Top Ten Worst CRPGs

"What are the ten worst CRPGs? This is a question that takes a lot of thought, because terrible games typically do not sell well and are quickly forgotten. What I think most of us have in mind with questions like this are high profile disasters--games that received a huge amount of hype, had no excuses to be bad, and turned out to be so spectacularly awful that it was more fun reading and writing the scathing reviews than the game would have been in the first place.

We're not talking about low budget, small-team productions that you wouldn't expect much from anyway. These are the big budget games that stank so badly you not only flushed them three times but actually went to the store for a giant can of industrial-strength Lysol. With that as my build up, let's crank up our Roto-Rooters and dredge these crusty wads back up to the surface."

I always say it's all about expectations. If you raise them too high, no game will live up to it.

Neckbear5390d ago (Edited 5390d ago )

Allow me to completly disagree with Alpha Protocol; while it had a buncha bugs and horrible balance, it was just pretty damn fun. Hell, it actually did the whole dialogue wheel thing right, the choices had actual consequences (a lot of 'em, in fact!) and its storyline was pretty well-written (But hey, what'd you expect outta Chris Avellone?).

Surely the gameplay had more than a few flaws, but overall, it was an enjoyable ride.

i have never played alpha protocol but a few friends said the same thing. it had issues but was a bloody good game.......they are looking forward to another 1 aswell.

Miths5390d ago

I've actually just restarted Alpha Protocol last night (PC version). I only got a handful of hours into it when I originally bought it, but despite bugs and a few questionable design choices here and there, I certainly don't remember my limited time in the game being because I didn't like it - just other things getting in the way at the time.

One of the few 7th gen game that I'll full heartedly support for a remake.
Its a very unique RPG and deserves its faults fixed the 2nd time.

TheNamelessOne685d ago

I would be so for this. Alpha Protocol is the definition of a diamond in the rough. Before being acquired by Microsoft, Obsidian presented their ideas for a sequel, multiple times, but were always shot down. Even something simple like a remaster is very unlikely.

ZeekQuattro684d ago

Still have a physical copy for my PS3. Clunky at times but I had a lot of fun with it back in the day.

TheColbertinator684d ago

Had some issues but that game was brilliant.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC811d ago (Edited 811d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga811d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics811d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend810d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long811d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons811d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor811d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52810d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602810d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor811d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B810d ago (Edited 810d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
