Games that suck all kinds of ass

What generation does it come from, is it PC/console/arcade, and what makes it so god-awful?

SNES:

-Obitus:  First person dungeon crawler that reeks of repetetive rooms, lame combat, and no point.

-Weaponlord: Fantasy characters fight with various weapons.  Looks great until you realize "hitting each other" was left out of the game.

Playstation:

-Pepsiman: Sort of a crash bandicoot with restrictive controls and levels, and no attacks.  Annoying music, and Japanglish slogans from a fat southern californier make this a novelty game at its best.

yes pepsi man was aefull but as a marketing ploy it was brilliant. to this very fucking day me and friends whill suddenly start singing the theme song

PEPSI MAN!!!!!


hmmm nothing comes to mind when i think terrible. maybe except the rpg drakken on the snes. never could get into that game be it the awful grpahics of the horrible system

SHAQ-FU

and FFX-2

Master of Orion 3 for PC

too many options and things you could tweak, but you'd never see if changing something made a difference.

Drakkhen is a great game for novelty/humor reasons. You can't beat a giant skull with wings coming out of a constellation in the sky and screaming "OOOOHHHH OOOOOHHHH" at you while annhilating your party.

 Or maybe it's the shitty animation, especially on the larger enemies. And the hilariously bad enemies, such as the water wave enemy, the all-black chest hole man enemy or the badly animated stick figure man enemy.

 On the plus side, it had some nice music, and you could strip your female characters down to their medieval lingerie.

That Phillips CD-i Zelda game.  I can't even remember the actual name, it's so horrendous.  *shudders*

I second Shaq-Fu.  Ugh.

Biohazard: Gun Survivor (I think that's the Japanese name, I don't remember what it was called in America).  Sounded like it could have been neat, but was just laaame.

I really hated Act Raiser II, but I'm not sure if that's so much the game being crappy as them taking out a lot of the stuff I liked in the first one.  Hmm.

Catwoman.  The game might even be worse than the movie, and that thing was a steaming pile of crap.

Actually, almost every comic book game ever made.  Especially Superman 64.

PS2's Ephemeral Fantasia was really awful. The graphics were similar to that of megaman legends I for psx, the outside world was impossible to traverse; it was so incredibly repetative that it was like you were trying to get somewhere worthwhile in a hanna-barbera style hallway (looping image).

it had a bemani game in it where you failed if you ever didn't get a perfect...

i would go into more detail, but i just got off work.

Yoshi's Story for N64 was a big steaming pile. Bio-Freaks was pretty shitty as well, and I heard "Irritating Stick" was just god awful. I take personal offense to Bebe's Kids for SNES. I actually bought it because it was said to be a really really shitty game.

[SNES] Earthbound.  NES graphics in an SNES cartridge and the game wasn't even that much fun to play anyway.

[PC] Rebel Assault.  One of those games that made its money on the initial novelty value of CDROM gaming.  Sucktacular.

[N64]Forsaken.  Tried to be "Descent" and failed miserably.  Was even worse than the Playstation version, too.

counter-strike (and all repackagings thereof, "source" included)... dumbed down depth-less repetition for the ADD generation. Worst thing to hit the PC since Ultima Online. Also, not quite sure which of the two spawned a more irritating and obnoxious following. Anyone?

Starcraft port, N64. No RTS should ever be played without a keyboard.

Divine Divinity, PC. It squandered every opportunity to be a really good game. Only redeeming factor: existentialist skeletons.

Black and White, PC. Do I even need to say why?

Bramble#pwUKFLEItU
"Black and White, PC. Do I even need to say why?"

YES, becouse thats is one of the greatest games ever made.

The Wand of Gamelon
Feel free to ask me for the game videos; I'm not stupid enough to post them on world4ch.

>>13

Yeah, that's the title.  I wonder what poor Miyamoto thought when he saw that thing.

I also forgot to mention Seven Samurai 20XX, which raped Kurosawa's classic and had spandex-clad, rollerblading, rapping bad guys.

Shaqfu anyone?

Space Shuttle, for the Atari 2600. XD

Chameleon Twist [N64] was a pile of shit too.

[64] Quest64. It was charming, until you realized that the long action RPG they claimed it to be was actually lengthy only due to the EXCESSIVELY LONG pathways. Could've been good, wanted to be good, but the devs gave up after the first world and so it stunk. :p

BATTLE BLAZE - SNES

i think i'll add star ocean 4 to this list (just finished it yesterday... i want my hours back)

3 i meant (stupid key board. obey me!!!)

>>15
read the thread please

And I'm shocked that no one has mentioned ET for the Atari 2600 yet. That was the king of all pointless games.

And in more relatively recent history, the second worst game I can attest to having ever played is Rapjam on the SNES. Think of a shitty, shitty, shitty basketball game, where you can only have 1-on-1 or maybe 3-on-3, playing basketball at night in dirty ghettos with broken glass all over the place, with little nigger kids standing on the sidelines, cheering and shit.

But here's the catch: you didn't just play as a random 6-foot uneducated elementary-school dropout. Oh, no. You played as Coolio, or LL Cool J, or Queen Latifah, or one of like 5 other rappers, and there was this shitty rap beat "music" (using the term quite lightly here) playing over the background.

My parents got that for me as my first game for the SNES when we finally got enough money to buy one in 1994. I broke it.

I second the motion for Star Ocean 3. It's so boring and cookie-cutter, like Square isn't even fucking trying in their stories anymore.

In recent history, though, Bujingai: The Forsaken City.

Lest we forget, though, The Bouncer (A Squaresoft near-launch PS2 action game) and a little gem called Pokemon Channel. The Getaway 2 just reeks of bullshittery.

>>22 I'll second on Square not trying on their stories.  It's like they chew up their old plots and vomit them out to get a slight variation.

To Square's credit, SO3 isn't their game, it's Tri-Ace's. If my playing SO2 was any indication, though, Tri-Ace's writers fucking suck.

Have anyone played Mortyr? The original Mortyr?
Terrible, terrible game.

Fucking MEGAMAN 2

Controversial, I'm sure, but IT'S SHIT

Ah, forgot to mention Drakengaard.

Alien Resurrection... An FPS with fast moving enemies, were a single shot can kill you allready should at least feature decent controls.
The old (ancient) Alien Trilogy still owns it's ass - big time.

That 3D Castlevania on the N64 - talk about missing the whole point of the Castlevania series. "Yes," thought the developers, "let's take a game series reknowned for its beautiful 2D visuals, smooth controls and undead-fighting action and turn it into a dull, grey, uncontrollable piece of unplayable crap."

starship titanic, looked promising but the dialogue was endless, and it wasn't up to Adam's normal standard.

gotta disagree with whoever said earthbound, what other game let you kill cops and hippies? or came with scratch and sniff stickers?

Avoid  Children of the Nile the tutorials work but nothing else
will load a check of their tech support forum is a list of video
cards that won't work, tweaks to system, etc, etc and the infamous you need to reload your operating system. I would appear that this game was released before if was even ready for beta release. Spread the word the only way we can stop this is
to hit them on the bottom line.

>>10
that would be gunbound lol

All of you should play BrainLord for SNES. Worst game ever. I even bought it.

FFX-2 sucks all kinds of ass

T2--Terminator 2 for Atari/Amiga, was COMPLETELY horrible.
ShaqFu has to be the worst game for SNES. Revolution-X on SNES doesn't fall too hard behind, where the object is to throw records at ppl in windows. So much fun..
I also thought, Where's Mario?, Mario's Time Machine and the like were just completely horrible games.
The game I hate the most is Friday the 13th for NES not b/c it's bad, but b/c it's so stupidly difficult, and there's not enough there to make you want to complete this stupidly difficult game.

>>35
Rise of the Robots is even more unplayable than Shaq-Fu.

>>5
Oddly enough the sequel is pretty good. Localized as Dragon View. Fights were 2D but the travel screen looked the same. Fights/dungeons were like Zelda 2 + Ys.

>>10
At least UO birthed the Bones comic, due to the horrendous glitching. Sometimes I think UO would lose much of its following if it hadn't had such insane glitches.

>>35
They should have gone with changing the name and graphics on SD Splatterhouse and called it a day. That would've been a lot more fun, and a lot funnier.

>>36
Did you play the sequel? omfg.... just knowing they put so much time into such a shoddy product hurts my thinky stuff.

Where's the love for Tecmo's Secret of the Stars? Thanks to the terrible translation the US game actually became good. Funniest translation ever. Total lack of caring. Zany video game quotes for some screens.

Second entry for me: Paladin's Quest. Boring as shit, confusingly frustrating battle system, and they felt the need to abbreviate every goddamn item in the game. Even plain items like "dagger" and "helmet," despite having an 8 character limit. Also, you need to equip inventory items to use them during combat. You can never have more than 2 healing/status restore items X9, MP is nonexistent, all healing is item only. As magic uses your health to cast. Ugh... The only interesting thing about it was you can hire lots of different temporary characters in the game. Oh and Chezni the mage, AKA you, dooms the world at the start of the game. Haha, n00b.

I disagree on earthbound, fucking wonderful game. I love it.

Pool of Radiance. The later PC one, from a couple years ago. The dead-boring, frustrating (try being halfway through the game and still missing 9 time out of every 10 attempts to attack) weren't even the issue. PoR was, probably, the only game in history in which there was a frighteningly common, very well documented, bug, that caused complete deletion of the hard drive's data with no notice.

Counter Strike
