What is the WORST game you've ever played in your life?
(1/9) > >>
Mitsuhide:
The title is pretty self explanatory. Which game was so bad that you questioned the meaning of life itself? Take into account that you might happen to be a person that has only played average to good games, but from those, which one do you like the least?

Mine is definetely Techno Cop, on Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. I was looking forward to playing this game. An action platformer with gore and stuff. Looked cool. But god, what an abomination. Not only the graphics are bland, but pretty much everything is just bad. There is only one music track in the whole game, the one that plays on the title screen. The rest of the game is silent, just sound effects.


And the gameplay is horrible. You're a cop and you have to either catch a bunch of punks or blowing up their torsos (it is less fun than it sounds). Bjt first, you have to do a pointless driving scene to get to the apartment the punks and their boss are located. And when you get there, you have like 2 minutes to defeat the boss. The apartment is a maze, ao good luck finding him. Not to mention, the regular enemies appear out of the blue, giving you little time to react. And both the gun to catch them and the gun to blow stuff up are extremely delayed, specially the former. On top of that, each enemy takes several hits to kill, so you're going to lose health either way.



But don't worry if you don't catch the boss, you just continue to the next stage. Not even the developers gave a damn wether you completed a stage or not.
But the game is called Techno Cop. I don't know why I expected it to be any good.

Garlyle:
Lunar: Dragon Song.

Unironically the worst game I have ever played.

There are games out there which I have played which have been horrible but you can see at least some semblance of good ideas or plot points or something where you're like "okay, that might have been cool if it was better executed" or something.  Hell, even Sonic '06, for its universally reviled nature, had a few of these.

But no, Lunar DS was irredeemable.  I suffered through it out of nothing more than raw boredom over a summer.  It was nothing but grinding (and then repeating that grinding for money instead because you either got gold OR exp from enemies what the hell), then some completely unremarkable sidequests, then more grinding, then maybe a new environment that's just as uninspired as the others, and then characters that are completely flat and unremarkable...
and then an ending so spectacularly disappointing it was like a final punch in the face.  Spoiler: After an unwinnable boss fight against the antagonist halfway through the game... the final boss is actually his pet demon.  You kill the demon, his castle starts collapsing, and he falls to his death instead of actually getting a fight with you.

Do not play this game.

I don't care how much you like bad games.  This isn't even a bad game that's got entertaining facets.  This is literally just nothing but pulling teeth the entire time for absolutely nothing resembling a payout, genuine or ironic.

Your Everyday NEET:
For Touhou it's Touhou soccer. It's not a bad game per se. It's very very difficult, you need to understand all the mechanics and stats in order to even stand a chance and even then, the A.I it's brutal. They cheat like bitch, the RNG sides with them, in story mode, they have better player overall. It's THE first game to make me legitimately says F-bomb. I still regret playing it.

For non-Touhou it's Mimana Iyar Chronicle for PSP. I bet you don't even know what it is. Well, it's just your average, everyday JRPG with a bland protagonist and his harem (yes, really). The battle itself is just bland action-RPG unlike tales series, you can only control the main character, there's little enemy variety, the skill is bad, the battle music is bland and many more. The RPG I played now (the Gray Garden) is more colorful than this. Apparently, they blew all their budget for the VA. The main character is voiced by Johnny Yong Bosch (yes, really) Kung Jin's VA. And that's also the reason I played it. Yeah, I'm stupid.
