Worst video games of all time!

Sorry, I'd have to say that's my fault. Because I'm apparently stupid or something of the sort.Zenith said:
It's certainly not the worst game of all time, but I'd like to contribute an infamous title from a few years ago; Sonic and the Black Knight. A spiritual successor to the previous year's (decent!) Sonic and the Secret Rings, this game takes the gameplay that made Secret Rings fun...and completely got rid of it in favor of giving Sonic a talking sword in this 2-hour-long adventure. When you think of Sonic, you should think of speed and muscle memory gameplay. Even with the setting that lets you run faster but makes you deal less damage, it doesn't feel right...you're just slow. There's almost no muscle memory whatsoever. Everything, including Sonic himself, moves at a sluggish pace (besides the first final boss, who outspeeds you 95% of the time). Everything is either too easy or ridiculously hard (at least the first time, it gets incredibly easy after that. And yes, I can say that because I've...been unfortunate enough to rent this game). Many techniques introduced in the beginning of the game become worthless 30 minutes into the game where randomly swinging the Wii Remote like an idiot does anything and everything. The methods of helping out villagers and the appearance of the villagers themselves are a complete joke; you just give them rings, which takes an unnecessarily long process. The game has almost no replay value whatsoever aside from worthless collectibles, but you're going to get bored of it after you finish it anyway (If you even decide to waste enough time to get there). I give Sega credit for trying something new, but they fell flat on their face due to tedious--if short--gameplay.

But if you look at my post, it is a fact.

I don't think the orignal was worse, just that the second is less buggy. Remember the teammates going through walls? The A.I improved more in the second.

Probably gonna end up doing that, the majority of posts are by the same 4 people, and they all seem to be arguing. It was an interesting discussion, however.
If only I could figure out how to close threads. Can we just call this thread dead?

You request to a staff member to close the thread. This can be done by private messaging one or reporting your own thread for the request. However, it's up to the staff member whether the thread should be locked or not (actually, if I recall correctly, didn't we abolish this policy?).
I think this thread would actually be decent if people just stated their opinions and gave valid arguments for them, and not take opposing views as if they were an insult to their honor. I, for one, enjoyed reading Medic and Don's posts. It's very interesting to see the experiences of other gamers, even if I don't agree with their opinions.
Then let's enforce that a bit more. I'm sure everybody has some bad experiences with video games, no?

All right, look.
Errbody got their games they like and games they hate. But that doesn't mean you need to get on a horse, raise an army, and defend Game X to the death like someone posting that they didn't like it means it suddenly became the opinion of the entire world and Game X is being slated for complete destruction unless YOU DO SOMETHING.
Example: I think Final Fantasy VII and X are great games. I liked the concept of Materia and how it basically let everyone use every skill. I also enjoyed the story and I chuckle at how blocky and no-facey everyone is.
X is admittedly linear for most of the game but the extra stuff you can do at the end of the game makes up for it. The Sphere Grid was also pretty innovative; I know I felt like a boss using Yuna's physical attack and doing 99999.
Pride and PokeMedic might not agree with my post but that doesn't mean that they're going to mount their steeds and rawr at me and say why my opinions are wrong and how FF7 and FFX were balls.
If you see someone talk smack about a game you like, instead of jumping down their throat for it, why don't you just say (in your head) that they're missing out on what you think is a great game and move on? This thread would look a lot nicer if everyone would do that.

A fitting overstatement, I suppose. The crash was due to a flood of games lacking in quality. E.T. culminated this lack in quality. The disappointment of Pac-Man also contributed a chunk.

How could such a machine be magical?

It's a PC game. It's going to be better on PC.

For the stuff that just plain isn't fun, all right. But for Flash niftibles like Shift? I'd disagree.
Anyway:
Console: DS
Game: ATV Thunder Ridge Riders / Monster Trucks Mayhem
Reasons: I didn't play it enough to give concrete reasonings, and I don't like ATV racers anyway, but it was just unfun. I don't remember much about it, but put it this way: It remains to be the only game I've traded in.
Console: gamecube
Game: Aquaman Battle for Atlantis
Reasons: ever play Superman 64? Here, play it underwater. I'm not joking, its the exact same game.

Console: Super Nintendo Entertainment System
Game: Indiana Jones
Worst game ever. There's no way to get past certain things, spikes just pop out of no where for no reason every so often, and when you hit things, they explode. So like, you can hit a tribal man with a whip and he'll explode. It's the greatest.
Oh, and when you get a game over, this happens:[video=youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8hcNUzksQo[/video]

Not necessarily the worst, but definitely the most disappointing to me:
Console: Wii (although available on others)
Game: Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II
Reasons: the first game was great. I enjoyed the plot, combat, everything. However, this game was completely unnecessary. The first game had a great ending and the second game did it no justice. TFU2 was extremely short. I'm not one to complain about graphics, but come on. I played the first one on PS2 and the second on Wii. There's no reason the second one's cut-scenes should look like terrible claymation. When TFU2 ended, I felt like I didn't accomplish anything and it was an overall waste of time. This game was insult to the first, but I shouldn't expect anything less from Lucasarts.

Dude, I was just about to post the same game today. 0_0
But yeah, TFU II was terrible. Sure, they barely upgraded th combat and the graphics, but in reality, the game was nothing more than a DLC to me. I beat it on normal difficulty in less than 6 hours, despite the extremely annoying enemies (SITH ACOLYTE), and even then, the "challenge mode" was absurdly easy. The plot was terrible to boot. And the worst part? I paid $60 for it. The only solace I found in the game was, ironically, the Endor DLC, which gave you the chance to drop-kick some Ewoks.
