Not having any money to buy myself any of the new great games that just came out (SC:CT, God of War, DMC3, Jungle Beat), I've resorted to thining down my backlog, of which BREAKDOWN and many others. Breakdown is one peice of shit. The most redunded level design you'll ever see (and you'll rerun most parts twice thanks to the "kickass" storyline), the worst camera, the most broken gameplay mechanic for an action game I've ever seen, some horrible emphasis on platforming in some parts of the game, the crappiest characters, the worst script and no, the story is NOT good, it's NOTHING we haven't seen before and it's UTHERLY forgettable and full of loop holes.

If you ever see Breakdown in the bargain bin, even for 1.99$, DO NOT PICK IT UP unless it's to spit on the box cover. Do not ever attempt at playing this or you might get sucked into the story, hoping it'll get better when it never does, causing you heeps of frustration and wasted hours.

This is really Namco's breakdown.

On the bright side, I just got a job.

 

[AniHawk]

Jak II.

 

[bitwise]

hah, I couldn't finish Breakdown, it was so bad. WTF was up with XBN giving it glowing praise? i never understood that.

I would say the worst game this gen i finished was probably blinx 1.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Enter the Matrix. I finished all of the extra levels, too...

 

[Nightbreeze]

Umm I don't think I've finished any bad games actually.

The worst one I've finished would probably be Blood Omen 2, though I sorta enjoyed it.

 

[duckroll]

Xenosaga Episode II.

 

[DCharlie]

Luigi's mansion

 

[BigBoss]

The Bouncer

 

[ElyrionX]

Devil May Cry 2

 

[Wario64]

Enter the Matrix

 

[Sanjuro]

The worst game this gen. is Batman: Dark Tommorrow...

Worst game I have finished I give to Enter the Matrix.

 

[JackFrost2012]

Luigi's mansion

True story: I bought Luigi's Mansion new in Akihabara for 980 yen, beat it in a weekend, and sold it back to a game store in Kiryu for 1480 yen.

Considering how awful the game was, I felt like Nintendo paying me 500 yen was pretty justified.

 

[Bristow]

Doom 3

 

[bill0527]

X2: Wolverine's Revenge.

 

[Date of Lies]

Luigi's mansion

Luigi's Mansion is pure fun.

 

[firebricks3]

Honestly, Final Fantasy X. I've never been more alienated in my entire life.

 

[Magnus]

It's a tie between Beyond Good & Evil and DMC2. BG&E left more of a rotten taste in my mouth.

 

[Gregory]

Timesplitters 2.

 

[scissorfight]

Blood Omen 2.

*shudder*

 

[Rhindle]

MGS2. I saw it through out of morbid curiosity in how much pain I could subject myself to while maintaining consciousness.

 

[swoon]

The Bouncer

yeh. also rayman 3.

 

[evil ways]

LOTR Return of the King for Gamecube. Terrible controls.

 

[Andy787]

Blood Omen 2 or The Bouncer. I finished Driver 3, too, but I actually didn't hate it.

 

[radios shipping overview]

I try not to make a habit of finishing games I don't like. However, the game that I did finish that had made itself the most unwelcome by the end of it was probably Wind Waker.

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Hidden Invasion - suck it down bitches! My testicles have more rusty nails pounded in them than yours! :lol

Christ that game was awful, but it was so stupid I was compelled by a higher force to complete it.

 

[Idioteque]

Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo

 

[Gattsu25]

I've bee pretty good with not finishing games I dislike, this gen

I'd like to say Luigi's Mansion--not because I think the game is crap...but meerly because I finished it and don't consider it to be as good as the others I finished. I'm sure there was a horrible game that I finished this gen...one just hasn't come to mind yet.

 

[Harmonica]

Animal Crossing and World Of Warcraft.

 

[Go Go Ackman!]

disgaea

 

[radios shipping overview]

Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo

Oh, hell, I DID finish that. YUCK. >_<

 

[Joe]

antz team racing

 

[Amir0x]

Animal Crossing and World of Warcraft.

This post is funny because you can't actually finish either game (well in AC's case it's like 30 years or something, right) so I guess that was the point

On the other hand, if there was a way I could classify my playtime with Animal Crossing as "finishing the game" then I would because AC is easily the worst game I've played this gen.

 

[Unison]

I've beaten several games in the Sega Classics Collection!

 

[cvxfreak]

MGS2:S

I don't complete games I truly hate though. MGS2 just happens to be the least best one.

 

[bill0527]

Animal Crossing and World Of Warcraft.

So tell us about the ending of World of Warcraft. I must have missed it. Was it a cutscene? Real-time?

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

If I find a game to be really bad, I almost cetainly won't finish it, but here's the worst of the what I did finish.

Enter the Matrix (Xbox)
Hunter: The Reckoning (Xbox)
Resident Evil Zero (GC)
Resident Evil Dead Aim (PS2)
Vampire Night (PS2)
Silent Storm (PC) <- I loved the core game, but it straight broke two thirds in, and I still finished it.

Far Cry would be in there but luckily my old vid card started overheating and saved me from ever playing further.


However, there was no game whose end I enjoyed less than Halo 2. Still pissed off about it.

 

[golduck342]

PN 03. Bought it for $5, and thought it was barely worth it for that price.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Fucking Majora's Mask (it counts since it's on the Zelda collector's disk). I didn't quite beat it as I got the Ganon's final transformation, got bored and quit.

Spoiler

j/k

 

[Lyte Edge]

Toss up between The Bouncer and Death By Degrees for me. I can certainly think of games that are so abyssmal these two titles could be considered A+ games in comparison, but the thread is about games that have been finished.

Props to anyone that actually was able to finish Red Ninja, but that crap is so bad I bet even reviewers never bothered to complete it.

 

[calder]

At first I couldn't remember actually finishing any games I didn't like.


Then it hit me, not only a shitty game I finished but a game with arguably 2 of the worst levels in the history of video games.

 

[Shouta]

Galerians: Ash and X-men: next Dimension.

 

[FoneBone]

I can't think of any genuinely bad games I've finished. The weakest that comes to mind is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for GC -- that was actually a pretty good rental, though...

 

[Jonnyram]

I'm gonna have to go with The Bouncer too.

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

I finished The Bouncer, BTW, but I simply had a good time with it. I dunno, it's just not a game that I regret playing.

 

[Manick Joe]

Throw another log onto the fire of Blood Omen 2. I'm going to have to also bring up the original Champions of Norrath. I actually beat that game 1 1/2 times before it hit me that it was simply a square tapping exercise. However, by far the worst goes to one of Bungie's own creations...

 

[AtomicShroom]

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door.


I never thought I'd come accross a game that is as tedious as Donkey Kong 64. I was wrong. I couldn't wait to be finished with it so that I would never have to play it ever again. The constant back-and-forths through the game world and the endless item fetch quests almost made me go crazy.

 

[Ristamar]

Star Fox Adventures.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude. Augh.

 

[TekunoRobby]

MGS2:S

I don't complete games I truly hate though. MGS2 just happens to be the least best one.

Exact same except I beat the original PS2 version the week it came out. MGS2 was a special case since it happened to be the best of the worst games I played so I trudged through it to see it through the end.

SFA is another gem that I don't ever want to repeat, ugh.

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Oni

Mother fucker! Mother fucker, I will cut you!

Ok... Ok, calm down... Calming... I'll be allright, it's just my thing, that's all.
Just don't even look at me you son of a bitch.
