    Video game stinkers - Those that shouldn't have been ever made

    Since people are having fun with the bad fanfiction thread, it's time for us to do the same with the following topic: Terribly bad videogames!

    There are games that are truly good, those that become legendary and give us enjoyment for all the right reasons (nice gameplay, graphics to die for, incredible music, characters we care about, level designs and whathaveyou). Then there are games that are just plain bad, those that are considered a shame to the industry and ironically, they give us enjoyment for all the wrong reasons (Stinky gameplay, horrible graphics, dubious quality and playtesting, banal and shallow characters, cringe-inducing music and so on). These games are those you wish that your children and their children's children would avoid at all costs. These games can bring ruin to the person that wasted his time playing it only to realize all too late that the games themselves sitnk. Or if it tickles your fancy, these games make you want to laugh for how bad they are.

    You're all free to show your examples of bad, bad games in any way that you wish. You can explain it with your own words, post videos, give us reviews or if you want a good exposition, you can even use videos from The Angry Video Game Nerd. Remember, laugh at these games and the whole world laughs with you!

    Even franchises like Megaman couldn't avoid the stigma of bad games that feel like they should be disowned. Here's Mega Man for the DOS system.

    It's easy to believe in ideals, but it's harder to keep them when things go bad.

    Actually, James Rolfe is doing the AVGN movie revolving around E.T.

    Not really, IIRC that review will be included in the movie, but the movie isn't about E.T

    Frustrating on difficulty and cheap shots, true. It still beats E.T. when it comes to graphics, controls (Which for the most part are pretty good, mind you), good music (Even though it has two or three tracks) and a premise of a known Marvel cosmic hero that didn't deliver its promise well.

    E.T. though, is still epic fail, especially since it operated on the premise of one of the more beloved family flims of all time. That's a bit hard to top.

    Maybe I should have included fake difficulty in this. =/

    Double post here, since this is semi-related to E.T., thanks to Steven Spielberg.

    Speaking of games whose movie premises were not handled well, I give you.... Jaws.

    I genuinely felt ripped off by it. A studio renowned for its quality work, for the time and effort they put into their products, Dragon Age 2 felt like a shoddy attempt at a money grab. I usually strive for 100% completion of Bioware stories but I couldn't even finish this one. The constantly reused maps were sickening, the terrible enemy spawning as well. Sometimes I'd just be standing in place, and archers are suddenly on top of me. Another thing was the male characters I was being friendly to, suddenly trying to put their dicks in my male character's face.

    Yeah, so I couldn't finish the game, felt ripped off but it, and thought it was a mediocre attempt created just for making money.

    Bad game? Maybe. That's a matter of perspective in this case. I am quite saddened by all the things you said. Yes, they are true.

    The flip side to that is that the game did have redeeming qualities. The environments were recycled, tedious and boring but I enjoyed the combat. It felt like they streamlined the pace and combat to something a (excuse the term) console-tard would like. And just to clear my ass, I don't mean console gamers. I mean those people who only play Halo or CoD or those kinds of games. It was designed to be quick(ish) with instant gratification. To a large extent, I found it worked. The counter to this is that they needed a faster pace of challenge to the player. Were the enemies a good way to do this? I dunno. Maybe, maybe not.

    Anyway I'm not going to pick apart your opinion. I just want to defend it by saying that it is not 'a game that should have never been made'.

    Levy is not impressed.

    @Blue

    Personal preference, of course. It's not that I think the game is the worst in existence, it's more that I feel Bioware should not have made something like that given the quality of their past works.

    Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing

    Note that the Youtube video is the patched version, which actually has a moving opponent and has fixed a bug which allowed you to go infinitely fast in reverse. The original game was actually worse....

    Admittedly, the ET game was a bigger flop, and there are probably about 10,000 times as many copies of it in a Californian (or wherever it was) landfill site than there were even made of Big Rigs, but it does at least have gameplay (albeit bad gameplay).

    ET was the straw that broke the camels back and was a large factor in the crash. I'll have to give that one the nod out of sheer impact alone.

    Is it sad that I'm actually eagerly awaiting another ET to come along?
