Worst game of 2010 in your opinion?

What do you think was the worst game in 2010?
Please only pick a game that you have played already yourself and not just what reviews say.

For me its no doubt Gothic4, I tried so hard to enjoy it but give it a chance, but it really felt like a chore to play (as for consoles Madden 11 no doubt).

Its like they took all the best things from Gothic series and threw them out the door and added a bunch of garbage.

So gamespot, what does the pc section think was this years worst game?

I would have to say SF4. I know it was released last year but i got it this year. All the videos made it look great, but i got it and hated it and doubt ill play it again.

My most disliked game was Mass Effect 2. Worst was Evil Days : Pound of Ground http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VZygoAp8O0 The horror...GeneralShowzer

Well...It was a game with ...minimal effort.

There was no effort in the graphical department. There were many games that tried so hard to look good, Mass Effect 2 was just a mess of ugly textures.

It gimped everything down from the predecessor, the environments are small and tight, there wasn't even a main storyline.

I mean you do party character personal quests in every Bioware game. Where were the main quests? I also didn't like that it was built like a TPS.

*Shooting Stages* were always separated from the *Non shooting stages*

For example in ME, the cidatel was a huge place with traders, NPC's, quests, encounters, you could start a fight there, and it spread across the streets.

Here everything was separated by a loading screen. You were transported to a linear corridor, with lots of crates stacked up and the only way forward is to kill everything.

And then you get a fixed number of experience and rewards, like many TPS do. No looting.

And no game-play variety.

No trading, no stealth mechanics, no different approach to things...

Only two paths to choose from, even marked on for you red/blue.

The game also rewards playing black or white, with the paragon/regenerade points. You are locked out from dialogue options unless you play black or white.

I don't know...Is this really the game many critics awarded a 10/10 and has a 96 on metacritic.

If all you need to get a 10/10 game is some flashy cinematics and some talking, then why did Obsidian bother to create what they did in New Vegas? :o

I just didn't like it all that much. It wasn't horrible, but it was the worst imo that i played. but then i usually don't play many games that don't get postive reviews and have postive feedback from the community.

Black Ops

I don't really care about your other points (some I even agree with) but that right there is just damn insulting...Mass Effect 2 is a VERY pretty game and the graphic artist/designers/ect clearly put tremendous effort into making it that way. I really don't have a problem with you disliking ME2 (I just kinda like it myself)...but don't be such a total **** where you can't even give credit where it's due.

Anyways for me it's probably Elemental...not because it's a bad game but because it was literally and utterly broken for me on release. Really the first game in YEARS that has ran so poorly. The game is shaping up now...but seeing as how just about every other game I purchased this year was awesome, it has to get this dubious honor :P

Dude the texture work in Mass Effect 2 sucked! Nothing looked impressive. The art-style might have been good, but the graphics were sub-par.

You want to see a good looking game on the Unreal Engine, check out Batman AA or Enslaved or Gears.

Even the original Mass Effect looked tons better.

When i see this all I'm reading is "Minimal Effort"

I've played both, and Mass Effect 2 is still a good looking game. Whatever, keep your delusions if it makes you feel better...I mean Mafia is a more popular game too right?Renevent42

It's not a good looking game. It's sub-par. And if you must know, yes , Mafia is a more popular franchise on PC than Mass Effect...

My eyes...

Yeah, I guess everyone else is crazy right? LOL...some folks. Like I said I barely even like ME2 (play it as a 3rd person shooter instead of a RPG), but to claim they made 'minimal effort' on the graphics and presentation is just being a total douche unable to give something they don't like any credit at all.

Anyways have fun with that...

Hey i can go all day..

[QUOTE="JangoWuzHere"]

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] MoH was much better than CoD Black Ops in my opinion. I don't really play bad games. I only buy games that I know for certain I will like.SF_KiLLaMaN

Yuck...I know Black Ops has tons of technical issues, but I would rather suffer through those then play MoH.

The single player and multiplayer were two completely different games. The single player stands on it own, but the multiplayer is nothing more then a stripped down and unbalanced version of BC2.

The single player was enjoyable, but the game didn't really even start to build a story or atmosphere untill the very end. The single player is also FULL of scripting bugs. I had to actually restart an entire mission because the scripting was broken. Its also very short, only clocks around 4 hours. I remember Black ops being around 6-7 hours.

The multiplayer isn't fun at all for me. Its not balenced properly and the multiplayer maps are all around poorly designed. For a game based on twitch reflex, it should at least have good hit detection.

While Black ops has a ton of issues, I would rather play that then Medal of honor. Not to mention that Black Ops has a lot more content to mess around with.

The worst 2010 game I played on PC was Transformers: War for Cybertron. And it wasn't a bad game, just a competent and forgettable shooter with a Transformers skin. I'm sure they'll get it right next time, the foundation is already solid!

The worst game overall is God of War 2. I really liked the first GoW - until the last two hours and especially the Hades section turned into a sadistic exercise in fffrustration. But GoW2 is on a whole new level of terrible. In the first two minutes it ruined everything I liked about Kratos, it ruined the narrator, it ruined the gods of Olympus and it retroactively ruined the first game for me. It then proceeded to jump the QTE horse and to feature the most terrible and frustrating checkpoints, fights and platforming sequences ever. Also the story is bad. Plus it suffers from "sequelitis" - it tries too hard to make everything even more AWESOME and BIG than before. I hate it with a passion.

Of course it does...you just got some weird thing going on against ME2 lol.

Probably the most disapointing game to me was Fallout 3. Yes, I am one of the hardcore fans of the first 2 and yes I hated the third for many reasons not worth getting into right now.

ArchonOver

wasn't fallout 3 from 2008?

OT: i don't have a disliked game, probably because before i buy a game i make sure if i would like it, so i scout this site (formz) and ask you guys or look it up, many thanks for that.

allthough i made a leap of fate and picked up AvP, which i liked. What can i say i'm an aliens fan boy, the marine campaign was fun, as was the aliens campaign (only a bit short) and i had my fun at the multi, old skool arena battles was something i've missed.

In regards to Mass Effect 2 - at the risk of setting off the hate mines....

Weren't the graphics scaled back to reduce loading times? That was a big complaint on the first game.

High end PC's are expensive and most people don't build their own PC's - sometimes people assume upgrading graphics requires a new computer. Even then, buying a new video card isn't cheap either. Selling games is their priority. So the more accessible the game is...the more money they make.

And the game had to work with the Xbox too - and everyone knows the Xbox makes everything look crappy.

So it could be less about "no effort" and maybe more "accessible to more people".

Just a thought...(holds up white flag)

Well the sp wasn't terrible, i wouldn't call it great imo. It was 4 hrs, there was pretty much was no story. There was some cool set pieces like when you had to defend against these hordes coming down the hills but besides that nothing was amazing in that game.

I loved Batman AA. I think that's the only game I've played over 5 times. They did do an amazing job on that game. I will say the graphics are amazing on that game.

I'll concede the point - Mass Effect graphics should be better - but I think I'll still enjoy Mass Effect despite the graphics. Especially since I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

As a musician I can't focus on performances when they are doing something that bugs me. You obviously know a lot about graphic engines and stuff that makes my head spin. "Ignorance is Bliss" - I guess.

And I've played the game. It looks as bad as that. Generally.

I have not bought any bad games really.. If I have to choose one for PC it has to be WoW: Cataclysm.. But it might just because wow has lost its charm and seems like its grasping for every last penny before the end.

But in all fairness I rarely buy brandnew games, I think the only other one I have is Dragon Age from 2010.

Hey i can go all day..

It looks just fineon my computer and i have a low end graphics card.

Mass Effect 2, also one of my least favorite games of all time. It may have high production values, but I couldnt even force myself to finish it.

GeneralShozer ever thought that your PC might just suck? you got ME2 on all the low settings by the look of things, if I set Crysis on low textures it looks like crap!
