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

[Stookymalarkey]

Playstation 2 and Playstation Portable.
Little Britain: The Videogame

There is also some other super uber duper garbage, like The Sniper 2, but this one IMHO takes the cake.
Looks ugly, plays ugly, everything about it is a mistake.

Okay, you win this topic.

Oh yeah, I haven't played it, but I've seen and read enough about it. Although, there are also those European Disney rip-offs with digital coloring books to consider as well, but one could argue that those aren't even games.

• PSone → "Dinosaurs" by Phoenix Games a Dutch publisher that apparently released many games (for PSone and PS2) that were all identical.
  • Shouldn't Net Yaroze games have their own subcategory here? I'd say "The Incredible Coneman" (the "Pac-Man" clone). That three seconds long soundtrack is unforgettable.
• Atari 2600 → Probably "Laser Blast", even though I've played this one more than "Superman" or "E.T.".
• NES → There are many bad games, but at least they are playable for the most patient people. "Action 51" is probably the worst one, because they are precisely 51 games and all of them bad or unplayable.

Troll and I for the switch, on its own its a really bad port but there's a random chance when you start the game it will be locked at 10 fps, I'm shocked I haven't heard anyone talk about this but then again I don't think anyone else has thought about this game in 3 years

Here's my pick! "Dex"-Enhaced version by Badland Games/Dreadlock on PSVita!

Spoiler and warning: THE GAME CRASHES EVERY 30 minutes of play, no matter what you do, unreadable UI, long-loading level, stuttering and slow-downs are continual and breaks the gameplay!! Game data with the update is clearly bloated and occupy 3GB (veery expensive in terms of Vita card, although some manual trim can be achieved) Someone was really excited to allow the game reach the digital store bypassing QA as a real pro! It is clear that Vita releases at its final era didnt receive the attention and budget...A real pity...
I was really intrigued to play some cyberpunk-themed game on the Vita and i wanted to discover by myself, as usually, i disagree with commons Top10, i understand VitaPlayer 4-score review... although Metacritic's 62 score is more aproximate to my personal opinion.
After the initial disappoitment for the $$, and after some clarity-of-mind with the flaws, I have dedicated the christmas week to the game, and reached one ending (...), and also completed more than a 60-70% of the missions with a rank-10... for me seems a fair time
The gameplay follows the trail of '60 sci-fi/cyberpunk/paranoia writing (Gibson, K.Dick..) and the '90 genre 2D-style: Another World/Flashback mixed with simple RPG-levelling/point-and-click adventure but there's also the "cyberspace twin-stick sections" a'la System Shock (only game with cyberspace navigation that i know, at least) homage which seems the developer were trying to achieve by naming the main character "D(eus-)EX" (whoooaaa, or am i getting short ¿?).

Although the game maybe doesnt deserves that rant, for me it has been the worst experience i've ever played!! i usually cant spend time researching "making-of" articles of EVERY game im interested, but its clear that production didnt go as expected, there's even there's a in-game "obituary" dedicated to the main designer, (ugh),

the psx has my all time favorite console library, mainly because it has so much weird shit on it, lots of experimental games, art games, early 3d games, pc ports, some good platformers and great rpgs, etc but my number 1 most hated game (maybe not the WORST) on the console, is Scooby Doo in the Cyber Chase. that game is one of the few things that makes me viscerally angry. I like crappy games, I get sick enjoyment from games that barely function. I absolutely love stuff like Sonic 06 because it's just hilarious to play. but scooby doo is something else. it's a crash bandicoot clone with a pretty solid if nothing special introductory couple of levels, but after that it just gets frustrating beyond belief. it has really hard to describe but horrible physics and your depth perception for jumps is never what it seems. play that and donald duck on ps1 and it's night and day in the competency of a crash bandiclone. every year for 20+ years I've sat down and thought it can't be that bad I'll beat it this time and give up at the same part lol.

on the subject of Superman 64 I think I'm like one of 25 people who ever beat that game. Superman is my favorite fictional character (especially as a kid) and my dad took us to go get some games one time and I was stuck between Superman, Tony Hawk 2 or Pokemon Stadium 2. I chose Superman. big damn mistake. we also got World is Not Enough (criminally underrated campaign, multiplayer not as good as goldeneye but still fun) and Conker, and I was stuck with Superman 64 and tried to convince myself I liked it. my dad and brother both tried the first level and were like "this game sucks" and then had a great time playing 007 and Conker and I powered through S64. Superman 64 really isn't THAT bad once you get past the rings crap, but they ruin the whole game. the rest of it is nothing to write home about, still sucks, but it wouldn't be remembered like it is if those sections were just entirely cut. horrible first impression. I was much happier later when for a holiday and a birthday I ended up getting the Tony Hawk and Pokemon games I should have picked.

as far as other systems, wizard of oz and shaq fu were some real crap I owned on snes. shrek 1 on xbox and aquaman on gamecube are both horrible, ps2 had a lot of garbage too, but I wasn't aware of the depths of it until I got freemcboot and opl and tried some of the EU exclusive movie based games. I thought we got some bad licensed games in the states, nothing touches those games released by blast.

Snake's Revenge is better then the NES version of Metal Gear hands down.

 

[water_kooler]

The worst game I can remember is Ninjabread Man. Also, M&Ms Kart Racing for the Wii is comically bad.
There's Awesome Possum for the Genesis which takes the concept from Bubsy and it's made even worse.

 

[starseeker300]

What was the worst game you ever played for any amount of time and what made it so bad?

I wanna hear all about the shovelware that you all might have touched that makes us appreciate the good games all that more

what about it is so bad specifically?

 

[DunkeyKong]

Let's say…quite unplayable at best

 

[RanmyakuIchi's icon RanmyakuIchi RanmyakuIchi]

I played it deliberately out of morbid curiosity because it's a famous awful fighting game, but Shadow War of Succession

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

I think... Ren & Stumpy: Buckaroos.

It's just awful.

 

[LiberoVulpesLiberoVulpes's icon]

Isle of the Dead is pretty bad. Very clunky and that soundtrack will drive you insane.

I played this without knowing its reputation beforehand cause I like the PS1 original. It is one of the most unplayable FPS games I have ever touched, and I've played The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki.

 

[RageBurner]

This absolute waste of silicon of a game, Toxic Crusaders. It is bland, ugly, repetitive and difficult.
In other words, a case study on avoiding blind rentals.

 

[Spoopz]

honestly gave it like 3 shots. First when i was a 5 year old and got it when i got my ds lite. Second was on my pc with my wacom. Third was on my bfs 3ds. Every time i hated it. Its a tedious grind and NOT a fun one. And thats coming from me who can spend hours on dragon quest games.
Which sucks because ive been really digging the USA NES version

I was the opposite lmao, started with that one before the PS1 version. Fortunately, it helps me discovered a lot of good and bad ports

 

[Glaciation]

Worst game by design or disappointment? Holy fuck the ff7 remake was so bad.

The where's waldo game on nes is really annoying. Can't find him anywhere with graphics.
