Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes - $60 for a F*CKING DEMO!
Kingdom Hearts - I still deeply regret getting this for the PS2

lineage series

Dragon's Dogma 2，fk capcom

Warcraft III: Reforged

Rampage for N64.

I quite loved the older version and the newer versions. There isn't much to the games though.


In terms of disappointment, was the T2 game in the 90s. Gameplay was okay, but I finished it in 20 minutes after it cost $60.

I think there were a lot of bad movie tie in games. Like the back to the future console games were trash.

Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes - $60 for a F*CKING DEMO!

Ground Zeroes was never sold for $60. It launched at $30.
Also it's a good game. I'd rather pay $30 for a good short game I get 5 hours out of than any Ubisoft or EA slop I want to turn off after 5 minutes.

Worst game I've played is probably Fallout 4, although I was wise enough to pirate it. To be fair there are way worse games, I just don't play them.

Maze Suite on FC, I watched the entire walkthrough process of this game on a video website last night. The process is ridiculously complicated. The store where you can buy props is hidden, and you have to meet two conditions to get the key... You have to attack someone. You need some bricks to know if there is a room with hidden props..
If you can't enter the store, you can't buy props. If you don't have props, you can't meet the BOSS...
And the operations are repeated in this way for four consecutive levels.
I'm grateful that I didn't encounter such a torturous game as a child.

I have a terrible habit of vouching for bad games because I either enjoy the concept too much or the gameplay is just good enough to have redeeming qualities, but I just can’t find anything good about Sonic: The Dark Brotherhood. Yes it seems obvious but when I was younger the idea of a Sonic RPG was too cool to not buy into, only to discover nothing was worthwhile. I don't know if I should be relieved that they never made another game in the planned series, or angry that they wanted to do an entire series of that garbage.

Any game with critters. Really hate all of them. You dont need critters to make it scary. Critters NOT scary just disgusting. Damn...

Lego Indiana Jones 2 for the Nintendo DS.

Only has one story and that's Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Didn't mind the 4th movie as I liked it and it's a lot better than the Dial of Destiny. But what really rubbed me the wrong way is that is the only one in this version of the game and doesn't have the first, second and third stories. Glad I sold it off with my other DS games off at a game store for a good price.

Worst of all time? Probably that bad Lego Star Wars game for the DS. You know the one.

Worst popular game of all time? Persona 5. It promotes a disturbing fantasy: that the only way to combat corruption is through mind control, forcing people to confess their crimes by giving them a sense of guilt. The game paints every real-world legal option to oppose corruption as a futile thing that only hurts you and other innocent people, leaving you with only one unrealistic alternative...

Using magic.

The central mechanic, "stealing someone's heart," is just a euphemism for robbing them of their self-justifications, which is clearly ethical if they are "distorted" from the one objective truth and causing unethical people to abuse workers/kids/animals/the law/etc. Yes, objective truth exists in this universe even in a world where reality can be magically subjective sometimes. The game glosses over the ethical dilemma of this mind-control tactic by framing it as merely correcting the "distorted desires" of undeniably evil adults. But even in this fantasy world, the writers are hesitant to explore real consequences or the complex nature of justice. Instead, they present a simplistic moral framework where the end justifies the means, allowing the protagonists to "change hearts" without ever engaging with real ethical questions. And they also don't. Because even though magic can fix objectively immoral people, the story still doesn't want us to get involved until we're forced to at the story's pace. Does this "game" even want to be a video game? Or an anime with forced grinding?

We're robbing evil people of their flawed justifications for evil, their distorted view of reality, so they confess to everything. That's objectively good. But the writers can't commit to that! They say we're "changing hearts" and "stealing distorted desires" which raises ethical questions already answered correctly by superior societies that sterilize or execute real pedophiles instead of slapping their wrists and adding their names to a list only to remove those names after a few years. "Is it really moral to steal the distorted desires of an actual child predator preying on children and abusing children and promoting child abuse too? Only if he's got our nuts in a vice and our backs against the wall!" says the game. The safest approach. The weakest approach. The writers didn't trust you to be on board with stopping Kamoshida using magic until it was confirmed to be a you problem and magic was the only solution.

Magic is routinely painted as the only way to change the world for the better. Magic and faith in the right people with uncheckable power. The game ended with the heroes killing the demiurge and refusing to entrust humanity's future to the machine(the system), the updated rerelease ended begging people not to retreat into fantasy worlds where everything is okay, and yet the bulk of Persona 5 fans still say "I wish the Phantom Thieves were real" or "I want this character" or "I want these characters to hook up" instead of actually trying to do any real activism. This game wears rebellion as an aesthetic but committing to any philosophy or political ideology would threaten marketability. Shido is a bad man who happens to be a politician, Tora is a good man who happens to be a politician, but we don't know if they're fighting to give the system more power or less, make taxes higher or lower, fight for taxes to go to this group or that group, because saying things must change isn't risky, arguing for a way things can be better is risky.

The game sends the message that hope for a better world rests in the hands of those with uncheckable, supernatural power completely divorced from any real-world activism or effort. By the end, the heroes even kill the demiurge and reject "the system," but the underlying message is hollow. Fans of the game don’t walk away with a desire to fight real injustice. Instead, they retreat into fantasies about the Phantom Thieves or obsess over fictional characters, ignoring the very message the game supposedly wants to send: that we can't afford to retreat from reality. Despite its rebellious aesthetic, Persona 5 refuses to commit to any real philosophy or political stance. Nobody takes issue with the parents and teachers who tolerated and enabled Kamoshida. It offers a safe, apolitical rebellion, one that criticizes specific bad people without challenging the systems that allow them to thrive until the concept of the system is personified as a big evil robot to be shot in the face by Satan. Shido is a corrupt politician, Tora is a noble one. Why? Because Tora likes the kids and Shido doesn't. The game never dares to explore the bigger issues of power, governance, or political ideology. It says “things need to change” without ever risking the controversy of telling us how things should change. And that's the game’s biggest failure: it’s rebellion without substance, a hollow cry for justice that refuses to risk having its definition of justice scrutinized.

Also, this video game could have been a movie. It wishes it was a movie. It wants you to play it at its pace. They take forever to explain simple concepts because they expect every audience member to be an idiot new to these concepts. It will even make your choices redundant with bad RNG. You wanted to spend time with this character? Your bond doesn't deepen, the game says so. Reload a save and spend that time with someone else. It's insulting to your time and intelligence.

BF 2042

It still stings

(EDIT: there was a few lines here wondering what's the problem with BF2142. There wasn't; the original quote's post was about 2042. What a difference just one number can make...)

As for the main topic - Unreal 2 : the awakening. Player movement is slow (in a series that had to compete with fricking Quake!), combat is boring, weapons are uninspired, story is bland and cliché. The only characters of any mention are a Jar-Jar Binks rip-off and a Miss Cleavage Space Fashion (who again, doesn't have enough cleavage to make the game interesting). No surprise that there never was a third game, it was all U:T afterwards.

The only positive (?) of the game is that it taught me the concept of 'the rule of Uncool'. Meaning, while playing you realize that you aren't really having fun. Then, a voice beeps in with lame remarks like 'Cool!', 'Yeah!' etc., all delivered with the energy of a soulless corporate entity. You were not having fun before; now you're only more aware of that.

I bought the game because someone on Steam claimed it to be a "spiritual predecessor to Mass Effect". Bigger lies were never told.

Gamestop was unable to sell any copies of Unknown 9 apart from the 50 early pre-orders, which is only $10 down.




Some of the 240 people playing the game on steam got the game for free from an AMD game bundle.


The game has sold near zero in actual sales.

I would like some backstory on this one. While it had its problems I had a lot of fun playing it, and as the Commo Rose was still in you actually had a means of communication without a microphone headset.

It's a fucking hero shooter in a world where hero shooters are dime a dozen, dropping all the mainstay features that made Battlefield a popular franchise to begin with. Instead you get this soulless copy of every modern f2p shooter where the focus is always on YOU and how YOU are special and YOUR character is twice-disabled mixed race proud woman and YOUR weapon skins are golden dragons and YOUR abilities make YOU different from everyone else.

Teamwork? Squads? Communication? In a Battlefield game? What's that!? We don't want to encourage any of the behavior that can make the game fun or exciting. Just the sort of narsissistic, predictable running and gunning that devolves every match into the same meaningless slop indistuinguishable from the previous round. More of that, please.
Not to mention If all the players were just identical soldiers then you might start forming opinions on them based on their playstyle, skills or communication. Too risky. Better to have twelve or so pre-defined cartoon character stereotypes and no way to communicate. That way you'll always know ahead of time what to think of each, who's good at what, and we can all rest easy knowing nobody will offend you in a game about killing people.

Then to top it off, how about shipping the game with the worst performance and overall levels of bugginess ever seen from any video game sold in physical stores. The cherry on top.

The question to ask isn't "why don't people like Battlefield 2042?". It's: "what conceivable reason would a person have to purchase and install Battlefield 2042?". It has the same name as other, good games? Is that it?

FRICKING FORK MATE, my mistake. I misread it as BF 2-1-4-2, which was... well a re-skinned BF2 but with Titan battles. Which wasn't a bad thing, as BF2 was so good. Haha. Was wondering why the talk about woke and heroshooter and all that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
Damn. I'll go edit my previous comment to clarify that one.
(never tried 2042, EA's been on the blacklist for years now.)

Oh yeah BF 2142 is pretty cool even though it felt a lot like a BF2 mod. But a good mod.

EA ruined so many of my favorite games with their execs making bad decisions to remove features from games to differentiate their products.

Starfield is a pretty recent one I regret getting.

the guy game, easily.
but i purchased it knowing its bad. because it has legal 17 year old titties!.

obviously they dont tell you which girl it is as they all lied about their age.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien ~Enhanced Eunuch Edition~
Especially the English version, compared to the Japanese language of the Eunuch Edition.

It's even more censored than Dreamcast and PS2 version.
Not to mention, despite cutting so many stuff from old version, I don't think it add any new content.

The English translation probably low quality too.
