mkreku Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I had a good time in Sacred (or Sacred Plus, if I remember correctly), but I was playing it in co-op with my friends and we didn't bother much with the story. We were mostly exploring the vast open-ended land and fighting monsters to collect and trade loot among us. Also, there were lots and lots of tiny little side quests that you could do everywhere and they were surprisingly varied. But yeah, the main story was a drag.

CoM_Solaufein Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 No no, there was a horrible one on the NES. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutan...tles_(NES_game) I actually had the PC version. Absolutely horrible game. Uh, warning, language. Dude, that's like one of the best games ever made. It's also one of the most difficult games ever made. We actually talk about this game at work. That's how awesome it is. Because you know, we only talk about awesome games at Obsidian. I agree, it was a good game for the good old NES. I rate it up there with Contra.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 While I would never claim that they were the best games I have ever played, I am surprised that so many people are mentioning Neverwinter Nights and Morrowind in their lists. Personally, I enjoyed both of these games, and, while I know they each had their shortcomings, dust off the disks every few months. One might need to know that the hundreds of modifications that I use have entirely reshaped the game, so my experience might have been different from those individuals who played the "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I bought the first Wayne Gretzky hockey game for the PSP. It was actually unplayable. It was laggy. Hockey games need to be smooth, and this lacked that. I tried to return it, but EB said it didn't matter that t was unplayable, they could only take it as a trade in.

Llyranor Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 TMNT is one of the worst games ever created. 2 and 3 are completely on the other side of the spectrum. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petay Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I know there's going to be a lot of people disagree with me on this, but I really really didn't catch on to the whole original NeverWinter Nights. I mean, this is more of an opinion thing rather than actual bad game design, because I know there's a lot of really big fans of this game, but I found it difficult to like a few aspects of it. I guess i found it quite a complicated game compared to the simpleness which I found in KotOR. I guess I might not have given it enough time either really... I definitely agree with Meta about that Tomb Raider game....now that was truely SHOCKING. Especially coming from an avid Tomb Raider fan before that...Tomb Raider 2 being the first game I ever bought I was real excited about the new one, but let down horrifically..

I couldn't finish this game, despite gritting my teeth through some of the most atrocious game design EVER. The worst of the series, but I still kind of enjoyed it. But then, during that time we were on a heavy TR kick, buying 2 copies of almost all the TR's so we could play at the same time etc. Maybe it's more fun when you can holler/laugh to your spouse about something in the game. “Things are as they are.

I know there are, at least, a couple of people on this forum who agree. I'm one of them. Not saying it's the worst game (or even a "bad" game), just among the least good games that I paid good dollars for, enjoyment wise, as per the original posters question.

I *am* a Tombraider fan, too. I went out afterwards and bought a PSone and the original game.

I sort of gave up on the franchise after TR IV (which I didn't finish, which was a first at the time for an old TR fan). I guess I missed out on all the crap fun that is Chronicles and Angel of Darkness. If you happen to run across TR Legends in the bargain bin, give it a try.

Lorfean Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm probably gonna be flamed for this, but I'll take that risk and say that I couldn't for the life of me get into Troika's Arcanum. I tought the animation was awful, the interface unwieldy, that AI seemed buggy, the controls in general (but particularly the two available combat modes) felt odd and clunky and the story didn't manage to grab me in any way, shape or form. So, yea. Arcanum is probably one of the worst games I've bought. It didn't stop me from purchasing Troika's other two offerings tho, both of which I have very fond memories of (ToEE, although completely devoid of any story, still has the best implementation of D&D rules in a video game, ever, and had gorgeous graphics. And Bloodlines has one of my favorite settings in a CRPG and ranks right up there with the best when it comes to atmosphere and story-telling). L.
