Title: Worstgames ever :)
Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 11, 2006, 04:01:37 am
On the flipside of the "Your faveourite games thread," I'd like to hear your lchoices for the worst games ever made. Be it for moral reasons, Graphics or sheer awful gameplay..........

PS2-
Robot warlords, What can i say The gameplay is awkward, The damage model is poor, The graphics are plain. For one of the first games to come out for a "fun" console the learning curve was atrocious.........

X-Box-
Fight club, Fight Club Fight Club !!

Poor combat dynamic, Awful music and Ai that a spoon could beat.......

PC- Hard hard choice............ I'm no fan of things like Baldurs gate but thats no reason to slate it.
So i'm going for Re-loaded, It was technically good for its time in that it used 3D but it was just smash TV in essence.....

Isn't Quest64 usually cited as the worst game ever?

Either way I would nominate Evolva on the PC for the worst game ever created. It's beyond terrible, it's downright painful.

I actually liked Quest64...damaged my N64 playing it because I didn't have a memory card, so I left the 64 running for a few days at one time. It rebelled, overheated, and it's never quite worked right since. Never did finish the game either.

As for the worst game ever, you know, down in your soul, that there can be only one worthy of the title.

Battlecruiser Millenium

Deus Ex: Invisible war gets my vote for worst ever.
Really? Most of the time I've heard people talk about it it's usually "Yeah it's really watered down for console gamers, and not a patch on Deus Ex but it's a fun little game."
Although admittedly my love for Deus Ex has led me not to try Invisible War because I would rather not be reallyyy disapporinted.

:wtf: You must not have played many games then? DX:IW was a decent game, hampered by its console roots. Still, the original DX beats it all the way, but sometimes IW's simplicity over the original is welcome change of pace.

i was talking from a performance perspective, it was also shallow, and all Four (?) of the endings left a fair amount to be desired.
the RPG system used from the last DX was gutted, to be honest, IW was a dissappointment

Worst Console game i've played is Bruce Lee: quest of the Dragon, (not nearly as cool as it sounds)

Perfect Dark zero, as pretty as it looks, amounts to pretty much a glorified tech demo, nothing like its N64 predacessor.

as for not playing many games, well.. whaddya want to hear?.. that the last game i've played was "ken's labyrinth" or something? or that i've just finished Dark Star One, and that it's story is rather nice, it doesn't compared to the thumpin' action found in Freespace.
Or that i'm contemplating playing the Entire KOTOR series again, with a bit of Far Cry, or perhaps a spot of Chris Sawyer's locomotion, that is if i can FIND it under the piles of games i've got lurking around here, full towers, and ****e like that.  :p ;)

Post by: CP5670 on September 11, 2006, 09:57:36 am
I haven't played many games that I would truly call bad. Half Life 2 is the only candidate in recent memory, although even that had a few redeeming points. I usually get a demo and if I don't like it, I stop playing in a few minutes and forget about the game. Maybe Mac vs IBM, a Mac "game" from 1990 or something that was on a shareware games CD I had (no sound, B&W graphics, and the game lasted about three seconds).

DX Invisible War was actually pretty good compared to many other games. It's only in comparison to the first one that it looks really bad (would easily get my vote for the most disappointing game ever).

'E.T. - The Extra Terrestrial' - Least said the better, let's just say they ended up destroying nearly 1 million unsold cartridges.
'Pirates of the Caribbean' - Originally named somethng else and then renamed and re-released after the movie for more craptacular cash. Odd really since it was by Bethseda.
'Unreal 2' - WTF Inc.

I always thought that game was underrated. The story sucked, but the map design was generally top notch and the weapons had a lot of variety to them. I found it quite satisfying to just play through the levels and ignore the story. I guess it had almost nothing to do with the first game though.

I don't understand how people look at a game that by itself is an excellent game, but because it isn't exactly like its predecessor it's automatically the "worst game ever."   :rolleyes:

People did that with Halo 2 and now The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and whatever else.

Personally, Battlecruiser Millenium, ANY Battlecruiser game or whatever that dude, Derek or something, calls his game series can qualify as the worst ever.  I bought it and couldn't play it for more than five minutes. 

Hey, did you guys hear about that guy trying to buy the rights to Freespace and making FS3?  What did you think of that?  I heard there was a giant backlash against him from the FS community when he announced his "interest" in acquiring the Freespace franchise.  Was that community mentioned this one?

Ye shall not speak the heathen words. Tis not allowed here (not really, but usually a big flamewar follows).

My worst game ever (that I did not play): Big Rigs. This game is so bad people bought it just to check out how atrocious it is. In the end it actually sold more than Nexus: The Jupiter Incident. Sad.

My worst game was MOO3  When I heard a new MOO came out, I was full of happiness, until I installed and played it. This was just an incredible evil trick on players. I have to admit that I haven't get to much into the detail of this game, because as soon as I had the first battle and saw graphics that was even worse than on an old C64 (anybody still know this ? :) ) I thought that does it :(  The CD-Rom is currently scaring away birds in my parent vegetable garden.

Battlecruiser Millenium

You mean that one game made by DEREK SMART DEREK SMART DEREK SMART DEREK SMART? (Just to help Dr. Smart when he Googles his name :p )

In terms of worst game ever, the worst I've ever played would be either Iron Fist (the alternate history WWI game, interesting premise and fascinating background, but absolutely sucky in terms of balance and design) or Fallen Haven. It had a terrific background and I absolutely loved basically playing a Risk-inspired game that actually let me control the action in the battle, but the gameplay wasn't terrific.

 :eek2:

I watched the video (via YouTube...). Less said the better about the game, obviously. I was almost hyperventilating at the part where the guy just left his Big Rig bouncing happily in the vacuum.

By the way, the publisher behind that atrocity also seems to qualify quite well in the contest of worst web sites ever:

http://www.stellarstone.com/ (http://www.stellarstone.com/)

Nothing working there either. Except lo behold; on Internet Exploder the pages magically work "normally"... On other browsers that actually know what to do with malformed web code, no luck. You have to guess the address; the navigation bar just sits there in both Opera 9 and FF1.502. Even I could do more functional web page, and I could easily make it better in appearance also.

I know this has already been covered, but this is a quote from the Stellar Stone site:

Quote
ADVANTAGE
The highest technical caliber of Stellar Stone developers coupled with low offshore Russia-based engineering costs gives us sustainable competitive edge to employ more and higher quality engineers than a typical US company can afford, staff up projects faster, put more developers on a project for a better gameplay value and graphics visuals. For our customers that transfers into richier product feature set at the same price point.

If "high quality" means the game doesn't work, then what's their idea of low quality?

Title: Re: Worstgames ever :)
Post by: Shade on September 17, 2006, 05:14:43 pm
Oh, they did. Or rather, someone else did, which was the real cause of the suckage of that game - The people behind SC1&2 didn't make SC3. Same thing that happened to the EoB series... it's a sad way to end it.

[Edit] On the topic of Star Control, anyone who loved SC2 as much as I did should check out The Ur-Quan Masters (http://sc2.sourceforge.net/). It's an open-source, cross-platform, and in my experience very stable version of SC2, identical in every way to the original except it runs on modern operating systems. In short, it rocks. Hasn't left my hard drive since I found out about it :)

You'd better believe that they did (they meaning the people who made this one, as they are different from the ones who made the first and second). Here is the best review I've found for it.

http://www.abandonia.com/games/822/download/StarControl3.htm

Overall, it was a terrible game, even when it is standing alone. Compared to its predecessor, it looks even worse.

Every single game that my wife has bought me!!!

Seriously, she doesn't have a clue! Fists of Rage, a terrible budget 2d beat-em-up is an example. Then she went and bought me a WWI era flight sim which sucked big time. I know I should be grateful as these were gifts, but honestly! I just smiled sweetly, played them a little once and then put them at the bottom on my pile!  ::)

Crusaders of Might and Magic - Mostly running around, bland environments, texture errors (i.e. getting one of those textures that kind of "record" where you look. i can't explain it), always choppy gameplay even on a Pentium 4.

Fighter Squadron (WW2 era sim) - No tutorials, extremely long missions, I had to go ONLINE to find out how to use my bombs... basically all it was good for was flying around aimlessly. Although for some reasons the wings kept flying off of one of the bombers for no apparent reason. =/

Bang! Gunship Elite - Bad controls, some of the enemy capital ships looked like SD Demon ripoffs, extremely hard missions even on Easy... etc.

The Harry Potter games - Don't get me started. (plus i was like 10 when i bought the first one. :nervous: )

What space sim were bein' it where ye could fly th' Dralthi look-a-like ship an' have th' option t' switch sides?

Academy, Or Armada ?

Actually it was Star Crusader (a few messages up).  The one fighter (if you google the picture) looks a bit like a wc1 dralthi.

What a relief. Red Baron is really a spectacularly good game. :nod:

You know, I still sometimes play Red Baron. I've got it working perfectly on Win XP, including use of USB joystick, Sound BLaster sound and VGA Graphics. VDMSound rocks.

Another oldie I sometimes play is obviously GP2. Fine game even compared to newer formula 1 games IMO. 8)

Anyone remember Jail Break? The game where you played a cop walking down the street shooting convicts. Featuring bullets that moved so quickly you didn't have a chance in hell of dodging any of them. Or how about Pit Fighter? The terrible but extremely funny Fight Club style fighting game with difitised graphics?

Alien Triology on PS. Where the bullets travelled so slowly you could fire a few off, run down the corridor, turn round and be hit by said shots. It was more fun killing yourself, allbeit for a few minutes, than playing through the game.

I loved modding doom... it was soo easy making maps for it.  I had converted wolf3d to it, then converted heretic to hexen.

I had an old Red Dwarf sound mod that replaced the sounds of the game with sounds from the series.  Incredibly funny.  I tried hacking together an Adam Sandler sound mod in the same manner. I think it was the second album, the one with the goat. God that was too long ago.

Anyways, I never really liked any lithtech game until NOLF1.  Even Shogo, it just felt really wierd, and out of place.  That, and Shogo still pisses me off to this day with it's god-awful audio system. 

I am not a fan of the Warcraft series either.  *booo! hiss!*

I don't have many bad games, but the 2 worst are probably Halo (morso by being cursed by its own reputation and a really ****ty conversion) and Red Faction.

Speaking of Doom mods, has anyone played Chex Quest? To this day, I think that TC has the most original premise I've ever seen in a computer game. :D

I used to own it back in the day. That game has been the only reason for me to buy that brand of cereal. Now Chex Mix, on the other hand, is a different story. I can't get enough of that stuff.

Red Faction is really that bad?

If it was a teddy bear, it'd be one which exploded into a cloud of baby-seeking shrapnel as soon as it was taken out the box

If it was a plane, it'd be made of tinfoil and have 'infidel airlines' painted on the side, 'death to Allah' on the base, and only fly over the Middle East

If it was a car, it'd have square wheels, barbed wire seatbelts, a shotgun instead of an airbag and an engine fuelled by the eternal screans of the souls of the damned.

If it was a comedian, it'd be Jimmy Carr.

Oh, come on. I think you're being rather harsh. It isn't that bad. It's just an average shooter with a gimmick.
