Is it actually bad? It, and 2, seemed to get good reviews when released on Wii VC. As a platformer fan who recently acquired thousands of Nintendo Points I was going to download this or the sequel soon. Looked fine on YouTube.
Fuck this game.

What a piece of shit.
Of course, I didn't understand the game's rules until reading about it just now...

Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, still probably my most hated game ever. You never forget your first.

Half life.
I watched a buddy play like 3 hours of it and it just looked horrible. I like it better these days but i still don't think it's the game many people make it out to be

It's decent.
The controls take a little while to get ahold of, and it has that collect-a-thon nature that all euro platformers of that era seem to have. But it's not bad.
You also had to put 5 passwords , 1 for each party member and one for game progress.

To be honest it was my own fault for expecting something wayyyyyy different.

Probably none, bad videogames are not important enough to be awarded with my attention, let alone my hate.
Ha yes, exactly this for exactly this reason, although I think I luckily only rented it.
The boxart was awesome, and at the back they had all these beautifully large sprites (for that time) of amazing enemies. Then when you played it it was just some static screen. You pressed the move button a few times, then suddenly some monster was on the screen and you were dead.
I tried it a few times, but I just could not figure out how it should work, and it was disappointing as feck. Hated spending money on it.
Starfox Assault.
I love Starfox and I love the first level in Assault, but it quickly goes downhill, mostly due to the controls. For years now, I periodically pick it up, hoping that ill find some new redeeming quality to keep me playing. No luck. I think I hate it so much because I just want to like it but can't.

Thanks for the info. I like collecting in games so that would suit me just fine. From what I saw on YouTube there seems like loads of different routes to take, each filled with collectibles.
Oh, I remember a new one:

Ugh.
I used to LOVE the TV show when I was a child and Bubbles was my favorite character so I beg my parents to buy it and... man, how much I hated that game back then. They destroyed the poor hopes of a little girl.

Super Mario 2 NES
Same for me, I both loved it (animated intro and "speech") but also hated it because I couldn't get past the first level.
Once my dad got to some guy in a mall who fired darts, that was the only time we ever saw that/
The stupid inflatable boat sequence. I got past it maybe a handful of times but then would immediately die after to the T rex, or the velociraptors or something and have to go back through the boat sequence again. Ragequit after a couple days of trying.
This sums up my experience with the game. Except as a child I didn't know any better and enjoyed it anyway.

I rented it and wanted to cry. I remember calling the place back to ask if i could take it back that day for another and they said no. =(
Omg my sister owned this. Pure trash, really fucking bad.

You know I honestly still like this game overall even though it went eight kinds of stupid after the first few hours.
Heavy Rain is another story entirely though.
Ghost Busters for NES
I never had any idea what the hell I was supposed to do here.
A friend gave me that game for my Apple IIe with no instructions at all. I had to slowly figure out what to do by experimentation, which sucked because it takes like an hour to play one game of it. I think it took me at least two years to actually see the ending.
At that screen you're supposed to move the Ghostbusters cursor around the city and cross the paths of the ghosts moving toward Zuul. Then when a building flashes, go to it, push towards it, and press the action button. During the driving sequence, suck up the ghosts as you pass them, then you'll have to bust a Slimer-type ghost at your destination. This continues endlessly until enough PK Energy builds up (9999) to unleash Gozer. If some condition is met by then, you fight Gozer and seal the portal.
It was that last condition I always had trouble figuring out, and I actually don't remember it now, either.

First time I remember actively not wanting to play a game. Returned it to Blockbuster the same day.

Excalibur for the PS1. I remember digging the world, it was weird. But everything else was awful.
Came to post this. My mom rented this for me when I was very young, one of the first times I was ever disappointed in a video game. Couldn't even pass level 1
Growing up, there were a lot of games that I just simply disliked. It wasn't until Xenosaga Episode II that I understood what true hatred was. This game is just insulting.
Could you explain more. The first in the series was very good imo. Did not get around to play 2 or 3.

Yeah that game was terrible, but all my memories of playing it were erased by Xenosaga III.

When I was young I don't remember ever hating a game. If I was playing a bad game odds are I was just confused, like I thought I was playing it wrong or something. Even now that I'm older I rarely hate a game, even if I don't like it much.
But the one game I can remember hating with the fury of a thousand suns is probably Red Faction Armageddon. HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT I hate this game so MUCH! $60 preorder on Steam for this hunk of garbage and then I play it and find out it has nothing that made the previous game good.

bad gameplay lol
Xenosaga II is almost universally regarded as a terrible game, with a battle system that largely relied on random chance and luck. There's way more about it to hate, but that's the one thing that always sticks out to me.
Xenosaga III, however, is fairly amazing and the best game in the series.

KOTOR.
Here I was expecting what I would eventually get from Force Unleashed, and instead I got standing in place and dice rolls.
What a piece of shit.
Now in my top 5 favs.
