About Me
The head gnome in charge of PlayingWithMyWeiner.com, the only gaming site run by a chick with two, count 'em TWO weiners!

As far as particulars, I am a WoW player, with a 80 gnome rogue and 70 gnome tank on Lothar US.

I dig RPGs, both Japanese and Western. I'm excited by games with good writing. Visuals are great, but are less important to me than the overall experience. That's not to say that I'm a casual gamer, but rather that I'm a Dragon Quest-type gamer, not a Final Fantasy type (though I play and enjoy both series.)

Right now I'm playing WoW, Fallout 3, Little Big Planet, DQ IV, and whatever doesn't suck on my iPhone.

Worst RPGs Ever?
Gwyddia | 5:30 PM on 12.01.2008 20 comments


This week's Weinercast will discuss the Top 5 (or more) Worst Role Playing Games ever to disgrace a system of any sort (including PCs). I have my own opinions, but I'd like more input. What do you think? What are the worst RPGs evar, and why?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

Chrono Cross.

A shitty sequel to Trigger and a shitty game in its own rights.

Magna Carta: Tears of Blood. If you've never suffered through it, count yourself lucky.

Chrono Cross is TOTALLY better than Trigger, and I would have to say the Morowind or Oblivion is the worst RPG EVAR!

Also, forums are dead and no one goes there.

I just posted something in the gaming section, maybe if more people went to read it, it'd be more active.

- Metal Dungeon (XBox)
- Eye of the Beholder III (PC)
- Secret of the Stars (SNES)
- Beyond the Beyond (PSX)
- Paladin's Quest (SNES)

Those are just some pretty awful ones that stand out for me. Of course you could dig up a list of all the NES, Master System, SNES, Genesis RPGs, and handheld rpgs and pretty much throw a dart at the list and hit a stinker. PC has had plenty of god awful RPGs as well, but I assume you're talking about JRPGs only.

Mentok is *mostly* right.

*Chrono Cross is as good as Chrono Trigger, just different. I thought Oblivion was really boring.

Anyone ever play the Lunar game for DS? *shudder*

Final Fantasy 12. The rip off combat from MMORPGs made me snore, and ruined what was looking to be a great story.

Oh well.

Beyond the Beyond is pretty fucking horrendous. Can't think of anything worse, but I'm sure I'm just suppressing the memories. I fucking hate Secret of Evermore, too.

Halycon Blaze II (though III was pretty bad)

I agree with many of these, except for the "man, make a blog" post.

1.) I am not a man, and if you, man, took three seconds to read my bio instead of being an ass, you'd know that.

2.) This is the latest post in what I hope is a blog with a decent amount of commentary and content.

3.) The forums tend to be dead.

4.) It's my goddamn blogspace and if I want to use it this way and you don't like it, don't read it.

That is all.

Also, Hydlide.

The Evolution games were pretty horrendous. Even knowing that, I still like them for nostalgic reasons.

I like pretty much any RPG though so I may be a bad guy to ask.

Oh and also, Mentok is mostly right.
