What was the worst game that you played in your life?

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9547]

Super Mario Bros and The Lost Levels was quite stressful. Most of Donkey Kong Country 2 was aggravating. Back during the SNES, Genesis era, I would get so angry at the game, I broke the controllers. My dad told me to put it away when you get angry, but I’m the kind of guy who has to continue forward and finish whatever game I start, even if it gotten me p~~~ed.

I have often thought that this may very well be intentional on the part of the people who write the games. It’s a topic often addressed in sci fi etc. that if provided with totally successful tranquil surroundings, the human psyche dies.

Great thread

For me Armorines on the N64…thought I was getting Starship Troopers in a game but it was a total mess. Fog to the point where you couldn’t see anything, s~~~ guns and terrible baddies. F~~~ing awful

Probably Sims, dont know what part.

I never had an Atari myself. But I have played the game on emulators before and it’s as bad as everyone says it is. Gets very irritating quite fast.

I have raged at many a game myself. But never to the point of breaking anything. I just come back and try again later and I almost always get it eventually, even if only by trial and error.

The last game I rage quit on was GTA V(few months back) and that’s because the game is rather rigid.

Can’t steal the jet out of the military base, because as soon as you fly above the fence, 2 planes spawn directly behind you and blow you up instantly.

And the graveyard level. It wouldn’t let me get out of the graveyard, except to go through the predefined path and I kept dying and having to do it all over again. So I deleted the game off my computer and haven’t played it since. I’ve been thinking of picking it up again TBH.

Devil May Cry 2 was pretty bad.
I dumped a lot of time into it, but it was still pretty bad. However Bloody Palace was fun, and Quicksilver was a cool thing in it too.

Mario Is Missing on SNES was completely pointless and I don’t even know why it was made.

Yeah, Devil May Cry 2 is pretty weak compared with 1 and 3

“Superman 64”

First, you do the rings which you can prepare for by using the ring practice. If you get super good at the rings, there are only short bits you play between doing more rings.

The Angry Video Game Nerd has covered most of these terrible games, especially Superman 64 which super p~~~ed him off.

Most games in the old days were bad. Developers just pushed out numbers of games onto kids who had no way of looking up internet reviews. As a kid, I rented most games before buying. Worst game I onwed was Top Gun for the NES. F~~~ that game. It was so dissapointing! The intro screen was badass. An 8-bit cinematic of an F-15 lighting its afterburners faded onto the screen accompanied by an amazing 8-bit theme song. Hell yea! This game was going to be awesome! That feeling ended immediately. You just move a cursor on a screen and shoot flaming piles of dog s~~~ (enemy missiles) coming at your screen. Then you have to land the damn plane on a f~~~ing aircraft carrier and no matter how anal you follow the instructions, you can’t land the damn plane. After awhile, you are glad the plane crashes. Apparently if you use the s~~~ty power glove on Top Gun, the s~~~tyness of the power glove and the s~~~tyness of the game cancel out and you can land the plane on the carrier. People who were lucky enough to get to level 2 were rewarded with the same damn level except with a slightly different color background.

OK, end rant.

That’s easy Robotica for Sega Saturn. The original American football for the Atari was right behind it too. It was amazing to see what the programmers squeezed out of that old box in its latter years.

One of the worse games I ever played was No Mans Sky,

Multiplayer,

Hunting exotic aliens,

Spaceship battles vs giant pirate clans,

Customizing your own spaceship and character,

Getting a reward at the center of the universe,

Weapons that are customizable,

Meeting up with your friends,

Engaging story,

ALL OF IT, absolute nonsense, worse $60 I ever spent.

(Or at least one of the games I regret buying the most.)

Having a girlfriend is like owning a gun, the longer your around it, the more you want to shoot it.

Oh, yeah! I remembered now another horrible game I had played… the name of the game is “The Horrible Demon 3” and the game is just a f~~~ing mess!

I need to say it again – Armorines on the N64…

for a more recent bad game – Star Wars Kinect (why did I buy that s~~~)

Yeah. I got burned with a bad game once. Called Titanic: Dare to Discover. This game had almost nothing to do with the ship and was instead a rip off of Myst set in a boring underwater city. I kick myself realizing that we actually had been looking at the game we should’ve bought, but didn’t know enough to buy it at the time.

Years later I also ended up with a couple of coasters one called ‘Nam 67 and some Delta force game set in Mogadishu with the worst graphics and level design ever. Fortunately they came from the bargain bin, so they didn’t cost that much.

Other than that, I haven’t had many bad game experiences since. Some games I thought would be crap turned out to be really great games like Conflict: Desert Storm and Starsky and Hutch.

An AD&D session ran by two lesbians who wanted nothing but dialogue and description from the participants. Pistol Pete and I were part of a campus gaming club and signed up for their game without know much about them, or their gaming style. We were hack and mayhem brothers who only used descriptions for monsters, fountains of blood and loot.

After killing everyone and everything, we were invited to leave and not come back.

Leave and not come back we did!

Basically all the Sonic games in hindsight. I loved them as a kid, though.
