The game was ok until you get close to the end, where it stopped being a puzzle/adventure game and became a bunch of mazes with a puzzle lock door at the end. The best part was that the puzzle door came out of nowhere, and none of the things I thought were clues to something were used at all. The door could only solved by trial and error, AND it was timed. If you failed to open the door in time, the world ended.
I'd say Ghostbuster for the nes was a highly horrible sucky experience. Pressing A real fast to get up the stairs...my god that was stupid. And also Jaws for the nes. Ugh
Ever heard of a game called "Koudelka"? It was one of the last PS1 games released before the PS2 came out. With 4 disks I thought it was going to be an intense experience... Which it was, if you consider one of the definitions of intense to mean 'deeply frustrating'.
It had this annoying turn based combat system which is something that wouldn't normally annoy me but this took far more time that it should have done, was far too random and took place on this grid which served no purpose except to add an unnecessarily complication to the game. Also it was supposed to be set in Wales, my homeland, and be based on local myths. At 15 years old I was actually offended to find that all the characters were voiced by the same voice actors who seem to voice every manga dubbed into english and none of them had bothered to even attempt a Welsh accent.
This was 10 years ago and the accent thing probably might not bother me so much, these days, but I would probably still interpret it as something pretentious. (At least when Steve Parcell represents somewhere he makes certain everybody knows he did it without any frame of reference). And even then I would probably only laugh about it, these days.
I would probably rate Broken Sword 4 as the next worst. The dialogue sucked. The puzzles were an improvement over BS3 (anything would be, though. I think the puzzles were so outrageous in the second one that they were a little over-zealous when it came to 'nurfing' the difficulty), but for me half the fun of a PCA game is the story.
Secret Files: Tunguska (Nintendo DS) was similarly bad. I don't know what country this was made in but the characters in this game kept making these odd comments which I had previously thought was cheesy dialogue. Then one of the characters said something in an Irish pub (everybody in Ireland was unusually grumpy, by the way. I guess it's good that they avoid stereotypes, here, but I personally think it's best to just avoid the negative ones).
I also regret buying Smugglers Run, Twisted Metal Black (it was highly censored in the UK, which I found odd) and the last Simpsons game that was released (it was a Wii version, if that helps anybody. Only 1 simpsons game on the wii to my knowledge. I guess my hopes were high, because Hit & Run was good. Well H&R wasn't as funny as the show used to be but it was fun to play).
Spyro Year of the Dragon Fly. WHY DID YOU DO THIS UNIVERSAL? Why couldn't you let Insomniac have it, I didn't want Ratchet & Clank I want Spyro! Also, any of those terrible remakes.
i think they should have stopped with the spyro games a long time ago.the first three maybe four games were great but they just became dumber and dumber after that.its sad really:(
Albion (for PC). What little I played was great. The part that made it suck was the fact that it would ALWAYS freeze early in the story. Always at the same spot, too. I never got past this issue.
Yeah, it´s too bad that this HUGE game had some weird glitches and crashes. First time I playe it crashed early on for me too (the first time you see one of those cat people, as a cutscene), but I could get over it the second time by clicking rapidly and actually skipping that bit. :P
it was a game on newgrounds pico sim date 2 the ending was the worst ending ever
Um, if you're going to include Newgrounds as a source of bad games to choose from, there are SO many more horrible games on there (and plenty of 'em get blammed pretty soon too, of course). Let's stick to mostly commercial games here, shall we?
Speaking of which, I got nothing. Played plenty of good and bad games, old and new, but I can't really recall many really bad ones when I have to. Like now.
I've played a few bad games. I really don't like most fps besides Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, and the Time Splitters series. The others just seem to be the same old thing over and over.
Also, I made the mistake of renting Superman 64. I thank god that I didn't waste any more money on that.
Firstly: Disney games. And about ANY game made out of a movie. They're just another form of money sinkers with no real gameplay. The most common type is just whack-all-the-enemies-down-and-collect-some-unuseful-stuff-along-the-way. And this lasts for all about.. 10 levels there is. >.>
For example, Kung Fu Panda was a great movie, but once I tried a demo of the videogame.. My God.
Then, Legend of Spyro trilogy. I swear, it's NOTHING like the old Spyros were. Where is the gem collecting? All those greatly-designed characters? Minigames? All this trilogy has for you is to whack those baboons out with karate kicks and listen to a overly-dramatic story of Spyro, the LAST PURPLE DRAGON OHMYGOSH. -_- And everything is dark, ooh so dark. He is our last hope.
All this dark stuff just didn't fit on Spyro. At all! Plus when I hear Elijah Wood's voice acting I keep changing that dragon into a hobbit inside my mind.
I do admit, the third one (Dawn of the Dragon ) was actually pretty good. You could fly around, the characters had matured, and the attacks were more dragon-like. And NO MORE BABOONS.
The story was still ridiculously over-dramatic, though.

Alright, the current worst game I've played: Sonic Unleashed. The game is great...in the day stages. At night, the game becomes god-dang annoying. The controls are slippery, there's WAY too many pitfalls, and if you mess up while doing the monotonous fighting sequences, you usually fall off a cliff and die. I recently popped the disc back in my Wii to see if I can try beating it again. I was wrong. I was very close to throwing my GameCube controller into the television.
Well, I've played Heroes and Shadow. Heroes was great. I rented Shadow, and it was meh. I just liked going down the dark path and killing everyone important.

Shadow and '06 are like the Cancer that is killing Video games as we know it.
"Oh yay, I went back in time to stop sonic from dying and changed the future without making a time paradox!"
Better than Shadow at the most. The Secret Rings game was OK, but the party mode was very good. It was fun to just grab some friends and just play that for a while.
I have three
1Where's Waldo (NES)
2 Spy Kids Game Over 3D(PC) i got it when i was 8 or 9 and hated it
3 Superman Returns (PS2) CONTROLS ARE TERRIFING I COULDNT EVEN GET PAST THE FIRST LEVEL
its actually going to be 6 in just under 7 years, which is over doing it a little
Oh, It's not like we're likely going to get Coded anyways , unless you meant RE:Chain of Memories, but that's simply a remake. The only one out of the three spin-offs that *could* make it to America/Europe in 2009 is 358/2 days, and that's doubtful.
Coming from SE that's very little milking, really. Just look at Final Fantasy to see what's over doing something xD.

No wonder the AVGN reviewed it. twice.
Kusotarre world anyone?

I loved Twisted Metal: Black. Then again, I played the US version...
Original or 2006?
Ummm....No more heroes, anyone?
yeah... i know. at least there not cencoring the sequel.

But, I am going to put forward Super Paper Mario because it was a massive let down for a game we got, like, 2 months late.
This thread is still around?
Holy crap.

Clearly you never played the original DuckTales game
Hehe yes, old games from the 90's are all different.
Old Lion King also was a pure classic.
I cannot believe I just used that non-word *sigh*
p4wned!
Yes, the old 90's Disney games were great. I just wish they'd stop mass producing the games now.
Fixed.
Wait wait wait wait WAIT... YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED HEROES, SHADOW, OR '06!?
its actually going to be 6 in just under 7 years, which is over doing it a little
Shadow and '06 are like the Cancer that is killing Video games as we know it.
"Oh yay, I went back in time to stop sonic from dying and changed the future without making a time paradox!"
Good as in "I haven't gotten in trouble" good, not like "Cave Story is being made on WiiWare" good. If you know what I mean Which people rarely do.
heroes wasn't bad, it wasn't good either
1Where's Waldo (NES)
2 Spy Kids Game Over 3D(PC) i got it when i was 8 or 9 and hated it
3 Superman Returns (PS2) CONTROLS ARE TERRIFING I COULDNT EVEN GET PAST THE FIRST LEVEL
That's cause a lot of 90's games were made by Capcom, including Duck Tales. Capcom is a great game maker.
Oh, It's not like we're likely going to get Coded anyways
