Akiba Blog discovers a pile O games that Sofmap in Akihabara is trying to get rid of. Among the mountain of poo includes... Metroid Wii - 180 copies at 1,980 yen each Naruto Dairansen NDS - 220 copies at 980 yen each DS Cooking - 300 copies at 580 yen each (lol) PS2 Seaman - 76 copies at 980 yen. Was Wii Metroid that bad? Trying to think of the worst game that I've played and can only remember a recent one - Onechanbara for the Wii. Loved the thought of a scantly clad cowgirl with a samurai sword slashing away at zombies - but this turned out to be 23 shades of poo. Whats the worst game ever that you have had the displeasure of playing?

My recent worst game must be Assassin's Creed. Looks good, but it just doesn't hold together. Btw, PS2 Seaman was crazy.
(ID #307227) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:02
Got the same feeling from trying Assassin's Creed.

Are you friggin' kiddin me?! What platform did you play on? I got 100% on my PS3 (borrowed the game from a friend) and I think its gameplay is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more solid that the last 2 or 3 Prince of Persia's! They say it can be a bit buggy, but I didn't encounter a single bug during my playthrough.

Have to agree, AC was a very good game.

only thing i can that i actually HATED was Rise of Nations...frustrated the hell out of me that i ALMOST wanted to chuck my monitor out the window... but the worst game i've played was Kane and Lynch for 360....i had so much hope for the game...somewhat interesting storyline and great character design...but when i rented to see how it was before i actually wanted a copy of it, the gameplay just went out the window...stupid AI, almost non-responsive control, crappy environment, crappy in-game dialogue... i hate it when all the hype goes to hell...
(ID #307234) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:11
Was RoN that bad? The only thing I hated bout it was the campaign where you have to gather resources and start from scratch everytime after building massive stuff from the previous mission.
(ID #307242) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:15
Well I thought that Metroid corruption was awesome but then again it did not bring as large a wohoo effect as the Metroid prime did because almost everything in metroid prime was a new idea. The price surprised me though; it’s about 1/6 of what I gave for it when it got out. I don’t have one game on the list of the worst I ever tried; most of the Disney games made over movies are really really bad.
(ID #307235) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:12
Can't think of many crap games. But recently played "Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front" and it's almost crap. Too strategy bound, slow reactions and the gundams...their too strong.
(ID #307243) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:16
i disagree, i found that having to use tactics and having limited units to carry out missions was nostalgic to a point of 8th ms team. also your suits werent invincible, so you had to carfully conduct the missions in order to survive and complete all the objectives.

That anyone would consider Metroid Prime 3 "crap" is a travesty again gaming. Prime 3 is the best single player game of this generation so far. The controls are incredible, the art direction is incredible, the level design is incredible. That it would be regulated to the bargain bin in Japan is just sad. I'll never understand Japan's indifference to the Metroid franchise. They have no clue what they're missing.
(ID #307261) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:31
Or maybe they were expecting the Japan audience would be so crazy for the game that they ordered a boatload of copies. I guess the game didn't sell enough for all the copies to go,so now the store is selling their leftovers for cheap. Also,some of the gamers likely didn't have the money for the game at full price not that it was crap. Don't Wii games and games in general cost more than in the US? Like $60 Wii games instead of $40 or $50 in the US?
(ID #307312) Posted on 2008/09/20 03:27
I know, but the title of the article was "Crap games". And then seeing Prime 3 sitting at the top of the article was just...not right.
(ID #307593) Posted on 2008/09/20 10:45
As far as the worst games I've played? Practically all of THQ's line up from the SNES days was complete garbage. I also remember Secret of Evermore being pretty terrible.
(ID #307267) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:36
When I was very young, I completely disliked Tron: Maze-a-tron for the Intellivision. I don't know remember why exactly, but that game was horrible. In slightly more recent times, Robotech: Battlecry was disappointing.
(ID #307275) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:44
Worst game ever... so many, but I guess the 1st place goes to Dark Castle for Sega Genesis and close behind is Silver Surfer for NES. And Oneechanbara is BAD, I tried the PS2 version and it was horrible, bad controllers, horrible music, no difficult.
(ID #307281) Posted on 2008/09/20 02:53
Metroid Prime 3 Corruption... NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams... These are GOOD games! Seriously! wtf... meh, if they help sell then all for the better!!!!

fps are just weak and if you have played one you have played them all. they just throw in a new gun or two and change the game physics and send out another piece of crap. games are about substance and there is none to be found in fps

I chose the games I pay for very carefully to avoid ending up with "crap." If I have to name the worst game I own it would have to be Final Fantasy X. Many people seem to enjoy ff10, though, so... I don't know >_>

It was probably the Sphere Grid that you hated. Everything else was enjoyable.

As far as I know.. it's not that those games are crap... they are in the bargain bin because the store has a huge stock that isn't selling for the past x weeks. I mean, even Metal Gear Solid 4 were in those bins sometime ago. Store bought too many copies and it didn't sell as well as they initially though it would. Anyways, I usually don't HATE games... I just stop playing before hating it. I do regret two games I bought: Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Hellgate London. They aren't completely bad, but they were a waste of money to me, since I was only interested in playing them for a short time before they got boring to me.

Metroid Wii was pretty good if you ask me. As for my worst game ever, it's hard to say since there aren't many games that I outright hate. I guess I would choose Suikoden 3 or Wild Arms 1, but even so, there's bound to be MUCH worse stuff out there.

I didn't realise Metroid for Wii was that bad either... thought I'm not even sure its out in the UK yet... A really bad game... I don't buy games that often, and only ever buy games I know I'll like(Harvest Moon, Sim games, Pokemon...) or games that get very very good reviews. But I buy more manga, dvd's and figures than games.
(ID #307400) Posted on 2008/09/20 06:21
For me, probably "The Bouncer" and "Ergheiz". Both from squaresoft on PS2. Yes, there was a time where squaresoft released something else that the usuals FinalFantasy but unfortunely, these two were crap
(ID #307401) Posted on 2008/09/20 06:22
I'm not sure but one big disapointment I got was Shinobi for the PS2, had nothing to do with the original and later Sega came up with Nightshade wich was a sort of spiritual sequel. It was somewhat better in gameplay and graphics but still probably 2 of the worst games I ever played.
(ID #307403) Posted on 2008/09/20 06:27
Sousei no Aquarion was horrible on the PS2. Painful to play considering that it could have been such a good game with some more work. I didn't even bother to play it more than an hour or so. Gunbuster was pretty bad as well..

Maybe I'm swiming against the stream on this one but I HATED (as in, KILL IT WITH FIRE FROM THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF HELL) Echochrome. It's a nice idea, the whole perspective thing, but the damn thing makes my eyes hurt (which is hard for a b&w game) and gives me huge headaches!

I'm a big rpg videogame player and one game that stands out in a negative way is Final Fantasy IX. The characters were not very likeable and I just hated just about everything in the game. From the world to the card game. It just didn't have the same mature style as VII and VIII, which I really enjoyed.
(ID #307445) Posted on 2008/09/20 07:17

The cream of the crap for me had to be Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout. The U.S. version. I swear... the dubbing was bad, the controls were bad, and the only thing salvageable was the animation (if I do recall). I swear... This made both Robotech and the Macross VR games tolerable. -_-;;

Metroid Prime 3 was not a bad game at all, quite the contrary. It's just that the Metroid -series isn't as popular in Japan as it is in the West (especially Prime, as it is almost a FPS) and the typical Wii owner isn't interested in these sort of serious/traditional games.
(ID #307578) Posted on 2008/09/20 10:21
Metroid Prime 3 is a truly awesome game, there's nothing bad about it at all. I'm pretty sure the reason why its in a bargain bin is because, from what I've heard, the Metroid series isn't very popular in Japan as well as the lack of popularity FPS games have in Japan as well. As for the worst game I've ever played. Well I can't really think of any off the top of my head but I'm sure I've played my share of horrible games.

Gaming market is currently very over saturated. Or maybe I just feel theres too many good game coming out too soon. You don't really get to "get into" a game before moving on the the next one. I have more that 10 game in cue and am rushing to complete them because I know I have more on the way.

I've played so many crap games in my lifetime. Sometimes, you just keep playing them for the sheer entertainment of how stupid and lame they are. That usually only lasts an hour at most. Some games that come to mind are "Street Fighter: The Movie" and "Jaws". There are others, but I don't feel like making a giant list.
