Sure why not The Sims 3 Starter

The worst game I have ever played that I can remember is Hyperdimension Neptunia I bought it on the whim of a friend who said it was going to be amazing let just say me and him are not friends anymore, It a lackluster JRPG that tries to be funny but fails, most of the enemy are just reused from another game model and all, and the combat made me want to stab myself to name just a few things.

Not in as my crappy laptop will keel over and die on any of these, but the sims 3 and I don't want to DL origin as I already have steam, but I will share a worst game.

The worst game that I can remember was... Splinter Cell conviction.

It wasn't worst by design(Hell I found the combat fun even if it was a bit lackluster) but calling it a splinter cell game and pretty much taking away the sneaking around and having a possible pacifist run, just made it seem a lot worse.

The combat, while it did look fun(ish) it was pretty much 'You want to use the Scar-H you downloaded off of U-Play? Well fuck you if you use it you'll alert EVERYONE' and while I got over that, there was the 'Everything turns black and white when you are invisible got a bit annoying as I loved to admire the environment without the chance of getting shot, and that completely removes the fun of looking at stuff.

Forcing combat was a petty annoyance, but hey, as I said shooting stuff is fun if it is fun and looks good/plays good.

Unlike what I remember from playing Splinter cell 1 and Splinter cell pandora tomorrow, there was barely any noticeable humor other than laughing at the occasional oddity I find, so there is that. Also, to those played this, anyone else notice that there is no ROE?(IE Non lethal force only) It might just be to make the levels easier, but that was something else that ruined it for me. Oh and no night vision, regardless on how it would have been done in fluff.

I personally would have bought it if it was a new IP, but this isn't a place for me to vent about game pet peeves.

I hope this doesn't sound like a rant to any of you guys.

I now take my leave.

I would like to join in for Mirror's Edge
Worst game i have played was... Prince of Persia
I hated this because for the combat that suck so much and also the god damn puzzle with not so much information was told how to do it (I just raged at one for them and threw the disk outside my window and where i was an 2 story house on an steep hill so i never found it Or wanted too...)

Edit:Would also like to go into the Crysis 2 Maximum Edition

[timferius]

Can you use both the Origin and Steam keys? If so, that's great!

I'll enter for Crysis 2.
Worst Game I ever played......... Superman 64
Do I need to describe this? Graphics were sad, the entire city was pretty much flat except for the odd 3d building, it was disjointed, obtuse and generally awful.

(Also, how could you ever say that about Prince of Persia?!? it was an awesome game).

It just the parts i talked about, everything else i was happy with, and i am talking about the sand for time (I think) game

Oh hell, I'll enter for Burnout. Might as well have two games on Origin.

Not the worst game ever made, but, Kane and Lynch. Can't type effectively on this phone, but....

The blandest, most featureless 3rd person shooter I've ever played. Terrible, boring characters and uninspired dialog that didn't make them any more likable or interesting. No environmental interaction, lame waves of enemies matching up to die.

Usually co-op will make even bad gameplay better, but not even co-op could save it. My friend and I put in about an hour before we went back to the video store for another game.

[werty892]

I'll enter for Mirror's edge.

The worst game I ever played was...Darwinia. I had no idea what it was about, the interface and everything were confusing, and I spent about 15 min on it before I was like "fuck it"

[Kaje]

If it's ok, I'd like to add the following Origin keys to this giveaway...

Burnout Paradise
Crysis 2
Dead Space
Medal of Honor
Mirror's Edge

Hopefully it'll make more people happy!

Not interested in entering, just wanted to share the worst game I've ever played it was some Mario ripoff with either the munsters or the adams family and the graphics were constantly glitched and there was no indication of which door goes to the game or the options or the scoreboard, and the platforming itself was just atrocious.

[Mingebag7]

Just here to drop the worst game I've ever played.
Bomberman Act: Zero. A friend of mine found this in a bargain bin and we both had played the very original Bomberman way back, so we said "hell let's do it" and tried it out. Art design was atrocious. The gameplay was Bomberman, but it just wasn't right. Insult to the old SNES game.

[timferius]

I'm starting to think we need a "what's the worst game you ever played" thread!

[Rilder]

Throw me in for The Sims 3 starter pack.(Already got elsewhere) Battlefield 3

Worse game for me, kinda hard to think of off hand, I usually just forget and move on from the games I don't like.

I guess the one that stands out for me is Shogun 2: Total War.  Due to the uninteresting campaign map, boring simple battles, the graphics which I find way to be to much "Shiny Plastic" for my tastes and the fact that as a game based in history it does nothing to spark the least bit of interest in the history it represents.

Oh yes and of course the fact that its a post-medieval 2 total war so its barely moddable so modders cant really make it a good game. (They tried their best to make shogun 2 bearable to play with what things they could mod, but it really didn't help) Definitely helped insure I never buy another Creative Assembly game.

I'm sure there is a game I think less of but I can't really think of it off the top of my head.

[Sensei]

Bump because, you can't ALL hate Origin that much right? Surely more people want these?

[Gruntdonttoot]

I guess I'll jump in for a copy of burnout The Sims 3 (I may not be able to run burnout), it'll be fun to re-100% it. Another awful game was Superman: Man of Steel for the original xbox, awful controls abysmal graphics and boring environments and missions.
