So yesterday I was watching this video, I remember this game. Not that I ever played it, but this video perfectly shows what a ridiculous game this is. It makes zero sense, has no logic, has utterly ridiculous voice acting and just genuinely makes you wonder what the fuck these devs were thinking.

But holy shit if it isn't entertaining to watch.



So yeah, post yours here, I'm sure there's way more.

The most recent one must be Mindseye.

This one comes to mind:

Bubsy 3D: Bubsy Visits the James Turrell Retrospective - Wikipedia

It's a bad game layered in irony. Pretty darn funny, imo.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Bulletstorm

 

[kiphalfton]

I'm convinced those praising Deadly Premonition are in on some dumb running gag.

The game sucks on all levels

 

[Sunraku]

Ninja Blade on the Xbox 360

Game is janky as hell, the story segments make no sense and the QTE's are hilarious at times

 

[Hashassin]

Urban chaos Ps1.

Deadly Premonition but it's also very good

Yes! I never got this either.

Genuinely curious what makes it good.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

Starfield. The most retarded shit I've ever played. From the quests to the grotesque NPC's

 

[Pasta la Vista]

If you're familiar with Twin Peaks, it has that sort of vibe. Personally I never thought it was actually a good game but it is pretty hilarious.

Marlow Briggs and The Mask of Death. If something isn't exploding, then it is about to explode.

If you want to cringe, those early Xbox 360 era JRPGs are a goldmine

[diffusionx]

Carmageddon 64 is the worst game I've ever played but it's kind of hilarious how bad it is

 

[JimmyRustler]

How can anyone play Deadly Premonition and not say Deadly Premonition. Game was absolutely hilarious.

I will not sit here and listen to this nonsense.

Deadly Premonition is the best bad game ever made.

(It's the story and the quirk that makes it endearing. Either you like that b-movie camp or not)

So bad it's awful.

It is indeed hilarious, but it's not a bad game.

Yeah I have given up on those games because iirc there wasn't a option for japanese voices. And I can't and won't deal with ear raping English dubs in jrpgs. That dinner dinner part is so bad, lmao.

And lyml in Star Ocean is......yeah...

 

[Kupfer]

We had some cheesy stuff in the 2000s

 

[Lee49]

David Cage's games for dogshit writing.

 

[Humdinger]

Yes! I never got this either.

I think it's the sheer strangeness of it. The weirdness of the characters in particular. For instance, Francis York Morgan (lead character) is apparently schizophrenic and has conversations with a voice in his head named Zack about old movies and other nonsense. Other characters are equally weird.

The game was consciously aping the qualities of Twin Peaks, a show by David Lynch. Have you seen that? If so, that is some of the "weirdness" that the game trades off of. Francis York Morgan is a direct reference to the main character in Twin Peaks (I forget his name). I'm just scratching the surface here. The Twin Peaks weirdness pervades the game.

People who say that it's "so bad that it's good" are missing this piece. The game is good because it is so weird, so strange - and because it embraces its weirdness enthusiastically. The "bad" aspects of the game (e.g., poor performance) are a sideshow. The real charm is how weird and unique the game's characters are.

Compelling evidence for the age old question:
"Are games Art?"

 

[Danjin44]

Music is art but we also have terrible music, same with movies….heck even paintings.

I believe any form of human expression can be art, even if the end result is a pile of dogshit.

I don't know why they see a bad game and consider entire "game not art" even tho many different artist work on one game.

We have MANY terrible music made but that doesn't mean music are not art….just like everything made by man it doesn't always will turn out great.

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

So bad it's good works with movies. Not sure there's many games that can do that

Agreed my man. Imo being good or bad isn't what defines art, but the fact that some person put their feelings and a little part of themselves into creating something new out of nothing.

[Hashassin]

Oh, and Gollum! Surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.
That game has 100 ridiculous and 100 hilarious. Also pitiful, preposterous, shameful, despicable, disgusting and perhaps just about any negative adjective.

If you add an apology letter for how bad your game is, you are truly bottom tier. And of top of that, the letter was filled with errors.

You saved face with that .

Deadly Premonition is legit one of my favorite games of all time.

Genuinely curious what makes it good.

It's a title with great ambition made on a shoestring budget. Imagine if Kojima actually wrote likeable characters.

Game play is not the strong suit but the world but the world and characters are some of the best.

If you're remotely a fan of Twin Peaks season 1 and 2, think of it as an unofficial adaptation in terms of the broad plot and character outline. Even if you're not and want to play an ambitious AA ass AA game, it's a good choice.

 

[Ozzie666]

Superman 64 says hold my beer. Outshines even turds like E.T and Pac-Man on Atari 2600, but they weren't that bad for the time.

 

[Rush2112]

Life is strange was pretty bad. I dont know why I even finished it.

 

[JimmyRustler]

It is indeed hilarious, but it's not a bad game.

I'm convinced people saying it's not bad are blinded by it's hilariousness. It's pretty bad alright and I doubt anyone would even care for it if it wasn't for writing and setting.

 

[adamsapple]

It is indeed hilarious, but it's not a bad game.

Here here.

The characters are better written than the majority of "AAA" games releasing now.

 

[yogaflame]

Pepsi man but I enjoyed it during the Ps1 era.

 

[GymWolf]

One of my buddies had pax corpus on ps1, probably one of the worst games i ever seen.

This could've been decent but... no.
