What is your most hated game of all time? One that made you want to punch babies?

Gears of War online

It's full of complete a$$holes, whose apparent only joy in life is antagonise and annoy people. And there's no way to stop them from being an a$$hole.
 
God i hate all Madden's. If EA didnt have it maybe they would try to make decent games instead of relying on that fucking cash cow
 
PSO on the GCN. bascially I collected all the items in the game got FSOD and deleted by mistake. Got FSOD again after collecting everything for the second time. Also the Fire 3 affected my eyes.
 
Raiders of the Lost Ark for the Atari 2600. What the hell are you supposed to do? I could grenade a hole in the wall at the starting screen and parachute along that stupid branch thing, but after doing that nothing else seemed to work or make sense.

Now for a more modern example - Skies of Arcadia Legends. It really isn't hard except I'm stuck at a save point where I can only do one thing and that is fight this airship battle and my airship is shit compared to this big spider looking monster thing. I lost my patience and haven't touched it since. Too bad too because I was actually enjoying it to that point.
 
Dragon's Lair for the NES is the most frustrating POS game ever made. It's slow, unresponsive, and unrelenting. And that's just the first screen. It gets worse from there. There's simply no excuse for crafting a molded plastic game cartridge filling it with crap.

Actually, Batman Dark Tomorrow gave me the exact same feeling. When, after 3 minutes, you find yourself saying, "Why am I even bothering with this," you know you have a bad game.
 
Forsaken 64, that game was just bad. The graphics were crap, I could never really tell what was what. The music was also pretty bad. The game in general was just plain bad.
 
mostly licensed NES crap

Terminator 2 (NES) : Did anyone ever get past the frickin' "outrun the semi" part of this game. I think it was like Level 2? I still can't...

Addams Family : I paid $60 for this new when I was a kid. Allowance was horded for weeks, maybe months, to get this crap and play it, and realize that it's the hardest thing in the world. (I've almost recently beat it by saving every 2 steps using an emulator, and it is still impossible.
 
Easily Sonic Heroes for the GC. Poor poor poor poor game. The last boss in particular is really aggravating. It's not a hard game by any stretch as far as actual gameplay goes but the camera and the lack of overall control make it tough in precise situations.
 
As for popular games though, my most hated are:
GTA (any)
Zelda
Most Mario games after Super Mario 64
Gears of War
Call of Duty
Any game developed by Bioware
Tom Clancy anything

Someone is starved for attention. 'I'm too cool to like what other people do. Yeah.'

That is the impression that I get too.

Much of the list there defined or redefined entire genres.. with the exception of the clancy games.. and perhaps Mario after 64 (which itself defined the benchmark for a 3d platformer).
 
[quote name='The Crotch']Return of the King. It gets a pass on account of the co-op, but the Helm's Deep 2 Minas Tirath level almost made me stop playing. Horrendously unclear mission objectives and the most useless map in the history of videogames? Why, the only way this could be better is if the level was cluttered with useless allies whose sole purpose is to get in your way when you're running from ladder to ladder![/quote]

A-f'ing-men.

I did stop playing once I hit that level. That map is just absolute crap.

Good lord, you fucking suck. I mean seriously... you seriously *hate* all those games?

*Anything* developed by Bioware?

*Any* Tom Clancy game?

*All* Zelda games?

I'm... I'm just flabbergasted by your list and really it shows that you have terrible fucking taste in life and that's why you're a 24 year old virgin who doesn't drink because his parents would be "disappointed". You could kill yourself and the entire world would instantly become 10-15% cooler.

Dear God this thread makes me laugh.

OMG!!

You don't mean the one where you are constantly throwing batarangs, do you?

And this thread is damn old.

This thread is totally sweet, and doesn't deserve to ever die.. ever.
 
The most frusterating game I've played in a LONG time has to be SSX: Blur for the Wii.

I despise that game and I want to kill its developers and their families.
 
Turok Evolution. Not just because it was an unplayable mess, but because they took a franchise i really enjoyed and stabbed me in the back. To this day it is my worst gaming purchase.

[quote name='jer7583']If we want to talk about mainstream, popular games.. I can't stand all those cookie cutter NIS Strat/RPGs that the supposedly "hardcore" flock to just because it's 2D and got anime characters.[/quote]

Sounds like someone got killed by Mid-Boss in Episode 4. :lol:

I have no idea what kind of NIS fans you've been exposed to, but I adore them for the insane depth of customization and side quest volume.
 
[quote name='hohez'] To this day it is my worst gaming purchase.[/QUOTE]
My worst gaming purchase was Mech Assault 2 at launch, and that was a pretty damn good game.

I regretted buying it because I couldn't really afford it (I only bought it at launch because I wanted the XBLA disk that came with it... which was stupid, I could have gotten it for free, and it was rather dissapointing anyways).


What can I say? I'm VERY selective about my videogame purchases. The only games I've bought for full price at launch besides Mech Assault were Halo 2 and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory (actually, I paid more than full-price, as I got limited editions of both).
 
oh yeah superman 64. the cartoon got me so hyped up for this game i preordered it and everything. release day i rushed to ebgames, took my copy home and went on one of the longest curse word tireades ever. no game has ever been that much of a letdown to me ever the only decent part of the game was flying aroudn everythign else was complete. first and only game ive ever taken back the same day i bought it.

Us fans like to forget such things.
 
While I love Grand Turismo games, I can't stand the license test they make you do in every game. I remember the countless hours trying to get "bronze" on those test just so I can drive in more races. Not to mention trying to get gold to obtain the special cars. The A license and Expert license test seemed to become even difficult to obtain in GT3 and GT4. Some of my most frustrating gaming moments where I when I think I'm about to get a low enough time to pass the test and I miss it by .01 seconds. Those were moments I wanted to throw my controller out a window.

I've tried every game in the series since then because I always forget (or hope they removed) the tests to really get into the game. Horrible, horrible design choice. I'd much rather get my butt handed to me in races and learn in-game than assume I will fail because I can't take a hairpin turn fast enough to finish a lap at the right amount of time.
