I think it has to be SSX and Darksiders 2 in a tie for me. Tremendously disappointing. There's worse games technically, but I don't play bad games as a rule.
This is also true. But if you've played two games all year one of them is going to be the worst you have played all year but that isn't really useful information.
I ended up really liking RE6. It was rushed, had a lot of bad design decisions, and varied wildly in quality from one moment to the next. However, the core combat mechanics were fantastic, it's an underrated game that makes a truly awful first impression. I also liked Syndicate, I'm insane apparently.
Oh god, Derrick hates everything.
Just joking man, this is one thread you can bitch away in!
Some people don't play every single game that comes out. Its not like you can tell someone what they did and didn't play and how awesome they should've rated it.
I can't speak for Guild Wars, but Max Payne 3 and D3 had major flaws that would easily turn a lot of people off immediately. Again, if you only play a few games a year (and this really points to the Diablo crowd... who were expecting a big time sink and many made the jump from MMOs to take it on and fill that gap), then saying its the worst experience you've had with a game from this year isn't a stretch at all.
Useful information like opinions. Its like me asking what your least favorite food is. "You don't like tacos? Liar."
And again, I really hate Far Cry 3. The repetitiveness of it all...
To be fair, I'm yet to play AC3, and therefore can't comment on it. But goddamn, I find it hard to believe anything could be quite as bad as RE6.I usually limit my worst of lists to just 5 because I actually don't like dwelling on the negative parts of the year too much but this year was so bad I was able to get a full top (bottom?) 10. But since this thread is just 1 game I can put one of the worst games I've ever played down.
You are entirely missing the point of the thread. Sure worst thing ive played this year is probably great comparitively to a game like Imagine Poniez, but im smart enough to not buy things like that so they dont factor into my decision. By your logic even things like Syndicate arent valid because there is sure to be a worse game released this year. Its just that nobody here played it.Ok, I see your point.
Yet, if I play an average-good game and find flaws in it I could think not to mention it as "The best game I've played in recent times". Yet, at the same time I'd think twice before adding it in a "worst game" list.
In this topic I've read the titles of Max Payne 2, Guild Wars 2, Diablo 3...

Holy moly that game is atrocious. It's just so fucking bad, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Please Derrick, do your blood pressure a favour, and leave it on the shelf! Being a stickler for polish as you are, it'll drive you up the wall, I can guarantee it!Well I'll be fair and say that I'm opposite of you. I haven't played RE6 and probably won't until the PC version gets a steep sale. It does look horrible though.
Ghost Recon Future Soldier.
To be honest it's not a bad game, just fairly average. I really enjoyed GRAW and its sequel but FS just felt like it grabbed my hand at the very beginning and never really let go.
There were some neat moments and I don't want to shit on it because as I said, it's not a bad game. Just the poorest I've played this year and I never felt compelled to finish it which is kind of rare.

Yeah, that seems to be the concensus. I'm still going to give it a try when it's cheap enough, I've loved them all so far!AC3 is one of the weaker Assassin's Creed games. It feels disjointed. All of its systems don't mesh together well. The pacing is kinda off. The insta-fail missions are frustration and the checkpoints in those missions don't help matters. The main character is blah. Finding where to begin climbing on trees is not clear. The bugs right after it was released were many.
Ship battles are fun though.
usually I got something, but I spent 2012 gaming relatively safe and bought fewer games.
so not much negativity from me here
ScOULaris said:As for games that I played this year that weren't actually released this year, the dishonor goes to Nier. I bought into the GAF praise and picked up the game used. After spending a couple of hours with it, I immediately took it back to the store and returned it. I honestly can't understand the love for that game around here. Everyone praises its story and music, but I thought both were atrocious! I was actually embarrassed while playing it, as I knew my wife was in the other room hearing that awful dialog and thinking to herself, "Who the fuck did I marry?" Game was bad. Real bad.
Started diving into my backlog and played Bit Trip Runner.
What an awful game. A great first 30 minutes that's absolutely ruined by awful level design by the end of Zone One.
