Worst game of this gen so far?

I want to say GTA4, but no one would buy it, even though that game was crappola... so, instead Ill say lost planet.... and it deserves extra hate because someone actually thought of designing bad gameplay from 1996 into the now gen, meanwhile Actraiser sits on a shelf somewhere with a mountain of dust.

Then it wasn't really a bad game as such, just a repetitive one. It did some things very well, and bad games don't spawn a whole saga of games

It actually put me off the series, I had to be persuaded a lot to get AC2

What? there was no "series" when it launched so how did it put you off it?

Agreed. I started the series with Brotherhood, then went on to AC2, then AC. I was simply flabbergasted by how awful it was compared to AC2/AC:B. What's sad is you aren't joking, you literally are doing the same missions over and over, just in different cities. That's just terrible game design.

[QUOTE="Z-Fatalis"]

[QUOTE="BPoole96"] I forgot how bad AC1 was. It was literally repeating the same missions over and over and then doing an assassination. The graphics and crowds were impressive at the game but other than that t was AC2. AC2 however changed all for the better and redeemed the series for me.seanmcloughlin

1. He played AC1, after AC2 had already came out

or

2. He played AC1, and had no interest in future sequals

#2 happened to me. I got AC2 as a present though, and played it a month later, and it became one of my favorite games this gen.

Worst game that I've played this gen is probably Homefront. My God was that game bad.

Oh yeah, Duh! :P Now I feel dumb. Anyway carry on

Duke Nukem Forever . The game is broken, >painguy1

Sonic '06 takes the goddamn cake here. darkspineslayer

It's a toss up between Duke Nukem Forever, and the first Resistance.

They may be the two worst FPS games ever made.

Terminator Salvation.

Sonic 06 that game was a nightmare

Dude what?

That was far from a bad game let alone one of the worst.

The story was really good, gameplay was solid, MP was enjoyable and had up to 40 people which was a big deal at the time.

What parts of it didn't you enjoy?

It's funny people will post Call of Duty or Resident Evil when there's games like Bullet Witch, Vampire Rain, Rogue Warrior and other broken unfun games with no fans.

ITT: People mistaking games that let them down or were disappointed over vs. actual bad games.

Anyway, RE6 maybe from the small parts I played. It was like trying shave my balls with sandpaper. I haven't played many other bad games as such. F3AR was a pretty crap game compared to it's predecessors.

halo 3 odst! what a lousy game on other note, ive played a few more ----- pd0 and duke nukem forever!

those are my top 3 couldnt get any worst then slapping on multiplayer from past halo 3 and slapping on a generic story line lol

From what I have played, probably Fable 2.

Perfect Dark Zero gets way more hate than it deserved. Sure it may not live up to the name and have some issues, but it is still a good game with many features from the original that I miss a lot in todays slew of FPS games.

Dark Souls, Carrier Command: Gaea Mission or Legndary. I cant decide which one I hated more.

[QUOTE="painguy1"]Duke Nukem Forever . The game is broken, >senses_fail_06

I'm pretty forgivable when it comes to bad games but Splinter Cell Double Agent really got under my skin. The game really frustrated me and I never played a game with so many glitches it actually got to the point of making me mad. Here are some issues I had with the game:

-my character got stuck inside the level numerous times throughout the game which forced me to restart to the last checkpoint

-files/saves got corrupted in the middle of the game multiple times which forced me to restart the levels

-something events didn't triggered after completing the objectives which also lead me to restarting the levels

-cutscenes froze(on my screen it will still in-game but nothing is happening)

-graphics are really outdated and what suprised me was Chaos Theory looked 10x better then Double Agent; plus artifacts appeared multiple times on the screen

-awful shading in the shadow graphics actually interfered with the gameplay because I literally couldn't tell where the shadows were and where enemies could spot me

-ditching the old stealth interface with the new (green,yellow, red) made it harder to determine how close you are about to being spotted. Combine this with the bad shadows in the game made this playing through this game a living nightmare.

PS: I actually finished the game :P

The entirety of it.

The gunplay was bad, and only made worse by the gun variety, and design. Nothing about the guns offered anything for dynamic changes in gameplay, or allowed you to change up your approach to any encounter other than the auger, but that only ever really amounted to camping behind a wall, and shooting through it which wasn't in any way a fun way to play.

The enemy AI could also manage to notice you, and shoot you with pinpoint accuracy, from great distances. This made many encounters frustrating at times to deal with.

And then there were the unforgiving checkpoints which, along with the previous two points, again made for an awful time.

The level design was generic, and also terrible at times. Often times it was just knee-high walls which barely provided cover, and this only exacerbated the problem of both enemy AI sniping you with machine guns from 100 meters out, or better yet the auger, and the terrible checkpoints.

Overall the game screams generic, the game design is awful, the story is bad, and the main hero is laughable, but even more laughable is how when you play co-op the 2nd players' existence isn't even acknowledged.

As it stands there are FPS games out that are worlds better, but they reside on other platforms.

From what i have played Max Payne 3, too many cutscenes for my liking.

Worst game that I have played this gen: Dragon Age Origins. Repetitive micro hell with bad characters, banal setting, tonnes of filler, no pacing and a story I couldnt care less about.

Worst gaming related experience that I have had this gen: Playing the Uncharted demo. God that was beyond awful. I played it 4 years ago and I still have the awful taste left in my mouth after that. Easily the worst experience I have ever had in my life.

Can't say I played anything from this gen that was completely broken or utterly abysmal.

But I did play APB at it's original launch and my god that sucked ass. Also I despised Fable 2.

I hated Skyward Sword too, but I guess I can see why people like it.

Vaasman

Sonic 2006 gets my vote for worst game this gen.

Even if I had play every single game in existence I will still say that i don't like games that are full of cutscenes.
