Worst Game You've Ever Played?

Just remembered the name of that game. Its Unlimited Saga.
Be warned.

Fight Club. Especially the story mode.

Age-old gripe: FFVII

You deserve to die.

Daikatana..only played a demo and feel sorry for anyone who bought the full game.

Oh and a few on the Atari 2600...the smurfs, et etc. God why didnt my parents buy me a nes instead of that.

Once played a Ghostbusters game in the late 80s / early 90s on a friend's console / PC. No idea the name of the game, but I remember a 2D top-down view of a city (American style, in blocks) with the player controlling the Ghostbusters car while ghosts and maybe the Michellin Man stomp around the cities streets. It was rubbish.

I agree that Daggerfall was pants, but it wasn't the worst game ever.

Wrestlemania on the Amstrad 464+...now that was pants.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show on the Amstrad 464+ ... that was...bizarre, and totally unplayable.

That wasn't Ghostbusters on the C64 by any chance, was it? 'Cause if it was, it was actually quite OK for the day

did someone say FF VII? what a retard

Most recently would have to be Malice.

I remembered reading about it and seeing special features on TV about it a year or two ago. I thought it was supposed to be an Xbox launch title, but it was on the PS2.

It's pretty awful. It's like it was made by a bunch of people who only ever read about platform games in books and had never actually played one. And the main character was this really terrible Buffy-wannabe.

Also... Forbidden Siren. I was really looking forward to that one as it had received great reviews. But it really didn't click with me at all. The voices were horrible and story was disjointed. And it was really just a glorified hide and seek simulator.

yeah i played that for all of about 10 minutes. The dubbing was the most horrific thing about the whole game.

unreal 2 is fuking awful

Retr0gamer

Unreal 1 was even worse. Terrible game. Only got good reviews because of the great graphics. Thats another game I stopped playing 3/4 of the way through. It was terrible.

Hmmm, lets see
ET on the Atari is supposed to be one of the worst games ever, bankrupt Atari, and legend has it that there thousands of copies buried in the new mexico desert somewhere.

But of the games i've played amongst the worst are
halo: CE [PC] whatever your opinion on halo is the PC conversion was woefull, ran like a dog, and removed the co-op option. bored me to death and back
SoF 2 [PC]: never got past the jungle mission (2nd level), got pissed off, uninstalled it and installed painkiller instead. best move i ever made
Sensible Soccer: euro edition[PC]: I love sensible soccer beyond reason, but this was an abomination, payed 2 euro for it and considered trying to get my money back
Riddle of the sphynix [Atari 2600]: one of my first birthday presents for my Atari, my dad bought it, i have since vowed never to let him out of the house unsupervised ever again.
TrickStyle[DC]: wipeout with a hoverboard... except it was unplayable and seemed to sap the life from anyone within a 3 mile radius. even when it wasn't even in the machine...

Star Wars Galaxies.

Spending 8 hours killing butterflies to get the "slightly better than completly rubbish" gunner skill is not Star Wars.

Come to think of it most of these massive multiplayer rpgs aren't the best. Up with Knights of the Old Republic down with Galaxies I say.

Clearly your opinion is more valid than my own.

I bow to your gaming prowess.

If they didn't have the random encounter battles and let you skip the overly elaborate and boring spell-casting sequences - or just had a auto-fight-fast-forward button, I *might* have actually tried to finish it. Spent a few hours at the game - far more than I give to a game which annoys me within the first 30minutes - because of all the hype around it. Couldn't understand why people would want to be frustrated and constantly side-tracked during what is effectively 3cds of FMV.

In essence, suck my balls.

OLDYELLAR

that bloody quiddich harry potter thing on the ps , is definetely the most annoying and stupid!!

Gone West

back in the day i loved the commander keen series, but now they just plain suck

You Sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

this will probably be a very unpopular choice but i played one of the recent splinter cell games and i thought it was atrocious, arkward controlls, acamera that not occasionally but ALWAYS points in the wrong direction, and what made me uninstall it? the preachy voiceover gimp who keeps giving out to you for killing the bad guys fails you on the mission for killing too many of them, WTF? the best way of making sure you go unnoticed is in my opinion to make sure the bad guys are dead therefore reducing thier perceptiveness.

all in all i thought the game was nearly as bad as my spelling and grammar

rainbow kirby

You are so not alone. I hated Splinter Cell on the GameCube.

Yeah that's some true shít... I couldn't stand Splinter Cell either, all the hype, all the adds... and such a puddle of crap.
Ohh look at the way he jumps up on the wall where the enemies can't see him! Oh wait you can only do it in selected areas and the actual game is nowhere near as flexable as it's marketed to be!

Have to say I found Project IGI a big disapointment aswell, it's like the developers spent all their time making the first level then pissed through making all the other maps... the over-use of generic prefab buildings made things repetitive, and ontop of that the AI was the worst I've seen in any FPS ever... even bedroom-coded multiplayer bots know when they shouldn't be able to see you.... in Project IGI the stupid AI will shoot you through the cieling of the room below.

Yeah the single player missions in SCPT are crap tbh. Didn't really enjoy them, like most of the Tom Clancy games, they felt shallow and tedious. But the online play on the xbox was great. One of my favorite live games.

random battle is the gayest thing ever in gaming

except for maybe championship manager, worst game ever

Gummy Panda

well rpg's are starting to move away from random battles. Tales of Symphonia and Star Ocean are examples of Japanese games trying this. Not many western RPG's i can think of had random battles.

Raskolnikov

Raiders of the Lost Ark on the Atari 2600

I was only 6 or seven when I got this travesty of a game. See the screenshots for yourself, awful, baffling and a complete dog to try and play. I actually though that I got a dud cartridge it was so bad.


That's 'Indy' after wretching his guts up realising hes in the worst game ever.

Retr0gamer

But most western RPGs are just hack and slash or D&D in disguise.
