Crappy games - Feb 23, 2003 23:06
When was the first time you noticed a game was complete shit?

At first every single game was fun when young.
When did you grow up and notice developers were shoving shit down your throat?

I think mine was Clockwork(or something like that) for Saturn

I started to feel cheated when I got my N64 a few years ago. Many of the products could have been better - that' s when I decided to try and get into a bit of gaming journalism. Now I can tell companies making video games exactly what I think of their offerings... and it feels real good. Anyhow, I can' t remember the last " crappy game" I played, I somehow manage to find something decent in just about every title I pick up. Ill get back to you on that though...
Best Regards,

Mortal Kombat - without a doubt.

These days though it' s supposed to be quite good (MK:DA).

Since then, the list of crap games I' ve found is endless...

The first time was probably when I was really young and still on my first machine - the C64. Like Drew I had thought every game was great, but when I played Aliens (licensed from the film) I knew that this wasn' t the case. Aliens got some decnet reviews at the time, but despite being a fan of the movies I couldn' t believe how much I hated this. Dereadful, boring, uneventful gameplay with crap grapohics and no atmosphere sums up the experience for me.

I got Friday The 13th when I was six. After playing it for a few hours I knew it was complete shit.

Pitfighter on the Lynx. Played it once. For about two minutes. Never touched it again.

There were some InTellevision games that pissed me off lots, but I can' t remember them because I tossed them and spent the last 20 years forgetting.

The last one that really stands out was Bayou Billy on the NES.

This game coulda been SWEET! It had driving, fighting, and shooting! In theory it was perfect....a cross between Double Dragon, Operation Wolf, and Rad Racer; three of my favorite games.

Utter crap.

Ah-the old Intellivision. The one I hated for it was a piece called something like Vectron-it became impossible after the third short level. I still have it and all my othe Intellivision games.

DIE!!! and die HARD!! :p I love that game! :)

Paperboy 2 for the SNES was the first game to put me to sleep. I woke up ten minutes later and had to go for a walk just to really wake me up...

Last year I bought a new rig and Pre-Ordered Doom 3. I still feel kind of ripped off.

Sonic Blast is got to be my most hated game that I have bought. Saved for about two months before release date, Biked (In the Friggin cold, too) to the store. So you can imagine my utter disappointment when Sonics wicked transition to 3D was complete utter poo. Me and my mate felt so ripped off. needless to say we went back to the good old Tried and true 2D sonic. i have stayed there ever since.

I did play Superman 64. Twas a good thing I rented it (I learned my lesson well ) Now I regret not buying as it has reached cult status as one of the worst games of all time. I' m still on the look out for a copy.

For me, the Atari 2600 version of Pac Man was soooo hyped, then turned out to be the biggest bunch of sh** that I ever played.

It was nothing like the arcade in looks or play...

I was kind of pissed off with Grandia II for PS2... In the cities, the game would... lag... it was way tooooooo easy... I was also very disapointed with Hunter the Reconing: Wayward.

I enjoyed almost every game and I think every game I played had a decent story and gameplay...since I was born in 1988 and didn' t play games until 8-9 years old, I didn' t get to touch the Atari or Intellivision or whatever oldie consoles are out there...the oldest console I have is the NES, which had decent games...the only crappy games are those that are damaged...scratched...dusty...
Games I want: Starcraft: Ghost (went to gamestop and saw it on the shelf labeled " coming soon, reserve your copy today"
Halo 2
