What would you declare as "The Worst Game" on any given platform?

[Stingy Perry Stingy Perry]

what about it is so bad specifically?

Bubsy 3D graphics is a lot better than this one.

Superman 64.

I... actually rented and played Superman 64 as a kid and was stuck with it all weekend... I think I may have been repressing that memory until now.

I rented it as a kid as well but pretty sure I went with my parents to return it the next day since I didn't like it. No one wants to fly through rings on the first level of a superhero game.

Clock Tower 3. I had just finished up Haunting Ground—which I ended up liking way more than I thought I would—and I wanted to compare the two because CT3 has something of a reputation for being batshit insane.

If you must experience that game, watch someone else play it. The stalker/killer A.I. is godawful. They have an infant's sense of object permanence: your character can get into a hiding spot a few feet in front of them and they just sit there wondering how that school girl suddenly disappeared. Then the stalker teleports away because this game doesn't give a rat's tuckus about verisimilitude.

Also, your character goes from being a useless damsel to a literal magical girl with arrows of light for poorly explained plot reasons.

Also also, some of the unlockable costumes for your 14-year-old heroine are...questionable.

Revolver. It's a movie actually, but it's so bad it transcends all barriers.

To be honest, even bad games have their charm.

I'd rather play a bad game, cause it will at least give me a few laughs, instead of a mediocre and forgettable game.

Ride to Hell is very firmly in the "So Bad It's Good" camp for me. It's incredibly entertaining for all the wrong reasons.

MagicMush video on Action52 (Particularly Cheetahmen) is great.

A moment of silence for all the kids who owned this instead of Zelda, Mario, Metroid etc.
(I periodically return to MM's Dobson Vid just for the Wii part.)

Extra points for the absolute bravery (or shamelessness) of the box art designers, plastering "made in America" everywhere.

I feel like games before the PS1 are cheating. There are just too many really bad ones especially on the Atari 2600 or NES. So for mine I shall put this.

I have a distinct resistance to "bad" games. I've played a lot of games that are considered bad but to me are fun. Games like Crash Twinsanity (the best one) or Final Fight Streetwise (saving is the major issue for me.) But this one just upset me, like really bad. The worst part is that I was playing through it with one of my homies and I just couldn't bring myself to finish it. We have the Ada campaign left. We played on No Hope (We've beat the majority of the rest on the hardest settings) and the amount of useless Skill Points the game drops you combined with the melee combat being stamina based just killed any enjoyment for me. Resi 5 is considered the death of the series for a while but I think that one was good. 6 and maybe Operation Raccoon City are the worst of the series by a long mile (at least ORC is funny at times.)
Resident Evil 6 is the biggest example of wasted potential I've touched. Especially learning that Claire and Jill were supposed to be in the game but got cut because of the Revelations series or something like that. I think if the combat wasn't so reliant on the slow clunky CQC and useless skills that don't even really help it would've been better. It could've also used some slower moments to draw the horror out better, this one went back to zombies for some parts in the game, they should be as horrifying and creepy as past titles.

Oh, not to mention that Jake and the other hoe (can't remember her name) are some of the most shallow, boring characters Capcom has ever written. Jake especially should've been threatening and mysterious, but instead is the classic edgelord with daddy issues.

So, I've played objectively shittier games than this, but this game gets my vote. For one, it's licensed slop. Two, it's based off the Michael Bay trash movies with their stupid modern designs. Finally, it was just... bland. I could say as bland as white bread, but I've had some absolutely delicious white bread that you don't even need to put anything on. The blandness is legit shocking. It's just so nothing. I didn't detect even the slightest hint of a soul in it. Ultimately, I tend to find bland games worse than bad games. Same with other forms of media. Something bad at least makes me feel emotions while playing it. Negative ones, sure, but it's something! I rented it and played it for maybe two hours before returning it and getting something else. I don't have much more to say. This kind of game is true suffering for me.

This game is absolute dogshit, by far one of the worst 2D platformers ever made. But the cutscenes are funny as fuck.

Isn't this the game that has a topless mermaid easter egg?

I saw someone playing this not too long ago. I did like the animations during gameplay, but yeah it looked pretty smelly honestly.
