On the third day, the question we have for you is "What was the worst game you've ever played and what made it the worst game for you?"
For me, I could be cheeky and say Loki, but the truth is that the game was so broken that I've never been able to play it for more than a minute. So, I'm going to be almost as cheeky and say Max Payne 3.
NOW, WAIT WAIT WAIT! It's not because it's a bad game. At least not what I've been able to play of it. Far from it. The reason it is the worst I've ever played is actually because it was enjoyable... but I've never been able to finish it because my save files seem cursed. I've owned this game on both PC and PS3. The furthest I've been able to get into the game before my save file got wiped (and repeatedly so) was the graveyard flashback mission. On PC, I've rarely been able to get past the Stadium mission. I've tried copying out save files, but it ends up the same.
So, I sat there, thoroughly involved in this game, hoping to get through the story in which I am invested. And, then, nothing. Shoot. Let me try again. I feel myself trying to push through the parts I've already experienced, wanting to get to a new point. And then, gone. And, try again. After the third, I gave up. A year later, I tried again on PC, but the system was such a tease and I believe it just wasn't meant to be.
But, it was the worst experience I've had in the game because I know a bad game and I can quit it, but when a game isn't bad and I can't finish it after multiple attempts due to things outside of my control? It becomes so much more frustrating and sits with you for years."
Aion 2 receives major updates in Korea with a new dungeon, Libra system, Abyss changes and progression improvements ahead of global release plans.
For nearly two decades, GOG has built its identity around DRM-free releases and classic games that actually work on modern PCs. With initiatives like the GOG Preservation Program and One-Click Mods, the platform is going far beyond simply selling old titles — it’s actively maintaining them, fixing them, and making sure they don’t quietly disappear as technology moves on.
Blizzard reveals plans to speed up Diablo releases with more frequent expansions and updates as the franchise moves toward a live-service future.
All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.
I'm picking Medievil not to be controversial in the least. I found the gameplay to be too choppy and the camera gave me motion sickness. It is such a beloved classic but I just couldn't have fun with it. I hope the remaster corrects these two issues for me. I'd love to experience this without feeling uncomfortable.
I also loved Demon Souls but the crushing difficulty made it hard for me to go back and pursue my journey. It just wasn't for me since I'd play for hours, have no save in sight and lose it all. Time management was an issue for me, and perhaps lack of reflexes during battles lol
Resident Evil 6. Had the most lifeless story and gameplay mechanics that I’ve ever played. Which was hard for me to accept because of how enjoyable RE4 & RE5 co-op was for me.
The worst game would have to be ODT or escape or die trying. Maybe it's because I was a kid but the jumping mechanics in the game were super unforgiving and ridiculous. I hated it. I wanted to love it but after i died so many times i just gave up on it.
Big rig racing. You are winner
Ummm probably Naughty Bear. The concept was fun, but very repetetive and the gameplay mechanics just weren't that great in my opinion. Maybe not the worst, but it is the first thing that came to mind when reading the question.
