WORST GAME EVER.

[Toaster]

Shadow Madness

After paying 2.50 for this on-line (brand new) and having spent 5 hours with it. I've just wasted the worst 5 hours in my life. A HORRIBLE GAME. Ugh! And here I thought 2.50 would never be too much to pay for a game, al beit Shadow Madness to prove me wrong.

And for the category of worst good game is Dragon Warrior VII. What with it's completely un-rewarding endgame, monotonous gameplay, and punishing balance. What a complete and total ****ing waste of 50 bucks and 100 hours. >_<

Re: WORST GAME EVER.

I think Shadow Madness has worth in it's characters and writting.

And let's not start another DWVII debate. Some people like it, some hate it. The real question is when the heck we are getting DWVIII!

Yeah besides you still haven't played Gravity Games: Bike... then, and ONLY then you shall know what the term of "worst game ever!" truly means...

I got three copies of 'Shadow Company' for $5 from Target for PC once.

Terrible, terrible interface. I hold that as the worst game ever.

Re: WORST GAME EVER.

Okay, I'm pushing for a new direction in this thread. Everyone, post the worst game you've ever played.

And yes, Shadow Madness is horrible. The battle system, AND it's characters dialogue. It was refreashing at first (Stinger and Harv-5 telling some spolied brats they were just released from the mental instutution and they were gonna cook them). But really, it gets old fast. It's self-depreciating, and the characters constantly sound like they're going to kill each other--what with the constant *****ing and all.

Also, the sotryline is lame. Oooh! People are being infected by the SHADOW MADNESS. Instead of people acting insane, the come off as just silly. And don't get me started on the horrible, horrible graphics. And there's the utterly horrible interface, menus, inventory system, pre-rendered backdrops, lame world map, random encounter system, and insulting battle system. Stay away.

On a side note, Devil May Cry 2 was the biggest dissapointment ever.

Ghost House for the Master System. I was really good at that game, and it was almost kinda cool, but it would never end. So f*ck that game.

Re: WORST GAME EVER.

My worst game ever: Ultimate Fighting Championship for Playstation. I owned it once... for 20 minutes. Then I went back to the store and claimed that the disc was messed up. It was their only copy, so I lucked out and got my $40 back, which I used to buy Wild Arms 2 and have extra pocket money.

Concerning Shadow Madness: Yes, the graphics are hideous, the battle interface superfluous and the various other fundamental flaws. But in my humble opinion, the script, the characters, and overall humor of the entire game made it bearable enough for me to play through.

The ending sucked, though. Usually during every ending I have a bittersweet feeling...(and the endings for FF6 and Chrono Trigger had me at/near tears) this one I felt nothing.

A Boy and his Blob, NES. It could just be that I didn't know what the heck I was doing. Either way, I didn't like it.

Donkey Kong 64. Okay, I actually liked it some. But dang, they went totally overboard with the whole scavenger hunt deal. I mean, every single area you have to go over at least five times, since only certain Kongs can get certain bannanas, coins, gold banannas, blueprints, etc. To think I was able to play through the game and find almost everything, save for one battle arena on the hub world.

And then there's this game. I never played it, but I don't have to.

Watch the video review, too. It's near the bottom. Use the Stream for Free option if you're not paying for the site; you'll probably have to go through an ad first.

Yoshi's Story was a pretty big ****slap to the face.

There is this paintball game for the computer. The opponents don't even shoot at you. Also, you can run through obstacles.

Re: WORST GAME EVER.

Goldeneye Rogue Agent. I'm still ****ed at that game even though it's been 4 months since I played it. I was excited about the game a lot. I then realized it was just a marketing ploy showcased by EA. The game was boring, pointless, and lazily designed, signifying EA just used the name to drive the game, not the actual concept.

Re: WORST GAME EVER.

I nominate:

-Any PC game from the lower half of Something Awful's Game Reviews (like Evel Knievel 3D Stunt Game); questionable humour quality aside, they really ARE some terrible games.

-Bloodrayne: No f@#$ing reason for this game to exist. Bugged cutscenes, gameplay that centers around jumping puzzles and broken gunplay with close range as a last resort (and you will have to resort to this at some point) and some nigh-unbeatable enemies halfway in made me sell this. And I'm the kind of guy that never sells games without a darn good reason. I took those $2 and spent them on myself.

-Finally, TOP SHOP for the PSX. Agetec published it over here. I played it once and then shelved it for good. It just didn't make any sense or contain any fun.

So, uh, yeah.
