Worst game evar?

[FatuousTwat]

Lionheart
The latest C&C (For some reason one of the missions was bugged for me, I reinstalled and everything, no one could give me an answer)
Shadowbane
Black and White 2
Overlord (fun for about 30 minutes, then it's just the same bullshit over and over)
Hellgate: London
Simcity Societies
Every single Empire: Earth game
Dead Rising (what the hell is with everyone loving this?)
Age of Empires 3 (I'm not really sure why I didn't like this one, AOE2 is one of my all time favourites)
Neverwinter Nights 2(I played a ton on-line with the first one, 2nd one is garbage)
Sword of the Stars (combat is just ridiculous)

I'm sure I missed some really horrid shit I've played. For some reason it is much easier for me to make a list of games I don't like than of one I do like...

Medieval Lords

for 1) never working properly, 2) not having bug fixers, and 3) having Starforce.

Voila.  A complete trifecta.  Beat that.

Dead Rising (what the hell is with everyone loving this?)

Perhaps you just have poor taste in games.   Honestly though, unless you really enjoy the zombie wacking, the game does have a decent number of flaws.

[FatuousTwat]

I played it through once, then it just got boring. Killing the same monsters over and over just doesn't appeal to me anymore.

It's like an mmorpg without the good stuff.

Lionheart was an abortion in the later parts (=rushedoutoutofthedoorhalfdone), but I somewhat enjoyed the first parts. Certainly not worse than Sacred for example.

Maybe it helps that I always play Paladin-types in Action RPGs (Tank with light support/healing magic), I heard as anything else it was a chore.

Man, what did I hate. FFX-2 sucked ass, but so obvy.

Hmm. What was that one lame GC game where you're a human in dinosaur land? That sucked. Tak and the Power of Juju sucked, but again: obvious.

Return to Krondor.

Ah c'mon. It wasn't that bad. I enjoyed it. Nothing special, but certainly not the worst game ever.

It was a letdown after Betrayal. Damn, I loved Betrayal -- that was a wide-open RPG in a time when they, well, weren't. Return to Krondor was okay, but I wanted a better Betrayal, not an "okay" IP-based RPG.

[Tebonas]

Have you tried Betrayal at Antara? I vaguely remember that to be the other "sequel" to Betrayal at Krondor. It wasn't bad, but Betrayal at Krondor was still the best of the three!

I had been meaning to try Betrayal In Antara, but my interest had been thoroughly quashed by Return to Krondor.  Now my computer is 10 years too new to run it.

[Rasix]

It wasn't bad

Ohh, yes it was.  One of the few pc games I've ever thrown away. 

I'm having a hard time thinking of a certain game I really hated. All I can remember is it was a first person action/rpg and had garish red cover art. Can't find the CD.. may be another casualty. Mid nineties... GAH.

[Tebonas]

No computer is to new to run anything, thanks to the wonders of virtualization. I still run Master of Magic and Darklands regularly on Dosbox and have a Win95-Vmware running if the Magic the Gathering (because spending money on magic cards a second time, not happening) fancy tickles me.

I doubt that Betrayal in Antara is worth that level of dedication, though.


@Rasix: Do you by chance mean Shadowcaster? First Action/RPG of the mid 90 that springs to my mind.

Everquest.

There are some personal reasons. Everquest stole my P&P RPG group, and it was annoying as fuck to try and GM while my buddies were whacking skeletons and not paying attention. I eventually gave up.

But it also had just about everything about games that I dislike, and nothing that appealed to me. It just seemed like someone threw the Monster Manual into a spreadsheet, tacked on some really horrible looking  3-D graphics and fired up the servers.

I remain boggled that it became as popular as it did.

Lands of Lore past the first iteration was just shit. The first one was a fun game, not the greatest but fun. 2 and 3? Shitty shit shit shit.
