FRIDAY THE 13TH

eternalplayer2345

red steel, I mean it's not the worst game ever but since it was a launch title I was hyped up for the wii and I put it and play a frustrating pile of **** tainting my new shiny wii.

MrSadistic

Iron & Blood for the Playstation. Wow what a horrible piece of crap.

Merry Ho

I did it, I know I shouldn't have, I was warned, I tried playing Dr, Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES.
-Horrible controls
-it was Difficult to play
-no story

Take it back, take it back...I don't want to know it anymore...

the GAMEGOBLIN

I think we can all come to an agreement on Space Giraffe. Seriously, it's a "game" (and i use the word game loosely) that actually deserves this title.

Bizznet

Amagon for the NES.

Fronz

PS, if you don't "get" the post picture up top, then watch the video i link to in the 'Desert ET Atari' text at bottom of article. i'm too lazy to look it up on snopes, did they actually find those atari cartridges in the music video? or was it faked? i think i remember hearing the incident was actually real, but they poured cement over them all so that they could never be dug up... anyone know the truth to the whole story>

BoeVice

This is the easiest question I've been asked.

Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness for the Playstation 2

catsithx

No the worst game I have evry palyed was fist of the north star for the nes. God what a awful game that was. I was just getting into anime at the time and I thought it would be a cool game to get ... eeeeeeworng answer it was a craptastic game. ugh that game sucked poor graphice game play blew lets not takl about the poor music in it aldo tied for frist was Dragonlance cronicles for the Nes baclliy the same gripe butalso I had no idea what the hell was going on in that game I thought it would be a rpg but man it tried to be some kind of action adventure game whic falied onso many levels. Thoses of you who said Friday the 13th was a bad game never played the 2 I mentioned pray you never do.:(

Vongore

Well, i could say the whole bunch of bad games on existence, but the worst game i've ever played is ActRaiser 2, for the SNES. As the first was an epic masterpiece by Enix, the second was.. well awful, i totally regret making my dad go to buy that game on it's launch date. CURSE YOU CLUB NINTENDO (a.k.a Latin American Nintendo Power)

animateria

Hm...

I haven't played much shitty games in the past.

I guess thats why I always had a blast.

.....

Uh, it rhymed? That was a total accident.

I think.

I registered just to say Final Fantasy 12. I don't think it's the worst game ever made or anything, but it's certainly the worst game I've ever put more than 10 hours of my life into (90 thank you very much).

It was terrible in nearly every respect. The plot had promise but went absolutely nowhere, and it abandoned the political overtones of Tactics for utter nonsense. The characters were paper-thin and consistently annoying. The combat was uneventful, boring, and completely uninvolving. The dungeons lacked any character or real designs. They felt randomly generated, even though they weren't. The summons were worthless (in terms of in-game utility and in terms of presentation/graphics). The customization scheme, instead of creating opportunities for specialization, was designed too badly to succeed, and, instead, it made the most sense to create a full team of powerful, tanking, melee/magic, skillful jacks of all trades.

I kept going because it was Final Fantasy. It had to turn around somewhere. At some point the plot would open up. At some point, the summons would matter. At some point, the dungeons would be more interesting. At some point, the towns would feel more alive. But everything was a constant disappointment. As a fan of FF ever since I beat the first one one the original NES at the age of 7, I can't believe how terrible FF12 was. I mean, God, I didn't really like 2 (the Japanese one for the NES, not the brilliant FF 4) or 8 either, but FF12 takes the cake.

God. Awful. Game.

I think every gaming website which reviewed it well should chip in to get me by money back.

superbeefy2050

Superman64. I rented it from Blockbuster thinking, hey it has the best superhero ever in it. I got to the first level where you had to fly through some rings and was like "fuck this shit".
-Horrible graphics, even for the n64
-Was does Superman have to fly through rings?
-Why cant I use his powers at the very beginning?

The one good thing I can say about it is I didn't buy it.

Rockvillian

Batman Forever for the SNES.

crap crap crap.

TrailerParkJesus

I just looked through my small library. The worst thing I got (which I didn't play for long because it was that horrible) is San Fransisco Rush for Playstation.

Tromboned

joe and mac. i was very young, and oh SO dissapponted. the game was so easy and short.. not worth the 60 or 70 dollar pricetag of the cartridges at the time. SNES.

coming in at a close second was the star wars empire strikes back snew game. might have been a different title, but i remember being so pissed at that game.

IceMax

I've had the misfortune of actually playing the Et Atari game once, and got stuck in less than 5 minutes. the worst game i have played for more that laughs for 5 minutes was yars revenge, that gmae made me want to hurt things because it sucked so badly

Tristero

This is kind of an unoriginal example, but Total Recall for the NES blew goats.

pendelton21

OH, hands-fucking-down, Mario is Missing! I played that game for 5 minutes before I threw down my controller. How dare they sneak education into my video games!!!

glandseck

Probably an unpopular pick, but I'm going to go with "Lord of the Rings: The 3rd Age". It wasn't terrible in the technical sense that E.T. was. It had some production value. It wasn't exceptionally buggy or ugly. This is the only game, however, that managed to actually offend and disgust me.

What is the point of just walking down one big hallway? No villages, the only forks in the road only stray into dead ends 20 yards farther, simply to offer you a chest that has crap in it that you don't care about.

The game had only three ingredients: Run in a hallway, random battle, or clumsy cutscene. Thanks a whole lot, EA. You've ruined my taste for RPG's. I couldn't touch another one for years, up 'til Lost Odyssey.

Seriously, EA, fuck you.

Xerosnake90

Drake of the 99 dragons sucks, horribly. Only one I can think of about the moment.

Video Cognito

@killias2:

FFXII's battle system was uninvolving, yet it involved the most participation in a main FF title thus far? Hmm...

Guagloves

Ninja Bread Man, Revolution X

Mighty183

M & M's Kart Racing for DS.
I saw a trailer for the Wii version which was slow paced, but had Voice over quotes "Approaching Sound Barrier!" and it looked so funny.
I bought the DS version second hand just so I could show my friends how funny it was. However the DS version had no voices and it sucked even more....

On a side note Speed Racer DS is amazingly good.

Teta

Bubsy 3d is the worst game ever made.
You couldn´t define what was floor, what was not floor, you couldn´t see anything. Just some really, really, really horrible pixels that i supose where Bubsy.
I swear i felt sick after playing it for like 5 minutes.

Black Mage Slim

Superman 64. Although, I did own Final Fantasy Mystic Quest...

I have to vote that too.

Doomtrain

ODT, on the PSone.

Shit on a shit sammich, covered in shit, served with a side of shit and a nice tall glass of shit with shitcubes.

ElfShotTheFood

- Daikatana (obvious choice, but it really was awful)
- Bad Day LA
- Simpsons Wrestling
- Total Recall (NES)

niacin

It probably ain't the worst game ever made but since I got it as a birthday present I had to pretend I liked it and that made it hurt all the more. What game caused me so much pain.

Glover for the N64.

NegFactor

How terrible...I owned eleven of the games mentioned thus far on this list that have been voted upon by people here. Moreover, I beat more than half of the ones that I owned from said list.

You know...in terms of gameplay mechanics and generally fucked up ideals...

I'm going to have to give it to Deadly Towers. Another game which I've owned and beaten. But I seriously think that it was one for the books.

All of you who hate FT13, clearly do not appreciate the prospect of killing off your own counselors. You only need one, and it's totally worth it if you kill Jason enough times to get the Pitchfork. :P

TheHunter234

Superman 64. I just couldn't figure out how to make the fucking thing work. Poor Jimmy or whoever it was got hit by that truck like a dozen times before I finally gave up.

NSNick

Definitely Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Fuck that "game". I think it's actually a vile experiment on children masquerading as a video game.

loki d20

The only one that comes to mind right now is Superman Returns for the DS. What an atrocious game, with the bosses being the easiest part of the game all the way through and other situations being random and oftentimes very difficult to accomplish and even when accomplished with only seconds left in the game. Even worse is that much of it doesn't make sense in regards to Superman's powers, or the switching between the lack thereof.
