Top 5 worst PC games ever played!

Most Disappointing

1. System Shock 2. I bought this twice and both times couldn't get into it. Stupid guns falling apart.

2. Deus Ex. Again couldn't get into it, probably partly because i did not have a 3DFX card and it used to run the crap in D3D mode with cards at the time.

3. Locomotion. After the greatness that was Transport Tycoon a sequel comes out 10 years later and is worse the original! Complete madness.

4. Day of Defeat Beta 2.0. Beta 1.3b was a great if highly flawed game. This was just pants. Dod_Oslo ruled!

5. Monkey Island series. Full throttle was brilliant but for some reason they did nothing for me :(
 
If someone doesn't like a game, no matter what game, doesn't make them wrong if 90% of others here do rate it highly. It's subjective and that is that. There is no wrong or right. Did you like it or not? Not everyone is going to like Deus Ex or Crysis for example.;)
 
I enjoyed most of the games I've played, there was always something there, but then again I was possibly lucky to avoid the real turleys, except for one BIG exceptione, and that's SPORE.

That's the most rubbish game I've ever played bar none, I got so angry at it I broke the DVD in half and chucked it away.

And to think I actually upgraded my PC in anticipation of it. Graphics that were on the level of a Nintendo 64, and gameplay that was mainly a glorfied version of Simon.

Even now I'm getting upset just thinking of it!

Half Life 2 for me, i get terrible motion sickness when i play it, more so than any other, so any time i try to get a bit further i end up feeling rotten.

No other game actually makes me sick, still unsure why it affects me more than anything else.

I don't really think that's fair, it doesn't make it a bad game just because it gives you motion sickness.
 
So the general gist of this thread seems to be that you are to insert 5 of the most popular PC games you can think of here and then sit back smugly thinking you're just hilarious:

I'm rolling with

1. Half Life 2
2. Portal
3. Battlefield 2
4. Counterstrike: Source
5. Left 4 Dead

I thought the whole idea of the thread was that everyones opinions and tastes are different. Hmm mabey i'm just not cynical enough ;)
 
Ok, some properly bad games Ive played.

Lander - Got it free with a video card. 1st level, fly up and then land. 2nd Level, fly through 1 hoop. 3rd level, go and rescue someone in a mine (that requires flying through tight tunnels) then fly them to saftey. With a time limit. And you burn fuel at an alarming rate. Prepare to fail that mission hundreds of times.

Pizza Tycoon - I bought this one on the hopes it would be like Transport Tycoon quality and I enjoy management games. First problem is dealing with the random customers. Their tastes change daily. The pizza making contests are nearly impossible thanks to the computers speed. You can make a perfect looking pizza and get it rejected by all and a pizza you made as a joke is somehow popular (i stuck a whole lobster onto a base and it sold like crazy).

An RTS game I cant remember the name of - Looks just like Starcraft. Shame thats where the compairson ends. It was a cheap clone.

Empire Earth - I was told this would be a great game for multiplayer. Then we started at epoc 1. 8 Hours later, we were at the modern warfare bit and just starting to attack each other. I closed the game and uninstalled it after that. No rts multiplayer game should last 8 hours.

Now for popular games i didnt 'get' and to sound edgy and cool over.

Half Life - Poor start, 'meh' middle and a 'WTF' end. Why people love this game is beyond me.
Grid - Hollywood car chase, with crappy shaky cam. In brown! Minus the fun of a hollywood car chase.
Dawn of War 2 - Wheres the Chaos? And why cant I build any buildings? And I shouldnt have to hold the hands of my army and lead them about all the time. They are big soldiers now, they should be able to take cover themselves.
Final Fantasy VII - The only good character in there was RedXIII.
UO - Just to annoy people.
 
FarCry 2 + UT3

I'm sure if i was sat at home looking at my collection i could find three others - but these two stick in my head. Take away the hype and expectation maybe they would have just been "also haves" in my collection.
 
Any of the hundred of small scale RTS that have existed over the years, Warlords 2: Battlecry sticking in my mind.

Also Spore, Hospital Tycoon and Heroes of Might & Magic 4.

Wow, in my opinion one of the greatest FPS shooters of all time. I loved it, I had it on 360 and the PC -.-

I wanted it to be a Dues Ex / Fallout 3 type thing, based on the original pencil & paper RPG, was sorely disappointed that it was just another FPS arena game.
 
Dont know if I can get to the full 5 games, i tend to review a certain amount before getting anything.

1) Vietcong 2. Tried the first level, graphics were rubbish, sound was rubbish, everything was rubbish, couldnt even shoot straight. This is having completed Vietcong and Fist Alpha, and having replayed these several times.

2) Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. Demo looked good, played OK - game was dire, trudge through pointless jungle scenarios being constantly sniped by unseen snipers in trees, coupled with unstoppable banzai charges and bolt-action rifles that reloaded so slow you could make a cup of tea in between shots!

3) Flatout 3: Ultimate carnage. Better graphics, better tracks, more cars. And terrible music, coupled with near indestructible cars made it a lousy game compared to its predecessors. Surely to improve Flatout 2 a series of difficulty levels would have been better?

4) Halo. Great fun for the first several levels, then a boring, repetitive trudge-fest with the same 2 guns through masses of identical boring enemies. Doom with upgraded graphics.

5) Fear 2. Not bought it or played full game, but done the demo. Rubbish, consolised, and in some places worse graphics than the original, which did look excellent at the time. Guns all looked the same, or felt too weak and indistinguishable when using them.

OK ok, there are some poor games out there. Must..... review..... harder.

Only reason I didnt put FarCry 2 in was that it isnt a *bad* game all round. Guns are realistic, huge variety, amazing scenery, some lovely graphics, good voice dialogue (even though far too little of it) - it just gets let down on story, and repetitiveness, and should have been an AWESOME game, and just ended up a bit of a disappointment. Still finished it tho.
