top three worst games ever!
 

What are your top three hated games ever and why?

At the top has to be Paperbay for nintendo (early 90's). I hate that game. Riding around on a bike throwing papers is just plan stupid. Then they put bart simpson on it and changed the name of the game to the simpsons.

Next has to be Duke Nucken II. why... well i lost a very good looking girl over that game. (can't wait untill Duke Nuken III though)

Finally the worst game ever Spider Man for play station 2. It was a great movie, but come on that game sucks.

The 3 worst games in the world are the other 3 games (besides Halo) for X-box:D

WWE Crush Hour
Simpsons Skateboarding
Jager Nights

those 3 pretty recent pieaces of crap on the market. I mean there has to be a reason a new release is only $20

Aahgaahdfkas

I would really like to hear you say these words. Please record some WAV's, encode them to MP3, and upload them to me please. Thanks!

Well there's this game called "Rascal", it's utterly stupid! Worse than throwing news-papers, you shoot little bubbles at your enemies. And ya know what your power weapon is? RED BUBBLES!


It sucks enough to fill 1,2, and 3!

Kung Fu (NES), i always hated this game
The Dragon Ball RPG for GBA
Bible Adventures (NES)

Worst. Game. Ever
 

To be fair, I'm going to just do recent PC games, considering I've been gaming for umpteen years.

Number one: Pool of Radiance Ruins of Myth Dranor

what horrible flotsom. The only game I've straight up sold on ebay the day I got it.


Number two: Impossible Creatures

Such a great concept, and I loved creating critters... but the game itself is such crap.


Number Three: Morrowind

Okay, okay. I'm sorry. This game sucks. Period. I know thousands of billions of people loved it, but come on. It has gorgeous backgrouns, but character designs that make me want to vomit. The interface is absolute crap, conversations are an exercise in futility, combat is absolutely horrid... ugh.. ugh... It's just... ugh.

Re: Re: top three worst games ever!
 

*snicker*

There are so many horrible games that I've played, that I can't really just pick three out as the worst. Anarchy Online, EverQuest, and DaoC were probably the largests wastes of money for me though.

ET on the atari. in the early 80s, if you had a video game and even the three-four years olds wanted it to die, it HAD to be bad.

superman on the n64..... the damned NES could make a better game.

there are too many piece of crap titles to count.......

i am gonna ponder this awhile and get back to ya. i take gaming seriously....

lol, it was 3 am when i wrote that.

ok here are three more:

teen age ninja turtles all of them!!!!!!!
almost all of sega genis games!!!! they just sucked
summonor of the play station 2!!!! there was more stupid movies than game time

god, you people are missing the TRUE shit.

shaq fu
rise of the robots
phantom fighter

i hear shaq fu that game was wrorrid


but any way
dakatania N64 i read someware taht it was reated the worst game of the year 2001
seshumi (SP)2 great concept but frankly i dont want to accualy work in a game to make enuff money to stay in a hotel
boogerman for the genisses funny concetp increddibly to hard tho

I'd go recent too, but ImDrFreak hit the nail right on the head. Impossible Creatures was the most disappointing game ever, and Ruins of Myth Drannor...oof. Way to skullfuck a franchise, guys. Never played Morrowind, myself, but that was just because my best friend was really into Daggerfall(the original in the series) and it was the buggiest game ever created. Speaking of which, you all have missed the worst PC game in history...Battlecruiser3000! The various reviews of this game are some of the funniest reading around.

Sheep for the PS 1 was a bad version of lemmings...

Can't think of others really. I just shut them out...

1) Wu-tang taste the pain
2) C&C:Tiberian Sun (for being shitty and a huge disappointment)
And who could forget...
Daikatana

Dyke-katana was the worst game of all.

you gotta be kidding me, tmnt rocked!

Yea I still remember a code for TMNT

BA BA UP DOWN BA LFT RIGHT selct start

Rise of the robots has got to be the worst fighting game ever.

u guys r gonna hate me for this, but here s my list

Diablo 2 --- what a stupid game for intillectual challenged simpltons. all u ever do in this game is hack ur enemy to death. There s no stratgy, not character development (choosing one skill each time u level up does not count as character development) and the game s horroubly unbalanced, who the hell and beat a high leveled amazon.

Neverwinter Night --- Same as diablo with slightly more tactics. Horrouble graphics and highly repetive. I still cant figer out why i beat the single player campain in my summer break.

Domination --- most of u probly never heard of this game. It a C&C clone with a horrouble resource model. The "men" regenerate too damn slow and a tank requirs 25 of these things.

Spider-Man & the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge- I bought this one before renting it, on character appeal. It was so not what I was hoping for.

Shaq-Fu - Roger that. The special moves usually didn't work, and the characters were tiny. Plus, I think there were only seven to choose from, and you could only be Shaq in one player mode.

Superman 64- Roger that again. When I first played this, I'd already heard all the bad reviews. Still, I went into it with an open mind, and when I switched it on, I said, "These graphics are fairly good- everyone must be overreacting." And I pressed forward on the stick to make him fly, and instead he leaned over and looked at the ground, and I said, "Ohhhh. That's why." It only went downhill from there.

And TMNT games rule! 'Cept maybe the first one on NES...

In no order:

Primal Rage - SNES
Friday the 13th - NES
Final Fantasy X - PS2

(hides behind the good ol' flame-proof wall for the FFX opinion)

FFX was too boring for me too.

Dunno if they're the worst games I've played but Enter the Matrix, MGS2 and X2:Wolverine's Revenge sucked monkey balls through a straw.

Ill say that ff8 was pretty terrible. I mean espically because ff7 owned so much.

And yes primal rage...ouch

Ok I don't care if you diss Summoner, but when you diss TNMT and Sega YOU DESERVE A BEATING!!!!!!!!! SEGA IS GOD!!!!!!!!!!


*lunges at 3leggedfrog with a knife*

For The Xbox:
Max Payne (that dream sequence where you follow the little red line: I actually took the game from the machine and started stomping on it in all of my fervorish glee)
Project Gotham Racing: Realistic racing? Sure. You just keep on thinking that
Kabuki Warriors. A game without a single redeemable point. Not one

I only give Enter the Matrix credit for the "kung-fu mode" fighting hack.

Shaq-Fu
Simpson's Skateboarding
Contra on GBA (still love Contra 3)

city connection (nes)
any sega genesis game

lol i hated sega at the time and still do today.

*jumps to the side hitting terresque on the head with tnmt card hoping both would break*

5 Words...A Boy and His Blob

Anyone remember that Where's Mario game for SNES? Stupidest game ever

.
 

MadDog Mgee, or Mgrew or something liek that. Where its a wild west video and you shoot the bad guys.

hoverstrike for atari jaguar..

anyone remember moonraker by atari. it was a game were one just went across the screen jumping over holes on the moon and advoiding bombs by the aliens. man did that get old fast.

WTF!!?

Max Payne is like one of the greatest games ever. ok, so i havn't played it one xbox but it's still the same game as on the pc right? i'll agree that the dream sequences do get annoying but that's only a tiny part of the game and the rest of it is FANTASTIC!

Some of these old games sucked but I still played them when they were on Sega Channel, so I cant complain.

Yeah for sure Pool of Radiance sucked and Morrowind, sold those back soon after I bought them. So much hope for the PC RPG market all gone.

I also hated Neverwinter Nights, I was hopeing this would be a great game looking forward to it for years..sold it back

Ultima 9, did anyone like this?
Did anyone have a computer that could play this at the time? First and last time I preorder from EB

Now I just play console RPGs, and MMORPGs for computer, doubt I'll ever

Azurik was terrible. xbox
Spawn: In the Demon's Hand DC
and
7th Saga SNES

Gahh... and these were the first 3 that came to mind..... My list would be huge.

hey got a new one

Risk for the playstation.

how can you hate sega games?
the genesis ruled

man, FFX was great! well i loved it at least being a fan of the FF series. Cant say what the worst three games are, about 100 come to mind when i think about it. Sega rules also. Mutant League football, Phantasy Star series, Toe Jam and Earl?? Great games

If you're implying that X-Box only has 4 good games, I don't know what you're smoking...

Michael Jordan: Chaos in the Windy City, Crappy side scroller, using basketballs as weapons. Powering them up by dunking the ball or somethign like that.

Superman 64, I still rember the comerical claiming "YOU. . . ARE. . . SUPERMAN!" pfft, when was the last time Superman had to fly through a bunch of rings.

Sonic 3D Blast, that set camera 3 quarters view was awful for a sonic game.

1. Myst
2. Morrowind
3. Midnight Club 2

I kinda take pride in the fact that the 3 games I hated most are almost universally loved.

Star Wars Galaxies started to be good, but was over hyped and over bugged.

Next i have to say City of Heroes, again cool at first, but boring doing the same crap over and over.

Last I haev to say Crash Bandacoot. Great for little kids, but it came free when you bought the system and for those of that were broke at that point, it was all you had!

C&C:Tiberian Sun just for sucking so much
C&C: Generals for stopping the promise new beginnings of Red Alert 2
FF7 boring...

duck hunt, superman 64 & highheat baseball 2001

E.T. for the atari

Superman 64 for the n64

and aquaman for the xbox,

These are the 3 WORSE games ever produced.

War Gods
StarCraft for N64 (what the HELL were they thinkinh!?!?)
Rogue Squadron 3... Robotron with starwars characters

any wrestling game with combos instead of grapling, Stock Market Mania(not sure if that was the title) for NES, Bubble Ghost for the game boy

Seriously... where are Michael Jackson's Moonwalker, Total Recall, and Die Hard in these lists? Or maybe the Avoid the Noid game? How about the game with the old Spot mascot from 7-Up?

NWN?? FFX? Max Payne? WTF! You folks clearly need to play more crappy games from the late 80's/early 90's.

I think he's implying that there aren't even 4 good games on the X-Box.

Cool Spot :D

I dont believe someone said C&C Generals, it beats red alert 2 into the ground. I must've played it every day since it was released.

Mall Tycoon for the PC :cool:
ATV Mudracer, you'll be sickened that this game was released in 2004.
aaaaand... erm... I think it'll have to be Rise of the Robots for all the hype it got, only to be the lamest fighter ever.

"At the top has to be Paperbay for nintendo (early 90's"


What?! Paperboy kicks ass. Death, tornadoes, women with rolling pins, car wrecks, and a stunt course at the end. Classic.


"almost all of sega genis games!!!! they just sucked"

wow, someone has obviously never played Phantasy Star or Shining Force

Bout time someone recognized the Phantasy Star and Shining Force series. How about Warsong, great game for genesis.

Rise of the robots - I had totally forgot about that. One of my friends brought it and he was so pissed off at wasting so much money.
Unreal 2 - so disappointing considering the first one was brilliant
John Deere: American Farmer - never played this so a bit hypocritical but with a name like that it has got to suck !

It does. Don't worry, I didn't buy it :|

Yeah, my vote is for all the full motion video games like that. There was a slew of them that came out all at once. Except the Tex Murphy detective ones. Under a Killing Moon rocked.

The worst games definitely came from the sega cd. Double Switch, that football classic(49ers and cowboys), Sewer shark, Night trap. All seemed interesting at first, but damn were they bad. Third World War was great, but I can only recall 2-3 even decent games for that system.

Beyond the Beyond for the Playstation was bad too! Every two steps, it was another random battle.

This is tough, as there was lots of crap for mega popular systems like Atari 2600 and C-64. ET, Swordquest: Earthworld, and Bomber Attack (a little known game by Avalon Hill for the C-64) are some of the worst ones I remember off the top of my head.

And I agree, the movie games on the Sega CD were total crap. Loadstar: legend of Tully something or other was one of the worst. Sewer Shark, Ground Zero Texas and those awful make your own video atrocities are up there too. Some of those turds can't even be considered games.

E.T.! http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/egm/01b.gif

Worst games are ET for atari and anything on the atari jaguar. And I don't understand all the Morrowwind hate. That is probably one of the BEST comp/x-box games ever. I can understand not enjoying it, or even liking it, but only people with 5 second attention spans would consider it one of the worst ever.

Another vote for ET here. Population: Tire is more entertaining ;)

my other two are Police Quest: SWAT and The Sims. The first was a horrible mishmash of crap that had almost no plot. The second is just the electronic version of playing with dolls ;)

2 pages worth of post and nobody has mentioned.....(cue the drum rolls)

-Dynamite Cop (dreamcast)
-Crazy Taxi

I dunno about top 3, but state of emergency was pretty damn bad. I was looking forward to that game too, which makes it even worse.

crossova: Crazy Taxi was apparently bad for the 'Cube and PC, but for the DC it was incredible, and it was solid for the PS2.

Superman 64

Mummy Returns

Gunship

Crazy Taxi!? no no no. . . you sir are the one that is. . . wait for it. . . Crazy! Muhaha. :p

this guy talking about duke nuken forever? ahhahaha..I guessed in may 03 it was a laugh but now it's gotten ridiculous

The three worst
 

Mine would have to be...

Return Fire 2: The origional Return Fire was awesome. I played that for 20 hours straight with my brother. Return Fire 2 they changed to much stuff, and they turned it into a 3d game. Ran very bad on even the latest hardware.

Independence war 2: pretty much the same thing as return fire 2.

Everquest: Because it ruined my life.

thank god someone added in shaq fu.

my top (or bottom) three include E.T. for Atari, Corridor 7 and Solstice of NES.

Shaq fu is incredibly bad wow
definetly have to add "Xtreme Paintball" for the PC

:eek: What?!?

Daikatana
Any Ultima after 6.
Wolverine's Revenge
Splinter Cell (If I shoot you in the face six times, I expect you to die.)
Redneck Rampage

little bit back
gt 64 nintendo 64
tombraider .?. well the last couple don't know the last one's title they shoud have stopped after the first that one ruled well the second was quite cool too
guess you never heard of this one "" floating runner "" playstation
the guy at the store said hey man this is a mario killer man i was so excited couldn't wait to get it in the playstation back than ...
man i was so disappointed this was the worst game i played in my entire life ...

freddy

1. Shaq Fu
2. Shaq Fu
3. Shaq Fu

Any movie license for the NES.
Total Recall comes to mind.
Arnie + video games = usually crap.

Oh yeah, ET for the Atari 2600...apparently it was so bad they dug a big hole in New Mexico or somewhere and buried a while lot of the carts. I've never played it though, I'll have to get the ROM one day :) Any here who mentioned it actually play much of it?

As the title is "top three worst games ever" and not "top three games I just bought and quickly hated", I would have to agree with several posters and add 1 new one...

1) E.T.
2) Superman 64
3) Tresspasser (PC) <---- No one has mentioned this?!?!


Tresspasser was an overly-hyped game set in Jurrasic Park made around 1998. It touted the use of physics as a integral part of its gameplay (a possible first) with realistic dinosaur behaviors modeled (hunting, resting, etc).

It had two hollywood actors handling the voice work (also a relatively new idea at the time) Richard Attenborough & Minnie Driver.

The game essentially boiled down to you spending tens of minutes trying to stack small crates with a wacked out arm that moved in impossible ways. After stacking crates you could then jump up to a new area or similar sillyness. Oh and the dinosaurs were simply terrible.



Here's a PREVIEW!

The guys at Old Man Murrray knew their stuff...

http://www.oldmanmurray.com/longreviews/726.html



If you have a gamasutra login try reading this postmortem of the game by the designers. I haven't read this in years so I'm not sure if they still have it.

http://www.gamasutra.com/features/19...spasser_01.htm



A demo if you are a user of Fileplanet? Sweet lord that is just not right.

http://www.fileplanet.com/files/10000/11067.shtml

I had it for the DC...besides being inudated with placement ads from KFC, Levis, and a whole array of companies. the game had zero replay value. i lost interest in it in one week.

so what are your top three of the worst games ever.

im glad some1 mentioned shaq fu...what about the michael jordan game when he had these basketballs of fire/ice.


FF7 boring???? blasphemy (sp?)....i spent over 90hrs on it and still never beat it (damn u sephiroth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

I'm really dating myself here, but:

1) As mentioned by others here, "ET" for the Atari 2600. This is the undisputed grandfather of high-dollar licensing gone horribly awry. I think I just took mine apart with a hammer to test my theory that there was actual, bonafide shit inside the casing.

2) "Wall Street Kid" for the NES. This bottom feeder was basically a text-based "simulation" of being a stock broker. The real kicker is that your goal is to make a lot of money so you can buy things for your girlfriend and impress her father. Everyhing about this game is just wrong.

3) "Technocop" for the Sega Genesis. I could go on and on about this horrible piece of crap, but it's claim to fame is that it was the first console game to ever warrant a parental warning. The issue that parents had was that when you shot a bad guy, he basically disintegrated but did not disappear. Instead, he collapsed into a big red splotch on the floor but the head stayed intact. I am ashamed to this day that I ever owned this bucket o' chum.

I wonder what those parents think of GTA3 or Leisure Suit Larry?

Sure ive played my fair share of crappy games but Only 1 game can make me forget about them and Stand on top SHAQ FU IS THE WORST GAME THAT WAS EVER MADE!!!!

everyone is saying Shaq Fu....why would you even play it to begin with?

Wow, dude. When you struggle against Sephiroth, Knights of the Round is your friend.

Blasphemy, Ultima 7 kicks every other Ultima's ass. Ultima 8/9/Underworld are terrible, or so I've heard, but
definitely NOT 7.

Bad Games:
---------------
Cybernoid, NES. <-- Probably a very obscure game no one ever heard of, but it's the one crappy NES game
my Dad ever bought on a whim.

Super Conflict, SNES <-- Basically a strategy military board game with Hex Map and all converted to video game.

Final Fantasy 2, NES <-- Japanese version, not the one with Kain/Rosa/Galuf, etc... After Final Fantasy 1,
they basically keep the same character set, same menus, same battle system, and crap it up big time.
In every Final Fantasy game, you can always tell when you're going to move into a part of the map with
harder enemies (which aren't all that much tougher,) well, not on FF2, and the guys are tough as ass when
you go into another area on the world map. Although, I am going to get the ROM again and see if it gets
better.

Jeez, some of you people don't have the slightest clue to what a bad game is. Morrowind? Diablo 2? NWN? Sure, you may not like them as much as other people, but they certainly aren't the worst games ever made. Paintbrawl, Skydive!, and Rodeo are a million times worse than those games. don't rate a game that was dissapointing as the worst one ever. That's like saying I like Halo better than Half-life, therefor Halflife is a crappy game. Sorry about this rant, but for the most part, these lists are bullshiat. I agree with those saying Superman 64 was bad. what were they thinking?

3 worst games ever? Hell, I can name three games all in the same series that make me want to projectile vomit.

FFXI. 2 hours to install, 3 hours to patch, then my friends tell me they can't afford a "world pass" so I'll have to play on a different server from ALL OF MY FRIENDS (launch day). 4 hours to uninstall, ten seconds to snap the Play CD in half.

FFX-2. Yuna's Slumber Party, Barbie Fantasy, whatever you want to call it. Change jobs by changing your outfit! This game was created for that overweight guy who wears Sailor Moon costumes to anime conventions. You all know the one.

FF8. Otherwise known as "rubber band combat," where you'd get into a fight with a monster, see that it has a spell you don't know, and rubber band the controller down to Draw 99 times. FF8 was a great game to have on in the background when you're playing a real game. "Oops I'm full, slash slash next combat, tape that sucker down again and afk."

Funny story, i actually really liked Bible Adventures... and this is coming from a Jew, of course i was like 4 or 5 years old when i started to play it, meh who knows
