III.
It's like playing Quicken.
I think they designed this complex, detailed model of intergalactic civilization, and then said, "wow, that's a lot of stuff to keep track of! We'd better put in some completely retarded auto management AI to control everything! And for good measure, we'd better make it so that it's impossible to turn it off!" As a result, there are thousands and thousands of decisions to make during every turn regarding every aspect of your empire. Each one of these decisions will be summarily ignored by the game, which will do whatever the fuck it wants. So I take that back, it's not like playing Quicken; it's like watching someone else play Quicken.
The first one is still pretty good, though.
-
To be fair, so is the second one.
I myself enjoyed MoO3, but hey that's just me.
-
There was a game I once played on SNES called Lester The Unlikely. I played it when I was like 10, and to this day, it is still the worst game I've ever played.
-
i dunno.. something like Tetris for PS2?!? Why?!?!
-
hey i got tetris for ps2 just mostly to try and get my mom to play video games when i visit her. but in my opinion i felt incredibly disapointed with the xmen: wolverines revenge game. alot of wasted potential. same with mafia.
oh man and the tenchu game return to darkness that was just the xbox port of wraith of heven. not a bad game but it had little improvements and oh, i already owned wraith of heaven
-
worst game ever??
well, here are a few bad ones:
superman 64
-- you fly through rings, punch a guy, and then FLY THROUGH MORE RINGS. terrible.
sub zero mythologies
-- WORST CONTROLS EVER.
-
Splinter Cell. Nah, not really, but it IS bad. Fuck Sam Fisher. Never before has a game's plot been so COMPLETELY demotivating.
-
Worst game ever... hmm... I'd have to say Army Men: Sarge's Heros. 3DO created a horrdily sluggish game with terrible controls on that one.
-
HALO 2
What IDIOT said " LETS REMOVE THE HEALTH BAR!"
-
I'm not even gonna comment on the guy above me because I'm sure someone who cares more will tell him what an idiot he is.
The worst game is Knights of the Old Republic, followed by KOTOR II.
-
eh, the health in halo and halo2 is far less important then your shield.
i'm not going to comment on the guy above me because i adore the KOTOR games.
starwars attack of the clones for gba is meh in the way that terminator vs robocob for SNES was.
-
The worst game is Knights of the Old Republic, followed by KOTOR II.
May I ask why?
-
BOTH Kotor games rock like crazy.
Worst game I've ever played would have to be Indiana Jones for Xbox.
-
KKnD (http://planet.kknd2.com/) was quite possibly the worst use of my money.
-
I'm gonna go with Superman 64 as well. I haven't seen worse.
-
Septerra Core for the PC.
Why the fuck? What the fuck? What was the point?
-
The worst game is Knights of the Old Republic, followed by KOTOR II.
May I ask why?
This is how KOTOR generally goes:
Sweet a star wars RPG, and its made by the Baldur's Gate guys...this oughta be good...
(HOURS OF USELESS AND INCREASINGLY MORE BORING DIALOGUE COUPLED WITH...)
Oh sweet, I want to attack that guy (PAUSE!) Oh shit, now I have to do the most boring shit ever...but now I'm ready to battle (UNPAUSE!) Sweet, okay, I'm attacking...ON NO WAIT, Fuck, thats not what I wanted him to do (PAUSE!) Okay...yeah...okay....maybe this is it...(UNPAUSE!) What the fuck are you doing Jedi man?!?! FUCK! Kill that dude! SHIT FUCK DAMN ASS FUCK!
(THROW X-BOX OUT WINDOW, no easy task mind you)
(BUY FFX, SMT:Nocturne, Ratchet and Clank or something that is actually quite playable and doesn't make your soul want to die)
-
you can changes the settings for the combat pausing under options. somewhere.
i liked the dialogue but i honestly thought that the last two final fantasy games killed the idea of good dialogue every being in a game.
that reminds me, tie for second worst game(s) ever goes to ffx and x-2. for the most part the most ear numbing voice acting ever, borring charecters, story, the attempt at a new system in X was just weak and they made the really awesome class/job system like playing dress up in the sims (also a game i don't like)
but these are just opinions of mine.
-
Septerra Core for the PC.
Why the fuck? What the fuck? What was the point?
To make money off of the Anime/Manga fanboys.
On that same note, Shogo Mobile Armor Division (by the same guys) was pretty craptastic too.
I don't know if I really have a game I disliked bad enough to give it that title. O'course I've never played Superman 64 though, which was touted by many as pretty horrible. Not too hard to make a crappy game on the Nintendo 64. XP
-
Come on, the N64 had a few good games. Zelda: Ocarina of Time? And let's not forget that goldenEye was pretty fucking amazing at the time. And still fun to play now. AND MarioKart!
-
Perfect Dark was the best game the N64 had to offer.
-
Heard of it, never played it. What genre was it?
-
Morrowind was an interesting concept.. unfortunately, you could ignore your real life and spend the rest of it inside the game, and you would never beat it. It's like they crammed the entire world into a neat little CD (or set of CDs)... and then made an expansion for it.
I don't personally understand the point of Sims Online. You don't get to kill each other right? So what's the goal here?
-
The great thing about Shogo: MAD was that the most dangerous thing in the game was not an enemy soldier or robot, it was a soda machine. If you stab a soda machine in that game it explodes with such ferocity that you are blown to bits and everyone else in the room will most likely die as well. I approve of unnecessarily hazardous vending machines.
-
Perfect Dark was the best game the N64 had to offer.
Tie with Conkers Bad Fur Day
-
Perfect Dark was a first person shooter that Rare made, learning what they could from their bestselling GoldenEye. There's a reason recent Bond games have been forgettable, they're made by Electronic Arts.
I actually never ended up playing Conker's. I might hit up Rhino's again later after the Christmas money hits.
-
N64 had some good games, it's just that there weren't really a whole lot of 'em. I guess the N64 didn't really have a lot of games, period. Nintendo makes the worst decisions about their consoles... first cartridges on the N64, now Shigeru Miyamoto doesn't like online games... stupid decisions, and they stick with them to their grave. Makes me wonder why Sonic Team chooses to release their Phantasy Star Online stuff on GameCube at all.
I never really got into Golden Eye... I wondered why it was such a success. I was working at a software store at the time, so I got hit by the hype straight-on. The fact that it was widely touted as one of the best games on the console made me laugh I guess. It was a solid title, but not much to it really. I think I'm pretty much alone on this one. o.oa
-
worst game i've ever played would be Descent to Undermountain, for the PC.
it's like, an RPG, built using the Descent engine, and using the absolute worst graphics/GUI i have ever seen in an RPG (and i have played a lot of RPGs).
i mean, seriously, i played Bard's Tale 2 & Legend of Faerghail on my Amiga something like 5 years before DtU was released, and they looked way better than this crap. i couldn't control it properly, it had no keyboard remapping, the visible game area in the GUI was miniscule. etc etc etc.
-
Worst Games:
I don't need to quote anyone in particular. I'm sure everyone agrees with me when I say Superman64 was bad. Rented it from Blockbuster (5-day rental), returned it less than three hours later.
Master of Orion 3 may have been a good game if Infogrames hadn't sacked the programmers halfway through production.
I think Survival Project International, a freeware online Korean-based international game, wasn't worth the 8 hr download. It was a top-down interface, camera always centered on your character, and has as much control functions as a NES controler. The characters were in the style of "anime plush dolls." It seems all you do is run around and try to kill the other players (who also have a tough time figuring out this crappy game).

exactly. rare imbues the chips and do-dads in a game with something magical while EA is like an ugly lamprey, it sucks and sucks and sucks the essesence from a game.
i'm going to be a bit of a soothsayer and that Marvel vs EA is going to suck, make babies cry and rain frogs onto civilization
-
Mortal Kombat Advance. my friend rented it and showed it to me. just... horrible.
other comments: KOTOR is freakin' amazing. Halo 2 was allright, but i haven't played all the way through yet. tetris is awesome on any system, and perfect dark was the first FPS that i didn't loathe with every fiber of my being
-
fear effect 2:retro helix, despite the lesbian love story... total garbage of a game.
more bad ones: i despise solitaire in general, and i really hated superman 64. luckily i played that one in gamestop and didn't bother buying it.
-
Leasure Suit Larry - Magna cum laude.
*shudder*
-
Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
Some games just cant go from PC to console, especially a RPG that requires as much mouse play as the Fallout series. The gameplay is fine, the controls on the PS2 are a bit clumsy for me, but that is probably cause I am used to the mouse-controlled Fallouts 1 and 2
-
Charlies Angels: Full Throttle. My brother rented it for reasons I have never understood. The worst graphics I have ever seen on the PS2, horrendous controls, and incredibly mindless gameplay. Either that or Battletanx
-
i also beat that matrix game in 30 minutes, enough time to take it back to the store and get something worth my money.
-
Prince of Persia 2. This is a terrible game because they make a giant conception pool of sexiness and then piss in it, spit in it, and then empty their bowels into it. The combat is annoying, hit detection is annoying, camera is annoying, dying is annoying(but fun when you rewind time to re-impale the prince on a spike pit for no reason besides teaching that bastard a lesson) because the "Game Over" screen take a year to execute before you can "Retry".
-
oh my god. Prince of Persia 2?! Knights of the Old Republic?! I will kill all of you.
-
I agree. Prince of Persia: Warrior Within is godawful.
Miserable hacks.
-
Jak and Dakster (PS2)
I absolutely hated this game. I bought it awhile back because it was so highly rated by everyone (friends, enemies, magazines, websites). 4/5 was the lowest score I had seen it given but I wouldn't give it a 1. I hated it more than anything I've ever played (including all Madden Football games).
Although, I tried Jak 3 and found that to be a good game.
-
I find most 3D platformers to be really generic. They all follow the Banjo-Kazooie format. Main character + wiseass sidekick go around collecting shit to do other shit and gain new abilities.
Jak 2 and 3 have a good, darker storyline, but that's the most they have going for them.
Sly Copper 1 and 2 are fantastic though.
-
i also beat that matrix game in 30 minutes, enough time to take it back to the store and get something worth my money.
I actually beat that game in the store at the display.
-
yeah, that game was fucking ricockulous.
good games for the n64:
Perfect dark+goldeneye
Legend of Zelda: Ocaraina of time (possibly the best of the zelda games.)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
Super Smash Bros.
StarFox 64
1080º Snowboarding
-
I didn't think Street Fighter: Alpha (GBA) was a good game. I remember the good ol days playing SF with my friends on a SEGA.
As for the whole Perfect Dark thing, I LOVED that game because you could make Sims and just play a multiplayer map by yourself and still have an awesome time!
-
i think some stupid car-racing game, but i can't decide which.
-
I second Sub Zero Mythologies as the worst game ever. I just wantd to freeze people and break them up, but it turns out that it takes 16 combos.
Second worst game: Cubivore: Hunt and eat things, get a new piece for your body. When you finish the stage, you get to start over.
-
Dullest game ever was probably Nascar on PS2 I think. Just driving around and around and around in a big cirlce. For 99 laps. Me and my friend just started going backwards, but even the crashes were dull.
But two lost PC classics which should have been promoted more were:
Grim Fandango (adventure game) - Original setting, great story, memorable characters, funny, engaging... simply excellent.
Planescape Torment: Best RPG EVER (D&D style at least) Most immersive and fascinating plot and setting I've ever experienced, and the characters rocked. HARD.
Not sure how easy they are to find now though...
-
I have an original copy of Grim Fandango right here on my desk.
Let's hear it for Lucasarts when they weren't shitting out millions of Pod-Racing clones...
-
^ I miss those adventure games.
The Longest Journey 2 will not be that kind of adventure game, apparently.
In fact, the only Monkey Island/Grim Fandango/Longest Journey-esque adventure game that I even know of being made is Another for the DS. Long live the DS!
-
I played Longest Journey, it was pretty good although the graphics did distract me a bit (mainly in the FMV scenes). Seen some pics of the sequel and it looks nice. I'm interested in how it turns out.
-
I agree that adventure games were amoungst the best out there. Sadly they were not "mainstream" enough (i.e. the average gamer wanted to shoot and kill things rather than think) so they're a dying genre. All of monkey island games were absolutely HILARIOUS (curse was the best, escape was alittel lacklustre).
But to get the thread back on topic, I would like to subdivide the question a litttle. The biggest LETDOWN of a game for me was probably Deus Ex 2. The original was a masterpiece which I have finished countless times, and always come back again. DE2 was a linear shooter, which chucked all the things that were great about the original in the trash.
But as for the WORST game i have ever played, i would have to agree with superman 64. Although a topic like this can't go without some mention of Daikatana and how much John Romero must die.
-
Aquaman for the xbox...I know, "what do you expect?". but man was this bad. The graphics were the only good part. It was short, boring "action", and no voice actting. Sweet honey roasted christ why do I still own this?
-
I found Fable to be fairly useless.
I mean, i've spent more time playing Jet Set Grind Radio Future or whatever its called than Fable......
-

Most definately- only one kind of Ammo system? What the fuck was wrong with them? They went from letting you switch to explosive rounds and poison darts to everything using the same kind of ammo- What.The.Fuck.
What you did in the game made no difference, except if you played one side too often, they'll become your enemy. They got rid of Attributes like improving pistol mastery and such, and made Hacking a fucking mod instead of an attribute. I remember hearing about loads of new sides and mods- sure, there was about 3 new mods, and two sides again- three if you count the one you can't join until the end.
The story was extremely weak- why did you go to the weapons factory again? Why did you go to Germany again? And the weapons- well, thanks to the universal ammo, the more powerful ones are mostly useless, since they eat up ammo so quickly.
Its just a terrible game.
No wonder the maker of Deus Ex and System Shock, and head of Ion Storm, left shortly after this game was released.
-
Yes, Deus Ex 2 was a tremendous disappointment of epic proportions. I loved the original and was praying that I lived to see a sequel... Shame it sucked. Well, to be fair on Deus Ex 2, it's not strictly speaking a 'bad' game, but the mere fact it's predecessor was Deus Ex, it was a little dire when compared to the genious of that game.
-
Worst game ever... hmm... I'd have to say Army Men: Sarge's Heros. 3DO created a horrdily sluggish game with terrible controls on that one.
I had a lot of fun playing that game on N64 actually. The gameplay was a bit bad i guess. but... it had CHARACTER, mann.
I'd say Tresspasser, the Jurassic Park game, is the worst game ever. It was an FPS where you were a large breasted woman, and your body is visable. So your boobs took up half the screen anytime you tried to look down a bit. Also you have to pick up things using this retarded hand system
either that or another PC game, 'Galapagos' where you sort of control this turtle thing but you don't really, you just try to change its AI by prodding it so it goes from one point in the level to the other. It takes about 3 hours to get this idiot across a bridge or something. Least fun game ever. At least trespasser had boobs.
Although a topic like this can't go without some mention of Daikatana and how much John Romero must die.
I think i am out of the loop with this daikatana business.. why does everyone have such a passionate hate for that game? I understand not liking a game if its not very good, but people really really hate this game and everyone who had anything to do with it and i cant understand why.
-
Imagine all the hype for Halo 2.
Now imagine the entire first level of Halo 2 being swatting hundreds of mosquitoes for no apparent reason for a good hour.
That's why Daikitana gets the hate.
-
(BUY FFX, SMT:Nocturne, Ratchet and Clank or something that is actually quite playable and doesn't make your soul want to die)
Ehehe ... hehe ... oh dear, FFX? Seriously? Don't know what SMT is, and Ratchet and Clank is just poo. But FFX over KotoR? Just no.
-
I'd have to say that Deadly Towers on the NES was the worst game ever...Great play up til you get thrown into a random endless maze for no reason at all.
so annoying *breaks down crying at the thought of playing that game again*
-
Interstate '82. It seemed like they made a list of all the most awesome parts of Interstate '76 just so they could cut them out of the gameplay, resulting in a pathetic boring game with slightly better graphics.
-
Shaqfu. I cannot describe how bad this game is to you, so, instead... here's a picture!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/nothingwitty/759.jpg)
EDIT : I beat the game with low punch (B).
-
shaq...the crappy superhero movie, the crappy genie movie, the crappy game. why shaq why?
worst game ever = unlimited saga. it has a beautiful opening and stuff but then they dont tell you how to play. you have no idea what is going on and it has ps1 graphics. all it was was something to release a ffx-2 trailer on. didnt care for ffxor x-2 for that matter. why square why?
-
Splinter Cell. Nah, not really, but it IS bad. Fuck Sam Fisher. Never before has a game's plot been so COMPLETELY demotivating.
Seriously. It's impossible for me to play this game, after being hooked on the Metal Gear series. Even Kojima's ridiculous storyline for Sons Of Liberty beats Splinter Cell's plot. And Fisher is no comparison to Snake.
-
Daikatana
-
^^^^ How can that picture possibly be associated with anything but AWESOME?
-
^^^^ How can that picture possibly be associated with anything but AWESOME?
Because it says "Electronic Arts" at the bottom.
/bitter
-
I saw Shaq Fu at Rhino's for a buck-fifty.
-
The worst game ever was ET for the atari.
I have played it and for having done so my friend has given me 50 dollars to recover. (not joking, my friend ROCKS!)
This may be a rumor but I heard that there were so many returns on that game that they had to landfill them all. If it is true, then future archelogists are going to dig them up and think that we used them as currency. Really crappy currency.
-
Oh, thats true alright.....

Daikatana
I don't personally see Daikatana as the worst game of all time. It was bad, but most of the hate was the letdown after all the hype that Romero boasted about and whatnot. Kinda like fable, in a way. Alot of people who listened to the hype were majorly letdown, especially after Molyneux (Spelling? I hate that guy's last name)declared that it would be "The greatest RPG of all time".
Anyways, my vote for the worst game of all time, at the moment, would be Devastation.
-
The difference between Daikitana and Fable is that Fable was decent if you took it away from the hype. Daikitana still kinda sucked.
I hate Peter Molyneux so much though. Bastard convinced me to buy Black and White and I've never forgiven him.
-
I loved Black and White. Only being Evil was too damn easy, compared to being good.
When i was good, i still followed the practise of being evil(your people reproduce en mass), which led to a single city with the population in the thousands.
In the Second map(the one with 3 gods, but one god is killed by the other), i managed to get everything in the map within my reach with a single city. It was MASSIVE- took like ten minutes to load up, and there had to be at least 50-100 homes. I even made myself a personal forest infront of my tower thingy of worship.....but the damn followers were too anxious to get the closest source of wood.....
After i killed the enemies towns(by simply tossing his followers into the ocean), i enacted a massive exodeus into the next map, which took me several hours to finally send every man, woman, child, tree, lumber, food, animal, interesting rock, fence, and literally anything i could throw in.
But, sadly, i couldn't keep up- too many people, too much work, not enough shelter. Most of them died, and i was turned evil because of it....(2000 people die of starvation, and apparently that makes me the bad guy...sheesh....)
-
The worst games ever? MMORPG's. Every single one of them. What's the point?
-
To kill rabbits so you can kill moles which just lead to killing even bigger rabbits.
-
My votes are for The Guy Game (Ps2) and Superman (N64).
Now... if you decided to crossbreed them... you would have the absolute worst game in existence... a monument of unplayability and terrible plot... where the man of steel must fly slowly and awkwardly through rings and beat up bad guys in slow motion in the vague hopes of "getting some" from almost-hot drunk chicks.
~U
....*shudder*
-
Oh, I thought of another one, which no one except me and my friend have played, and for a good reason.
I seem to recall back in the day, somewhere between '95 and '97, when everyone and their aunt thought it'd be a good idea to get into the whole "multimedia" business.
The Discovery Channel was no exception, and they put out a game named Savage, not to be confused with today's strange strategy-third person action hybrid.
See, the idea for Savage was... a lion simulator. That's right. You ran around as a pixelated lion in third person, maiming and mauling whatever got in your way, at times settling down for a peaceful drink.
The worst part is that I'm not even kidding.
-
Perfect Dark was a first person shooter that Rare made, learning what they could from their bestselling GoldenEye. There's a reason recent Bond games have been forgettable, they're made by Electronic Arts.
I actually never ended up playing Conker's. I might hit up Rhino's again later after the Christmas money hits.
That's an interesting statement actually and one that's very true. To this day, years on, not one person has truly completely forgotten Goldeneye on the N64. Sure, Perfect Dark was probably better, but the bottom line is that every single Bond game since has been good, not great, or complete pants. Subsequently, they've all been forgotten to dwell in the bargain bins of many a store, & although Goldeneye may indeed accompany them now, it is still regarded as one of the best FPS' ever, which is quite cool considering it was a film license game.
-
Worst game ever?
Postal II, hands down. I've never seen a more horrible and utterly repulsive thing in my whole life - and then I usualy spend my time at the same watering hole as apathy. *shudders*
-
Yeah, but Postal 2 was one of those things where it's like "Holy shit, this sucks so fucking much it's kinda amusing" sorta things. And of course, it knew that too. I mean, you beat Gary fucking coleman.
-
Well, to me that was true to some extent, but with the first game. It sucked balls but was still fun to play for ten minutes or so, just for a laugh. The second one is just the same thing over again, but in 3d and with even more sickening ways to off people. Plus they somehow manage to make the unreal engine look like utter shite.
I really can't find it even remotely humourous to whack a little dog in the head with a shovel and then proceed to pee on its corpse. I've tried, I really have.
-
Yeah, but Postal 2 was one of those things where it's like "Holy shit, this sucks so fucking much it's kinda amusing" sorta things. And of course, it knew that too. I mean, you beat Gary fucking coleman.
I liked Postal II purely on a tongue-in-cheek basis. It was far too basic to warrant boasting it used the Unreal Tournament engine (did it?). It was a fun little game I enjoyed mindlessly blasting my way through and was so politically incorrect that it made me laugh.
-
Yeah, but you like marrows, so you have an excuse.
-
That I've actually purchased and played (for 5 minutes)
KISS: Psycho Circus (Dreamcast)
Purchased for $2 - would have gladly taken $.05 for it after a few minutes.
Goldeneye was fantastic - I could gush, but my favorite bit was the fact that you could set off and an alarm and mow down a constant stream of badies for hours on end + multiplayer.
-
Oh God, yeah.. I had forgotten about Psycho Circus.. It's the awfulness materialized into a game.. stupidstupidstupid!!
