View Full Version : Worst Video Game you ever bought?
As the topic says, tell me the worst video game you ever purchased. It doesn't have to be limited to PS2, GameCube, or Xbox. It can range back to the NES, and even further back.
My worst video game would have to be Pokémon Snap for Nintendo 64. The point of the game was to take pictures of Pokémon. I mean, why would you do that? It's stupid, and I have no idea what possessed me to buy it.
Anyway, tell me your worst video game. :D

Hey, I liked Snap. Mostly 'cause I got to print the pictures off at Blockbuster. too bad Nintendo wasn't smart enough to package in a N64 Printer or something with the game. Now that'd have been cool.
I have 2.
1) Lost Kingdoms for GCN. It's okay, but the final boss is WAY too hard. You fight a semi boss, then right after that you have to fight the final boss. You use cards to fight, and you have to use most of them on the semi boss. I usually only have about 10 to face the final boss with. Total BS.
2) Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest for the SNES. Not that it's a bad game, but it freezes when I'm at the level before the ice palace. And I exchanged the game a few times to Gamers (used game shop, with no return policy), and each cart had the same problem.

Well...I didn't buy it actually, I gave my parents the money I had and asked when they were in Pueblo to check the used game stores for Sonic 3 or Sonic & Knuckles catridges. Of course those as I soon learned are EXTREMELY hard to find in the used stores even. They got me instead Sonic 3-D Blast cuz it was all they could find.... :dead:
That is by far the worst game I've ever played. Not that it was really bad game-wise, but I found the manueverability to be AWFUL and the graphics were so weird they almost made me sick (my eyes aren't the healthiest).
Just thinking of that game turns my stomach and hurts my eyes. I don't blame my parents though, they tried to find me the right game... :goofygri:
Other than that one, I can't really think of any games I bought or have I don't like.

I don't think you understand the concept of "side-scroller." A side-scroller is by definition the person you control moves to either the left or right to reach a certain goal. In Zelda, you could go up, down, left, or right. Zelda 2 barely even counts as a Zelda game because it was called Adventures of Link. That game sucked, anyway. Screw that game.

TMNT (the newest one) it's pretty crappy... I know they were trying to re-create that feeling of the old games, but I mean, why settle for **** when you can do so much more... I mean it was Konami... the people who brought us MGS. how dare they lay this filth before me!
Because they changed the logo of Konami, therefore there's assholes running the show now.

Thats every nerds dream. Doesn't mean they'll accept it. Gamers should unite and form their own company, seeing how every other company ***** on a cd and sells it for $70.
Good luck with that.
As for why crap keeps coming up, I think our standards are getting too high. Once 3D games came around, we thought it was the best thing ever. Now that they're just upgrading the 3D effects, we're expecting the best stuff ever. They can't provide innovation anymore. Therefore, Legend of Zelda and Metroid and games like that are the only things we find entertaining anymore. It's sad, but that's how it works around here nowadays.
guitardave
03-10-2004, 01:20 AM
what I meant, as to why crap keeps coming out, was why lame games and stunted gameplay keeps appearing in seemingly good games (the new TMNT game for example).
oh, and I need some opinions on this thing, should I base it off of the comics, new show, or old show, or just kinda make up my own thing involving randomly selected characters from each?
Again, standards are too high. We want something so spectacular, but they just can't provide. Even the Japanese can't come up with good stuff anymore. They're running out of ideas, and they know this.
guitardave
03-10-2004, 01:25 AM
yea, I agree... that's why they need younger people (me, for example) to help them come up with new ideas. I'm sure that they won't listen anyway. Why not make a game designed by the gamers for the gamers?
now I'm not sure that this has ever happened before, but maybe game developers should go to the public for ideas.
It would be a disaster, because they would ask the wrong people. They would have to really seek out the true gamers, like search the comic book stores and arcades. They wouldn't do it, though. They would ask any idiot on the street what they would want, and they would suggest a new Grand Theft Auto game, or another shooting game. Though the video game industry is thriving at the moment, the peak is only because of video games like Vice City and True Crime. Eventually everyone else will think the same way we do and expect a lot more out of the games. Eventually the video game industry will fall into some serious trouble.
Pretty messed up, huh?

On the comment about side-scrollers, IMO Sonic 3-D Blast just seemed like a lame attempt by Sega to make a cool 3-D game for the Genesis. If you think about how the game is laid out, its not REALLY enitrely 3-D, its just a wide roaming field of going up down and all around. Gack...hurts...to...think...of...those...awful..gr aphics... :dead: :lol:

There have a few good games that have come out recently that included alot of fun and innovation.
Viewtiful Joe
Animal Crossing
...ironically, they're all on the gamecube, which tends to be the most hated of the three consoles.
That's why I like Nintendo. While the other guys are trying to shove as much cool graphics and blood into a game as possible, Nintendo just makes games that are a BLAST to play.
Jeez...I can't come up with one! Of all of the awful games I've purchased and played, I can't come up with one to call the worst! This is sad.
The only game that's coming to mind is Ballz on SNES, and to tell the truth it wasn't even that bad. I'm thinking I must've blocked the really bad games from my memory. And Battletoads in Battlemaniacs wasn't awful, but I sure did hate it after the first two levels.
I wish they'd let me design a game. :)

I REALLY didn't like Hoshigami...but I won't say it was one of the worst games.
I WILL, however say that for Battle Hunter (PS) and Drakhen(not sure if I spelled that right....SNES). My GAWD...in Drakhen your character's only NON-AI commands where what they wore and what attack/weapon/whatever they were using. Thusly, most the time one of your characters would be doing something like standing turned AWAY from the fight as they lauched away thier fire balls. TERRIBLE.
There's also this WIERD area that looks like a bunch of arrows...sheesh...whatever yoy do, DON'T get near it! Why? Are their SUPER powerfull monsters that can kill you easily? Nope! But there are dragons that KEEP appearing EVER freakin' SECOND and telling you to go a certain way, and even if you are TRYING to go that way they don't leave you alone and it can take FOR-FREAKING-EVER to get outta there cause of it.

2. Steet Fighter: The Live-Action version, why the heck did they try to mix it with LIVE-ACTION? Mortal Kombat this ain't...
3. KNIGHT RIDER: I love the show, but did they have to RUSH this game? It had no redeeming features and what was originally promised for the game did'nt make it into the product

Agreed..Tetris is a fine game...haven't played it in a while but when I used to it could get quite addicting. The music gets annoying, but thats easy to remedy. I just have the old Gameboy version of it....great entertainment on the road...an essential.
Tetris is definitely one of the best games ever. Still as addicting as ever. Actually, i just played it this week.
Side-Scrolling still owns! That is why the gameboy advance TMNT game is like 100x's better than the console one and i own both. The console game was a huge let down if you ask me WAY to repetitive. Got old in less than 2 days.
And did you guys actually pay attention to the story line of Final Fantasy VII? I mean what the fudge are you guys talking about?
As for FFX-2, i actually prefered it over FFX. Probably though just for the different dress spheres which give u different techniques.
FFX-2 was one of the worst games I've ever played. I deserve an apology by SquareEnix.

Well I never owned 10 so I can't say I was too pissed about that, it was actually given to me by my friend who thought it was too horrible to finish. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good game, save for one thing: the main character is the biggest deuschbag (sp?) ever. I f***ing wanted to kill Tidus (pronounced Tee-dus) about 5 minutes into the game. I liked a lot of other things about the game, the battle system was great. But the lack of an overworld and leveling up, plus a sh**ty main character, was kind of detrimental to the game's quality in my opinion. I also don't like that the Final Fantasy games are going in this super-cool ultra-hip futuristic direction (XI and CC excluded). I truly prefer the more medival (sp?) setting like 6 or 9.

Well, I didn't like VIII too much but no FF game I know (VI-X that is) was near as bad as "horrible".

Well, FF1 was a classic, so it's always good (especially the PS remake). FF4 and 5 were pretty good too, original in their way. FF6 was the zenith of RPG gaming of all time. FF7 was good, and very addictive, but not as good as 6. 8 and 10 they were just trying too hard to be "cool and hip and with the times", so the games weren't good, and overly dark. 9 was good, a comeback to the original style, with all the midget character sprites and fantasy settings, but it really lacked a soul and played more like a revived corpse of FF4-6.
I just love Final Fantasy.

you guys are all nuts... :lol:
for the record:
* of course Jedi Power Battles sucks.... if you play it on Playstation.
* Castlevania 64 is one of the best N64 titles (not that it's saying much)
worst games I've bought/played:
Superman 62 (N64)
Banjo Kazooie (N64)
Wild Metal (Dreamcast)
Blue Stinger (Dreamcast)
any PS1/N64 era wrestling title
Young Indiana Jones (Genesis)
There are worse games but I haven't been suckered into playing them yet. ;)

Well I never owned 10 so I can't say I was too pissed about that, it was actually given to me by my friend who thought it was too horrible to finish. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good game, save for one thing: the main character is the biggest deuschbag (sp?) ever. I f***ing wanted to kill Tidus (pronounced Tee-dus) about 5 minutes into the game. I liked a lot of other things about the game, the battle system was great. But the lack of an overworld and leveling up, plus a sh**ty main character, was kind of detrimental to the game's quality in my opinion. I also don't like that the Final Fantasy games are going in this super-cool ultra-hip futuristic direction (XI and CC excluded). I truly prefer the more medival (sp?) setting like 6 or 9.
lmao, Actually The lack of Overworld and Tidus almost made me NOT like FFX. It took me awhile to get in to it, but the story eventually pulled me in, that and I liked alot of the other characters, Tidus the exception. I still Feel that 6 is the best Final Fantasy of the bunch, and probably always will be.
Man.. How anyone can dislike FFVII is beyond me.

Hehe I can't help it. I liked the characters of 8 more than anything about it though. (Especially Selphie... she's cute and likes to blow things up. that's right up my alley)
Understandable. I'm not one of those assholes that tries to say otherwise. Everyone has their own taste in video games (and a lot I don't agree with aka Vice City) and I don't intend on whining and complaining.
Final Fantasy is just sweet. Story.

N64 era wrestling title
WCW/NWO: World Tour, WCW/NWO: Revenge, Wrestlemania 2K, No Mercy = greatest wrestling games, ever. Oh, the fun times that were had. I remember one time in No Mercy, me and two of my buds had a triple threat ladder match that would not end. We all just kept beating the hell out of each other, and no one could get up the ladder. We finally stopped after, I guess 3 hours. Good times, good times.

Hell yes! Nothing says beauty like sticking a sword into a Redead!
I only like the Final Fantasies that came before FFVII. After it got off the SNES, I stopped paying attention to them. Just never struck me right again.
If I were to name the one game series that I am owned by, it would Star Fox. Oh yes. Star Wars with anthros? Excellent. Blowing up giant brains in your free time? Even better!
Wrestling games aren't games. They're like sports games, the same game over and over with updated stats, but if that's what you like...

Actually, they had new features, better story modes, and they up the CAW details, and sometimes they rehaul the engine/change the gameplay. It's not just updated stats/people.

Which is why they should've just had Street Fighter II and that's it. We don't need Street Fighter Gamma Kappa Delta XXII.

Agreed. They'll realize what they're doing to the series and stop eventually...hopefully.

Anyone remember Burger Time for the NES? I was about to commit suicide when I realized what I'd spent my money on. (And I was only like 10 at the time) Good thing my mom hid all my razor blades and ropes.

Err..yes we do, Street Fighter Alpha was a great game, and "Capcom vs" games offer more characters from various classic Capcom titles
And don't knock the WWE games, there far from "repetitive"
I have the freedom of opinion. I think Wrestling games are horrible. That doesn't mean they are. And nothing beats the old school Street Fighter II.

And most wrestling games are pretty bad, agreed, though I have enjoyed the Smackdown games on PS1/2 (haven't played the N64/GC/Xbox games)...those were pretty good, I thought. And the old Royal Rumble (and RAW, maybe) on SNES was pretty fun too, for some inexplicable reason. Good, no, but definitely fun. :goof:

Fudge... that game is crappy. It is a frustraiting mindless hideous mess. I borrowed it from a cousin and I could never crack level 3. It just flat out sucks.
Worst games I've bought (all NES by the way)...
Well Back to the Future 2+3 (I should have known something was fishy when they merged 2 films together for a game)
Kid Icarus
Athena
and there are some others... I forget..
But the ABSOULTE WORST....
TOM SAWYER
What the hell was the point of it. it was frustraiting and had NOTHING to do with Tom Sawyer... I bet Mark twai was rollin' in his grave.

When Erin (TMNTFanCrys) was here for the weekend we played Diddy's Kong Quest: DKC2 for a few hours. When we got tired of that I popped in Tetris Attack to show her what that was about. I played vs. mode on hard just to show her how hard it can get.
God that is the fastest freaking puzzle game ever. lol. I finished it though.
