I've been playing through a lot of Xbox 360 and Xbox One games these past few weeks to buff up my Gamerscore, it's going pretty well but what I've noticed is that I've played a lot of drivel, so that got me to thinking, what's the worst game or games that you've ever had to play? Some that spring to mind for me:
- Conflict Denied Ops (Xbox 360)
A shooter that tries to be ARMA, Call of Duty, Call of Juarez, Spec Ops the Line and a third person shooter all at the same time, needless to say the result is a sloppy mess of a game that can barely be played.
- D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die (Xbox One)
A confusingly weird mess of a game that was put onto Games with Gold for a good reason, with unnecessary features all over the place and some of the most bloody monotonous missions I've ever played, such as making sure a carpet has no creases on it, I wish I was joking.
- Daikatana (Steam)
John Romero is my bitch now.
- Damnation (Steam)
One of the buggiest and blandest games I've ever played in my entire life, really awful with a fedora wielding main protagonist.
- Destiny (Xbox 360)
Bring on the hate, this game was bland, had a shoddy story and the only notably nice thing about the game was Peter Dinklage's performance, it's just another sub par MMO-esq game that fell into the pile of tat that'll get eaten up by World of Warcraft, along with The Elder Scrolls Online, Neverwinter (Which is actually pretty good) and Warframe.
- Halo 4 (Xbox 360)
343's first attempt at an original Halo game was, not a good one, chin up though lads, there's always Halo 5 to cock up later.
- Jumper: Griffin's Story (Xbox 360)
I was given this game for free, I see why I was given this game for free. Easy gamerscore at least...
- Peter Jacksons King Kong (Xbox 360)
I wouldn't have had a problem with this game if it had actually stuck to the source material. It did not, I don't remember the movie featuring any flying bats or burning of bushes every five seconds.
- The Raven, Legacy of a Master Thief (Xbox 360)
Poor voice acting, poor gameplay, poor controls, a poor game overall.
- Summer Athletics 2009 (Xbox 360)
Mash the A Button for 5G. It's like the half hour triathlon on GTA V, but for six hours without the fun and more repetitive strain injuries.
- Truck Racer (Steam)
*choking noises of anger*
- Truth or Lies (Xbox 360)
A barely functional THQ party game that uses the microphones that people use when playing Lips.
- Watch_Dogs (Xbox 360)
A very underwhelming game, was too hyped up for it's own good.
- World of Leaders (Steam)
Game has been out a good few months, less than 100,000 people have bought it, how do I know? The discount is still on until more than 100,000 people buy their game. A Koala was President, with Blackadder and Bernard Black running for presidency.
- WWE 2K15 (Xbox One)
I have such respect for 2K Games, they've brought us a lot of great games, including Borderlands and XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within, WWE 2K15 is a wrestling game without the wrestling, instead it has a number of minigames that is the "wrestling". This problem is not on the Xbox 360 version however.
So, there you go, list your worst games below so I feel accomplished!
