What are some truly bad games that are just ridiculous and hilarious?

It's because people use and think of the word "art" in two different ways - "art" as a simple creative project of any sort (which fits the way you guys are using it) and "art" in the sense of something that touches on greatness or excellence in some way - "art" used as a compliment, or synonymous with "good art" or "high art" as opposed to a doodle or something produced merely for commercial gain.

I remember enjoying Two Worlds on the original Xbox. It ran so poorly, there were framerate hitches that lasted 6 or 7 seconds. The character design, the movement, the combat, the enemies - it was all trash, and I thought it was hilarious. I'm not sure I would have the same reaction now, 20 years later, but at the time I thought it was funny as hell.

I mean even though I liked it at the time lets be real....wtf is Postal 2? I had no idea what I was doing nor why I was doing it, all I knew was that I could stick a gun up a cats ass and use it as a silencer, kill and piss on anyone or just go and buy a carton of milk.

Pit-Fighter on the Megadrive was a constant source of amusement for me and a friend.

First time hearing about Deadly Premonition but that video got me interested in the game lol.

Yeah , I was a massive weeb back when these games came out, and I still found the cutscenes in them painfully cringy.
It's a shame too because the gameplay in these Ps3 era Tri Ace games was pretty solid (Resonance of Fate in particular had an amazing combat system), there was clearly some talent there. But the characters, writing and art direction were like a combination of everything that's wrong with anime turned up to 11.

The issue with Star Ocean 4 is not character design but rather its 3D models thats really bad.....Which is something Tri Ace is struggle with most of their games.
2D art works is not bad at all.

Order 1886. Skim any Yt longplay. It'll be about 5.5-6 hrs and half of that is cut scenes, repetitive boss battles and there's so many cutscenes some of the chapters in the game are purely a cutscene to stretch it out.
Forgotten worlds. That old ass arcade and genesis game….. something about an evil paramecium. Fantastic translation!

The story and character is not great but in my opinion it has best combat in modern Star Ocean games.
do it, it's one of the unique JRPG out there.

Thanks, Danjin, I already have it on PS3 and PC.
Resonance of Fate, I remember it was the first game I bought imported online, since it was almost impossible to find and sell in Mexico.
I want to start over, but with the PS4 version.

Yup. I've seen a few episodes and before i did I was always under the impression that it was super dark. The weirdnesses kinda threw me off when I watched it.
Hmmm, I start to see why you could enjoy something like that. I am all for weird, goofy and hilarious shit in some content. Can absolutely appreciate it in some anime and some games. I might have to just see if I can find the game for a super low price for Xbox sometime.
Gollem, oh man. I watched some footage of that, lol. They should have just looked at Styx and made a decent enough action adventure but instead we got this shit. Gollem deserves better. It was in the Xbox sale for five bucks recently, but even for a dollar I wouldn't do it. If it ever comes to Game Pass I'll give it a whirl just for the laughs.
You saved face with that.
Deadly Premonition is legit one of my favorite games of all time.
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.
Damn, Kojima doesn't write likeable characters in your opinion? I never really thought about it I guess, but off the top of my head comes some Metal Gear Solid characters. I have Death Stranding but have yet to play it. But the characters aren't likeable there? Then what is all this immense praise for? Story, gameplay and atmosphere only?
Speaking of Deadly Premonition, didn't that creator also make D3 for Xbox One? I tried that briefly.
The Walking Dead Destinies
This could've been decent but... no.
Omfg, is that the one where you walk through a hallway and only at specific spots there is smoke where you can hide for zombies? The whole hallway should be full of smoke but it's just certain areas, logic and common sense 0,0%
Two Worlds, oh yes. And the sequel too. It did have some good stuff going for it but man, overall it was just so bad.
Risen is another one. Not a bad game het any means, but in 360 it was horrible because of utterly disgusting framerate and blurry, aliased graphics, but the gameplay and atmosphere kept me hooked. There is just something about developer Piranha Bytes. Really enjoyed Risen: Dark Waters as well. But I bet if you look at it now.....sheesh.

Serious Sam but I like it.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Kojima's character are fine but too pretentious. There's a certain earnestness about DP's character progression that makes it so lovable. When the game starts, your protagonist comes off as a dick to the other major NPC's in the game and you can see that play out, you're basically an outsider FBI agent who sees everyone in the town as a suspect but they do such a great job building rapport over the course of the game that when the late-game twists start flying, you're genuinely left befuddled. Mechanically, it plays like an Xbox 360 era AA open world game but the shooting etc is not what you play the game for. It's for the world-building, plot and characters. I recommend people play the game on easy so combat is the least of the problems.
And, yeah, D3 was fine but it was an unfinished game so we never really got to see his full vision
Now, being a massive fan of DP (no, not that kind), I do have to be perfectly honest and say that if you ever get a chance to play Deadly Premonition, consider it a one-and-done game, don't play the sequel. They went the Highlander route and ruined a lot of the good from the first game.

I definitely want to give it a shot now, but I'll have to see if I can find a copy somewhere here or online because it's 20 euros in the Xbox store. But perhaps during a BC sale.

You're better off getting it now or whenever you're willing to spend 20 euros because Deadly Premonition has never gone on sale since it was relisted on the Microsoft Store almost five years ago.

That's the one.

Fahrenheit has one the best intro I've ever seen in a video game then it went retarded after that. It's so well written that I thought it's gonna maintain that whole vibe throughout the game. It's like David Cage keeps losing braincells while developing the game. Shit was so baffling. The hell is wrong with that dude?

Except for the intro, this game is retarded, man.

BF2042 was on launch and in the first few months. Haven't played a game with more glitches and bugs, maybe ever.

I just watched this and yeah, this is absolutely terrible. The ridiculous voices and dialogue, or that fight between Shane and Rick. So, so bad, lmfao! I mean, the stuff these characters say when the zombies attack, it's really something else.
Video is definitely a must watch for some good laughs.

This is not s bad pick at all!
Man I fondly remember how I was looking forward to this game - since it was in development (hell) for so long. I think early development started during the N64 days, later it became a NGC title, before getting finished and released for the Xbox 360.
While the games premise was actually super interesting, its whole momentum was killed by its janky camera, movement AND THOSE UNHOLY AND UNSKIPPABLE DEATH SEQUENCES!! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!?
