The Worst Video Game You Ever Played?

any of the star wars games
 
Modern games - The War Z.
Old timey games - can't think of anything.
 
Had to be "Dead Space" for PC. Oh my god it was sooooooo bad. Rocked on console though.
 
I'm going to say Pokemon Snap. I have no idea why anyone liked that game at all. I mean, sure, even when it came out I didn't really like Pokemon at all, but at least the games felt sort of okay with the turn-based RPG stuff...that game just was unbelievably pointless.

Just the novelty of a computer that could play chess was kinda neat at first. The bogus thing was how long it would take to move.

Sometimes I'd move and then come back a couple hours later and it still hadn't moved yet. It was still "thinking".
 
Any of the more recent(Post Neverwinter Nights) games from Bioware. Play for a couple minutes, click past 2 dozen cinematics, play for a couple minutes, click past cinematics...If I want to play a visual novel, I will get a visual novel. If I am playing an RPG, I want to play a game.

Technically visual novels are games. Besides, the same could be said of games like Indigo Prophecy, Metal Gear Solid, and point-and-click adventures. Not everything has to be the same.

"Worst video game ever" isn't something I feel strongly about, probably because I don't engage seriously with 'bad games'. The ending of Mass Effect 3 left me feeling more desolate than I could ever imagine from a piece of fiction, but in retrospect Mass Effect 3 was still a great game.

For PC games, the first blair witch was interesting. A big rip off of resident evil, except you couldn't win the final segment of the game. You had to outrun a shadow to get back to the house. There were 2 paths you could choose. I had to draw it out on paper since you had to stay in full run mode. I could make it to the last step before the house and the shadow would consume me.

There were 3 games in total. The other 2 were not even worth wasting the time. Thankfully I received them as a gift, so I didn't spend any money on them.
 
My experience began and ended with Pong - had trouble with the backspin slice.
 
Command and Conquer Generals....****ing hijacked a great series. EA Blows.

Whoa now. I love C&C from Red Alert onward. I'll admit I was upset about losing the traditional story. But Generals was a great RTS, it dominated my multiplayer experience for quite a while.
 
Well I finially got Resident Evil 6 and im pretty disappointed. May not be the worst game Ive played but it is pretty bad.
 
"Civilization: A Call to Power" by Activision.

I am a big fan of the Civ series by Sid Meier, even of the spin-offs Colonization and Alpha Centauri. Activision had the smart idea of buying the rights on the name "Civilization" from a manufacturer of board games, and after a lawsuit with Sid Meier, they agreed Activision was allowed to release one game with that name, until the rights return home.

"A Call to Power" was that game. I didn't really have high expectations, but damn, it was awful. Totally unbalanced, the most absurd ideas such as slave trading and eco-terrorists, and then, it wasn't even fully programmed when it was released! It crashed all the time.

Later they released "A Call to Power II", which at least was somewhat playable, nowhere near the original Civ series but still okay, but it should have really been a free upgrade for the first game.

My issue is more that they stole the title after acquiring the rights and instead of publishing new content they created what amounts to a new game. It was a decent RTS and should have been titled something else. For that reason I considerate it a horrible game (on a different note Rise of Nations remains one of my fav RTS games of all times).
