Your single worst game that you have ever played and finishe

Post » Sun May 13, 2012 10:13 am

Probably Far Cry 2. The missions were horribly repetitive, the gunplay was bad, travelling everywhere and having to deal with respawning enemy checkpoints was a chore and the buddy system wasn't great either. Despite all that I ended up finishing the game. The ending was terrible too, you do something really stupid and the reason for doing it is really contrived.

That's a difficult question since I tend to either play through the whole game and like it or ragequit/get bored and stop playing.

I think I'll have to go with counter-strike: condition zero's single-player campaign. It was just the cs maps with objectives like: kill 3 with the magnum sniper. There was no story and the bots are atrocious, there is even a button to admit defeat that I actually had to use since the bots would sometimes get stuck on terrain. Other times I'd be at the wrong bombsite yet the bots would wait for me to defuse the bomb while standing next to the bloody thing. The deleted scenes part seems to be an entirely different game that I haven't finished yet though, seems more like an half-life-mod than counter-strike.

Second would be mass effect 2, at some points the story was so bad that at the end I didn't even bother trying to find sidequests, I just wanted the thing to be over with so I could play something else.

One last thing that annoys me is repeating end-credits, I usually watch those out of respect to those who made the game and it is very frustrating to sit for like 15 minutes and then realize that the job titles you've been seeing have already been mentioned before.

1. Divinity 2 Ego Draconis- Terrible, absolutely terrible worst game I've ever played. Only cool thing is transforming into a Dragon, other then that it's a mindless Hack and Slash not to mention it's bug filled due to Lamebryo, yes it used Lamebryo, Beth isn't the only one to have used that engine only the most famous group. Not to mention the rest of it's elements is horrible, no level mention on the enemies, experience being used just to read minds and doing it doesn't give you much reward, terrible combat that was a mindless Hack and Slash, etc.

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.

3. Fable 3- I actually like Fable 3 but from a game standpoint it's horrible, not to mention no challenge at all.

4. Fable 2- Same reason as number 3.

5. Lost Odyssey- An incredibly boring game that's only good for 2 things, good music (Umetasu) and good graphics (Unreal Engine 3).

I don't finish playing games I don't like, I just stuff them away in a drawer.

I thought Counter-Strike: Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes was "so bad it's good" though.

Time travel? I meant 2...

But 3 is... I don't even... :tongue:

If ME2 is one of the worst games you've ever played, ME2 is one of the only games you've ever played.

As for worst game I've finished... I rarely finish bad games. I think the worst I've finished would have to have been Wolverine's Revenge. I was about to say Oblivion just to troll the kiddies, but Wolverine's Revenge was clearly worse, even if I thought Oblivion's primary campaign was ass.

No I have played many games... too many in fact. Disapointment+bad game=worst game ever. It was only number 2 after all. I tend to try and play a game that I will like.

Edit: It is games you've played start to finish, many games that are really bad I don't even bother finishing like CoD black ops for example.

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. :P

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.

Rogue Warrior, not sure why I decided to finish the game when all it did was make me rage in what was a poor game to begin with for reasons such as it's a typical FPS, poor story, mediocre stealth play, and was a run of the mill shooter like much of the game market.

I have to say Halo 3. Don't get me wrong I liked the game but after playing Halo 2 I was expecting to bounce around playing as the Arbiter and Master Chief. To me H3 felt to short of a game.

Neverwinter Nights (the vanilla campaign). Have had a personal grudge against that game ever since.

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.

It was the same way with Amnesia: The Dark Descent, but that game was great.

One day, I intend to play Deus Ex Invisible War for more than 3-5 hours.

I played through this recently. It's not a bad games in it's own right, it's just that compared to the original, it's nothing. It felt that there was more content in just the first hub of the original DE than in all of Invisible War.

:huh: I love Ego Draconis, it's one of my favourite games. I guess I like the way Gamebryo looks and I found both the progression and combat to be rather enjoyable; I'm not sure where you got the idea that mindreading was the only advancement. The story was also reasonably interesting and the ambience was very well done. These things do tend to be quite subjective, though.

This, if you really didn't like ti you wouldn't have finished it. FOr me, I've completed bad games, but they weren't neccesarily bad, I mean they were good enough for em to spend the time and at least enjoy iy to a degree, otherwise I wouldn't have beat it.

MOst FPS campaigns, Blops, MW2 etc.. are examples of bad games that I beat, but they are still enjoyable. MW3 is good though, it wraps everything up and brings back the memories.

Fable 3. Terrible UI, being king was completely underwhelming, shorter than the first two games, and even easier than Fable 2. At least in Fable 2 I got KOed once by the Commandant in the Spire. I never got KOed at all in Fable 3.

Final Fantasy X-2. In retrospect, the game really isn't that bad. It's got a fun combat system and nice music. And it's story probably isn't so bad just on its own. But. It followed Final Fantasy X and I was hoping it would shed some light on what happened after that game (and Tidus). But it really didn't and that made it so disappointing.

Black Ops CoD Campaign.


Agreed. That was just awful.
Care to explain why? I'm not a big fan of the Call of Duty series (although the first two games were fantastic) but I don't get all this hate towards their single player campaigns.

I think that the problem is that most people approach the game with unrealistic expectations. It's not an open world game, it's a linear cinematic shooter. Everyone saying that the game was bad because it was all scripted or because they hit some invisible walls are not being fair.

Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

If you played the game expecting something that didn't look like it was just a bunch of random tom clancy storylines mashed together then your expectations were wrong. If someone buys Skyrim expecting a fantasy multiplayer game then they are of course going to be disappointed.


I personally had a lot of fun with the campaign in MW3. It had a nice selection of weapons and gadgets and it managed to keep me on the edge of my seat the entire time. It's not a game that I would play again, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it due to its story and setting, but I had fun playing it.

It's the same problem Doom 3 had. It makes me facepalm every time people complain about the scripted scenes and that it was a "corridor-shooter". Did they really expect anything else? Did they not play the first games?

Because you keep thinking. "It gets better right ?" Especilly when it has enough people praising it.

Which reminds me, I finished SC conviction. That can replace borderlands actually. Concivtion was just terrible, not a SC game at all.
