the worst games I've played? do you mean objectively bad games, or games I absolutely hated and dropped immediately regardless of if they are technically functional or not?
>>
Some shovelware slop on the Gameboy mostly. A couple of movie games, some paintball game, I can't remember any other shovelware probably because it was just that bad. In terms of modern games though, CK3 is pretty bad, and EUV is also up there in terms of being bad, though both being infinitely better than any shovelware game. Else Ring gets an honorable mention because the people who play it are insufferable cunts, that game is pretty decent.

I'm pretty picky with games but worst came that I have completed is probably Two Worlds. I still have no idea how or why I got through it but I did.
Out of spite I would say Hitman World of Assassination which is a puzzle game about purchasing the correct DLC without overspending. Hardmode is if you had parts before the name change and combining the games. The game itself isn't bad but they made getting to play so painful that I could never recommend it.
>>
>>741934976
I don't know out of my way to play bad games. #1 is probably Fantasia which is just straight kusoge. Tales of Arise is the most soul-crushingly miserable game I've ever played so it probably goes next. After that I'm honestly not sure

5. E.T

>>741935945
I shrimply bought Hitman, Hitman 2 and Hitman 3 before they made it all fucked up
I don't know why i bothered though. Hitman has the potential to be fun if they focussed on the actual mechanics of getting a kill with what you have available and less on scripted events. The most fun with those games is just when you're trying to kill people in mundane ways and fucking up so you have to scramble for a new disguise
>>741936143
Lion King isn't THAT bad

Aliens colonial marines is still the biggest piece of shit ever
2nd pick would probably be xeodrifter, garbage nostalgiabait metroid clone that is incredibly boring and slow

E.T. is overhated and is better than like 75% of the 2600 Library.
At least there is a goal, and things to do, all explained in the manual.

Nothing more can be said about this one. I still like the first game though.
>Resident Evil 0
Not having save rooms in a RE like this was a huge mistake, those OP leech enemies show up way too early, and the bosses were just shitty.
>Sonic 4
This one is my biggest disappointment in a game ever. Leading up to the trailer I was insanely hyped up the franchise would finally go back to it's roots with all the concept art they were releasing every week. Then the trailer released and it just looked so shitty and cheap I couldn't believe it. Everything about the game ended up being bad even the OST, surprisingly. Mania will always be the true Sonic 4.

Thi4f takes some beating. Genuinely unpleasant game to play, you just want to turn it off as soon as you turn it on. Which is strange because Human Revolution and, especially, Mankind Divided were both serviceable-to-great modernisations of the immersive sim formula. If Dishonored were set entirely at night then it would have been a much more credible Thief 4.

Shitman: Absolution was pretty crap, especially if you don't give a shit about Grindhouse (I don't).

Fallout 4 makes me just not want to play it, like Thief 4. It's so patronisingly written. Modern Bethesda know full well that they are making skinner boxes for cro magnons, they can barely conceal their contempt for the player.

Ubisoft, of course, take this up to the next level. I learned my lesson by the time of Asscreed Valhalla, but I could not believe the lack of respect for player time and ability to notice endlessly repeating assets and gameplay in Odyssey. Which is sad, because I rather enjoyed the first few hours after leaving Chios.

I have watched a friend play (and critique) Far Cry New Dawn and 6, and both looked gash for much the same reasons. I myself got about a third of the way into Dutch Wogs: Legion, I thought it was borderline shovelware. My now Clint Hocking has fallen. If I have to see my native country depicted by mentally backward, nepotism-hire French Canadians once more, I swear.

Then we have the subgenre of shit that was supposedly 'engoodened'. Shit like Total War Rome 2 or No Man's Sky, both still utter crap today. I will make an exception for Cyberpunk, because I thought it was great on PC from the word go. Not the right game for anyone who wants a GTA sandbox or a proper full-fat RPG, but it was always clear that the writing, art, and music were top tier from the word go. No "engoodening" needed, at least on PC.

Then there's classic disappointments like Master of Orion 3 or Ultima IX. The wounds never, ever heal.

Final Fantasy XV is the worst game I have played in 40 years. Nothing else comes close.
WoW has to be next. Directly abusive to the player in ways hard to really imagine people tollerating and there are laws against.
FFXIV has a mandatory 24 hour long back and forth talk to npc questline where everyone dies at the end so they can do a new story for an expansion.
SaGa games are all terrible but the last one looked worse than those western eroge made by 1 russian guy.
Hearthstone deserves a spot for being a predatory card game with no chat. Nobody who has played cards could think this is acceptable.
>>
>>741935391
Totally agree on CK3, it and Vicky 3 are real slaps in the face for old fans. Glad I didn't pay for either.

EUV is much more well-intentioned, and I am convinced it will be good some day, but it suffers from the usual Johan Andersson problem of too many gamey mechanics that don't have obvious real-world analogues. He never roots his game design in the actual mechanisms at the disposal of a ruler, as Henrik Fahreus does (or did). That makes Johan's games harder to understand and less fun to play.
>>
>>741939343
Jet Force Gemini was fucking great until it pulls the 'collect every single thing to fight last boss'. It also suffers from pre dual stick camera. I'd love to replay it if it ever gets a camera control fix. As is it is certainly a remnant of its time.

>Game would constantly crash on PS2 and had long as fuck load times
What a nostalgia killer I experienced replaying this turd last year. Even as a kid I remember it being not as good as BfBB, but man it's fucking boring and the collectables are absolutely retarded - they unlock nothing and some of them are found where you fight the last boss who is in an area you can't backtrack from, meaning you can screw yourself out of '100%' if you care about that.

Also experienced tons and tons and tons of crashes. What's weird is I don't remember my early fat PS2 as a kid freezing, so I'm thinking my dad bought us a newer fat at some point (which are the ones that have problems with the game) and sold the older one. Should have just emulated or tried the GameCube version.

I'll also add I pirated the game since my childhood disc is scratched to shit and all the freezing on the load screens made me think my OPL settings were fucked up lol.

Half the games itt are just gonna be meta grievances with the industry and not actually bad games lol.

Also im gonna be honest i cant even remember bad games I’ve played. I had a shitty Planet of the Apes game on game boy but maybe I was just shitty at games as a kid. But games are fun, it takes a LOT for me to call a game bad as opposed to “wasn’t my thing”

>bottom 5 WORST games
I usually do not bother with playing shit games.

Mainline Pokémon. Enjoyable for small kids. Very mediocre and lacking in depth even compared to other JRPGs like Chrono Trigger or Bravely Default which are already lacking in gameplay depth but making up with far better exploration, stories and atmosphere, things that Pokémon games are lacking at too.
Stellaris. Boring and slow. Planets are menus. Not a lot of interesting things to say about this. It's just pretty lame.
Paper Mario the Origami King. Not putrid shit or torture to play but more like mediocre boredom. Flashy colors, zero substance.
The Witcher 3. Hideously overrated filth. Wasted far too many hours on this turd before giving up.
Hogwarts Legacy. Probably the worst game I have ever played. Shallow and unsatisfying action combat. Hours of boring cutscenes. Feels more like a theme park than a game. Quit very early.

Are these the worst games ever made? No. That title would go to mobile games, gacha and VNs. But I have never played those.

I guess you could say that on an objective level, Sonic Chronicles is a horrible RPG when you look at game design, balance, music, art and story, but it's actually a top tier shitpost game and I got a lot more fun out of my 3 runs than any of the agmes above. Same can be said about trashy but charming amateur RPG maker games.
>>
In terms of popularity/quality I still hold that GTA 4 is the worst game of all time
>>
I will never forgive LOTR Conquest. I was promised LOTR battlefront. Sure it was playable and had an interesting archer>warrior>mage unit dynamic and hero units but the missed potential after battlefront 2 killed me. I still have it for xbawx somewhere. This was back before I had internet so I really was just going off box art and hype.
>>
>>741943918
GTA 5 is worse than GTA 4.
>>
>>741944041
I actually haven't played GTA 5 because I soured on the series after 4. It's ironic, because San Andreas is so much fun, and I really like that one.
>>
I don't play many bad games because because I'm pretty selective of what I buy, but FF16 slipped by, and that dogshit has to be one of the worst things I've ever played.

Uncharted 2 pissed me off to no end. I was already tired of movie game bullshit but this fucking trash heal starts in medias res, flashes back after like 20 minutes of climbing, and then when you catch up you have to do the entire opening sequence a second time. Shut the game off right there.

Dragon Age 2 is possibly -THE- worst game I've ever played. Ugly as fuck, literally unfinished, written by morons, broken game systems, a grand total of three maps for dungeons that are just reused as nauseum, it's an absolute travesty of a game on the level of ET for the Atari.

Back 4 Blood is a terrible game made by a committee of blind stinking drunks. Its campaigns are insanely long, it's a roguelite that gives you no progression on death, the card system has no reason to be a card system so it just confuses players, the SI ignore all the best practices Valve established (there are literally examples of things in B4B that are discussed as bad ideas in the L4D commentaries), the gear system is pointless, it runs like shit, I have NOTHING good to say about that game.

SF4 was great, SF5 was mediocre, but SF6 is a pile of flaming shit and I'm tired of people telling me that I must hate fighting games. What I hate is the ability to fill my screen with particles while the gay little dash magically makes every button plus. Also the roster is just fucking terrible. Not a single character worth playing after FOUR YEARS of DLC

Tales of Graces f actually had the best combat in any Tales game I played, including Arise (Arise falls apart halfway through). However the story and the characters are so extremely obnoxious that the game is fucking unplayable. I'm used to jrpg party members being mascots or ugu~ kawaii but these are some of the dumbest most annoying motherfuckers to ever have dish plate eyes. I wanted to nuke the setting every time someone spoke.
>>
>>741940213
The only thing I remember about it were the enemy npcs repeating the same fucking threat dialogue every 2 seconds until you went mad. Apart from that it just deperately tried to take the best parts of other actually good FPS games like UT2004 and Half-Life 2
