List the five worst games you have played and why. Commercial releases only.

I am working on my list. So far I have

1. Mode- terrible, still trying to figure out what was supposed to be accomplished.

2. Dog Day

3. A Quiet Weekend in Capri - Reminds me of my parents vacation slide shows.

Have any of you played any of the Residents games? What did you think? I played Bad Day on the Midway and am still trying to make sense of it.

yesterday i found this gem. a real gem of kidney stones

I hate RCT2, but probably that's because it is a step backwards from the first one with it's expansions. The worse thing is, that I waited and bought Totally RollerCoaster for a low price, and I had and have the attitude to not buy games at full price, but I was so excited that I couldn't wait in case of RCT2 (and I wanted to support the series and the makers). It's interesting, that I always bought games at full price that fell in price quite quickly, while I waited for low price editions or price reductions of games that seemingly never left their initial price behind...

I've didn't play t'll end those games, I really don't play games I don't like.
Pointless to do so.
I did try them, but ..... worthless ones (luckily they're all 'borowed' )
C&C Renegade, total screw up of the C&C gameplay.
Tomb Raider (ALL of them).
HL2 and Ep1 (Too easy).
HALO (pffffffrt big deal).

The 'bad feeling' that C&C R and the HL2 gave me was most about the total restriction of freedom of movement, scripted, guided games.
At least HALO had some *some* freedom of movement, a bit of scouting left, but not enough to fully enjoy the game.

Warhammer 40k: Chaos Gate is definitely on my list. An UFO clone, in many aspects barely a cheap copy of the original, even though it was released six years later...
Black Mirror is close second. Point-and-click adventure, with a promising beginning but very annoying puzzles. In several points of the game there are REAL-TIME waits until something occurs. Go and occupy yourself for quarter an hour until someone finds XXX for you, thankyouverymuch. I gave up near the end, since after an hour total a certain event still didn't happen even though I've been everywhere, got/done everything and talked to every character about everything as well. The first and last about five times over.

Seconded strongly.

I forgot to mention Empire Earth. The only good point is the wide range of units, but then again they are unbalanced. Also an example of the price mystery I wrote of above - bought it for DM90 (€45), and few months later it was at €30, then €20, then €20 together with it's expansion Art of Conquest! :mad:

Kings Quest 8 is probably the worst game I have ever played. I liked the Kings Quest titles (in particular Kings Quest III), but Kings Quest 8 was simply unplayable. The interface was a pain and the gameplay in general not very nice. A sad end for a nice series.

Tough one, I'll have to come back to this one, but the biggest let-down last year, without a shaddow of a doubt: TES Oblivion.

A bloated, shiny piece of shite. Character creation as deep as in Pac Man, and magic more crippled than a chicken nugget. Add a world as interesting as yesterday's coleslaw and you have a failure of epic proportions.

1. HALO - Way too overrated, overhyped, and single player campaigns were immensly boring. Trite storyline which involved some kinda Alien invasion.

2. Dune 2000 - Dune 2 with better interpace. Too same as Dune 2.

3. Universal Combat - Good concept, f***ing bad presentation. I cannot give even one point to this game!

4. Freedom Fighter - Overrated, boring, and poor tactical aspects make this game one of the most boring 3rd person shooter game EVER!!

5. Gods : Land of infinity - Total disgrace to RPG genre. Outdated graphic, crappy gameplay and sound make this game one of the worst RPG games ever.

These were 5 worst games I've EVER played!:mad:

Ok, here's another one:

"The I Of The Dragon" - A game that wants to be a lot of genres, and fails in everyone of them, leaving you with a "what the hell is this?" feeling, before you are bored into a coma: Every mission is the same: Kill all enemies and their lairs. Then, occationally, you get to build a town which apparently is very important, but it doesn't offer anything significant to the game, it's just a town that has to be defended against enemy attacks.... BOOOOORING!

Genres it wants to be:
RPG: You get XP by killing enemies and lairs, and when you level up, you get to distribute some points to your stats, or you can get a new spell. That's it... No chance of getting into the character, no plot, no story, just an endless series of "destroy all monsters" missions.

Simulator: A dragon simulator? That sounds cool... Unfortunately, it's not a sim. You are a dragon, the flying one, but there is nothing here that makes this dragon any different from any of the Mario bros.

Strategy: The world is a bunch of provinces with lame names. You can move between them as new provinces are unlocked. You can build 1 town in each of them.... Nope, there is nothing here that makes the game a strategy game. The towns are completly useless except for one thing: With a town, the enemy can't build new lairs. So what? They still can invade the province.

Add voice acting so daft it makes your head hurt. Seriously, even the worst voice acting from Ultima IX is worthy of praise and worship compared to this.
