Games that you wish never existed Options

[Soho]

Rayburn's topic gave me idea for this. Which games do you played and in your opinion was fail?
My top 3 would be:

World of Warcraft
Iron Man
Real War(with Rogue States)

[MARS]

- Games like Postal; the mere existence of such games is giving the entire gamer community a bad name. If such worthless pieces of software exist, it doesn't come as a surprise that politicians and journalists scapegoat us for everything because such games keep giving them more ammunition for their hateful arguments than necessary. It seems as if some parts of the industry weren't even willing to help find a compromise.

- World of Warcraft; never actually played it but this game takes so much attention from the rest of the PC that it hampers the progress of the computer as a gaming platform. Why come up with new concepts when all you gotta do to cash in is to make an MMO that feasts on addicted people's lives like a fucking parasite. I'm not saying that all WoW players are like that but there sure IS a whole lot of them. I know what I'm talking about. There was this one guy in my senior class who failed every single one of the final exams because he found it more important to play WoW all day. Out of like 42 people, he ended up as the only one with no qualification and he's probably still playing the game as I'm writing this.

- Rainbow Six Lockdown and Empire Earth 3 for being the shittiest sequels I've ever played.

[CommanderJB]

Both Rogue Squadron and Battlefront games that did not make an appearance on the PC.

[Erik]

reminds me of the "worst game ever" topic over there at FS.
Got to be:
Captialism II: A waste of 4€ started to be boring after not more than half an hour due to uber reptitive gameplay.

[DELETED MEMBER]

Any MMORPG than is made as a sequel of a single player game story

i am lookint at you WOW, and you, you to Knights of the old republic

i dont hate mmorpgs(i do find WOW super generic as far as MMORPG goes and its only popular for 2 reasons: the Warcraft/Blizzard name and "my first MMO" syndrome) but i hate how you need to play them if you want to know "what happen next"

[Soho]

I totally forgot about this "legendary" RTS game.
SUNAGE
When I read about this game and saw several pics in magazine it looked like Starcraft so I decided to get it. I just removed it from my comp 20 min after I installed it.
Game is dead now.

[Overdose]

In no particular order:

Sonic the Hedgehog for PS3 and 360: Terrible, terrible game. The 3D Sonic games never were masterpieces but this one takes the cake as the worst Sonic game ever. Shadow the Hedgehog comes close.

World of Warcraft: I play this game and I absolutely hate it. That's how addicting it is I'm hoping Diablo 3 and Dragon Age release soon so I can stop playing World of Warcraft for good.

[Lucid]

The non-jp versions of Ace Combat 3. they dumbed down the JP version way too much

[Prophet of the P...]

NFS Carbon, Underground 2, Undercover.
Prostreet was shitty but it was a fun to play.

Command and Conquer Yuris Revenge

Empire Earth II. Good god what a dump that was on the original.

[beefJeRKy]

Stalin vs Martians

[Lucid]

NFS Carbon, Underground 2, Undercover.
Prostreet was shitty but it was a fun to play.

Command and Conquer Yuris Revenge

Empire Earth II. Good god what a dump that was on the original.

i've never played EE2 nor NFS undercover, so i cant say anything about them, but NFS underground 2 and Carbon are the best NFS games i've played.

as for YR, why? what made it so bad?

[Boidy]

The fact that it led to the next game on this list:

RA3 - for being absolutely ludicrous in every possible way in comparison with RA1.

-Rorschach

[Cobretti]

Red Alert 3 was actually pretty good (i.e. way better than C&C 3).

And yes, World of Warcraft, though tremendously successful, is a detriment as a whole as I don't like it and Blizzard continues to jack around with it instead of focusing on Diablo III and Starcraft I (i.e. games that I really want to play).

[Chyros]

-Skunny in the Wild West
One of the most terrible pieces of shit I have ever played. I hardly got further than five seconds into the game.

-Diggers 2
None of you will probably have ever played or even heard of the original Diggers, but it was really cool IMO. The sequel sucked piss out of something's arse.

-Moho
Oh lord this game was terrible. Unfortunately my best friend at the time loved it, though D: .

World of Warcraft: I play this game and I absolutely hate it. That's how addicting it is I'm hoping Diablo 3 and Dragon Age release soon so I can stop playing World of Warcraft for good.

That has to be the most original explanation of why someone hates WoW I've ever seen .

[JJ]

MapleStory

MMO that all my friends love/loved for some reason. It's worse than WOW. Far worse.

[beefJeRKy]

I'll add FlyFF and a bunch of other J-MMOs that a couple of friends are hooked to.

[blowthebullet]

The sims (where EA is milking it sooooo badly out, i don't know how many expansion packs there are made for 1 and 2 )

[RaiDK]

MechQuest.

Played it for all of a day before realizing just how stupid the system is, and how it's set up so you only get the most out of it by:
A ) Using RL money
B ) Spend huge amounts of hours trying to get lucky.

[Shock]

C&C 3 Kane's Wrath.

[Edsato82]

HAWX, only gives headaches

[Pickysaurus]

World of Warcraft destroyed an 8 month relationship for me (well, contributed) so it must die.

[Sensationalism]

Empire Earth III pretty much killed my one of my favourite rts series. >:(

[Admiral FCS]

EE2 and EE3.
AoE 3.
ACX.
C&C3 and KW.

Most of these games sucked hard: EE2's stupid territory control system and so few number of units, and the completely off-style EE3; AoE3 completely lost the AoE feeling for me; Ace Combat X could use a serious mission buff-up; most people know why I chose C&C3 and KW.

[MARS]

``AoE3 completely lost the AoE feeling for me´´

Indeed. Although it wasn't really horrible as a game, it sure was as an AoE title. The scenario was quite promising but what we ended up with really didn't
FEEL much like Age of Empires anymore. They should have kept it historical rather than making up that silly family story fantasy bollocks to begin with...

As for C&C3 and KW, I'm also inclined to agree. Even though I didn't find it so unredeemably awful that I wish it was never made, it was still quite disappointing, mainly because of the lack of unit diversity and the utterly forgettable story which didn't really make the best of the scenario and presented one of the most mundane alien invasions I've ever seen. Tripods with heat rays burning down cities is all fine with me but if the bigger part of the planet has already been a smoking, crystal-infested wasteland for four decades, it kinda loses some of the appeal.

Not to mention they seriously downplayed the problem with tiberium in C&C 3. It's like they went "okay, we got Kane and some green crystals and some similar blue crystals and generic looking aliens" and just stopped at that.
