The worst pc games you've ever played? - Page 2

I don't play bad PC games, only good ones. Though I have done some unfortunate stumbling.

Firstly: Carnivores Cityscape. I like Carnivores 1-3, because Dino Hunting was a neat novelty really. Cityscape wasn't hunting though, it was a budget FPS game, that really sucked. I could see it going for an AvP grab, but it was bad.

Star Wars Droidworks: I mean, it can be fun, a little cool. But it's also really frustrating, and trying to play it on a modern PC is a joke. Completely broken, even with Compatibility Packs (For e anyways, maybe it was my computer though for that), but without a compatibility pack then the game was just broken control wise. Everything else was fine, but controls were fucked up. Playing it on a Windows 98, well, I realized I wasn't missing much.

Doom Shovelware. Hahaaahaaaahoohohohoooo haa haaa OH HAAAA HAHAHAHAAAAAA OH DEAR JESUS HAAAAAHAAAAA OH GOD HAHAAAHAAA LOLXDDDDDDDD LOLOLOLOLO HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Fuck you Hell to Pay and D!ZONE.

Mine sweeper is probably the worst one. I hate that game. Oh or maybe that chess game I played one time that cheated. It did. I was like, "oh no you didn't" and it was all, "oh yes I did". That's what ya get for open source programs. I bet someone, somewhere thought that was really funny.

Universal Combat. The tutorial assumed you know the dictionary sized control scheme for ALL sides of combat. How to Play? Don't install.

Diablo 3 was probably my biggest letdown of a game

Most of the games listed here aren't bad. Diablo 3 and the Mass Effect series were both good solid games that people like to obsess over thanks to their own expectations not being met. All games have problems if you nit pick enough but actual bad games don't need to be nit picked to find the problems.

My friend has a rule for determining if a game is good or not. If the time he spends in the game is greater than the amount of time he would have gotten for spending the same amount of money going to the movies, it's a good game.

Have to agree E-TW was a terrible game, the whole combat design of the musket fights is just aweful.

I have over 400 men lines up with muskets and here comes the enemy into rifle range......... pop ...... pop..... pop, Why did only 3 of my men fire?!? why are all the rest now waiting for those three to reload before they shoot, Oh look the enemy are in range and they've wiped out my side with a volley.
Okay you lot fire at will...... no idiots fire at will means shoot when the enemy gets in range not break out the tea kettle and have a cuppa in the middle of a warzone.
I give up, milk and one sugar

The TW peeps don't know how to make a game with guns, their mechanics (to sound redundant) are TERRIBLE!

What's worse is they put the gun mechanics back in for Shogun2 and ruined that too, directional shooting with arrows are you fucking kidding me.

I'm hoping against hope that they use the shooting system from R-TW or M-TW2 for the next installment of Rome or I'll be a sad bunny.
