Ok, so im surprised that no one has made one of these topics, but the premise is pretty clear. Just post some of the worst video games you've ever played, and why. No one liners, just explain a little in detail why you dont like it.

Me? There are several, but ill post only one for now, since I just started playing it a little while ago again. Lennus, aka Paladin's Quest is an awful, AWFUL peice of crap that should not have been spawned. The graphics are horrendous and clash on the SNES and the plot is so retarted.
You open up the main villain for no fucking reason then are forced to bring him back. WTF. Plus, its probably the hardest SNES RPG besides Dual Orb 2. The only redeeming thing was the great soundtrack.

So, post your worst games!

*insert final fantasy 7/halo/kingdom hearts/popular games that people call awful and horrible even though there are tons of shit out there that are much much worse*
 
My memory is shit, so I'll just dig up the most recent crap game I played: Hoshigami Remix, for the DS. Can you say "SUCKS BIG BAAAAAAALLS!"? hey, ridiculously huge breated women, and annoying difficulty always makes for a good game, right? Oh, and endless grinding. Can't have a good srpg without FUCKING LEVEL GRINDING. Goddamn that was a shit heap. That's the first game that springs to mind, anyway. I'm sure there are much bigger pieces of shit out there, that I've played, but I'm too lazy to try, and remember.
 
I dunno, I've played some pretty shitty games in my day.

HIVE for PSX
Bubsy 3D for PSX
Rise of the Robots for PSX
Action 52 for NES
Last Action Hero on SNES
Clayfighter.

There are tons more, but these leave the biggest scars.
 
Easy.

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.

You wanna know how bad it is?

It's this bad: (GameSpot review)

For the record:
The AI doesn't work at all.
Reverse infinitely accelerates you.
You can drive over anything, even infinitely upward slopes.
You can go outside the boundaries.
Finishing a race sometimes crashes the game.
One of the stages don't even load.

probably mot of the zelda games apart from twighlight princess ocarina of time and wind waker

Did you know that there's a difference between a game you don't like, and a bad game? Apparently not, going by this post. :\
 
none of the games mentioned so far are even close to as bad as big rigs.

it isn't even complete man. they literally released it at like, 15% completion.
 
that matrix game for the ps2.

you couldn't play it.

it's not that it was hard.

it's that, when you tried to play it ...

... it would crash.

.... Every time.

how did that pass playtesting ...?

By the way: Fuck you to people who try to act "cool" and say any Squeenix title and/or any Miyamoto title is the worst game ever. Because even if you don't like it, it's still much, much better than that fuckin' Matrix game.
 
Agreed.

basically, if you think anything made by Square Enix is the worst videogame you're an idiot because while they aren't PERFECT by any means, they at least aren't 5% done pieces of shit that don't even let you do the thing you're supposed to do (race) because the AI doesn't even work and if you win the game crashes.
 
Even though STALKER - Shadow of Chernobyl was a good game graphics wise... the AI were fucking terrible. I'm not saying this was my worst game experience, but c'mon. People rave about it, and I feel like having a big speel but I think... nope. Not even worth it.

Funnily enough, I feel the same about PS2 and XBOX...
 
I remember a game for the GBA called... I think it was called Shining Soul.

My God, that game was so sloooooowww.

I took it back to the store and got Chu Chu Rocket instead.

Never looked back.
 
The Fifth Element for the PSX - Horrible everything with some scenes from the movie splattered about to make it seem better.

I can't remember the name of it, but some game for the Atari where you save people from burning buildings with a helicopter, but if you start to do real well a plane going at the speed of light would zip across the screen and blow you up.

I think I'd have to go with Shadowrun for the SNES. That game is just terrible in any since of the word. The graphics are complete shit, you wake up a dead guy that was burnt to a crisp, and have to walk around aimlessly and find out where to go one your own, even the controls for th game were shit.

shadowrun = shit :mad:
 
Shadowrun, now thats a classic...
Loved that game for the Bladerunner(butwithmagic!)feel it had.
Yeah graphics where a bit ugly but the isometric view was refreshing and the art concept made it unique for its time on the Snes, Jester and Drake... best bosses ever.... EVER
