What is the absolute worst game that you've everloved
>>3192725
Wow, that's a surprisingly hard question, I'm at a loss.
Maybe the old MMO Tibia.
JRPG fag here
>>3192737
Ah shit I forgot about Beyond the Beyond. I fucking loved this game when I was younger, though I always got stuck at the stupid sliding tile puzzle. I actually just replayed this game awhile ago and beat it.
Admit it, this game had so many goddamned problems.
I love it anyway.
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest. Got it when I was 6 years old, fell in love with music and dungeon exploring. A 12 hour RPG seems much longer as a small kid.
>>3192731
the only "worst" part about it was the penalties for dying and not having a real tutorial. you had to use yodaya from calmera's personal website to learn fucking anything at all back in the day. it was a bitch, no man's land free for all even on non-pvp worlds.
>>3192741
Yeah me too. I don't know what it is about teeth-grindingly challenging turn-based RPGs that does it for me. Maybe I just enjoy tedium

>>3192779
Dunno about 2 but I played the crap out of 1. I remember it fondly. Don't know if I want to taint it by going back to it.
>>3192782
It's still a great adventure but the grind at the gym and the ridiculous digivolution standards really bring the experience down. It's nothing but fun after the initial slog though.
ultraman for the super famicom. the gameplay is terrible, but it follows the series and the soundtrack is nice. and at the time it had 3 or 4 layers of paralax scrolling and it blew my mind.
>>3192725
first game I even played and my first love
Double Switch. It's an FMV and a Night Trap rip off, but the cast is interesting and the story isn't bad.
If by worst you mean subjective bad, Sonic Adventure 1/2.
If by worst you mean objectively bad (as in actually bad) maybe something more obscure like Monster Party.
Rising zan. Its wacky but feels wonky.
>>3192725
I love this game, still have yet to beat it
>>3192725
Super Hydlide
I loved Nightshade, I hear most people seemed to hate it / think it was too hard.
Given my circle of friends at the time, the fact that I loved Startropics was surprisingly polarizing and I figured everyone hated it until the internet showed me it was well loved after all.
>>3192725
I suppose atlantis no nazo, fucking garbage but I like it quite a bit.
Also I suppose jrpgs, they have admitably shallow gameplay but there are a few I like a lot.Despite that Earthbound is probably my favorite game ever made.
I have a love for old bad racing games, like f1 challenge for Saturn.
I also really liked decathlete
>>3192725
People only hate Altered Beast because they think it's too hard and they're too retarded to look up the respawn code.
>>3193079
Nah, I dislike Altered Beast because it's repetitive and Splatterhouse was a better single lane belt beat'em game in every way.
not retro but Sonic 06
>>3192753
I love that game so goddamn much, and honestly, I think that if Squeenix wants to stick with the Action RPG thing, they should have a go at remaking this one and actually writing it well. It would also probably help make the nostalgiafags who whine about the lack of medieval elements in the series not be quite so salty.
Another one I loved was pic related. If I was working on a remake of it, I'd even see if I could convince Paul Sebastien and Daniel Lenz (those two pretty much WERE Psykosonik, the others who were there for the first album were pretty much just assistants for what they couldn't originally do live, although one of them did write a song or two) to compose the soundtrack. Paul would probably be the harder one to convince, considering that he's got a very, very successful business life that involves people hiring him to be their boss. Daniel Lenz does music still, I think.
>>3192807
OMFG! I had a demo disc that came with the very first PC we ever had. Double Switch convinced me we would be immersed with live action video games. I've been disappointed ever since. Windows 95 was an interesting time....
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSlakSDT3lo
these are absolute garbage, its like the junk food of videogames and i love them
>>3192731
fucking LOVED that game
>>3192753
I think everyone that likes that game even a little knows it's not a good game. I'm in the same boat, i only really like it for nostalgia and music
This game right here. Loved and hated it all at the same time. So many times I'd end up losing my runes to some jack off guy I would try and recruit, who was super powered due to a glitch(?) of them gaining either more levels or stats in the US version compared to your character. Was pretty much a game over time to start a new game whenever it happened. I know my dad and brother beat it on separate files, but I honestly can't remember if I've ever beaten it myself w/o playing one of their saves
>>3193203
As much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree. As an RPG they're incredibly shallow and the games are pretty much made to sell merchandise, at least after Red and Blue. But damn they're so fun and replayable.
>>3193307
Well, this, although I'd say G/S/C were very solid sequels. By the time the GBA came, I was done with the franchise.
>>3192807
>Finally found someone else who likes Double Switch besides me.
If you also like Ground Zero Texas and are female we might be soul mates.
Black box Baseball. So many better baseball games on the NES, but that's the first one I played.
>>3193203
I still play them. The games have their highs and lows for sure, but i'm in too deep. Fallen in love with a ton of the designs.
I don't think it's bad at all, but ever since AVGN did a video on it, a lot of people act like it is. I love it, even though it does have some problems.
>>3193434
I had that game as a kid and will forever appreciate it. I think its a good game, was certainly an interesting game at the time. In retrospect this was more fun to play than those monotonous beat em ups like Turtles In Time
Greendog. Universally hated, but I loved its setting and charms. And skateboards.
![88280-Dirty_Pair_-_Project_Eden_(Japan)_[b]-1.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Df7esPb.jpg "88280-Dirty_Pair_-_Project_Eden_(Japan)_[b]-1.jpg")
>>3192725
I haven't been able to get past level 2
>>3193103
That game's good. It only gets labeled as bad because Game Grumps sucked at it. Which is fine by me, because that means the price didn't go up when I was hunting for a copy.
>>3193434
A friend had it on Spectrum back in the day, I don't know if it was the exact same game as in the NES or what, but I distinctly recall him raging HARD at the water levels, we're talking red-faced/almost crying hard here.When AVGN video first came out it made me laugh so fucking much because of this reason.
I had it on Amstrad myself, and even though I didn't play it that much the bit I did didn't particularly strike me as bad, but I had little to no standars back then.
I was upset to discover everyone hates this
>>3193740
Maybe they hate it now, but back then i only had super star wars and my friend made fun of me for not having th dope n64 sw games
gameplay was terrible, i didnt know what to do...
>>3193740
I love this game, it has an awesome atmosphere
Frisbeed this disc out a window in rage, but I still love it.
>>3193882
It's a great game desu senpai. The sequel was good, but it was definitely missing something.
>>3192725
Your not alone op. I love me some Altered Beast!
this awful game, misses the mark on everything
I don't know why I invested so much time trying to beat this shit instead of playing with actual Lego's.
>>3193141
This might be mine too.
It's not even kid's nostalgia as I had about 18 when I first played, and I have played Gran Turismo and some NFS games before. I still love THB until today, and even almost all its sucessors are way better I still love the simplicity (and even the glitches) of the original. The OST, as most of japanese racing games, is pretty good also
>>3192753
desu I actually enjoy it
it takes all of the 'gameplay' (grinding) out of JRPGs, which is actually nice.
>>3194037
I don't recall that game being very difficult.
>>3193103
>Another one I loved was pic related.

X-Kaliber 2097 was much better when it was titled Sword Maniac and didn't have the shitty Psykosonik soundtrack. Fite me.
>>3194293
The American soundtrack is way better.
Space Station in the Amiga. Loved it for beeing crap.
I really enjoyed Shaq Fu.
I know people generally don't like it, but I have a lot of fun whenever I play 3D Blast.
>>3194340
I don't know why so many people consider this to be a bad game.
>>3193882
What are you on the game is amazing.
Rhapsody, I think, fits. Absolutely love that game, even though its shortcomings are glaringly obvious
>>3193740
Man this game is weird to play now. The two(?) levels where you fly a ship have actually aged remarkably well and still feel nice and smooth to play.
Pretty much everything else about the game aged like milk, to the point where not even my nostalgia can make it seem enjoyable.the dianoga boss is still nightmare inducing though
>>3194263
I can admit I was garbage at it. I also don't remember it being that great.
>>3192731
I was going to post this.
Game is a complete piece of shit that promotes and supports cheating and fucks up stuff in every update but I still play it every once in a while.
Oramond is comfy.
>>3192725
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie.
Collectathons have not aged very well and only their charm holds up today.
>>3194463
I liked the SNES version more.
>>3193740
>I was upset to discover everyone hates this
I wonder why is that. Back in the day people universally loved it, we had so much discussion with the PC version at school.
The FPS sections probably aged like shit due to the bad controls and fog, but other than that what exactly is wrong with the game?
>>3194463
Sega Lolly was better.
>>3194347
Probably this.
>>3194347
only sonic game I ever 100% aside from Adventure 2
>>3192725
RISE FROM YOUR Gayness
Seriously I cant think of another game that was more homoerotic than Altered Beast
>>3194472
lies. I first played banjo kazooie a few months ago and I *loved* it. Y
>>3194906
>Seriously I cant think of another game that was more homoerotic than Altered Beast
Altered Beast is bodybuilding, not homoerotic.
Cho Aniki is homoerotic.
>>3193714
I forget, didn't they have it on Easiest when they got to Tattoo, or were they just playing it on Normal? Either way, there's no denying how big of donkey balls they were sucking at that game.
Another upside to a remake is that the bosses and such could be rewritten and given a bit more than a few sardonic lines before and after their fights.
>>3194293
Fite, you say?
Challenge of the Dragon for the NES. Super rare game but my friend has had a copy since he was a kid and we would always play it and get so mad. Recently I started speed running it and taking notes and it only takes me 15 minutes to beat and I'm so used to the slippery controls and the enemy movements. Play a game long enough and it becomes fun.
>>3192725
What was Sega's goal in creating Altered Beast anyway? It doesn't really impress that much but it gets put into numerous compilations and even got a 3D version.
Was it to give the Genesis a graphically impressive launch title? It seems strange that Sega would put that much focus on a home console.
Never really understood the hate for this game.
>>3193619
The game is great until the stupid subway part
>>3195062
It keeps getting onto comps because it's an extremely popular game and Sega wants money
>>3195062
It was an impressive arcade title for its time. Colourful with big sprites, and not many beat'em ups existed then.
It was also used to showcase the Megadrives power. Back in the 1988 launch party, they put the Megadrive version of the game next to the arcade cab so people can see how little differences there were between the two.
I don't know why it gets ported constantly. Probably because it is a small and simple game, so it is easy to re-re-re-re-re-release and make money off of with 0 effort, same reason why they ported Sonic into every goddamn platform in existence.
The gaem we call life...
>>3195110
The levels have areas you end up retreading. It doesn't have a map. The jumping is twice as difficult as a regular sonic game. The overall scenery and sprites aren't as great as a regular sonic game. The game doesn't explain the concept of collecting birds straight off. Good music mostly.
>>3195062
Altered beast had impressive graphics / sound. It sold me on the console before sonic existed. One of the first fun two player games, kinda like Double Dragon with transforming characters.
I really love Alien 3 game on Sega Genesis. I couldn't find image maps of it online, so I drew my own and made a notebook. I still haven't beat the game because the gorrilla alien / boss alien things beat me too much. Great music and it really stretches your memory and reflexes.
>>3194463
>>3194478
There was a PSX port, too. I've never tried it, though.
>>3195220
More importantly there's basically no rolling physics. Which is to say they're there, but they have little real purpose, so the game just doesn't work like a sonic game should.
Ironically it predicted the future of 3D sonic pretty well in that regard.
>>3196678
Rolling all the time is the most fun I have with that game, maybe I'm weird.l
>>3194059
Jesus, Jalico made a game on the ps1? I can't even fathom the shittiness lol.
>>3196670
Noice
>>3192725
Formation Z is fucking shit but I love it.
I don't play badly-reviewed games. I always end up agreeing with the critics.
Maybe pic related.
>>3194985
It isn't "erotic", so, no, it isn't either. Its supposed to be funny.
>>3193740
This is honestly a great game, it just hasn't aged well. The third-person segments were fun until you got to some of the platforming heavy sections, like that canyon stage, or the junk yard train, and some of the bosses were cheap like IG-88, but as a kid I loved this game. It's still fun now, but it has some dated mechanics that I can understand why people wouldn't like it.
Bought this for ~5 bucks in a clearance sale of a video rental store.
It's not a good game and I knew it pretty well even when I bought it, but it still somehow captivated me with the different time periods, weapons and atmosphere, so I consider the $5 well spent.
>>3193931
This game. Is not that bad though.
Story is good, music is pretty great, and background designs are beautiful as fuck.
The bad controls are the only downside.
>>3199889
>game advertised with cool futuristic guns
>most of the time you're doing taekwaondo
Remember this, all graphics, shit gameplay.
>>3200149
More like shit graphics all gameplay. I don't think anyone thought the graphics were good on release. If was just a really good game.
>dropped into the game with no idea where you are or what's going on
>game is ugly as shit, has almost no music, and the save file takes up an entire VMU
>draw pictures to level up, this makes absolutely no sense but after a while you find a picture that gets you high stat increases so you just stick with that for the rest of the game
>all you do is grind for points to dump into the leveling system
>grinding is walking in circles until something appears and then using your one attack on it until it dies
>do this for five hours and then kill everything in 1 hit and walk right up to the final boss
>final boss can kill you in 2 hits even with 999 (maxed out) all stats
>defeat final boss, suddenly cutscenes and dialogue in a game that had absolutely no story until this point
>fifteen minutes of the most inane bullshit JRPG plot dumped on you and then the game ends
love it though
>>3192725
Wow, that's a hard question, I don't know if it's answerable.
The worst game I've bought was probably Corridor 7, which I got partly because it came with a gamepad, which happened to be acceptable, but the pair was not particularly cheap, so it was indeed bad.
I also had a boxed copy of Terminator Rampage, I guess that was pretty bad, especially for a game that I've played through mostly. Weird story with that, I played through all the 30 levels that were listed in the manual, but then by the time I got to level 32, I got it into my head that it would just go on forever and stopped ... when that was the final level.
Redneck rampage crap game but loved it for some damn reason. perhaps it reminded me of duke nukem. I was a huge fan of the original.
>>3200432
Oh, wait, worst game I've loved! That's way simpler: strip fighter.
Crude, but really cute. Except the end battle pictures, I hated those because they didn't look like the characters.
>>3193740
PC version just got released on GOG. I had tried getting the PC version running a couple years ago but it uses a 16 bit exe for an installer and those dont work on regular winblows 7
![hqdefault[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/ZUoolVG.jpg "hqdefault[1].jpg")
I still haven't beaten it.
>>3200432
>Terminator Rampage
What was wrong with the game? Looks like an interesting Doom clone.
>>3200149
Nah, you find a lot of weapons and the only time you really need hand-to-hand combat is at the very first enemy in level 1.
>>3200492
It was repetitive. Even including the music.
(it sharply switched to this exaggeratedly dramatic tune even for common enemies)
This one.
I used to play a lot of Rampage World Tour for GBC even though you can really barely tell what's going on.
>>3200543
Aaaaaauoccckkhh!
>>3195110
everything about the mechanics a character like sonic introduces worked against the whole top-down, exploration thing, it would've been a lot better if it starred knuckles or maybe even a slower, non-Sonic character entirely imo
It's gotta be this shit. I even think some of the songs sound better than their 16-bit versions (Aircon Man's stage theme, Clock Men's stage theme, the fortress theme, Rockman Shadow battle, so on).
>>3203175
That game was good, though. Much better than 5-10. Couldn't handle the difficulty or something?
>>3203180
Oh wait, thought you posted the SNES game. Disregard
Betrayal in Antara (I can't even beat it it glitches so badly), Bubsy, FFMQ, Spiderman 2 for gameboy, Mario is Missing are some of the utterly awful games I can think of that I can still go back and have fun playing for some godforsaken nostalgia-goggles reason.
I had more but I can't think of them. I had shit taste as a child.
>>3194356
I played this on the DS.
I quit it ages ago and I can't remember anything about it except for the colourful and happy graphics/music so I don't know if I should pick it up again.
![3181_front[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/CMHQoQd.jpg "3181_front[1].jpg")
>>3200328
Looking up just the first 10 minutes of the game...what the fuck?
I love the music and presentation of that screen with the DNA spinning around. Feels very cyber-zen, similar to Eastern Mind/LSD.
Pic related in response to the thread tho. Slow, clunky and unresponsive but you could do 20 metre high backflips and I frothed off that.

Don't look at me. I like racing gamesand Nascar
Don't get the hate for it, this game is legitimately decent.
I know I played the hell out of Shadows of the Empire, but I haven't been able to figure out how.
>>3200512
Damn that had potential to be decent too
Goddamn I loved this game, but the execution was so lackluster.
>>3193740
I remember local game magazine Power Unlimited giving it two scores instead of one at the time, a 9.2 for the flying sections and a 5.9 for the rest. Seems rather accurate in depicting the overall opinion on this.
![36475-40_Winks_[U]-1.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Q6sMO5j.jpg "36475-40_Winks_[U]-1.jpg")
Pic related and Rampage. It's mostly nostalgia from the games' art styles: In an era before Pixar, 3D artists looked to claymation as a guide for cartoony 3D.
>>3194037
i had the PC version as a kid
the disc must have been fucked up because i only have a few memories of actually playing the game
>>3200565
think i had this one. was always fun
>>3192725
This one OP.
I played this game over and over when i was younger.
Only found out it was trash when i got twenty year's older.
>>3196682
I like it, but for the exploration. I think open roaming is sorely lacking on Sonic games,n wish they had taken from Sonic 3 more instead of going for the linear speedfests.
Second Life.

Aww man, demo discs were like christmas come early when I was a kid. Just the other day I was pondering what was the name of that 3D space station demo disc and there it is. Thanks, that brought back a lot of memories!
