Worst game you've played recently?

I got the big box copy of Amiibo Festival at Gamestop because it was only ten bucks and... I understand now why it was only ten bucks. It was just... really boring. And I like Animal Crossing, so it wasn't just the casual, pleasant atmosphere. It's just not very good. And that's kind of sad, because an Animal Crossing themed Mario Party should have been a lot of fun. Maybe it was meant to target the "whales" who are willing to buy every figurine and card pack?



But man, that box looks good up on my shelf. But if I'd paid more than I did, then you can believe I'd have taken it back. 



So what's your worst game played recently?

  • Well in the last 4 months I have only played 4 games: Breath of the Wild, Mega Man Battle Network, Mario Kart 8 deluxe, and Snake Pass and Snake Pass is definitely the worst. It is decent but the controls are so fucking difficult. I may just drop it.
  • Mayyyybe?.... I made the terrible decision to play Fester's Quest on the NES. Just couldn't get into it. The controls were just soooo slow and the enemies too fast. It Cracked me up really. Didn't play it too long!
  • Oh! When I was a kid I has Primal Rage for Gameboy. I remember playing it all the time and thinking it was awesome. Recently picked up a copy and it's just ridiculous. Although fighting dinosaurs are pretty rad.
  • Home alone 2 one the NES, everything sucks, the music, the game play the graphics, it just all sucks.
  • I finally got around to playing Captain Toad and I thought it was awful. Boring as shit, I forced myself to get to where I did before I gave up.
  • Bayou Billy ugh gross.

    That's too bad. I love Captain Toad it's one of my favorite Wii U games.

     
  • Played hoops on nes for the first time the other day. I had more fun cleaning it than I had playing it. The sole reason that I can justify the loss of alcohol and qtips.
  • Cannon dale cup snes is horrible I played for 2mins
  • M.U.L.E.



    I like the idea of it, but its just sooooo slow
  • I recently tried to replay Zelda Spirit Tracks to give it a second chance. What a garbage game

    I assume you played Phantom Hourglass and hated it too? If you haven't played it yet then you will definitely not dig it since it is way worse imo. I liked them both though, but I'm a weirdo.

    Same controls and stuff for the most part, I thought PH was too tedious. Was not a fan of constantly having to go through the Temple of the Ocean King. I thought Spirit Tracks had better dungeons and bosses and a better world overall.
  • Probably Dream Trigger 3D for 3DS & Hoppie for DS. Both games were around $5 new so i took a chance on em. Dream Trigger 1st impressions i just thought it was super weird and not what i was expecting. Maybe it gets fun but i was too weirded out to proceed. Hoppie is just boring. Hop on every square in the level to beat the level.
  • Silver for Dreamcast. Generic and boring, weird controls too.

    I remember buying that at launch and being excited about it and then only playing like an hour or two. I can't remember a thing about the actual game though.

     
  • I had no expectations since it was a blind buy for me and I bought it based on the description and screenshots on the back of the case. I can't recall ever disliking a game as much as I disliked Silver though, what a POS.
  • Loading Human (PSVR). Bad controls for both the Dual Shock and Move controllers and generally uninteresting as a whole.
  • Eh... Cosmic Ark. It's not terrible but there are much better games out there. As for modern stuff... Probably Puyo Puyo Tetris. Got some more time in it today but I'm not a huge fan. I just suck at both games.

    That's actually what I liked about this game. Very laid back, easy vibe - great for after a night shift or when you're tired and not looking for a high intensity game. It is quite easy though. However, if we were talking about Wooley World I would 100% agree. Games was tedious and way too easy for a platformer. Got to the third world before it couldn't hold my interest anymore.



    Worst game I played recently was Ninja Gaiden 3 on my NES classic. I love the game, but it's near unplayable on that machine. Played it on my NES once I got back from my trip and it was so good in comparison. I once again have mixed feelings on the CE  
  • Cube Life. It was poor.
  • Tumbleseed on Switch. I was really looking forward to it because it looked fun and interesting. But it is hard as fuck. Hard to the point where I can't even enjoy it, kind of like Battletoads.
  • I didn't get it when I watched the video (Tumbleseed), is it just motion controls rocking something back and forth doing a sort of obstacle course?



    I saw one person comment about Kamiko, have you tried that one yet Kraken?

    When did you play that??
  • Ultimate NES Remix bummed me out recently. It is low on the NES remixes and new challenges and heavy on short, easy NES tutorials.
  • Tales of Zestiria was godawful. I stopped like 15 hours in. It was funny trying to convince my brother that something was wrong after the first 5 hours, and watching him try to rationalize his expensive purchase.

    Wooly World like most modern Nintendo platformers getting through the levels isn't that hard but getting 100% completion on them is. It's a good way of making them where kids can play and also have them be challenging for adults. I couldn't even get 100% on some of the bonus levels.

     
  • Maybe not the "worst" game in recent memory but certainly a huge disappointment for me was Uncharted. I didn't go in with particularly high expectations but what I got from it was mostly dull, uninspiring and seasoned with moments of frustration. Would not really say that I objectively enjoyed it. There were some pretty graphics and a few interesting moments but it was otherwise very forgettable.

    The 100% is what I found tedious. I was doing it as I went along the way and didn't find it that rewarding. I prefer the three coin system in NSMB games, but that's just my personal preference. Somewhat of a more concentrated challenge than all these tiny little hiding spots for everything you had to collect. Even though I like Yoshi's Island, I found it get 100 on each level also quite tedious.
