MGS4, FFXIII, and the absolute worse ever? Storm Rise.

Putting MGS4 and FXIII in the same sentance as Storm Rise isn't really fair to be honest, but i've never been accused of being fair.

-Snooze-

MGS4? I mean I didnt enjoy the game as much as I hoped and thought it was crap next to MGS1 and MGS2, but Ive certainly played worse.

[QUOTE="lucky_star"]

The game is a joke, thats the catch.

Some-Mist

So that makes it ok? The game is supposed to suck. Got it. So I should like it because it's supposed to suck and succeeds? And you imply I'm stupid...

for a game that does so much wrong, it also successfully does something other games don't even attempt to do. Even though the gameplay is crap, it's like a modern day shenmue.

seemless open world to gather clues, talk to the towns people, do sidequests that actually add to the main story's plot, dungeon type levels, and a flawless 24 hour time system. You can only visit shops, do missions, or find people at their homes on certain days. You can camp someone who works at a local store, watch them lock up and get in their car, follow them in their car to their house, and then proceed to go and talk to them at their house. It's how EVERY NPC functions in the game. The world is truly life-like.

It's like a B movie popcorn flick. the gameplay is so bad, but everything about the game is so intruiging that it's hard to put down (well...not so much in your case). The story is creepy, yet hilarious much like David Lynch's "Twin Peaks". With the exception of that TV series, it has a truly unique story line and will keep you guessing until the end. It does a very good job of not leaving any plot holes behind too. Games like LA Noire would have been so much better if they offered the type of seemless world that deadly premonition offers.

It's seriously not a big deal that you think it's the worst game you've played this gen, because many people will think the same thing. The only reasons I'm giving you my insight to why the game is incredible is just so you can understand why people actually enjoy this game.

Hey I can respect that. There is no way I could see myself sitting through that combat to get to that point, but I understand what you are telling me. For me, stories are an added bonus. If I can't enjoy the gameplay I won't enjoy the game. I don't even really watch TV, movies, or read fiction because stories don't really mean anything to me. Of course there are some exceptions but in general.

I do agree with you that the seamless world and schedule done the way you described would have helped LA NOIRE, and Heavy Rain. Neither of those games come close to being exceptional in my book but the gameplay to me was at least solid enough compared to DP that I saw the endings. Well maybe not Heavy Rain ;)

definetly Farcry 2, no doubt about it, it had potential, and some bits of it were fun, but the malaryia and just all the driving killed it for me.

Heavy Rain (raises flame sheild)

I hated this game with a passion. The story was boring, the acting was horrible at best adn it held no interest. I just gave it away, cant stand to even look at it. It wasnt even because of the gameplay style I found it interesting. Just every other aspect of the game. IMO it deserved a 6/10 at best.

T-eng man, T-eng... and entire game built around a counter of how much mythical t-eng you have stored up... Id rather play a game where It shows a double barrel shotgun pointing at the screen with a prompt to push "A". game succccckkkked.

Crisis Core: Easy difficulty and boring gameplay. Smash X throughout the whole game and get interrupted by the DMW reel every three seconds during a boss fight. Let's not forget the awful writing.DJChuy
So much fail here. You can get through the first hour or so by mashing X, and if you don't like that you can turn the difficulty setting up. I know that may be a wierd concept but that's what it's there for!! And you can stop the DMW by using a ring you obtain about 30 minutes into the game called 'cursed ring' which provide many stat boosts to counter the positive effects of the DMW. Oh and I thought the writing was excellent.

You're right - you can get through the entire game by running behind the enemy and pressing x. And the DMW is still completely random and stupid considering how powerful it is.

[QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="lordreaven"] I wouldn't say worst, but ME2 really felt meh to me (i haven't even finished it yet I wa sso bored). Maroxad

sigh.... how? wha? i just dont know what to say... different strokes I guess.

Different strokes for different folks, I hate Mass Effect series as well. Just as I dislike Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Dragon Age series. Not that I am against WRPGs, I loved Witcher 1+2, Fallout: New Vegas, Mount and Blade, Eschalon Book 1+2, NWN2: MotB, Risen, Drakensang: River of Time and Depths of Peril.

With that said, I can understand why people like Mass Effect, it is just that cover based shooters dont appeal to me whatsoever.

The thing is, that doesn't make it the worst game ever, as the title suggests, you'd have to be straight up stupid to classify stuff like Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout and Dragon Age, including 2, as the worst games ever.

Resident evil 5. Even though I enjoyed some parts I forced myself to enjoy it as much as I could. In the end, it was disappointing at best. Awful AI took it's toll, I didn't find co-op to be that fun even playing with someone. The controls were ok but compared to Res 4 on the Wii it doesn't compare. I was not gonna purchase the gold edition for the move controls either. Never the less, a review I saw said it didn't match up to Res 4 on the Wii. The DLC was quite fun (I got it as a special offer on PSN) it could have been so much more.

The thing is, quality is subjective and not an objective thing, if someone says Mass Effect, Oblivion, Fallout, and Dragon Age 1+2 as the worst games ever that would be his/her opinion. Having an opinion does not make anyone stupid or smart.

Also keep in mind that it is the worst games we have played. So I cannot mention games like Anubis 2 or Rogue Warrior because I simply put, havent played them.

So many great games in this thread :?.

MGS, Halo, Gears, Uncharted, GTA, Mario Galaxy....
Common people, be honest here, those are nowhere near the worst games this gen.

This is my pick:

Normally I never buy games without some research first, I saw this in a PS3 only store and thought it looked like fun.
boy, was I wrong.

I think that game looks great, but it's overpriced since the only place to get it is the PS3 store. What about the game did you not like?

I don't know, It was in Holland when I was on a trip.
They only had PS3 games,there were lot of games I never saw before in that store. I think they imported from Japan/US cause I swear I saw games there I never saw in Europe before.

That game really was as frustrating as it was fun... I was in such support of that game too, even made the hype thread on GS, but when all was said and done, I just couldnt get past how insanely broken that game was.

I'm going to go ahead and say Homefront. The single player was terrible. It was a slow and clunky version of CoD with mandatory stops ever 5 minutes to watch two character babble on about nothing.

street fighter 4 and at times KZ3stereointegrity

Street Fighter 4 is the "absolute WORST game this gen youve played"?

You should never touch a fighting game ever again, EVER. Seriouslly just quit fighting games for good.

The worst game I played was Spore, hands down. Nothing else even came close.PurpleMan5000

Actually, I guess Sim City Societies did come close. It wasn't as bad as Spore, but it was a close second.

Mass effect 1.TheGuardian03
I am the biggest Mass Effect fanboy there ever was, but I kind of agree with this. Mass Effect 1 was a bit disappointing, IMO, but I did finish it and found it to be a very good game nonetheless. But I would still rank it as one of the most disappointing games in recent memory.

I am quite surprised at people saying WET was once of the worse games on this Gen, although it is all about personal opinion I really enjoyed it and found it challenging but a fairly fun game.

I'm pretty good at selecting my games but I'd say probably a toss up between Fable 3 and Crackdown 2.
