Your single worst game that you have ever played and finishe

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 10:06 am

Ok I have been reccomended the game, but played the demo. How good is the demo at representing the full game ?

I would not know, honestly the game is pretty cheap in the first place. I think its worth a try, but look for Dragon Knight Saga, it comes with a remaster Ego Draconis and the sequel to it, Flames of Vengence

Eternal Sonata. Music was decent but nothing about it really impressed me. Or entertained me, for that matter. Although, I'll admit the combat was pretty good up until I completely figured it out. Then it got super-repetitive.

Oh I knew that. But for that price I could likely buy another game, like Rage.

Borderlands. Lets see, boring environments, filled with the same enemies, and it dosent have colours aside from brown, a bit of grey... More brown. Until the end, white.
Boasting its loot system, only to have me kill big bandits, just to get a weapon that does +1% more damage, guns just feel the sme, rockets svck.
3 or so NPCs to talk to, who give you kill X or find X quests.

Now maybe im biased because I didnt play with other people, maybe that makes it playable. But it seemed to have very little effort put in.
Online had what seemed to be an HIV-like virus. If you played online with someone who had it, you would get the annoying glitch which would mess up your whole file.

I wouldn't recommend it.

Lets see... Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon. Definitely Pokemon: Mystery Dungeon. Worst part about it? I bought the sequel and played through it too. Maybe some games on my old PS1, mostly because I had no memory card and had to restart every time I wanted to play. I would have to master the entire game piece by piece every session, and then finally finish it in one sit down, where I would generally leave the Playstation on overnight.. Oh, God Spyro, why did you have to collect so many damn eggs?

Probably Geist for the Gamecube. Or Shadow Warrior, though that was actually pretty good, just terrible.

Its because of 12 year old kids using mods to make one shot repeaters and Rose-Omega shields.

There isn't much to discuss. Dungeon Siege, from my memory of it, was quite a long game. It wasn't some console adventure game that you could spend a weekend on and blow through. If you didn't like the game, you'd quit well before the end.
I think I went though it 10 to 15 hours, though that was what, ten years ago? :blink: Anyways, 10 hours is chump change when you're a kid with nothing but time! I remember expecting it to get better... and it never did.

It was kind of amusing to find out you could boot the main character from the party and pick up someone else. And I thought Dungeon Siege II was awesome, so there you go.

I thought that title went to ET?

To ET's credit, however, it did not plagarize and steal half of its content from other games. :P

Probably the Dungeons and Dragons: Eye of the Beholder remake for Game Boy Advance. That's not to say I don't enjoy it, but of all the games I've played through to the end, this one was the most lacking.

2. Dungeon Siege III- This game is an absolute joke and terrible, not even 12 hours long and most of it is incredibly tedious. This should be a blueprint as to how you don't kill off a ressurected franchise.
I've never played it, and I don't want to. I loved the original and expansion probaly as much as Morrowind, and I liked the second game. But everything I've heard about Dungeon Siege III is disheartening. Even when it's not bad it's upsetting because they threw out just about everything that I loved about the original.

I do too :P
Sure its not a high end game, but I still enjoyed it. it was different.

I remember that name! :P

Dunno, I've never played the demo. It does seem to be quite a divisive game in terms of whether or not people like it, so it's up to you if you take that risk.

Dragon Age II, hands down. I consider it just awful. Very much potential for the plot and IMO rather nice dialogue but it was quite ruined by the abominable gameplay and completely pointless fetch quests which most certainly do not fit such a linear game. There was also no mystique, which I loved in DA:O.

Its not the worst game I have played, its just bad becuase it turned something good, with potential, into a dull tps.

Rather than being a dull Bioware-by-numbers RPG.

That's a hard question.

Unreal II is a game I always wanted to finish. Many attempts throughout the years, it just doesn't work.

Battlefield Bad Company 2. A cutscene every 2 seconds. The worst FPS experience I have ever had. I would have liked it without those cutscenes, probably.

Jedi Academy. I remember my distaste. Can't remember the details. It has to do with moral choices or something.

Far Cry and The Thing are not bad games, actually they are pretty good games for the most part. Far Cry gets unimaginable hard at end game and ruins everything, one would wonder if they have level scaling or something. The Thing promised dynamic team management, it was as linear as it gets. I watched my team's annihilation because they didn't board the elevator with me, they all died or transformed in key points making everything I did obsolete. This ruins otherwise an amazing game.

The single worst game that I have ever played and finished from end to end. I haven't finished it yet. I am reserving that title for :obliviongate:


I've never kept playing a game I don't like. Modern Warfare 2 was pretty crappy, sure, but it wasn't painful to play, and for a rental it was good being able to finish it before it needed returning I guess.

Worst games I've played? Dead Space (PC), never played it on console, but the PC port has such shoddy mouse controls I had to turn it off pretty much instantly.
Dead Space is an amazing game, one of my favorites. I like the limited controls as it creates tension, I still fixed it though.

The fixes I followed were, disabling Vsync in game and forcing it in nvidia control panel with triple buffering. That fixed the mouse issues for me.

Here is a youtube video that might help for ATI users.

I recommend the sequel Dead Space 2(which improves on aiming and other things) and movies too:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1267379/ (Watch it after chapter 7 in Dead Space)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1711366/ (Watch it before Dead Space 2)

Dragon Age 2. You know a game is bad when you have to literally force yourself to continue playing and force yourself to visit every nook and cranny and waste time just to find nothing.
i personaly havn't played the second dragon age but i found it exactly the same on the first game... i was disapointed when i couldnt roam around doing side quests after the actual game aswell :(

I get annoyed when you get to continue after the main game in RPG's. It makes the main questline and the story of your character meaningless if there isn't an end. Also whenever I finish an RPG and I enjoy it enough, I'll start again with a different type of character. This makes continuing after the end meaningless from my perspective.

Definitely Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, made worse by the fact that I had just finished the superior 3 a few days before. Literally every action each character took was moronic, and to date, it's the only game that's caused me physical pain (thanks to an insane button-mash).

Usually I don't finish a game that's bad.

So I have to say Fallout 3, its the only game I consider bad that I have actually finished.

Battlefield Bad Company 2.

I thought I'd try to get into the whole FPS scene, since so many people seem to like it so much. Turns out most FPS games don't have compelling single player anymore. I didn't beat it because I really wanted to or because I was having fun. I beat it because I could. Also to justify spending $5 on Steam for it. :tongue:

Generally I don't finish games unless I really like them or really want to, and I rarely play games that I feel are outright bad. Bad Company 2 wasn't bad, it was just kind of bland.
You bought a Battlefield game for the singleplayer? WTH?

Borderlands, usually i dont finish a game i dont like, but i thought it might get better, it didnt, but it taught me to never persist with games im not liking, which then led me to brink installed it, 15 minutes, uninstalled it.
