I got my N64 like half a year after my gamecube but where I got it had loads of pre-owned games. I got Goldeneye, Mario 64, Waverace, Excitebike and... I saw this fighting game and thought, that'll be cool multiplayer fodder. Oh god how wrong I was...



Hands down one of the worst games I've ever played. I only paid about 2 pounds for it but it still felt like I'd wasted my money.

[Endo Punk]

I bought Heavenly Sword expecting it to be GOW level fun but I have never been so disappointed in a title, at least this gen. This was the first time I felt the Sony seal of approval for first party games was compromised. Such janky animation, control and gameplay. GOW may get flack for being shallow but for me it's the perfect balance in the genre. You see there is NG which is perfection and then GOW which is balance allowing for great gameplay, set-pieces and adventure then Heavenly Sword on the opposite end which is how you don't make a game in the genre. Worst game purchased and or played this gen, I was thankfull that it was so short.

[viewtifulsub]

Indigo Prophecy.

If I ever cross paths with David Cage, he'll be sure to receive a punch in the face and return my wasted $2.50

[NinjaBoiX]

Easy Oh god. The bugs. The hit detection. The ultracheap deaths. The bad and broken gameplay. The bad jokes. Playing this on maximum hazard difficulty to get the platinum. "Observe the Grenade" trophy. Oh god. Oh god.

Why do it to yourself? Does a platinum trophy mean that much to you? It's the worst game you've ever bought, yet you want to play every last inch of it. Does not compute.

[goku1693]

Uh Spiderman for Gameboy couldnt get passed the damn second level.
Black Ops, not the campaign which was fun, but for the sorry broken multiplayer.
Dont really buy all that many games.

[De-mon]

:-/

[SxP]

Enslaved. Hated it from beginning to end. Playing this game was absolutely infuriating. Every design decision they made was terrible. Pure torture to play through.

[Joni]

Truly awful game.

[Dicer]

You people have no idea how to buy a bad game, just gonna leave this here.

I bought this turd, still love me some other Jag games though...

[Complex Shadow]

Black ops. My first COD game and last. Not trolling. Just really didn't feel like it was worth 60$. I mostly just feel ripped off.

[Omi]

Some absolutely 'terrible' nominations.

But anyway.

Genuinely one of the worst games I have played is Shellshock 2: Blood Trails. Nothing about that game is redeeming in the slightest. Terrible art, terrible graphics, awful gunplay. Just plain rotten.

Australian censors did the public here a favour by banning it.

Offtopic, but do you know that your nickname means "Granny" in German?

[Koralsky]

Duke Nukem Forever...

Mmm, although I use the term Oma. Not where my username originated from however. ;)

[Madrical]

Army of Two, or as it was known for the two days I owned it, Army of Poo.

Terrible.

[nephilimdj]

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee (gamecube)

Bought it at full price :/

[Jive Turkey]

The only one I can come up with is Doc Clock and the Toasted Sandwich of Time. A physics-based puzzle game with horrible puzzles and physics. As a general rule all you need to do to get to the end of any level (I could only stomach about three levels) is to slap a couple wheels on some longer object and call it a car. Need some altitude? add a propeller. Oh you also need a shit load of luck in hoping the game's physics don't screw you over. Fortunately there's a rewind mechanic that allows you to retry sections until you get it right. The game would be impossible without it. Add in a wisecracking backpack similar to Kazooie only less funny (I know I didn't think it was possible either!) and you have yourself a massive pile of shit.

I'm happy to say I bought it in one of Steam's 5 games for $5 bundles. This way I can think I bought four games for $1.25 and had this atrocity heaped on for the hell of it.

[Kikujiro]

Mighty Max (SNES)


I had to choose between this and Cool Spot. I knew Cool Spot was the better game, but this was newer and I was a little stupid child.

[tpax]

Quake 4

That game was so boring straight up from the first minute (at least the singleplayer).

[Hasemo]

Whizz that game is the worst

It's bad? I remember reading the review of it when I was a kid and wanting it very much. Didn't have a chance to play it.

[derwalde]

FF X and FF XIII

*runs*

[Gustav]

Has anybody here bought or played this?

[Wallach]

Trevor McFur in the Crescent Galaxy (Jaguar), which I bought with a used console for twenty dollars. Look into the maw of madness if you dare: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d5nto1NIz4

Runner-up is Pulse Racer (Xbox). Which is a game I worked on. Fuck.

[toastyToast]

Eternal Darkness Bad Art direction Monotonous enemy designs Boring story Pointless nightmare mechanics

[IvanI]

Alpha Protocol so far...but I'm willing to give it a try one more time ... one day.

[mxgt]

ugh.

[DrAg0nBoY]

Street Fighter 4

Thank god I sold it, but then I bought

Super Street Fighter 4

Which I also sold, thank god.

I know people like it, love it but I just can't. I tried it really, but it's just a bad game for me.

[Blue Ninja]

I thought to myself "shit, this game looks awesome", but by level 5 it was so boring and frustrating that I just gave up. I don't normally resell games, but this one went out the door rather fast.

[Skirn]

You people have no idea how to buy a bad game, just gonna leave this here. I bought this turd, still love me some other Jag games though... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1FGK0FW2SQ

Haha, wow... My condolences. Looks absolutely horrendous and that tune in the first stage may be the worst videogame music I've ever heard! :lol

Godfather II is the game I regret buying the most. It was extremely shallow and repetitive. Good thing I didn't buy it a full price.

[Sethos]

Haha, wow... My condolences. Looks absolutely horrendous and that tune in the first stage may be the worst videogame music I've ever heard! :lol

*cough*

[AllenShrz]

This fucker!





I'm sure there are many, specially in the N64 / Play Station One era but I cant remember right now.

[idwl]

Red steel 2 , The setting got boring really quick

[Mully]

Off the top of my head:

Tom Clancy's Endwar

I remember being very excited about the controllerless RTS. The voice control did work, but the game was extremely bland.

[Ushojax]

Eternal Darkness Bad Art direction Monotonous enemy designs Boring story Pointless nightmare mechanics

Anyway, the worst game I ever bought was Turok:Evolution. I took it back the same day and got my money back.

[GABDEG]

This garbage right here man. Worst game ever. Made me physically sick, never played more than a couple of minutes.

[Conrad Link]

I was playing Eat Lead just the other day, I got it for $10NZ heh.

Wasn't that bad, had fun with it..... but I wasn't playing on very hard mode or w/e its called lol.

[TheLucifer]

On PC: The Thing. Never really got into it: I just can't play it. Dunno why. And I had to choose to buy this one or Mafia. smh
On PS3: Wet. Buggy and boring as hell, plus it had an awful Italian dubbing. Turning it on English didn't change anything.
On PS2: Off Road Wide Open. I bought it when I was 12 iirc, after two races I put it back on the shelf and never touched it again.

[Animation-Imp]

I wanted Zelda, but got Ghostbusters 2 for the NES instead...
Couldn't wait till I got home...
Five minutes later "Fuck this garbage"

HOPKINS FBI, seriously, what was adolescent me thinking.
It's crap wrapped in shit dressed up as a click and point adventure.

[PuppetMaster]

R6 Vegas 2. Bought it because Garnett said it was good on the old 1UP Yours. What a steaming turd.

[LaB_NL]

*shivers*

[RadioHeadAche]

Zone of the Enders: The Fist of Mars

Boring gameplay mixed with mediocre anime characters and mostly uninteresting story. At least the boxart looked cool.

[BosSin]

Either bubsy 3d or sonic heroes

[Combichristoffersen]

Quake 4 That game was so boring straight up from the first minute (at least the singleplayer).

Quake IV is actually the only Quake game besides the original that I like.

Also, my vote goes for Knights Contract. Such a complete turd of a game.

Deadly Premonition Edit:

I got that as a present as a kid. IT was.. not very good. But somehow I managed to have fun with it.

PS2: Piglett's Big Adventure (or something), Final Fantasy XII PS3: Cross Edge

I shall proceed to slap you silly with a trout.

Serious Sam 2 comes to my mind. Not even nearly as good as First- and even Second-, Next Encounter. Cro Teams attempt at humor in this game also happens to be one of the most embarrassing things I've seen in a game, which made me feel really uncomfortable playing it sometimes.

I actually liked SS2 more than TFE exactly due to the corny cheeseball humour and cartoony art style.

[clockpunk]

L.A. Noire, no doubt about it. So glad to trade that in for Duke Nukem: Forever.

[Razgriz-Specter]

Liked the original much more, had alot of issues, twist killed the last bit of my interest.

also it killed my original PS3

[Night_Trekker]

I generally don't buy bad games, but I'll probably give it to The Thing since its central gameplay mechanic is a lie. And really, outside of the IP and the false promise of that mechanic, it's a shitty third person shooter.

And what a clusterfuck of a thread already. Eternal Darkness? GTA4? Rogue Galaxy? What a bunch of sheltered gamers/trolls.

Fester's Quest for the NES. Granted, it was part of a used lot of NES stuff, but it's just so aggressively, unbearably awful.

Badass soundtrack, though!

It would probably have to be XIII. I really wanted to like it and played pretty much through the whole game, but near the end I just couldn't put up with it's shitty controls and weird gameplay behaviors anymore.

Ditto, great fucking soundtrack that unfortunately has never been released or effectively ripped due to its dynamic nature.

In fact, XIII had fantastic sound design all around. That's about the best I can say for it.

Zack And Wiki. GAF hype got me.

Get the hell out.

[Gez]

Bram Stokers Dracula for Mega Drive or FF13, at least I wasn't pressing auto attack the whole time in Dracula I guess.

[pmj]

I'm sure I've bought a number of real stinkers in the past, but the only game that comes to mind right now is Eternal Sonata.

[spats]

Mindjack.

Otherwise I'd say FFXIII but I borrowed it from a friend.

[Trokil]

What an incredible Trollfest.

Most of you have never bought a real bad game, if FF XII, Far Cry 2, LA Noir or things like that is the worst you can think of.

I bought some real crap during my gaming cycle. Ocean did some real bad shit and some of them I even bought.

But I think the worst game I have is this:



Ok, it was 500 Yen new, but still, what an incredible waste. The only good thing were the Sega points I got from it. It is terrible in every aspect.
