[Mazi] Top 5 worst games

Posted by mazimadu on Oct. 1, 2007, 6:20 p.m.

Ah another week down and the test week begins. In college I have already gone through 2 out of 5 test. One I aced and the other I flunked. Luckily for me, each test only is like 2% of your grade. It is the final that counts as 80% of the rest of the grade. That means I have a lot of studying to do.

In my previous blog I said I was going to download Visual3d.NET and Blade3d to test the engines. I did, but blade3D asked me to register the product before I could use it. This is free, but my college uses bluesocket which blocks peer-to-peer sharing (ie online gaming and others) making it impossible to use. 58megs down the toilet. Visual3d works very well and has a bunch of (working) demos complete with A.I and editor. You can even edit these demos in realtime (however this means the animations and effects move as you edit, slowing my PC down). Unfortunately, I could not edit from scratch. But since it is a beta, this is good enough, I cant wait for it to be released.

Top 5 worst games

I know that there are a lot of bad games out there and there are some that suck more than others, but it takes a special kind of suck to be considered the worst game of all time. There will be no yoyogame's on this list (there will be in the near future), on the games that thought they could exploit the "mindless" in to buying there creative junk line George Bush did in the 2004 US elections, and failed, miserably.

5.Bubsy series

This guy is so cool he can beat any NintendoSega Game with the utter of just a sly catch phrase. Yeah right! Originally planned (and Hyped) to be the next sonic the hedgehog/ mario, the bobcat was "designed" to house sonic and mario from there respective consoles simultaneously. But with such bad controls, terrible collision detection(you can die even when you jump on enemies) and no health,mushrooms,hearts,etc to fall back on, this was just another franchise that failed before it began. It was followed up with 2 sequels (including the abysmal mario 64 clone in "3D") it packed up and ran from the fans (what fans) that wondered what happened to the planed TV show.

4. 3D BallZ

We have our bad games in our gaming life, and then theres BallZ (is that too suggestive?). This game was a fighting game for the SNES ( IN 3DDD!!!) that puts Shaq Fu to shame and tricked your parents into buying it coz it looks like a friendly puzzle game. With an altogether bad control scheme, Clowns that hump the air(I'm not making this up) and music that sounds like a big budget Porn movie (Really, I'm not making this up), I see why they didn't feature any meaningful box art or advertising.

Quote: Commercial
"To be the champion, you gotta have Ballz!"
If you want to see professional bastardization of this game go here to see ballZ in your face (is that also to suggestive)

3. E.T

This game is bad, No, this game is BADD!! This game is so bad that is single handedly caused the end of the 2nd generation game era ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983 ). It was so bad that millions of copies were destroyed and buried in the desert. This adds to my theory that "YOU CANNOT MAKE A BLOCKBUSTER GAME (LET ALONE A MOVIE GAME) IN A FEW WEEKS".

2. Superman 64

The man of steel has had a rough time in the game world. Why, the game is just a piece shit fucks, (where is my AVGN, I want him to insult this game) The game is nothing more than a bastardization to the entire franchise. It is even as bad as Batman and Robin (the movie), another bastardization machine.

1. Big rigs

ok(big breath), alright (cough, inhale, cough), If you see this game any where(on the street, at the store, with a friend) steal it, burn it, kill the people still selling it, it is an abomination to all mankind ant the entire gaming world. It sucks. It was so bad that it gave Gamespot's Alex Navarro a heart attck ( really it did)( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB1zWEhgrLs ).

It is so bad that I cant start with it so I will copy and paste something from wikipedia.

Quote: Wikipeiea
The box of Big Rigs states that the player may "race trucks across the country, with cops chasing [him or her]." GameSpot considered this description of the game to be nothing more than "horrible, horrible lies" since there is no police presence in the game. Additionally, they pointed out, the computer-controlled opponent vehicles have no AI and never move from the starting position, making even the description of the gameplay as a "race" questionable.

There technically are no obstacles for the player to negotiate in Big Rigs, as the truck may freely be driven on and off roads without any loss of traction, straight up 90° inclines, through structures (there is no collision detection whatsoever), and even out of the boundaries of the map. When the truck drives out of the boundaries, it enters an endless, grey void. Furthermore, as the truck approaches a bridge, the truck simply falls right through. When the player's truck is put into reverse, it has no peak velocity; as the reverse key is held, the truck will accelerate infinitely. However, the truck will halt instantly when the reverse key is released.

Upon completion of the race, the player is presented with a large, on-screen trophy cup overlaid with the text "YOU'RE WINNER !" Due to a developer oversight, the game occasionally fails to distinguish between whether the player is starting or finishing the race when they pass through the starting checkpoint, and so this screen may appear to end the race before it even begins. In addition, one of the game's five maps causes the game to crash altogether when accessed.

Stellar Stone released a patch that fixes some of the game's glitches. With the patch, the opponent does participate in the race, but stops before it reaches the finish line. The fifth map that caused the game to crash when selected was also fixed. However, the patch replaced the broken track with a mirror image of the first track, without changing the corresponding preview image or name.

What a load of Ballz (again with the ballZ).

Now with that said, I can now eat cos the game list is finally over.

RUNNERS UP:

1. Hotel mario: Along with Link faces of evil and the entire philips CD-i console and library.

2. Lair (ps3): The game sucked!!

3. Sonic Nextgen: Sega, This game is a load of B***, Ok enough.

When I first saw some reviews of Big Rigs, I downloaded it purely to see how bad it was. Take my advice, don't bother. There is no gameplay, the loading time is horrendous, the physics are non-existant, there is no aim to it, no police cars, no racing, and one level doesn't even work at all. Definetly not worth a download =]

@ Crane Games

Batman and robin sucks. It was so bad it was disowned by WB. Really, It was a colorful cartoon movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_%26_Robin_%28film%29

Thats funny, I thought Bush won in '04.

Maybe I'm mistaken.

mazimadu 17 years, 1 month ago

He won, but the election was rigged. No one liked bush and he sent his troops to war in iraq for no reason, but he won anyway.

PhantomModerator4 17 years, 1 month ago

No one liked Gore or Kerry either.

I would have thought the 5 worst games were those 15 thousand mario clones on the frontpage…
