Worst video game ever played.

[Woodruff]

Ah, an interesting subject to retrieve from the dead. My opinion: Hasbro's Stratego game. My God, how they totally screwed up a great game.

Oh, and every first-person-shooter ever created. They all suck.

[Minister Masket]

Oh, and every first-person-shooter ever created. They all suck.

I dare you to play Bioshock and say that again.

I don't appear to have any bad games in my collection as it happens.
I can remember one called Commandos 2, or something. Didn't like it from the get-go.

[Frigidus]

Haha, I said Assassin's Creed. I remember that being half me being enraged at being unable to play the game I'd just spent $40 on and half wanting to troll people who all over it's junk. Turned out I could get it working by turning off my connection to the internet. Still not sure why that was.

A better choice, perhaps, would be State of Emergency. So much hype over such a steaming turd of a game. Naturally, I don't mention any of the ridiculous Barbie Gameboy games, or anything to that extent.

[pimpdave]

I think that old ET game usually tops most lists like this... The worst I've played recently is probably Army of Two. Quite a letdown, in my opinion.

That ET game SUCKED.

And Army of Two was really good for the time... it was one of the first 360 games. Also, if you're not playing it with a partner, yeah, it's kind of boring, but otherwise, what are you talking about?

Also, the star wars Force Unleashed isn't at all what it was hyped to be. I only get to be Darth Vader for ONE LEVEL???

I just don't like the concept itself, to be honest. About the only way I can even REMOTELY stand the concept is in an AD&D-type setting where it's swords and bows.

Once you graduate to rapid-firing weapons, the idea just becomes...dumb and MIND-NUMBINGLY REPETITIVE.

Lol State of Emergency. What was that all about?

I suppose I went into Army of Two thinking there would be more badass teammate strategy going on. It just seemed like more of the same to me. Gears of War did it much better, imo.

Just rented UFC Undisputed. It starts out pretty fun, you can create your own fighter, play as famous fighters, etc. The stand-up fighting is fun enough with boxing, kickboxing, and muay thai as the styles for stand-up respectively. However, the moment a fight goes to the ground (except for throwing, which is easy enough), it becomes ridiculous in the way the controls work. Not to mention the Computer opponents do something instantly that takes you 30 seconds to do!

Also, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic Two has some "interesting" controls, and no sound for talking. Though for the Xbox, you would have expected at least some voice actors. Not to mention really hard to read what they are saying.

The Smurfs for Colecovision

Assassin's Creed worked perfectly on my computer... And it was pretty good. Bad games? EA hockey, football, soccer, that sort of shit. I was never a fan of RE4, or splinter cell.

[Iliad]

Civilization IV

That game fuckin sucked.

And the hyperbole award goes to jnd!

Seriously, personally I find that game amazing, however maybe you're not into strategy games. Though the question of why did you buy it and why do you play risk, begs to be asked. Even if you say like shooting zombies in the face instead of building an empire, you have to agree that in the genre of empire-building games the civilisation series ranks if not number 1, then bloody well close.

It is a decent game, it just gets REALLY repetitive. It starts out fun, then you learn what each of your skills are for, and then you really don't do much of anything new in combat, walls, etc. Once you learn the counter kill with the knife or sword, it is fun the first 12 dozen times, as you get to see the 3-4 different ways you counter kill someone with either weapon, and then, nothing changes.

[hecter]

I still found it a good game. Hardly the worst. I've never played it, but Big Rigs deserves a mention.

Take his opinion for what it's worth...which ain't much....because he admittedly didn't get past the "concept".

What's with the personal attack?

I'm a hard-core gamer and have been since the early 80s, so I certainly have a lot of experience with both good and bad games, which includes a lot of first-person shooters, unfortunately. I would say therefore that the basis of my opinion IS a healthy one. I admit that I don't care for the style, and that is because it always devolves into EXTREME repetition, in my opinion. Just because I don't happen to agree with you doesn't make my opinion worthless.

I haven't played Bioshock, so I plan to go look at reviews and such at least.

Also Half-Life.

[hecter]

As a fan of FPS's, I don't really like people saying that the entire genre is the worst game ever, but the guy has clearly made up his mind. Personally, I find lots of them to be quite fun, Half-Life 2, Team Fortress 2, Left 4 Dead, Quake, Unreal Tournament, even the Halo franchise. I mean, in HL2, you've got the very unique gravity gun, in TF2 you've got the awesome team-play and lots of fun classes, L4D, amazing co-op experience, and can you really dis a game that lets you BE the zombies? Quake and Unreal, just generally runny shooty fun, as is Halo. But, I trust that Woodruff has given them a fair shot and didn't just quit after Doom and Wolfenstein.

I'll add sports games (hockey, soccer, football) to the list.

[Neoteny]

See, I can't pick a worst genre. I've liked a game in every genre I can think of. There might be a genre I have fewer likes than dislikes, but I hold the game-makers responsible for that, not the genre.

When you said "Once you graduate to rapid-firing weapons, the idea just becomes...dumb and MIND-NUMBINGLY REPETITIVE." it was pretty insulting to MM.

Why would you be so harsh?

It really seems to me that you are implying that he really hasn't given them a fair shot...

Watch it! He'll be accusing you of attacking him personally!

TBH neither can I. I like Racing games and Tennis, which fit into the sports category, so...

That wasn't a reference to MinisterMasket at all...I suggest you try to take another English class, as your last one seems to have failed you. It was a reference to the genre of first-person shooters.

[Minister Masket]

Y'see Woodruff, the twist with Bioshock is that you start with normal weapons like pistol and machine gun, and then graduate to the good stuff. The plasmid that lets you shoot bees from your hands for example.

While you're working on your interpretation of the English language, look up the word "inference".

Him: I like first person shooters.

You: The idea is dumb and MIND-NUMBINGLY REPETITIVE.

No, not insulting at all.

Dudes we all know it Big Rigs.

Altho in my opinion if it wasnt for the fact Metal Gear Solid 4 has more cut scene than games and is therefor not a game in my book, it would be that.
