What would you pay to play THE WORST GAME OF ALL-TIME™®? It doesn't matter, because the price is going to be...

...YOUR SOUL! Let's ride.

Reviews
EGM - 0.5/10 - Ride to Hell: Retribution is a spectacular monument to failure. If failure were Paris, Ride to Hell would be the Arc de Triomphe.

Destructoid - 1/10 - At its very worst, Ride to Hell is offensive on philosophical and intellectual levels

Game Informer - 2/10 - With the exception of some Kinect and Wii games that flat-out don’t work, this is the worst video game I’ve played this console generation.

Eurogamer - 1/10 - Imagine if you ran a red light in real life and then your bicycle suddenly, slowly drove itself into a hedge on your behalf. "There," it says, looking down at you smugly. "That'll teach you." And then you explode.

Gamespot - 1/10 - When playing Ride to Hell, you exist at the whim of some of the buggiest software ever released.

This game sexist a bit?
Nah.

You sure?

None.

Holy crap, this vaseline-covered shitburger is a 10GB download???
Yep.

All I am saying is that this game gave birth to arguably the best Quicklook of the year.

 

[udiie]

The saddest part is, at work I've sold about 5 or 6 copies of this game (-I believe to be highly due to the price...).

 

[jabuseika]

I only know about this because of giantbomb's Quicklook...

...I... No thanks...

Motorbike wins, surely.

you are not warning people buying it?!

 

[SlasherJPC]

I played as much as I could and then gave up... I never do that... O_O

 

[lem0n]

I'd rather eat the game than play it

 

[GeoramA]

I was actually interested when it was an open world game. This should have been Old Yeller'd.

 

[BOTEC]

My personal entry level for this is $4.99. It looked super dumb in that GB Quick Look, but also super busted. At 5 bucks, I won't mind.

You didn't warn the people?

 

[sunnz]

Back when this was teased as an open world game ( 2010 I think) I was so hyped for it.

But this...
One of my biggest disappointments. Is TLAD for GTA IV really the only good open world biker game?

 

[udiie]

I tend not to discourage people's choices, but if they ask for advice I'll gladly assist. I'm scum

 

[Dance Inferno]

I... kind of wanna see what all the fuss is about.

 

[RPGCrazied]

People, don't support this game. Its garbage.

 

[Messofanego]

Surely, warning against buying this kind of game should be in your job description.

I haven't seen the Quick Look yet, so off to do that now! XD

 

[kazebyaka]

Watch Angry Joe's review on this garbage. It's amazingly awful.

 

[GayForMaster]

Got this as a birthday present, fuck my life.

 

[Gen X]

lol@Eurogamers quote in the OP.

Nearly bought this on Saturday but bought something else instead.

I do however intend to play Ride to Hell since I've played some shitters in my life but not many this gen.

 

[Canis lupus]

Saw AJ's review yesterday, thats about the only entertainment I'll get out of this shit.

 

[DukeBobby]

Waiting for that £5 sweet spot.

 

[Warren Ellis]

the artist who made those drawings is either a virgin or a sexual maniac

 

[Gbraga]

They can get some good sales if they drop the price really hard on Steam so it can be our new Bad Rats.

 

[Beaulieu]

I played as much as I could and then gave up... I never do that... O_O

same for me.
made it to the warehouse shout out.

omg I wanted to die so bad all the way through

edit : people I don't think you realize.... it's not one of those "so bad it's good" games.... it's absolutely horrible. You cannot have an ounce of fun playing this, even for the laughs. DO NOT BUY THIS. If you get it for free (as I did), refeuse the gift. I don't wish this game to my worst ennemies.

 

[udiie]

Actually being in a major department store's generalized electronics dept, not really. Customers aren't generally there to buy games.

 

[Strife In a Teacup]

I'd go for a Sons of Anarchy open world game. They were talking about it. But it'd probably end up like that Walking Dead: Survival Instinct game...

Like if you were a new prospect that had to work your way up. They could place it earlier in the series. Have Ron Perlman (and the rest of the cast) do VOs. In theory it could work out, in reality...probably not.

Yep, it really would need a good team behind it.
Now a days games offer a lot of variety but still many opportunities go ignored.

It took a mod to give us a real zombie survival game ( dayz) maybe more modders is what we need

 

[Joe Molotov]

I had to leave it downloading overnight to finish, so it was just like Christmas morning when I woke up. Only instead of Santa Claus, Greasy Steve had been there. As well as an unnamed prostitute looking to "get greasy." Mmmm....already my soul feels a bit greasy.

Actually, maybe Prostitute is her name. Yes, Prostitute; along with Greasy Steve, Anvil, and Meathook, she's just one of the many colorful characters you'll meet in Fuckedville, Population You! (A town which unexpectedly seems to have a high percentage of Australians)

So far it's been every bit as bad as advertised. Isn't it great when a game meets your expectations?

Man, I enjoy games that get shit on and shat out. Can't wait to pick this one up on the cheap

Also eyeing the new Rambo coming out. I can see it being in the same class.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Can't wait till it goes on sale on Steam so I can have some hot clothed sex action.

 

[Ultimadrago]

And here I was thinking this would never get an OT.
You're a modern hero, Joe Molotov, as always!

 

[strafer]

Nice scores.

 

[Joe Molotov]

Thank you for your kind words during this difficult time. And to my haters, taint you~!

 

[Zampano]

I've heard there's a patch coming that will address most of the problems with this game.

 

[tjohn86]

Not quite cheap enough yet. It's on my radar though.

 

[fantomena]

Will wait for 2,49€ price,

 

[dirtywhirlwind]

Honestly, it's not as bad as the Metacritic might suggests. It's light entertainment if you have the gut for it.

 

[statham]

when it hits under $3 on steam, this legendary game will be mine.

 

[Trose]

I'm sorry, but I have to play this eventually.

I think it's safe to say that this has been a damned fine year for motorcycle-based Quicklooks.

I can't wait for Ride to Hell: Retribution 2.0 - A Realm Reborn

 

[Martian]

Successor to bad rats incoming?

 

[Joe Molotov]

I just realized I left out a word in the title. FML

 

[metsallica]

It uninstalls it?

 

[Mr. B Natural]

Rather play something that is so bad it's funny than play something so mediocre it's forgettable.

Love this review quote: "At its very worst, Ride to Hell is offensive on philosophical and intellectual levels"

Okay, so it's a videogame.

 

[Revolver]

I remember being interested in this game when it was announced years ago. Shame it turned out so awful. I'll probably check it out some day just out of morbid curiosity.

 

[Zero Hero]

This is the fist GAF OT that ever sold me on a game. Will buy after work.

Thanks Joe.

 

[Teasing_Pink]

Been playing through this the past couple weeks out of pure masochistic enjoyment. It truly gets worse and worse (or better and better?) the longer I play. I think the

Spoiler

dry humping orgy

may be the best worst I've endured so far.

The cosmetic bike customization is surprisingly well detailed though, given how shallow everything else is. It's as if they had a separate team assigned to do nothing but make custom bike parts for the entire duration of development.

Gameinformer "Worst console game of this generation"

Dat money hat.

A week or so later they ran into "Dark", which they hated even more. They at least found Ride to Hell to be so broken that it's funny while Dark was just plain awful.
