I just wonder, do you have crappy games in your games collections? [if you are collecting]. If you do, which ones? Do you like a collection of only high scores games [giving by websites] or you got also the crappy ones to make your collection bigger?
Yeah I have a few stinkers in my collection that I never play. Ford Racing 3, Motocross Mania 3, True Crime: Streets of L.A., Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six on GBC, and maybe a few others.
I only buy games that I know I will want to play more then once. I only buy a game new if it has online multiplayer that I want to play otherwise I wait till it goes down in price.
I own 1,745 games at the moment so, yeah I have a good bit of crappy games too. I actually likes some games the review sites / magazines rate lowly and never go by reviews anyway.
well i have more games in my collection that critics didn't like but i loved like billy hatcher and the giant egg. but i could honestly say i didn't have any games that i personally thought stunk until i purchased fairytale fights......worst game i ever bought.
I like to keep my game collection consisting of mainly decent games, so my game shelf has stuff like Dead Space, Fallout 3, Gears, Alan Wake etc, but the games listed above are located in various random places around my room.
Beowulf. It came with my 360, and it's terrible. I always do a bit of research on my games before I buy them, so I don't often end up with crappy ones. :D
I thankfully don't have too many bad games this generation... but that's a combination of me buying new games more carefully and also being a cheap bastard. looking through the ol PS2 collection though, and there's some grim stuff there. to name a few, both True Crime games, Enter The Matrix, Backyard Wrestling... Christ, what was I thinking?
Finaly someone who think like me! Borderlands crappy !
There are quite a few people who agree that Borderlands is lame. Me included. I don't have it in my collection anymore because I sold it. That said, to the TC's question, I have a lot of games that other people might think are terrible. If I still have it in my collection then it means I found something to like about it. Otherwise it gets the Borderlands treatment.
Out of my PS3 collection I made a very dumb decsion when I bought Soldier of Fortune: Payback but back to the main question ya I've bought some bad games and have ended up regreting the decsion to buy them in the first place.

I have a few stinkers. RE4, Merchants of Brooklyn, Conflict: Denied Ops to neme a few. I am not going for score or size. If I see a game I think will be decent I will give it a try.
I buy only the games I really want. This precludes buying a game from just any developer and lately, I have gotten even pickier about what games I buy.
I only have games Ilike in my collection. I don't understand why you would keep a collection of games you don't like
BuryMe
Two reasons come to mind: either you can't sell them to anyone or you don't sell games. if no one wants them or you don't part with games then sometimes you get stuck with a bad decision.

Yeah I mean why would I sell the three or four crappy games I have for a dollar or two each? It's not like I'm gonna just throw them in the trash.

That's my thoughts to. Also the fact most of my games are on PC make the effort needed to sell my games more than that few bucks is worth.
Sad too human couldve been such a good game..The interface screwed things up..Like what where they thinking
Superman returns wasnt a bad idea just a bad..If they put some decent mobs in there like bosses an others..It couldve been a decent game.They screwed the pooch on that one..
Yes, I do. Mostly from the days when I didn't really care about reviews, and just bought random games. I have plenty of bad PS2 games lying around. Saying that, I do have a few bad ones on my current generation stuff to do -- Spiderman 3, anyone?
I only buy games that scored 80% or higher on Metracritic and GameRankings. I don't have the time to play lesser games and I don't wish to spend the money on them either.
I've got a few: -Damnation, back in that time I only heard once about Borderlands and ended up thinking Damnation was it, it turned out to the worst game I have ever played. -Special forces - Fire for effect, I played the game to death when I was a kid, but now I can't believe I actually enjoyed the game, strange... -Overlord II, I loved the first game, but I just couldn't bother to finish the new one, its just not right for me.

I look at the reviews of games I get before making an actual purchase. However, it they are not to my liking, then I a will sell them :)
I try to get only good games but yes, I do have some cr*COUGH COUGH COUGH* appy games. I will be reviewing them so just head on over to my page and find out what I hate as well.
The problem with bad games in your collection is that it always seems like a waste of effort to get rid of them. I have a few games I got as gifts forever ago, and they're worth like $1 - $2 max by now. For that price, why bother going through the hassle of trying to find some buyer? The other problem, I guess, is old sports games, which no one wants to buy ever (except the occasional gem which people obsess over for whatever reason).
I do alot of research on every game I think about buying, so no, not really.
The only exception to that rule is if the game belongs to a series that I love so much as to not care what score it gets--Bioshock, SCEA's Team Ico, and Hitman come to mind.
First one that springs to mind is Sega Rally (or "Sega Rally Revo" elsewhere).
It was £1, so I thought 'why not?'.
Not all that impressed by Prototype either.
broken_bass_bin
I don't really understand why Prototype got such bad reviews and why people don't like it. I loved that game.... There wasn't anything really bad about it. The graphics and story might not not have been good as most games should be today but it was an enjoyable game at best. People are too harsh. God forbid a games graphics aren't met by todays standards... I guess it's gotta look "HD" to be a good game. It's really sad when people in general go by Graphics and Reviews.
