The worst pc games you've ever played?

[UzumakiW]

Diablo 3 was probably the most disappointing in a long time. Played D2 for years. Could barely play D3 for more than a few months off and on. Poor excuse for a game that took so long to come out, especially compared to the second.

Especially considering that there were lots of mechanics in the developer preview in France from 2008 that were actually cut from the final game to make it 'easier'.

If you haven't given Torchlight II a try yet I would have to suggest it, I'm finding it to be everything D3 wishes it was.

The entire CoD series or just one of the games? What are we looking at here. I still think the original is an amazing fps.

Timeshift
RE4 for PC [No mouse? It's a COMPUTER game.]
Turning Point, Fall of Liberty
Combat
Heroes of Might and Magic 4
Ultimate Ride
Harry Potter [anything after Prisoner of Azkaben] [I was raised on the first 3]
Mall Tycoon
Medieval Total War
Anything after C.o.D 4 MW 1 with the exception of Zombie killing.

Not really in any order.

Picked it up a few days ago, and have played it quite extensively, and you're right. Game is everything D3 should have been and more. Been having a lot of fun with it.

Battlefield Play4Free gets my vote. Players were totally screwed over by EAsy late last year.

Want to pwn noobs - buy a Grenade/RPG booster! Or perhaps rent an attachment for your gun so that it will actually shoot straight. So blatantly pay2win.

Worst gaming experience ever; shame, because before EAsy really started ripping players off it was actually a half decent game which would run OK on low spec PCs.

Left a bad taste in the mouth; never again.

Had to bump this thread when I saw this. I know there are a few dogs back there in the recesses of my memory that were games I hated, but for the most part I found them playable. More recent games that were a let down, maybe SWTOR... I had such high expectations and well... such a let down and the "free" to play model is horrendous.

Darkfall:Unholy Wars has given me a new appreciation for PS2. I don't know how a company can announce a graphics update to their game and then quite literally break everything about the original. Really Darkfall 2 was actually SUPPOSED to be a re-skinning of the original... you know the thing everyone loves to say that is what they want from a sequel? But instead they went on and quite literally everything they made changes too from the original, they made worse. I also call BS on their "debug" mode... whatever they did is simply a dog to run and they are using "debug" mode as an excuse. Can't believe I put money in that pile.

ANYWAY on to Universal Combat. Back when I bought this I know I looked at PS1 and said "no way i'm paying a subscription for a game". wasn't for a few years later that I played PS1... sad panda I skipped it. Universal Combat per the description (and honestly the potential to be) everything Planetside could hope to be if it were a single player game. But it was so grossly complicated that potential couldn't be reached. I think I still have the box... and the 500 page manual.

Where to start...

Due to unfortunate circumstances (friends, writing reviews for a mag) i had a more than fair share of abominable crap games to play during my life.
But none of it, really none of it, stood out like this horrible nightmare inducing freakshow excuse of horse manure. Behold the truely most atrocious experience i had to endure during my ~20 years of video game playing:

The "Cho Aniki" Series:

I played tbis version for the SNES:
(not my video)

If it wasn't obvious, it's from japan...

...and i got paid for playing that game.

EDIT: And yes i'm aware the thread title says "PC" games, but i am sure you can find a pc version. If you look for it...because i won't.

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising was BAD.
Operation Flashpoint: Red River was AWFUL.

Worst PC game that I have ever played... Well, thankfully I haven't played anything close to the worst out there... But, it would be a toss up between these two games.

Jurassic Park: Trespasser
Gothic 3 (Launch version)
