Worst Games of All Time

[newsuperhackboys]

So this is a topic about one of the worst games you played ever. You discuss about them here. Please note before posting:
Explain exactly why the game is bad. Don't just show a screenshot.

Well anyway, the worst game I ever played is LEGO Star Wars II on the DS. So if you ever played LEGO Star Wars II, it is a sequel to the game LEGO Star Wars. The Video Game. I really love the LEGO Games and the sequel is a little better I guess. However one flaw most LEGO games have is that someone has to port them on the DS or GBA. And when they ported LEGO Star Wars II on the DS, they kind of gave an insult to the home console versions of the game.

Hud Glitching out on the bottom screen in Free Play, Bartender Character can float for some reason, glitches you can do in Free Play, Game Crashes with Extras, Bosses seem impossible sometimes, etc. The game could best be called LEGO Glitch Wars II. I thought Nintendo Seal of Quality was here! There is also a SandBox level where it seems rushed. It feels more like a test room than a real level.

The levels themselves are boring. I don't know why they couldn't just remodel the home console versions of the levels and make them DS styled (BTW I am not a DS Developer so maybe it is impossible?). LEGO Star Wars. The Complete Saga DS did it right after this game and made levels that acted similar. The glitches just like Sonic 06 are always a fun thing to mess around with. But why mess around when you have 3 movies to beat?

4/10 Plain Bad

So yeah that was a long rant. Post your least favorite games in the posts below!

oh man, the worst game I've ever played...

It would have to be Super Combo Man.

It's basically a sidescrolling platformer Beat-em-up of sorts, where you control this completely random Hawaiian man and his annoying talkative fanny pack. Pretty much no character or any relatable backstory is involved, either, so you're off to a great start already.

The combos themselves are kinda janky to pull off, and platforming segments are weird, but the real icing on the cake are these very noticeable details in the gameplay - Enemies that you knock down after a set combo don't have get-up animations - they just teleport right back up ready to throw a punch immediately on frame 1. You can imagine how frustrating this got.

Probably the worst part was that there are no invincibility frames that I know of anywhere in the game. Not for you, or the enemies, with the exception of knocked down enemies (which then allows them to just get back up instantly, completely skipping get-up animations, and throw you off guard). Also, to my knowledge I don't think there's any guarding buttons of any kind. Which is pretty terrible.

also the tutorial's incomplete I think, but I could be wrong on that one.

Basically doesn't really have any charm to it whatsoever.

But Bubsy 3D was my childhood...

Probably the worst I've played was GL Golf on the iOS. It's too hilarious to spoil.

Oh man, it might actually be worse than Bubsy 3D!

[KABOOM]

I usually avoid bad games, and when I do play them I'll often quit playing and eventually forget about them.

Worst game I've played all the way through is between Secret of Mana and Lufia: The Ruins of Lore, in the sense that while Lufia is probably the worst game I've played, I personally enjoyed Mana the least. If that makes any sense.

Oh, also: Chrono Cross. I played it cooperatively with a sibling, which is great because I don't think either of us would have had the strength of heart to finish it alone. Someone on this forum (I don't remember who) said they actually preferred it to Chrono Trigger, which is part of why we played in the first place. So, to that person: you're wrong, and how dare you inflict this on us.

EDIT: I didn't realize when I posted that I should actually explain why I don't like these games. I don't feel like doing that right now, but for now here's an incomprehensible boxed rant about Lufia 4.
EDIT2: Here's Chrono Cross.
EDIT3: Completing the set with Secret of Mana.

I'm probably really lucky that this is the worst game I've played but:
Fun Park Party on the Wii

The game itself is basically like Mario Party games and stuff, but with a bunch of RPG stuff throw in. And by RPG elements, i mean nothing but quests a map, and a bare-bones storyline. The entire game (in single player mode anyway) was just running about getting particular items from one side of the map to the other, most of which required particular minigames to be completed. This would be fine, except most of the minigames were rubbish. You like duck hunt? How about we take away your cursor and force you to manually reload. You like whack-a-mole? We'll make a delay between when you press a button and when the hammer moves on screen and make the moles ridiculously fast. As a bonus, we'll make 4 different versions of each sort of game set in different places, because we're too lazy to change anything! I can only remember 2 that were half descent, and those were pretty much identical but set in different environments! The ending was possibly the worst part. Even a minecraft map was better and more exciting than it! Basically, a theme park broke down and was replaced with a new more 'exciting' one and it become your job to restore the old one by going through a huge chain of quests, which ultimately ended in you needing to (you guessed it) beat a really high score on a crappy mini game. And you had to do this 8 times! It put together the worst parts of both types of games and ended up being horrible. Multi-player mode wasn't much better either. Instead of running around completing boring quests and playing bad minigames, you were just playing bad minigames. Half of them were even unavailable with any more than 2 players! Even worse, the game was stuffed with glitches! Sometimes the game would freeze for no apparent reason. Sometimes you got stuck inside terrain and couldn't get out. At one point I even remember glitching my way through to a secret area only available in the late game. This might sound fun, but it was terrible. Everything in there only activates once you actually meet the requirements to get in there officially so there was nothing to do at all, and I couldn't get out again, which meant I had to undo 45 minutes of progress. In the end, I just gave up and threw the game in the trash. I didn't even bother selling it because I knew that anyone who wanted it would demand a refund within 48 hours. Worst wii game ever made.

I remember my parents thought I wasn't being "active" enough and I was forced to buy a game called Flingsmash. The only reason I personally agreed to buying it was because it came with a Wii Remote.

Now, you probably don't like the autoscrolling stages from Mario. Now imagine if every level was this and with terrible motion control physics.
Basically it's a version of knockout that is sidescrolling and if you stay behind the screen at ANY point you lose a life. To complete a level, you need 3 pearls from the stage. There are about 4 or 5 in each stage. This would regularly not be a problem if you could go back and collect them separately in different runs of a level, but you have to get all 3 you are getting at ONCE. They also have absurdly difficult hiding places. And for some reason, worlds 3 and 4 have these weird mechanics where in world 3 you turn into metal, and in 4 you turn tiny. World 3 ended up being my favorite world, but 4 is my most hated. The metal mechanics allow you to use magnets and the like but mini mechanics include not being able to break the most regular level of blocks. The game is strait up easy and the "story" put into place is worse than a regular Mario game. The princess is cursed and sick, and the main character is let out of some sort of sacred chest. You'll end up forgetting the story by the end of the game, as there is no development whatsoever, but she's perfectly fine afterwards and the main character gets a kiss, which the instruction manual that comes with the chest says not to kiss him. This is literally the story. There's also another character to play as which is just a slightly altered version of the other one. I haven't even mentioned the controls yet. It's like tennis but if your racket had a giant hole in the center with only the metal parts around it to hit a tennis ball with. There are bosses, but they are very easy and you won't be dying to them much. It's barely a 2/10 for me.
Also, this is what the main character looks like


It's literally a tennis ball with hair and appendages.
