Worst game(s) ever played.

Well, I'm not going to argue with you there, PSO was very good, but it got pretty stale around about the 250 hour mark for me.

After 250 hours, it's justified it's price for the most part.

As for Megaflare, I wouldn't waste my money on an expansion for an already terrible game. Especially anything by Sonic Team.
 
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(GBA Version)-How can anyone play that?It's extremely buggy, boring and stupid.

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead's Men Chest(Also the GBA Version)-Extremely easy and short.Not worth the money.

It might be clich?, but E.T is on the list.
I mean, what list of "Worst Games ever" can be complete without this game?

E.T., historically, IS one of the worst games ever. Doesn't matter if it is "cliche" to me, that is one to go on the list... AND Big Rigs. x_x
 
Why have I not posted here yet?

Series-wise (As in series' I actually liked. And no, it's not Silent Hill 4), Tales of Symphonia. God, what wasn't there to dislike about it? The story was abysmal at best, with a twist that made me go "So....what?", and characters that made me hate the entire cast (Lloyd, Collete, Kratos, and Yggdrasil/Mithos fit this category). The gameplay was sub-standard at best (Why the hell is there a 3D field if you can't even navigate it without multiple targets?), and the techs linked really oddly. I mean, Base>Arcane>Base? With Lloyd, you could exploit his techs so that the enemy wouldn't stop flinching without the help of any other party members. This, in my mind is horrid. Also, Raine had a piss-poor moveset (Legendia is also at fault for this. Will/Shirley/Norma=wut?). At least in Eternia, I liked controlling Farah due to her attack skills, and Tear had some great techs that made her Single Arena matches fun to do.


Games of all time-wise, Ghosts & Goblins. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but the difficulty was way over the top.
 
I think it was, compared to it's pre des somethin but yea, it was a major let down, bought and returned within a few hours. But perhaps what makes it look so bad, is the game before it being awesome
 
Grandia Xtreme: As much as I love the Grandia series... this one failed in every catagory. First off, all of the characters are introduced pratically from the start. Then you are quickly sent on mission after mission in huge dungeons in which there WERE NO SAVE POINTS.

Which brings me to my biggest gripe; one freakin' save point in the entire game. Oh BOY is there NOTHING like going through a dungeon that takes you 1-2 hours only to find yourself completely slaughtered by the boss since well... you really dont kno wwhat you're instore for unless you read a walkthrough or have already fought the boss before. When i heard 'xtreme' i thought they meant in a good way. But apparently they meant extreemly bad!!

The story was also bad. The gameplay itself was almost exactly like that of Grandia II, which was good; but the rest of the game made it not even matter...

Tales of Legendia: Of the main series (outside of Tales of the Tempest... since well, I only base the series on the console ones) it was quite possibly the worst. The only redeeming feature was the music; other than that, the storyline was crap, the characters were unrelatable and just over all cliched. Worst yet, they ruined the battle system! My favorite part of a tales game is the battle system. I dont care about anything else if the battle system is good enough. And in this one, i felt they ruined everything good about it. Techs were useless, the AI was far more retarted than normal (i mean, hell, i actually had to imput, every five seconds, the command to heal!! Other tales games i like NEVER have to tell someone to heal! Only time i go into the menu is to use an item!) the the gameplay was just too dang stiff! Blarg.

Those are the two that hit me at the moment... for my extreem hatred in both their directions...
 
Anyone familiar with a psone game called Blaze and Blade? Got suckered in by the manga presentation boxart. Damn. :p

The game was ugly, the loading times kills and a non existant astoryline. The only innovative thing it had at the time was the multiplayer function and even that felt tacked on.
 
Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness. That made me want to fart blood. And who in their right mind likes doing that???

Seriously, I even liked all the other Tomb Raiders, despite the clunky controls. But AoD was like taking a hot pitchfork and slamming it into your face at such an angle that it pierces both your eyes AND your nose in one shot so all you can do is scream.

I am ever so happy that Crystal Dynamics took over that beast. It's been 100% better since. Everything they touch turns to gold in my eyes, anyway :'D. (Soul Reaver, anyone?)
 
Crystal Dynamics are great. I didn't like tomb raider untill Crystal Dynamics took care of it. (I wished they would continue the Legacy of Kain Series, but well...)

Worst game I ever played? I have to go with "Sims 2". I hate this game with a passion.
 
Nope. It might be a nice improvement to the first one, but that wasn't good either imo.
Sorry, but I don't see the point in life simulations. Why playing a life simulation if you can live your own life? >_<

Humans love sticking their noses in other people's lives...
 
The Harvest Moon series. I love the story, characters, etc. but what other series has ever had the company that owns it mispell their own name in the opening or have the characters totally swap languages mid-conversation due to slackjob translations? I could always get into the many glitches, but why bother? Natsume really has to start working a tighter strategy.
 
@ Corona: I totally know what you're talking about, but remember those were mistranslations, the original Japanese game didn't lapse randomly into German or misspell stupid things. I just think they need to find a new translation team.

I actually saw a copy of Harvest Moon: FOMT around that a fan translated instead and they did a kickass job of it ... I had the ROM somewhere and now I can't find it :'(

But on topic, here's another: Lemonade Tycoon. WTF is this game?? I like the tycoon games a lot usually but this was an abomination of my time. Thank goodness it was free.
