Worst/Cringiest Games You've Played

I had a couple of Rugrats games that were pretty awful. Totally Angelica has some kind of story about winning a bunch of fashion shows in a mall so you can get to the upper floor and save your Barbie from... something. Basically, every level has a few mini-games that allow you to win clothes, shoes, makeup etc. There's also a fashion show on each level and you have to compete in the show a couple of times to get enough points to reach the next. Each level is exactly the same formula, with just a few changes in mini-games. After five levels of this you reach the top floor, which is the magical fantasy fairly tale something. I think you were supposed to collect pieces of a ladder to climb up a tower, but at that point I was so sick of playing it I just gave up. Also at that point the game shifted from "annoying and repetitive" to "annoying and difficult".
The Time Travelers game looks pretty good visually but is annoyingly difficult due to clunky controls. The four year old playing isn't going to want to attempt pinpoint jumps over and over again.
But what do you expect? They're Rugrats games!

 

I found Two Worlds to be a very mediocre game, and Two Worlds II to be a decent improvement.

 

I'd hate to see what you consider a bad game lol. Like I said I enjoyed it despite (or because) of how terrible it was. Two worlds II was p good. I need to replay it eventually and go the magic route. I hear that's the best way.

 

Ride to Hell: Retribution is probably the best example of the worst and cringiest game that I've ever played.

 

Never played it but I'd like too. It looks terrible, and for some reason I enjoy exposing myself to terrible media. Is media masochism a thing?

 

This was pretty bad. You can really only play it with someone else so you can make fun of it.



And I'll probably get some hate for this but this game is also one to play with a friend and talk shit about it the whole time. Every character is so fucking unlikeable and cringey (except Samuel).

 

ninja gaiden 2

 

nuff said

 

I think Trixie should be included lol

 

This was my first thought. Every time I tried getting into it the awful writing would ruin it. The characters are all pretty annoying too, yeah.

Some other awful games I have played that aren't already super infamous or mentioned were Spyro Orange and Catz on GBA. There's also this DBZ GBA game that's pretty awful where Goku can get killed by snakes and squirrels.

 

Easy mode would be to go through a list of ZZT worlds/MegaZeux worlds/OHRRPGCE .rpg files and pick out a few stinkers, but the expectation from freeware amateur game creation software is that most of it is going to wind up being trashy stuff made by kids tinkering with the thing and seeing what they can do.

So I'm going to say this:
Final Fantasy 8 is the worst professionally-made JRPG I've ever played and also I didn't like it. It has its good qualities, those are just all aimed at people who aren't me so I don't hold a grudge against it. It's just that absolutely everything about it either frustrates or overwhelms me.

Licensed videogames based on cartoon characters can sometimes be really good and sometimes they're way worse than other generic shovelware videogames. Pink Panther on GBA was trash, but always keep in mind that the SongeBob SquarePants 3D platformers in the Xbox/GameCube/PS2 era were very good and so was DuckTales on NES; it's not the being licensed that makes them turn out bad necessarily so much as horrible and lazy game studios managing to nab licenses to shill their crappy product.

Star Wars Episode 1: Pod Racing. I'd rather watch the movie than play even one race in this game based on literally the worst and most boring scenes of said movie.

Dungeon Lords. It's a WRPG on PC masterminded by D.W.Bradley, the same guy who was in charge of the worst Wizardry games that killed the franchise and a significantly less terrible RPG called Wizards & Warriors (no relation to the second IronSword game). The game can best be described with the scenario you begin in. You are in a grassy valley surrounded by impassably high mountains. A friendly-looking house is full of goblins who wish to kill you. The only other sign of civilization is a walled city. The guard will not let you into the city, so you must swim your way through the sewers to get in.
The game had a bug where one dungeon has a two-way exit but the entrance only works one time ever. If you leave mid-way through clearing it to sell junk, you are screwed as this dungeon contains a critical quest item. The game's "patched" version does not fix this issue. The game has railroading to here and back again, the only way to get even a little fun out of it was to sequence break by glitching yourself on top of the mountains to sequence break and re-enter areas you were supposed to get locked out of because plot. The only zone in the game that isn't loaded with random encounters is the monster town for whatever reason, probably just them forgetting to set a random encounter table there since all the other towns are swarming with monsters out to kill you.

 

Call of duty:Ghosts.

Let me preface this by saying that I like the idea of fucking using dogs to help act as a spotter and shit. COD is also a guilty pleasure that I am a fan of

The game is broken. Graphically it's trash, thematicly it's droll. Balance wise it's crap with piss poor netcoding. Youll often yell at the screen as you swear you shot the guy approaching first and it not counting. The guns are bland and feel boring to use and are balanced terribly. This one SMG that can turn into an AR utterly wrecks what little balance there is.

Go play any of the other games instead. Except AW, nobody plays that either

The fuck is wrong with you?

 

hey, that game was a classic. it controls awesomely and had some of the most memorable track design in the history of racing video games. its biggest flaw was being reated to star wars episode 1. and the lag.

 

And the controls. And the levels. And the shopping for upgrades.

 

Dear Esther is pretentious fucking garbage and I hate it.

 

Speaking of shitty Wii games, ever played Anubis II?

 

Jurassic Park: The Game

It’s all ATE’s, which is is lame anyway, but the way they require you to hold X while simultaneously spinning both sticks in opposite directions and pressing directionals on the D-Pad are a one-way trip to carpal tunnel.


Side Note:

When fucking WEENY TRAN is asking what the fuck is wrong with you, that’s saying something.

 

Since I go out of my way to play bad games, this is a little hard, but if I had to choose, I would probably say this weird Minecraft clone called Voxelized.
As for the cringiest, even though I dearly love the games, I would have to say the Mother/Earthbound series once I saw the fandom.

 

It's actually a PSA explaing about the mess of Hipsterville West Coast.

 

The video game adaptation of the 2007 Transformers movie. All the weapons were useless, because every enemy that wasn't a forklift had a shield that was impenetrable unless you used physical attacks, and if you were playing the Autobot campaign, the game punishes you score-wise for something as simple as destroying a piece of the environment. Also, the driving physics was wonky AF and the camera was cancer.

But that's NOTHING compared to Sonic 06. I don't need to go into detail about why that was the worst game I ever played. Look that stuff up yourself.
