Topic: The worst games

[BullockDS]

I didn't think that FF7 was bad, but it didn't "wow" me either like it did for so many others. However, it's hard for even a good number of its fans to deny that presentation-wise, the game has not aged that well.

At any rate, my worst games:
-Paper Mario Sticker Star: Godawfully boring battle system; no new characters aside from Kersti, no unique locales; linear as hell; all the result of Mario's papa Miyamoto almost literally driving the New Super Mario Brothers steamroller all over the development team. M&L4 better not suffer a similar fate...
-CD-i Zeldas: Horrid gameplay, awful voice-acting and graphics, and the fact that there are THREE of these fuckers that pollute the otherwise excellent Zelda series earn this series of abominations the title of "The Unholy Triforce".
-Sonic '06: The broken gameplay, ridiculous story, and outdated graphics result in a rushed betrayal masquerading as a "celebration" of Sonic's 15th anniversary.

I've played both Action 52s and Cheetahmen II, but I hesitate to count those since they weren't licensed by Nintendo nor Sega.

I think that you maybe forgot to mention Hotel Mario, also thanks for refreshing my memories: Bible Adventures.

OH GOD

OH GOD

OH NO

I just remembered what might have been the first video game I ever played.

I believe I was 6 or 7.  It was some unknown, probably Chinese game console.

I can't believe I found this game now.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you THEXDER

Baby Boomer (NES).

Anyone know anything about The War Z? Apparently it's a pretty shitty knockoff of DayZ with an even shittier customer "service", and an official forum that will ban you without a second thought if you dare say anything bad about the game.

I'll just add to the fire, it was pretty bad too

[Cursed Joe]

After watching that Thexder video, I kind of want to play it. Actually, I think I have a looong time ago.

Atari: Star Voyager. I'm sure it's not the worst ever, but it's the worst one I own.
NES: It has to be Ghostbusters. That game pissed me off sooo bad when I was a kid.
Gameboy: TMNT. It's just so lame.
Genesis: Shaq Fu, or at least that's all I can think of right now. It certainly seems like I've played worse on the Genesis though, just can't remember right now...
SNES: Captain America and the Avengers. It's a brawler and it's booooring... Also, unreasonably difficult. I HATE this game.
PSX: Spec Ops. Sony had the gonads to release this on PSN as a classic download. Seriously??? This is quite possibly the worst game I've ever played.
N64: Superman 64. I actually gave this game away to a game shop when they didn't buy it off me.

Post 64, we got pretty good at avoiding crap games sooo... That's all I've got.

Well, there's Big Rigs Over the Road Racing, but then again that was so bad it's good.

Silver Surfer (NES)

Ugh I hated Silver Surfer... One hit and you are DEAD with only 2 lives and no continues, it basically has you on your feet attacking enemies that are almost impossible to dodge! I remember those times when I would start cursing at the screen and saying that I wasted 5 hours of my life on this game.


Custer's revenge (ATARI)

 oh my god.... DON'T EVEN RESEARCH WHAT THAT GAME IS!. it will ruin your sanity


Sunday Funda (NES)

okay that game is boring honestly and was a complete ripoff, it also showed a woman's clothes being gradually taken off by level (Seriously?) It was a way to get player's perverted mind to keep playing

[VladCT]

Psh, Custer's Revenge wasn't exactly sanity-rending, but it was wrong on quite a few levels. Then again, the Atari porno games just plain suck.

Maybe for others it wasn't sanity-rending but it was for me, to this day I ask myself why I played it knowing it's a porno game

Preparing for thumbs down in 3... 2... 1...

Hm, well I've played a lot of bad games in my time (as have we all I'm sure) but I can't pretend it's a hard decision to pick the worst for me once you discount games that are merely broken in some technical way.

I never thought I would loathe a game as much as I do Final Fantasy VII. I forced myself to play all 50 hours of it hoping every minute that it would get better but it never did. Horrible writing and characters meet graphics and sound which have aged terribly. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the story and characters were obviously on auto-pilot for this game (whiny, emo anime cliche auto-pilot) because the creators were counting on the "wow" factor for the graphics, which worked at the time but makes for a miserable experience today. The best thing I can think to say about it is the boring, average combat system and terrible pseudo-3D environment navigation were technically functional. And uhhmm... it didn't set my Playstation on fire?

Had some pretty good fun with the co-op on this one back in the day, though we were using cheats. And I think one of the "cheats" we had to look up on the information super highway was how the hell to get out of the first room lol.

Funny how I have 1-6,8,9 13, and not 7 never had the chance to play it, but I will say that 9 is in a very favorable place from what I have played. It's like an old school FF in 3d and I cannot complain about that  Maybe my third fav right behind the fourth and the first(remake is much better than the nes, I cannot fathom how hard this version is)

Edit: I do not have three I want to play the famicom version. IIRC there is a ds version.

[Cursed Joe]

Yeah the vaaast majority of the original FF's just leveling up. For hours and hours. But, call me crazy but I kind of like that. Sometimes.

Same as dragon warrior odd huh, well not really if I think about it. Why is it that nes rpgs require so much grinding?
