The game that got the lowest score that I played is Bullet Witch. I actually kind of liked it though. :P

Gears of War on PC. There are few games I put down because they were boring (they can be boring gameplay wise but the story might compell me to go on) but Gears was the biggest disappointment this generation :(

I've played a few... here are some::

Chromehounds (X360): Terrible >:(

Far Cry Instincts Predator (X360): Terrible Controls

Mercenaries 2 World in Flames (PC): A PS2 Port with bad graphics and NO antialiasing.

savetehhaloz

I bought Mercenaries 2 for PC, but it wasnt a PS2 port, and as i ran it in higher res than a console and higer FPS, it WAS the better version.

Its just not a very good game!

Assassin's Creed. Most Overrated garbage spewed out of Ubisoft navstar29


This. And also Far Cry 2. Those games were SO repetitive, it was just the same missions over and over and over again.

Amazing how many decent and good games got posted in this thread! If Mass Effect, Halo 3, or Killzone 2 are the worst games you played this generation, consider yourself lucky. All of them games are quality polished titles, regardless of your personal opinion....The majority of this board seems one step up from full blown imbecile sometimes....

It was bad when it was released, but they've since issued a couple of patches and I've not had any problems. I've seen lag one in about 100 games since hte patch.

It wasn't released this gen...but I was playing it this gen:

This game can go die. I didn't even realize the picture for the logo was the girls posing, I thought it was Paine riding a weird looking horse.

But for this gen I suppose:

The hell did Free Radical do?! Timesplitters was great, but this was just utter crap.

probably turok for me, so much promise, yet it turned into fail. i'm sure i've played a few more stinkers that i traded in for being ass. cod5 was pretty naff, it wasn't bad and if cod4 never released it would be good but i just went back to cod4 after i completed the single player and went online for a bit, seemed pointless to me, same game even the settings and guns didn't feel much different. fifa 09 was fun, and i played it alot when i got it, but the game restricts you so you tend to play the exact same game over and over. gets a bit repetitive i played it again the other day, and just got bored. i tend to buy games that i know i'm going to be interested in so i rarely buy proper stinkers.

Far Cry 2.

"Far Cry marked the beginning of a new era for shooters. An era of gorgeous graphics and of advanced artificial intelligence," declared John Parkes, EMEA marketing director at Ubisoft. "We are confident that Far Cry 2 will have the same impact again on the FPS genre landscape."

Right.

Even though its not a bad game...

Jericho.

Now the start of it was so horrible I just could not bring myself to continue playing it.

Which is the only game in the last few years to achieve that.

[QUOTE="Andrew_Xavier"][QUOTE="mitu123"][QUOTE="halofanmatt"]i thought haze and phantasy star were pretty entertaining HAZE: i like shooting Nuff Said PSU: online is pretty fun with friends if you cant get past the 10$ a month

Online couldn't really save it, one mode can't stop a game from being bad IMO.

It's not one mode, the game is intended to be an MMORPG (hence the monthly fee), the offline content is essentially just to learn how to play for online, and the online system is totally different. It's kind of unfair to criticize a game without playing the actual game :? It'd be like buying NHL 09 and saying "Didn't like the tutorial mode, so it sucks."

Dude, it was just a boring game overall, both off and online. Waste of money IMO.

It was a very very average game (although some kickass music). Compared to PSO, its absoloute crap.

Exactly, PSO destroys this game, I was expecting PSU to be as good or better than PSO, guess we were wrong.

Maybe hes played SMG, MGS4, Portal and Crysis. Along with those games, i can see why they would be the worst.

Me personally, i thought Lost Planet was brilliant and that DR was absoloute crap.

"Absolute crap" is hyperbole. You make it sound like the game is broken. Technically speaking its proficient and works the way the creators intended. Whether or not you enjoyed the game is another story. Absolute crap is an ignorant way to express your opinion because the game isn't crap not by any definition of the word. A literally broken game like Alone in the Dark is absolute crap. Because it doesn't work. Thats the difference between building a bicycle that falls apart when you ride it and one that works but you don't like the color it was painted.

Thats the difference between building a bicycle that falls apart when you ride it and one that works but you don't like the color it was painted.

I played lost planet and loved it, i then played Dead Rising and thought it was crap. The concept, characters and gameplay, i hated it all.

I can understand what your saying if i were going against you for believing DR was great. If someone says DR is great and they liked it, im not about to go and point out things why its not because its a matter of taste and i did not like it. I can gurantee you, you would have not came after me had i said "Dead Rising is the most amazing game ever 10/10 IMO!!" even though its technically not.The fact is that i just called a game you love absoloute crap and that made you angry.

Some people hate LP but love DR and theres people like me who are opposite. Ive also noticed from the two fanbases, DR fans are quick to jump on you if you dont like the game (im not saying you).Its not about being a fanboy i played it and thought it was crap.

Now that i think about it, the worse games i have played this gen are sonic 06 (borrowed not purchased) and DR.

Marvel ultimate alliance (360)

DOAX (360)

PD0 (360)

Ninenty Nine Nights (360)

PGR3 (360)

Dead Rising (360)

The Club (ps3) So far ive only played it for 5 mins, literally.

Far Cry 2 (ps3)

Wow. I am surprised by some of these picks but everyone has their own taste. Marvel, PGR3 and Dead Rising were 3 very fun games for me.

i dont play games when it will obviously be a bad game, so with the ones that i actually played, imma go with Assassin's Creed. that POS game is nothing but repetition at its best. ugh. i jsut hate that game sooo much, nothing else to do, VERY EASY, no variation whatsoever, you have to do the same things over and over and the cutscenes in the Assassin's Bureau are just a big WTF. boring, tedious plot and cutscenes. ugh.

the graphics are amazing, but gameplay-wise? meh. definitely not a $60 game. this is the rundown of the whole game:

1) go to a city, find the Assassin's Bureau. talk to the guy there.

2) go out, investigate, pickpocket, interrogate, eavesdrop.

3) go back to the Assassin's Bureau and talk to the guy

4) go search you target, assassinate, escape.

5) go to another city, find another Assassin's Bureau. talk to the guy there.

6) go out, investigate, pickpocket, interrogate, eavesdrop.

7) and so on...

that is the whole game.
