Far Cry 4 on PC. Camera control feels horrible with a mouse and I still can't drive a vehicle without hitching every 2 seconds and the audio popping and crackling.

It may be a good game but this is what they've presented me with and I can only react.

Just started Alien: Isolation on the other hand (also PC) and jesus christ what a night a day difference in polish.

Dammit, guess what I picked as my free PS4 game just last night...

 

[Nowhere Man]

I guess Sonic Boom: RoL. But despite it being horribly flawed I didn't hate it, in fact I rather enjoyed it for the most part. It was a mess, but I've played far worse, including some better polished "AAA" titles that I loathed. I managed to avoid playing anything I hated this year. I didn't enjoy Ground Zeroes or The Witch & The Hundred Knight, but I'm not going to call them bad.

 

[Dylan]

Smite.

(It isn't that bad, but I didn't play a ton of games in 2014)

 

[Death Metalist]

Destiny. The gunplay, visuals as well as soundtrack are excellent and clearly the best things about it but everything else is just buried under empty promises and lies.

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I dont know about bad, but three games come to mind. The Evil Within was the worst game I beat this year. And the two games I started and didn't care to finish are Shadows of Mordor and Destiny.

 

[Sulik2]

Super Mario 3D Land. I don't think I like level based Mario anymore. Give me an open world like Mario 64 or be done with it.

 

[KdylanR92]

Bound by Flame, holy hell that was the first game i've ever been burned by[pardon the pun]

 

[TGO]

Theif, still on the shelf after a few hours of play.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Oh nvm, that came out in late 2013.

 

[Mogwai]

Super Mario 3D Land. I don't think I like level based Mario anymore. Give me an open world like Mario 64 or be done with it.

But even 64 is divided into levels. Just sayin'.

 

[Experien]

Roads Not Taken or Fez would have to be my least favortie this year so far.

 

[ghibli99]

This isn't my serious pick (I'll have to take a look at what I played), and I can't remember where, but there was a discussion of your lowest-rated Steam game. Was that here? Anyway, I looked in my library and saw Rogue Warrior with a 29 Metacritic. No idea where or how I got it. Probably some bundle or free offer. I decided to install it.

After about 15 minutes, I stopped and uninstalled. Some could argue it's "so bad it's good" but uh-uh, not me. Horrible, and I'm not even an expert FPS player. Just complete garbage with some truly awful and gratuitously irresponsible content. Too bad Bethesda's name is on it.

 

[Cheat Code]

Loadout PS4. I've never deleted a game so quickly.

I don't even know how they did it after the great PC version.

 

[Memorabilia]

Destiny is by far the most disappointing. Fuck that game and fuck Bungie for lying their asses off about it prior to release. The only game I've asked for and received a full refund in several years. I can take solace in the fact they didn't get my money, only my wasted time.

Other than this I'd say any number of PS+ freebies...I'd say Doki Doki Universe or Stick It To The Man both qualify as sucking hard.

 

[system11]

Don't Starve.

I don't need my hand holding every second of the way, but honestly would SOME clue really hurt? Killed about 20 minutes, never touched it again.

 

[Concept17]

Killzone Shadowfall,Infamous:Second Son,Wolfenstein:TNO and Shadow of Mordor (couldn't even finish this piece of shit)

You should just not play games. Or stick to mobile.

 

[Gandalf]

I think Proteus. I like to give games a fair crack of the whip before I think "nope" but I played it for about an hour and really didn't enjoy it.

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

Destiny, Assassin's Creed Unity, Destiny, Destiny, Destiny.

Just thinking about Destiny feels bad.

 

[Marceles]

Destiny.

I love parts of it but it was the most disappointing purchase of the year for me.

This for me. I guess it wasn't absolutely terrible, but the hype before it compared to actually playing the full version couldn't be more disappointing.

 

[WGMBY]

Theif, still on the shelf after a few hours of play.

This might be mine as well. It wasn't terrible to play, but the levels felt cramped and linear and the "reboot" version of the city just feels generic and boring. The game as a whole felt like a poor man's Dishonored, which itself felt like a poor man's Thief game. The whole thing was a shadow of the series' former glory.

 

[paradox32]

Daylight.
Incredibly boring, ran & looked like shit too.

So true, downloaded and deleted the same week. Atrocious framerate that I believe actually hits 0fps at one point. I genuinely believed at one point my Ps4 had tanked the performance was sooo bad.

 

[fastford58]

It's a toss up for me between Destiny and Tomb Raider remaster.

 

[Hahs]

Facebook's Candy Crush. Destiny/The Dark Below is a fucking masterpiece compared to that crap...yuck!

EDIT:

That's like comparing a Camry to a Corvette - I just hate Candy Crush, I hate Camry's too.

 

[soultron]

Destiny.

I only played until level 12. I hated every hour I played, hit Phogoth and then quickly determined nothing Bungie had done for the late game was going to interest me if that was the precedent they were setting early on. Very happy I decided to quit early rather than slog through any more of that. Too many great games coming out every month (and in my backlog) for me to have to wait 20 hours for a game to "get good."

 

[labx]

Destiny,
I never gone from liking a game to fucking hating it.

The same feelings.

 

[The Illiterati]

I managed to play and finish 81 games(and counting) this year....

Watch Dogs for me. I'm a huge AC fan, I just couldn't stand the over abundant shooter aspects of it. So much potential wasted. I still believe the core of the game could be good in a sequel, but I felt actively angry by the end of this.

 

[DC R1D3R]

MCC

straight doo-doo!

 

[Card Boy]

Destiny for sure.

 

[Phediuk]

Well, it's the last day of 2014, and guess what? Rambo's still the worst game I played.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

It's a tie between MCC and Destiny, which is a shame because they both could have been GOTYAY material.
