Dante's Inferno & Darksiders. They were terribad...

[Tawney Bomb]

Been gaming since the SNES, but Devil May Cry 2 was the first game I really hated. It was such a let down and I paid $50 for it.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I don't know what hate is until I rented this game

And this was supposed to be The Next Big Thing. I saw a video review on YouTube, but it was taken down a long time ago.

So much potential, and yet I beat it within an hour. Never played a THQ game again.

 

[oneida]

Almost forgot about this sack of shit on the NES. Was this any good in the arcades?

Haha what? Trojan is a great game.

 

[Calidor]

UN Squadron. Too hard for my sorry 12 yo ass

 

[paully]

Seriously it's my least favorite system. Outside of a handful of first party games it felt like a console purely for shovelware. PSX stomped on it when it came to 3rd party support.

Glover was garbage and something I still loathe to this day.

I enjoyed it back in the day (SM64, GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Zelda, etc..) , but the system had plenty of shovelware as you say, poor 3rd party support, and it has aged worse than any other console in recent memory.

 

[Delicious Waffles]

Rented it from Blockbuster. One of the first games I ever rented there. Took it home and, within a half hour, I absolutely hated it. Couldn't see myself playing this for whatever number of days they let you keep it. Went to the extent of going back the same night and asking if I could exchange it because it wasn't working right when it was working perfectly fine, just to get rid of it.

I don't know why I didn't like it. Down the line, I played Twisted Metal 2 for hours and loved it. Never really touched the series since.

 

[Gamespawn]

Robocop NES. I hated that game with every fiber of my being. It was my first NES game, too.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Honestly, Half-Life 2. It was not even close to as exciting as my cousin initially made it seem. I was so bored and bummed out by the end of the game that I didn't want to touch another Valve game again...but then I played Portal.

Basically, I really can not believe how disappointed I was with Half-Life 2..and with Portal 2.

 

[Amir0x]

I remember really hating that Tom Sawyer game on NES when I was little

maybe because I sucked so bad at it and kept dying on that mansion level after the balloon one...

 

[MrCompletely]

 

[awa64]

Soccer Mania, Dragon's Lair: The Legend, Hook, Hudson Hawk, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Last Action Hero, 3 Ninjas Kick Back, Chuck Rock...

Sony 1990-1994 sure went out of its way to prove "free" doesn't mean "good" to young me.

 

[Parallax]

This is football?

Jesus Christ this. The worst damn football game I've ever played. My cousin and I could never score on each other so we gladly went back to tecmo bowl

 

[QisTopTier]

Thankfully Brave Fencer Musashi came out and satisfied my thirst.

 

[jWILL253]

You're a brave one...

Spoiler

You disobeyed one of the 10 Commandments: Thou Shalt Not Slander Half-Life 2

 

[Tokyo Rain]

It's a bad game from a bad series.

Sacriledge

 

[bernardobri]

What a piece of shit.

 

[jWILL253]

What a piece of shit.

Hey, man... the Geico Gecko didn't always start out doing commercials. He had to start somewhere...

 

[Retro_]

The input delay in this game is legendary.

You could input a combo, go make a sandwich and come back in time to watch the other character die.

Really cheap US cash in on the popularity of the anime at the time. IIRC the cutscenes were straight up just scenes from the anime recut.

The story mode is pretty easy. You can clear everything just by mashing.(which is pretty much all you can do as the game is too laggy to reasonably play any other way)

Then you get to the final boss vs Toguro and welp.

Even as a kid who was obsessed with the anime, I could see this for the piece of crap that it was. Saved up birthday money to buy it full price too so it's the only thing that really comes to mind when you ask me about the first game I truly hated.

 

[Rebel Leader]

That I can CLEARLY remember

Modern warfare 2

 

[WrenchNinja]

Super Nintendo
Lion King
Level 2


First time I realized I could hate a game

I beat this game and I remember liking it. I also remember it being stupidly hard and the platforming being super broken. But it was badass when you finally become Adult Simba.

 

[H_Prestige]

 

[Diomedeskun]

I started on my family's Atari 2600, and I hated nearly every game we owned except for Superman and Defender. The one game I really wanted to love the most that was also the most brutally difficult, unfair, and just overall impenetrable was Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was like a proto-Zelda, but you got attacked by snakes that were the same color as parts of the background, thieves who would steal your vital items, walls that you had to shoot over and over again to slip out of, and worse.

I didn't really become a gamer until I got my NES. The first game I hated there was probably Swords and Serpents, which was slow, boring, difficult, and had a terrible system with a bunch of passwords to save your game and party. It almost turned me off of RPGs forever, but I playd Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest not long after.

 

[Intru]

My memory's pretty poor so there might be something else, but me and my friends went to a rental store and got Superman 64 back in elementary school. Don't need to say it but we certainly did not have a good time.

 

[Mileena]

maybe Killer Instinct? My memory is pretty foggy though. MK Mythologies: Sub Zero is definitely up there

 

[malingenie]

Neogaf classic.

 

[Katsuragi]

My brother bought this game and we were terribly disappointed.

 

[Boney]

It's a bad game from a bad series.

buncha hipsters

 

[The Albatross]

Rented this for Genesis and absolutely fucking hated it. I was very glad to see this appear on a "Top 10 Worst genesis games" list recently.

 

[soxinthebox]

Airboarders 64. Someone at school rented it and was talking about it so I later did the same but it turned out to be garbage. Never trusted just anyone's opinion after that.

 

[antitrop]

While I'm sure it isn't a bad game, my brother always wanted to play this:



I couldn't get past this screen without being bored out of my mind

To date I think there is only one baseball game I have ever liked and it was Batter Up on the game gear.

Yup, totally had this game as a kid, too. One of the worst ways to start a video game, ever. The actual baseball game was pretty good, though. But yes, I mostly have memories of the fucking menu.

Almost bought this one going on screenshots alone. Thank god I didn't. It had the China Warrior effect of trying to wow you with BIG characters, but was really a piece of shit game in the end.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring for the GBA. Also the first game untried to return to target because I was convinced it was broken.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Rogue Galaxy: Great visuals and all but the story went from interesting, to a cliche ridden mess faster than you can flip a coin. The battle system got bogged down with annoying enemies that could be damaged a certain way and the dungeons got long. I was saved by the fact I didn't pay much for it but man did that game tick me off something fierce.

 

[secretanchitman]

glover on n64. so damn boring and frustrating that it gave me a headache. never gave it a second chance.

 

[The Albatross]

Yeah the graphics were incredible with really high quality player models. But... god the game sucks. Look up a video of it, so frustrating

 

[Chemo]

Such a piece of shit. Played it one of those summers in elementary school when a new game was rented every couple of days.

 

[Shoyz]

I've played a lot of bad games, even horrible games, yet FFXIII was the only game that I hated absolutely every aspect of with -0- redeemable qualities whatsoever.

 

[heyf00L]

Lots of people making the ignore list in here. If you HATE the best games ever made, you don't have anything to say that I want to hear.

 

[Lumpy Onion]

Especially the graphics and audio. Fucking horrible all-around.

 

[Shoyz]

Especially the graphics and audio. Fucking horrible all-around.

If you're being sarcastic, yes. High quality assets with a horrible direction. Unless you're a fan of HD monsters like 'generic alien thing like every other XIII monster'

 

[jWILL253]

Especially the graphics and audio. Fucking horrible all-around.

Actually, that game was beautiful in some parts. The Crystal Lake, Grand Pulse & some of the best hair and cloth physics in this generation...

Hey man, there's a hipster in all of us...

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

X-Men for NES.

I could put up with games like Back to the Future, Ninja Kid, Chubby Cherub, and Friday the 13th.

But X-Men was utterly and complete shit.

Yeah, at a young age I was able to find fun in even the shittiest of the game. But there was none at all to be found in X-Men. It was a revelation.

 

[clem84]

I think he was being sarcastic. Whatever your personal tastes are, it's hard to argue against the graphics of this game. I think it's silly to say that a game with high production values like XIII has zero redemming qualities. It's one of prettiest game this gen. Audio wise, to me the game was nothing special. Overall I thought the gameplay was pretty good. But hey to each his own.

 

[Redd]

Snes Pit Fighter. A friend at school traded it to me for a Bazooka Joe gum. I want my gum back.

It happens to everyone. I generaly don't dislike really popular games but there are always exceptions. For example, I hated MGS3 and I'm well aware that it's universally praised. It happens.

 

[Ilive1up]

mighty max for the sega genesis.

 

[Magnus]

Hating? As in, not just 'not liking', but rage-inducing? Easy.

Final Fantasy XIII. Found it offensive to all my sensibilities as a gamer and an FF fan.

 

[MotionBlue]

Blades of Steel; My cousin knew how to activate the fights, and always won the game by doing so.

Super Star Wars: Was too hard for my young self, rage inducing. Felt bad that I never beat it.
