Worst Game Ever?
- Thread starter coffee33

This WAS a bad game. I had it on my shelf for two years before I tried it. Believe me, if you think a game that is horrible at its release is bad, just try it again two years later when the graphics are even more antiquated and horrible. This thread is going to send me to therapy.Terpfen said:
I remember how excited I was to purchase this game when I first heard of a Star Wars RTS. This is only dwarfed by how excited I was to uninstall it after having to deal with the suffering of playing it for more than an hour. I couldn't believe that a Star Wars game could be so horrible, after all the praise the genre was given, how no one thought a Star Wars game would ever fail. What a shock.NewbieTwo said:
I felt horrible when I played DRIV3R. Our household does not have a lot of money left over for things, but my fiance bought me DRIV3R because I was ogling it in the store. I felt bad to begin with, but when I got home and tried it, I felt even worse. I played it for a few hours to feel I hadn't entirely wasted money, but it joins countless other games on the shelf that haven't been played in months or years.CmaN3 said:

For one Christmas I got Final Fanasty 7, played it. LOVED it, and played it again. Couldn't wait for FF8 to come out because it looked awesome and PSX mag, just started to praise it. So the next Christmas I got Final Fanasty 8, I started to play it for like 4 hours and thought it was boring. Quit playing it and played with something else I had gotten for Christmas. I was really disappointed, and from that day I have never touched that game again. But I had played FF7 again.
I continued to tell myself, "I'm playing it for the storyline... I'm playing it for the storyline..." I enjoyed it moderately, but it was definitely not as good as it was made out to be. Somehow, I have actually ended up with two copies of this game on my shelf. Outpost 2 was moderately better, and I still occasionally play it.Comte said:
I bought Master of Orion 3 the day it was released, along with a friend. We were both very disappointed, but just two months ago, decided to try it again. It isn't actually as horrible as we both remembered it, but it is still no better than Master of Orion 2. In fact, it is quite similar, I found, except with more math and slightly updated graphics. The only real advantage I see is that it uses TCP/IP for networking, not IPX/SPX. No more "Sending Chunks" to the players while starting the game.Kortiz DZ said:

Aww, man! Spy VS Spy! For the Sega Master System II. Ahaha. God-DAMN, I remember that game well. I played it when I was like, 8 or something. Christ. I can't comment on how good it was/wasn't, as I haven't played it for quite some time, but I do remember it kept my attention. There must have been something about it....Boar-Ral said:Speaking of franchise-themed games, how about Avoid the Noid? Or Spy vs. Spy? Both really old four-colour CGA games.

The name "Final Fantasy" was originally a nod to the fact that, had it tanked, Square would have folded. It was a bet-the-company title, and I guess it kinda paid off.

Alex Kid in Miracle World, how unfair was rock paper scissors for a boss fight? I threw my sega controller against the wall and yanked the cartridge out without shutting off the power cause I was sick of it!

Duke Nukem 3D was at least an original game; plus it had a pretty good deathmatch with some interesting weapons, such as laser trip-mines, the freeze gun, and the shrink ray. And if you understood a little more about traditional samurai, you'd also no that for a samurai to act like that would be grounds for ritual suicide according to traditional samurai code of honor. Duke's character was what he was supposed to be. Lo Wang didn't even fit the definition of his very own character.
I played Duke when it was brand new, and at the time, it was pretty groundbreaking. Shadow Warrior came out long after Duke, when far more inventive games had already arrived, another reason why I panned it as a retread. Perhaps you weren't playing games back in 1996; if you had, maybe you'd understand.

Wow.
Sorry I'm not up on seppuku guidelines for fictional video game characters.
You are still joking, right?
You know, I really hated Duke3d and all of the other 3d Realms games that came out using it's engine.
It was Duke3d, Blood, and Shadow Warrior, right? The art, textures, and animation were awful even for the standards of the day, and for the latter two games we'd all already been playing Quake at that point.
I think Duke3d was a boring, plodding lousy "look-what-we-can-do" (in terms of graphics and adult content) FPS with a few cool, albeit halfway-implemented, ideas. The games that came after were rehashes of the same idea.
Also, here's a terrible early CD-ROM game (far worse than Outpost, IMO): The Journeyman Project. Blech!!

So did I. I wasn't dissing Duke, I was dissing Shadow Warrior, and Hikeskool felt my reasons were silly, so I made a comparison and explained. He still thinks they're silly; that's his right.Xephian said:
I have to say Duke was best as a deathmatch game though. Single player wasn't bad, but get eight people together and done LAN party style, it was a lot more fun.

heh I remember playing C&C renegade on my 32MB Nvidia Gforce gfx card and Im like WTF "THIS IS THE BEST GFX MONEY CAN "announced Gforce TI!" ..SHIT"
It would always skip and choke and take like 2 minutes to load a damn map. Multiplayer sucked too!

i usually avoid games with a bad rep, so i havent played any games like superman 64 or the et game. my vote for worst game (in my limited experience with bad games) is final fantasy x-2. i enjoyed final fantasy x... how they managed to make x-2 so annoying is beyond me. one of the few games i have ever had the urge to throw the controller across the room...
*edit*
oh... i forgot driv3r. OH MY GOD. i didn't buy this game, i played it ovfer an argument. i was playing vice city and a friend of mine was like "dude why are you playing that old piece of shit, there are so many better things out". i was like ummm nothing can touch gta, sorry. so he brought up driv3r and let me borrow it. i am SO glad i didn't pay for it. there is no plot, main character was totally forgettable, crappy cars, physics, gameplay, etc etc etc. aiming was annoying and the chase system was beyond horrible. after beating a mission it actually took you out of the game to a MENU and had you manually select the next mission. for something that claims to be a gta clone..
urgh this thread is making me angry

I liked that game too.
Remember the NUKE bomb that was so overly strong it didn't matter where you were you almost always killed your self using it!

(I think) P2 400MHz, 128MB RAM, 4GB hard drive. Yeah i still have it lmao.
How about Terminator 2 for the SNES.
The GFXs were painfull, their was a never ending amount of bad guys to kill, even after you killed every guy in mall level there was always 100 more.
The levels went from hard to boring to stupid hard... and that MIDI sound track drove me insane.
