OK. I've had enough of your little pop guns. Time to bring out the WMD.

Also known as


A.P.B.

Cops 'n' robbers MMO that included customisation and vehicles. Except the vehicle physics were so ropy you couldn't get going properly. Got shut down before the end of the free period I got in the game.

A$$ water of the first distillation. If I recall correctly, even the reboot fell flat on it's face!

H.A.W.X 2. The original was great fun, the sequel was appalling. Ropy graphics, dodgy controls, and stupid mechanics (like having to refuel after a mission...UGH).

I won't hear anything said against Bayonetta, Darksiders or Rage though. Bayonetta is the most fun I've had on a game for a long time, Darksiders is like a really fun, well drawn interactive comic, and Rage has some of the best gunplay and graphics I've ever seen.

I'll third starcraft II, enjoyed the campaign enough one time but there was just so little changed from the first game and little to encourage re playability beyond new portraits

spore - Could have been a brilliant game if done correctly. Dumbed down hugely and made into a quasi-collectible game at the end.

Far cry 1 and 2 - What the HELL was I thinking. Probably the most irritating games I have played. Yay for healthbar generic game with unrealistic weapons and cars.

Ummmm, a tough one this. I have an awful track record when it comes to games.

Daikatana has to be up there, closely followed by The Lawnmower Man on the Megadrive and hot on the heels of that particular stinker there was Ultimate Soccar (also on the Megadrive) and finally I'd have to say Assasins Creed. Awful beyond the ken of mortal man.....

It had the same problems that every preceding MMO had, primarily focused on the existence of a grind. Though, really, every MMO I've ever played has been awful. Chat rooms with graphics, basically.

That was mining. Try PVE or PVP. No spreadsheets, just killing and looting (looting optional but advised).

Hey! "Return of the King" and "The Third Age" were awesome!
The Third Age was the only turn based strategy game that I've enjoyed (apart from Worms)

Far Cry 1 had a major problem in that it was supposed to be a stealth shooter, but the enemies could spot you a mile away and hit you with pin point accuracy, kinda like the first ghost recon actually

"Hey this is a cool ga-" Takes an AK round to the head 100 meters from the starting point on the first level

Guild Wars 2 (pre order = beta) actually got a refund for it as it sucked that much much.

Nice one Phototoxin.

Final Fantasy 13.

Way to kill my childhood

Final Fantasy 14

Cannerus_The_Unbearable wrote:Pokemon Snap. Kinda self-explanatory.

I liked Pokemon snap, I never bought it but 3 years ago i found a copy of it when we were moving the electronics section of the store around. Snagged it for free along with a copy of Legacy of Goku II on the GBA.

Anyways, worst game purchase might be Civilization V because I paid full price for it. I got Hunted: The Demon's Forge for $10 bucks so even though it sucked it wasn't too much of a waste.

Haze... Sure, it was $10, but I still regret that purchase.

And I am going to come out and say it: I liked Brink.

Red Faction Armageddon.

I was uneasy of them taking the setting underground after Red Faction Guerrilla. Sure, they had the nice destruction engine but most of the game was underground. Not much to really destroy in small caverns.

Plus Sy-fy thought they needed to write a story for the game. That was probably the biggest downfall. Only sy-fy could write a worse story than Red Faction guerrilla.

bullet witch, my dad got it for my birthday jjust because the witch apparently looked like amy lee.
he might as well have spat on my childhood...

also tomb raider anniversary and underworld.
and finally my least favourite the family guy game on ps2,
that was the day i lost faith in mankind

I absolutely loved borderlands. How far did you get?

Basically this.
Spore's Civilization stage was probably the best part. Space Stage. NEEDED THAT.
I wanted a fleet. Not one ship!
I wanted to rule the gaxaly but instead I got one stupid ship taking over one planet every 10 minutes. FETH THAT.
So I unlocked cheats and started blowing up every planet i landed on.

Phantasy Star...

Worst dialogue writing and acting that I've ever seen.

Final Fantasy X.2

I see a lot of people saying FFXIII, but I really couldn't get that far in the franchise.

Twisted Metal (2012). Holy monkey f%^$ was that a let-down.

EvE Online. Back when it costed like $49.99 to download/buy at the store. I can honestly say I learned more about economics and finance from this game than college.

Just about any game I had on the Gamecube.

Uhh, why? My views are obviously skewed because I bought it for 3 dollars in a STEAM sale (Im a PC gamer mostly), and I though the campaigns were awesome for the short time they lasted. Also a very difficult game, but quite fun. And the Alien campaign was different from what you'd see in most FPS games. All in all, an okay game, but not the best out there.

Heck, even Battle for Middle Earth was a decent RTS. ALso LOTR online is pretty awesome.

IIRC the AVP game for the original xbox (Extinction?) was a poorly rated strategy title in the vein of C&C - assuming that's the one that GD was referring to - and not the quality FPS of similar title.

Oh yes I was referring to the FPS lol. Yes the FPS is quite awesome, especially because it was only 3 dollars Nobody seems to play the multiplayer anymore though, which is the main reason I got the game.

Worst game..


Diablo 3 i would say, felt like i threw $50 out the window.

Final Fantasy 14 was bad.


I got saved from posting GW2 on here as one, friend already made that mistake and got stuck with it.

I'm normally very picky when it comes to video games, so I'm not disappointed very often....but this game was nothing but garbage. I'll always consider this my worst purchase

I have to agree with Diablo 3, never got bored so fast with a 50 dollar game.

C&C 4 tibiran twilight- it was terrable- No base building (the main aspect of C&C games of ANY kind EVER) the leveling up to get the units needed to get anywhere in the campaign. EA- stop trying to fit COD/BF3 into everything, RTS GAMES SHOULD NOT HAVE LOCKED UNITS IN MULTIPLAYER OR ANY OTHER MODE EVER!!!!

when the AI has better units than you do its fething impossible to enjoy a game

Your gonna hate end of nations, lol.
