The worst pc games you've ever played?

ThermalReaper · 2012-08-21, 11:12 PM

I'm bored, I'm not in beta yet, Smite has become stale. We have a best pc games list, let's go for the worst. But not in gameplay, but in functionality.

I'll begin to explain what I said:

Mass effect 2-3:
This is an utter joke of a pc game in my opinion thanks to one huge flaw. The "Space does everything controls". I understand, in a good game like Tribes, having the jump and jetpack bound to the same button. But why in the hell do we need Pick up weapons, sprint, use cover, mantle/vault/, talk, use, skip cutscene/dialog and choose dialog option bound to the same button? All of my deaths in those games were thanks to the stupid controls.

Splinter Cell: Conviction:
As anyone knows, most recent ubisoft games suck on the PC. But this one I hated the most. As with mass effect, space does most of the things. C does the rest. Again, most of my deaths are thanks to trying to silently kill someone, and instead kicking down a door and destroying any stealth I had. But that's not it, no crappy port is complete without a lack of graphics, mouse sensetivity adjustment and no control of mouse smoothing and aim assist. Wonderful.

Global Agenda:
Despite being one of my favorite games of all time, the user interface is the absolute worse I've ever seen, probably on par with Skyrims. Bad colour choices, hard to click on things, it bugs out a lot and it's extremely hard to find what you what in your inventory.

What about yours?

Mass effect is a console port, space is the remapped x button, that's why.

I guess splinter cell is a port too.

Global agenda is just shit

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for PC. Horrible console to PC port.

I think the two biggest stand out games I've played that fit Worst pc games ever has to be Risen & the ultimate pile of poo Nueral Hunter, I could describe the levels of garbage that these game are but honestly I don't think we have all night, sufficed to say never, ever AND I MEAN EVER buy or play

The Mass Effect series was amazing and the ending was fine... it's all damn bandwagon hate. "Hey, that ending was pretty goo... oh, what? You guys didn't like it? YEAH ME NEITHER! IT SUCKZ!" I've never seen so much bitching over a ending in a VIDEO GAME. But the fact that you call it an utter joke of a game because of the space bar is laughable.

But yes, Ubisoft fucked up Splinter Cell and Global Agenda is a pretty bad game imo.

But the ending was shit!
I remmember finishing the third game...and I was speechless,
not because it was good but because it was confusing and stood against the game's logic.
Bioware just need to admit they phucked it up.

I don't give a crap about the ending. The controls just broke it for me. I had to fidget around half of combat time trying to get the cover system to work correctly without vaulting over what I'm trying to take cover behind, I was being slowed down most of the time because I was sprinting and then I entered a dialog with an NPC thanks to the limited sprinting time.

RIFT was fairly terrible. Albeit I only played in the beta for a very short while.

Mount and Blade: With Fire and Sword was also a step down from the usual awesome of the M&B games. Luckily Mount and Musket/Napoleonic Wars fixed that issue.

Not butthurt - more like disappointed in SOE. Ah well, bring on the next game!
