Worst game you've ever played?

[Chimplord1997]

Wonderful end of the world
It was a katamari damacy clone but using flipped assets from the games your grandma plays on her phone, instead of a ball you're a "puppet" aka an invisible model that objects attach to, and the soundtrack is one REALLY annoying 30 second track that plays on a loop from the menu through to the levels, and the worst part is valve made you buy this game for like ten dollars if you wanted to get portal 2 several weeks early, I remember sending Robin walker (who I met irl and he was a really nice guy) a death threat over it on a burner email lol

 

[Chimplord1997]

Yeah heres the song holy fuck what a crock of shit fucking game *takes sip from comically oversized beer bottle*

 

[Larynx]

I don't think I've ever played a game I would consider terrible, because if I wasn't enjoying myself I would simply turn off the game and play something I actually enjoy and forget about it. There certainly have been games I've certainly found disappointing or lack luster, but it's of no use to linger on it.

I looked up this game because you made it sound interesting in a car crash sort of way and I was amazed by how garbage it looks. it looks like a shitty flash game with royalty free everything (the walking sound is literally the same one that's used in minecraft) that doesn't even try to hide its plagiarism, but no apparently you can still buy it on steam for $10. I guess people have been dumping crap onto steam for forever huh.

i wouldnt mind it being a ripoff of katamari damacy if it actually tried to be a faithful spiritual successor, the katamari series is dead so tbh someone SHOULD take the mantle and start making something that captures its essence and gameplay, but this was like something that should be a pepsi branded web game on pepsi.com circa 2003

Call of Juarez: The Cartel is the only game I ever took back to the store for being shit.

Is that the one where they forgot to make it so donkeys can't climb ladders

Pretty sure it's not, because that would be a good game.

SOCOM 4 was a generic third person shooter that pretty much stripped out all of what made the ps2 games so good. I used to really like those games as a wee fella and I played it thinking it were gonna be good. It’s just like every other fuckin guy shoots guy game with no soul now, even the psp versions of those games were better than that

 

[Illuminati 2.0]

Watchdogs 2 I played for about an hour before uninstalling. I liked the first game due to the story but the second game is just hipster garbage with no interesting plot or features.

SJW written all over it. Legion was great, but got boring after awhile, didn't bother playing though the last mission.

 

[Sleepy]

dark souls 2 and 3

too repetitive and copied too many ideas from the last few gamess

Harmony of Dissonance, I hate it so much that I WILL get 200% map completion on it AGAIN for the TWELFTH time

My issue with the game is that there's 3 different endings and you need to equip two specific items before facing the last boss to get the "BEST" one.

Playing as NES Simon Belmont in Boss Rush mode is pretty fun though.

the music is so good though, successor of fate is such a beautiful melancholic piece.

I will have to drudge up the willpower to actually play it sometime


I remember playing a demo of Curse of darkness in 2005 and liking it alot but never getting it

I got this for like one euro long ago, it's a spiritual predecessor to Unity games.

Also these two rpgs are almost as bad, they're just buggy and boring, but not broken like Gods and Generals or Big Rigs.

Ratchet Dealocked wasnt that great and didnt follow the same gameplay as the first 3 games

 

[Illuminati 2.0]

You mean watch dogs 2? They fucked the story and made it without any drama (which the first game had) and the controls are beyond awful when you cant custom or change them




TLOU2 had the same issue although the controls could be changed when the gameplay was terrible

Never played DMC, which is the best one

3 I heard was a big improvement from the second game though

Yes and no, 2 was different but not exactly bad. They changed how healing worked and focused on group fights a lot but it was okay for the most part.

All I know is blightown was a nightmare on the first game

It had frame rate issues but otherwise it was pretty fun

none of the locations in ds1 were too difficult in retrospect

anything gimmicky with motion controls (thinking Xbox 360 Kinect), or those early iPhone/iPod touch games that required the gyroscope to control direction. An exception being those puzzle/balance games which worked ok, but racing and flying games that used those controls were always awful.

It is something that never should've been tried, the PSP got 3d controls for mobile gaming right with its joypad.

I had a Kinect and mine worked well mechanically but it didn’t have many games worth picking up and nothing for the hardcore gamers. I’ll beat your ass at Kinect Sports bowling though I was able to bowl a 300 with my eyes closed.

The actual device wasn't that bad it just had no games worth playing.

They tried to copy Nintendo but forgot the wii still had a controller and you could play normal games on it.

The kinect was a neat device that was underutilized.
Sony's Eye Toy on the other hand was a much less sophisticated device with a lot less technomancy behind it, but the developers who worked on games for it got around the technical limitations by designing actual interesting and fun games that provided a good experience despite weaker hardware.
