I thought I was the only one who used Excel to write articles.

There are several games like CD-i Zelda, Superman 64, Rise of the Robots, Pit-Fighter, and other unplayable crap, their picks seems quite random.
That's not how you spell Maltrain.can't we just ban LUN and call it a day.
Both Okami and Shenmue are boring as f*ck. Not deserving of being on this list, but I wouldn't blame anyone for thinking they are bad games.

If onlycan't we just ban LUN and call it a day.
Trolling is forbidden on Neogaf... next...
So should be you and your poor attemps at seeking attention.
I mean, this is the most idiothic thing ever. You are Chilean, right? If you are ashamed of what Chilean newspapers are writing why the fuck do you come to GAF to spread the news? Why the hell are you mocking Chilean journalism when you are a journalist yourself? And my friend oh my friend, you are not better than them. Now everyone here thinks we Chileans are fucking stupid and we all have awful taste in gaming. Thanks for that! Mr. I have a cable from another awful newspaper from Chile.
I hope you come here on GAF to post proudly when we Chileans start a war with Peru or Bolivia. I'm sure you will.
Todo el jet set Chileno gamer posteando aca? XDDDDD
So LUN has posted another shitty news and we made it international? It's as shoking as Zmart having mass effect trilogy for ps4 listed on his web.
That's probably the most sensible way to categorize the list, I do find Okami questionable (though it was out quite awhile in Japan and blew up outside of Japan so JAPANESE sales could've been enough while NA and maybe Europe likely grossly exceeded expectations.) Any other criteria for the list would be kind of absurd really.The question by the journalist (brought by the ET excavation topic) was about the top failures of the industry, not the top panned games by the critics or the audience (or the "worse" games like the artictle implies at first). With that context in mind, and like it was said before, all those games either bombed hard (Shenmue and Psychonauts) or just straight up nailed the coffin for some game studios (Grim Fandango, Okami). Although the list might not be 100% accurate (no numbers to compare to other bombas like Beyond Good and Evil and APB).
So, in short, the interviewed people gave (mostly) correct answers, so it was the journalist who made the mistake of a very poor choice of words for the title..
Other more mature media deal with similar critics, just look at Armond White for example.That's it. I lost my faith in the gaming industry and community.
The grim highlight is that those people call themselves ...teachers of game development! If there was a gaming police, they should be arrested by now and being tortured to play all those games until the end.
Shenmue, Okami, Grim Fandango and Psychonauts are cream of the crop games.
Definitely games ahead of their time (especially Shenmue), thus most people wouldn't take a good taste out of them, however it is only slime to teach such things and through a newspaper to the public.
Let's wait for the gaming industry and community arround the world to be more mature... and not just quick bursts of adrenaline types, but in a respectable manner as Robin Hunicke's idealistic, silly, wonderful view of video games:
It's a fantastic game, the secret is to feel free to dump it for a few months or even years then come back. The game's divided nicely for such an approach too. Nevermind that everyone has different tolerance levels for stuff like that, never really bugged me that much but I had a taste of Camelot games when I was younger and it didn't sound as outright dumb as the Banjo gibbering.Okami does suck. It is one of the world's most boring games ever. Even people who like to tout how cool Okami is never actually finished it. I believe that noise that plays during dialogs will actually make you go crazy if slog through the 40 hours to finish it.
