View Full Version : The Worst Video Games You've Played

I got this idea from the 'Worst movies you've seen recently' thread. Forgive me if this been done already, I didn't see a thread like this anywhere so it's either buried deep enough to which a new thread is warranted or I need glasses/contacts. What are some of the worse, and/or the worst of the worse games you have ever played?

There are few games in the world I can say that I honestly hated. Usually the worst a game ever does to me is bore me and then becomes forgettable after I play it and for me that is the worst thing a video game can do. However... there is at least one game out there that I honestly do hate and leaves a sour taste in my mouth every time I think about it.

The one game.

One game to rule them all,
one game to find them,
one game to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them!

You thought it was going to be a Lord of the Rings game, didn't you?


The only good thing about this game is the promos that you can watch while on the character select screen. This came out a year after vs. The World and the same year as WCW vs. nWo World Tour, both of which are critically acclaimed games right up there with Revenge which came out a year later. There is no excuse for how bad this game is. It doesn't have any life, any substance and people only played tournament mode so they could hear the rare nWo theme because the internet had maybe five people on it. And this got a N64 re-release *sobs* But it doesn't stop there, oh no. Because what's worse than a bad wrestling game?

The same goddamn game re-branded as Thunder and given one match difference from the previous with some added members to the roster! What were they thinking!? This game is an inside-out asshole regurgitating putrid anal fecal matter! I'd rather smurfing yank all the hairs out of my scrotum! I'd rather drink diarrhea vomited out of a buffalo's anus! It sucking smurfs, it smurfing sucks, it smurfing blows, it's a piece of trout... and I don't like it.

Good call with the WCW games, they are horrendous. Good thing they got it right with the N64 games.

the Busby games of the mid-90's are some of the worst I've played, along with a Frantic Flea. They were awful platformers designed as an alternative to Mario as that genre was obviously massive at that time, but they were nothing more than cheap cash-ins.

They changed developers when they went to Nitro and Thunder. That was their first mistake.

Maybe if you're not a wrestling fan or got into them late. The latest games by WWE has fallen into the wash, rinse, repeat that a lot of games today do and the industry is less popular than it was in the late nineties. But there were some decent games back when wrestling was still hot to choose from, many of which were made by the same developers. War Zone is praised pretty highly too since it introduced 'Create a Wrestler' and had a lot of good options to choose from that would carry over to the rest of their games. Then there was the introduction of season mode.

tl;dr: Nitro and Thunder set the standard of the trite that none of the others have been able to surpass since their conception.

I actually enjoyed the hour I spent playing it. I mean, it was a glorified flash game and I don't care to spend much time in it, but I've played games that I found much less entertaining.

There are a lot of games I dislike but which I can sort of see the appeal of so I wouldn't call them "Worst" so much as "Games I Do Not Enjoy". FFXII, Hearts of Iron 3, and Civ V are among them. Every time I swear to god that I'm going to force myself to play them and enjoy them but then I load them up and end up quitting after an hour or two because I am simply not enjoying myself. But they all have their die-hard fans so I'm guessing it's a "me" issue more than anything.

I did force myself to beat Oblivion because I wanted to say that I did, but I didn't really enjoy that game until the Shivering Isles content which was great.

WCW Mayhem wasn't bad you know.

Splinter Cell is a bag of wank but possibly the worst I've played was Beijing Olympics 2008. Here are my thoughts from five years ago!

My brother, as he is prone to do, got carried away by the Olympics and bought this game. So I've played it for a bit, and set out for an epic Olympic adventure, pitting the might of the British Empire against the world. By the world I apparently mean Italy, Greece, Spain, Bahrain, South Africa and a couple of other major sporting nations.

This game requires you to "waggle" the control stick in order to run. Running is an important thing, obviously, and not just for running events. You need to run in things like the long jump, throwing a javelin and whatnot. Naturally, with it being such an important thing, they made it extremely easy to use, right? No. No, in fact China hates the West so much they decided to make it a digital kick to the crotch, and then they banged your granny for good measure. Here is a list of the things that do not constitute waggling:

- Moving the stick from side to side.
- Moving the stick up and down.
- Moving the stick in a clockwise circle.
- Moving the stick in an anti-clockwise circle.
- Moving the stick randomly around.
- Screaming "What the smurf do you want from me you smurfing :bou::bou::bou::bou: game?"
- Curling up into a ball in the corner and gently sobbing.

The closest I've come to success is to put it on my crotch and then act like I'm having a smurfing spasticated wank with it. Yes. Thank you for that, Sega.

This results in all these AI competitors shooting past me and me waddling like a turtle with diarrhoea. Hurdling adds a lot more fun to the mix. Not only do you have to "waggle" (smurf that word. seriously. It used to be one of my favourites) but you also have to jump when a hurdle comes up. It sounds simple, but my hurdler decided he was too good for jumping, and instead bravely smashed through every single one. When you approach the line you can press RT to do a dip to lower your time, or LT to showboat, Usain Bolt style. So naturally I reached the finish line a good ten seconds after the Italians had claimed gold, my hurdler proudly waved to the crowd, knowing he had served Queen and country. Good job, son. Good job. Go Team GB!

And then, he came. Who is he? A ginger man. A beautiful ginger man. But somehow I won gold in the High Jump and silver in the Long Jump with this man. I don't know how he did it. But he did. And I will forever love him. Me and ginger Dave (he looked like a Dave) shared a moment as he stood proudly on the podium and God Save the Queen played out across the Bird's Nest stadium. It's a nice touch that they have every single nation in the game's anthem on there. I also have to love the attention to detail with the long jump and the throwing events. Men in jackets raise little flags and measure everything. That's wonderful. I think more games need these guys. Although they kept taking their jackets on and putting them back on again between throws. I don't know what was up with that.

Swimming. Oh smurf swimming. No, seriously. I smurfing won that trout. I pumped my fists in the air in victory as I crossed the line first... until apparently I didn't. The results screen came up and apparently I came in 4th with the Chinese claiming victory... HMM, THE HOST NATION, HOW UNSUSPICIOUS. You just know it's a conspiracy by the evil communist Chinese. They've never forgiven us for holding onto Hong Kong for so long. Hilariously, in the other swimming event, I sort of came last. I say "sort of", because I did come last...but the game decides I had actually come in third and handed me a bronze. I have to ask just who it was that let this past quality control? Who just does not give enough of a smurf to allow that through? It seems like it's just one of the easiest things to program. Have the guy who comes in first win the race. And then there was the diving. Which I was none too shabby at, actually! I took gold...just. You see, one of the judges, one of the horrible, ganja smoking, floppy hat wearing, rastafarian judges, whose nation will not be revealed, decided every single dive I did was trout. The other judges were having a merry old wank to my efforts, but not Cool Runnings over here. Oh no. Yeah? Well I've heard farts that sounded better than some of Bob Marley's songs.

Another sport I like is gymnastics. Mostly because it's "press button when we say so!" stuff which is easy to win at, but also because of the brilliant, brilliant attention to detail. As we all know, all gymnastic coaches are paedophiles. Watching little girls contort their bodies in skin-tight outfits? Come on buddy, who do you think you are you fooling? This game has captured that. After your gymnast performs, there is a cutscene of her (or him) sitting down next to an old man in a tracksuit. The old man stares intently at the gymnast for a good 10-15 seconds, while the gymnast awkwardly tries to avoid his steely gaze. Credit where credit is due: Nicely smurfing done, Sega.

Other sports include Cycling, which is also heartily broken as I managed to lap the German team but apparently they had a quicker time than me, Shooting, where keeping a steady aim is apparently a bad thing and instead your gun has to be moving when you shoot if you want to hit anything, Archery, which I excelled at, but the computer AI is smurfing Legolas and Robin Hood all rolled into one and refuses to smurfing choke, Kayaking...which caused me a lot of emotional trauma and I just don't feel like I am ready to talk about it yet, Judo, where you have to put in combinations to throw people, which sounds simple enough, only these combinations are not listed anywhere so you're just destined to get smurfed and smurfed hard, and Table Tennis, which isn't so bad I suppose, but it drags on a bit. I mean, it has variety, yeah, I'll give it that. But the controls are so smurfing broken for certain events that I can easily dominate and get gold with a clear margin on some events first time, but on others I'll perform so badly I would lose at a school sports day. It's just too inconsistent. Plus little errors like not acknowledging who actually won ...well no, that is a major error right there...irk. Not worth buying. Probably not worth renting. I don't think my brother is going to touch it again. I don't think I will either.

Anything from the atrocious Legend of Spyro series. They turned it into a brawler/beat-em-up style game. I don't know why they did this. What was wrong with the original Spyro way of doing things? Gone is collecting gems and other things. Gone is interesting level design. Everything is just dark and gritty, you could say. You can run out of fire breath. I don't even understand.

What makes these worse than the other PS2 entries to the series? I don't know. Enter the Dragonfly was broken, which made that bad. A Hero's Tail just wasn't very engaging. They just lacked the charm Insomniac brought to the series, I think, but they tried. The Legend of Spyro just disregards charm and tries to make something.... I don't know. It just makes me mad. xD

I never played ET for Atari but I know what you speak of with Superman 64. My only accomplishment is getting farther in that game than the Angry Video Game Nerd did, but that isn't much to brag about.

Is that the one where they redesigned him and made him look terrible? Because I had a feeling that was going to suck from the get-go. You run out of fire breath? I don't even.

The first three games are classics and I refuse to acknowledge anything after that.

That's probably Skylanders you're thinking of, but it's not that one. There was one last attempt to make Spyro important again with The Legend of Spyro before he took a backseat in the Skylanders games. Elijah Wood voices Spyro in these particular games.

Crash Bandicoot somehow never dropped to the depths of crappiness like The Legend of Spyro. There was just a distinct lack of trying and quality with the Crash games.

I was actually quite wrong, as the first game with a create a wrestler mode was a Fire Pro Wrestling game from 1993.

Superman 64 sucks but never got most copies of it buried in the New Mexico desert. I have played E.T. and have no problems saying that this game is the reason there is no magic in this world and the reason america has gone from a zoot suit wearing world power to fatsos in rascals at Wal-Mart.

A recent example for me is Assassin's Creed 3. Jesus fucking wept. One of my favouite franchises from the generation; I thoroughly enjoyed AC, despite it's heavy flaws, and I loved 2. Brotherhood was like more 2, so I loved it even though it made me feel a little uneasy. Even Revelations was great, despite the warning signs of gimmicky wankshit. Then comes 3.

Absolutely no redeeming fucking qualities to that game whatsoever. I am not angry at the game or its developers, I'm just so fucking stunned that they could make an AC game that bad. I dragged myself through about half of it, just expecting it to get good at some point, but it just kept getting worse and worse and worse as it went on.

I tell a lie; there was one good thing. The dagger on a piece of string was great fun, and I thoroughly enjoyed stringing people up. Ambushing money wagons was pretty much all I enjoyed doing in this stupid fucking pathetic fucking excuse of a game.

^ This concerns me since I plan to review that at some point. Ah well, if that be the case it'd be my first negative review since Fighter Maker. Speaking of Fighter Maker, imagine a fighting game where the only thing you have to do is spend hours through in-depth creation options to make your own fighter and once you're done realize you have absolutely NOTHING to do. That game was terrible.

The worst game I have ever played, without qualification, is Versailles: A Game of Intrigue, also known as Versailles: 1685. It was supposed to be a Myst style adventure thing or something but it ended up being a completely stupid featureless non-functional piece of crap that I think was actually a hidden object game where the hidden objects were invisible and unclickable. Like, the game was either so obtuse or so downright broken that I never progressed at all, I started the game and that was it, no progression was possible, no puzzles could be solved, no exploration could be done, I don't believe I even found a single other character to talk to.

Yes clearly properly functioning games that do what they're supposed to are "worst game ever" material when games that are barely playable like Iznogoud and Bubsy 3D, or games that are downright offensive like Custer's Revenge, or games so bad they had to be buried in the desert like E.T. exist.

I'm surprised any Final Fantasy game is listed here, for even the worst of Final Fantasy I'd still consider miles ahead of thousands of crud games. I can easily call one FF game terrible when going up against a much better FF title, but when compared to a truly crap game even the worst FF title is a shiny treasure.

It wasn't the worst game ever, but it possibly hurt me the most. Bionic Commando Rearmed 2.

YOU CAN JUMP. In a game where the entire point is not being able to jump and needing to use your arm to get around. It's like making a Mario game where you can't jump. It's like making a Mega Man where he doesn't have an arm cannon. Why would they do this?

The first Rearmed was a great game, which makes it hurt even worse. A different studio made Rearmed 2 and screwed it all up.

It's more interesting to talk about unusual candidates than to just make this thread a list of the same obvious choices. Games that are unanimously bad shouldn't even be considered topics for discussion, you boring grass-fed sow. :colbert:

And to use Yahtzee's Matrix, going into a game expecting it to be great and finding out it's a steaming sack of shit is a far worse feeling than going into a shit game expecting it to be shit and having it be exactly the shit you were expecting.

Yes! Which is such a shame as the original series on the PS1 fills me with such great nostalgia. I remember the moment when I bought the PS2 release (can't remember the name of it) and being so disappointed.

I know I'm probably going to get a ton of hate for this post, but Final Fantasy XII is my least favorite game. I find it hard to think of a game I like less than it.

That said, I understand it's pretty "love it or hate it", so I'm sure it's fantastic if you're into the kind of game it is. Walking up to enemies and watching my party kill them over and over again for 40+ hours with minimal human input just isn't my definition of fun, personally. I also found the soundtrack extremely lackluster and forgettable compared to other FFs, and the story didn't really do it for me either. The scope of the world and the size of the environments were also a downside for me, since most of it was just 4 or 5 screens of the same field with nothing in them but monsters and a couple treasures. I'd rather the environments be smaller and better designed than unnecessarily huge. It just made a lot of traversing through the game feel like filler.

I may try a no-gambit run at some point and see if I enjoy it any more, but since the game was so obviously designed around the gambit system, I think my opinions are at least sort of justified (for me personally). Just not into that type of gameplay.

You are a very funny person. For a moment I thought this was a real list.

No one has mentioned Superman 64 yet?

Maybe not the worst game I've played, but I'll give a mention to Super Mario Sunshine. Mario games pride themselves on precise controls, and controlling that water backpack was wonky at best. Some of the platforming difficulty was due to the awkwardness of the controls rather and that's just poor design. :mad2:

In all seriousness, there's an Amiga game called "The Town With No Name" that is so bad it's hard to believe it exists. Great Retsupurae videos of it on youtube.

Why on Earth are people still ribbing on SH4? I can kinda understand why back in the day when it was compared tO SH2 and 3, and it wasn't even focused in teh town of Silent Hill, but since then we have had Homecoming and Shattered Memories dropped on us.

My fave wrestling game of all time is Shut Your Mouth for the PS2. I play wrestling games for the careeer modes, to live out my childhood fantasy of being a pro wrestler. And it had by far my favorite career mode as it spanned "two years" and had all sorts of diverging paths.

A lot of the more recent games have had really disappointing storylines IMO. Well, I haven't played a new one in...six years so maybe I'm out of date.

Pretty much. It started to go downhill at SvR 2007 with predictable storylines, then 2008, while not completely terrible, certainly didn't live up to previous games and after that it was like they weren't even trying anymore (kinda like real life, heh) and then they threw in a 'Create a Story' mode as if to say, "Here, we're pretty sure you can come up with a better story than us anyway."

Changed my mind. Worst game is Farmville.

If you think about it Farmville and all the games like it, is just you placing random timers here and there and when they tick down to zero you just put another timer up. People pay for the weirdest crap.

Megaman Battle Network 4. We go from the brilliance that is MMBN3, to probably the single worst game I have ever played. I tend to avoid bad titles, but I saw this one cheap (having heard nothing about it), and figured it would be worth it to see the story continue.

And it would have been. If the game had a continuation of the story. Or anything at all to recommend it.

It's hard to say what I think is legitimately terrible because I only buy games I intend to like.

That being said, Shifters is awful. Almost any non-Might & Magic property from the now-defunct 3DO is a candidate.

Heavenly Sword and Dragon Age. I just didn't like them. I can't really say why, cause I don't know really. I guess maybe game play it's self is the reason. I'm odd i know.

I owned WWF Attitude. I don't know why considering I've always hated professional wrestling. The game sucked so much.

I currently own a game called Falling Stars which came in a three pack with Chulips and one other game I don't recall (or maybe it was just a double-pack... whatever)... this game... the plot/story is just lazy. The controls are wonky, mini-games are lame, the battle system is lame, the character and monster designs are lame. This is basically a dress-up game with added features to make it appear as though it offers more than dressing up. You can acquire a small array of dresses and accessories to change your appearance (yes dresses, your character is a girl). The ending is lame and confusing. The game makes you think there's more gameplay past the final battle both due to how the story plays out and the fact that once the credits end, you end up right back in front of the final boss.

I think someone did, but your right, its controls are the stuffs of living nightmares.

I have a few games that belong on this list:

Any sports managing games... seriously x.x what a terrible idea.

Now, I consider myself very easily pleased, but THIS tripe is simple the worst RPG I have ever played. Terrible story, terrible fighting and the voice acting... dry dull and completely forgettable.

Now the next game is the stuff of Legends... Legendary Nightmares that is, I shudder just to think about how truly bad this game is.

That game is...

EoFF itself is a pretty horrible game. Been playing it for almost 2 decades and have yet to complete it. :(
