There was a thread like this in /anime/ and, although it seems to have died from lack of interest, I liked it. Let's try it here.
For instance, assuming >>0's favorite is THE GAME: What fun is a game that can't be won? Also, you just lost it.
My favorite: Metal Gear Solid 3
No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
So, you've managed to build the perfect city - a veritable utopia upon which all civilizations should tremble with delight.
How would you like to destroy it? I recommend fire.

Borderlands: Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
The only redeemable feature I found of Borderlands is that it's case makes a decent coaster.
Shenmue II
This game (and its prequel) invented the cancerous tumor upon gaming known as the quick time event. Therefore, regardless of its supposed brilliance, it's shit for that reason, and that reason only.
Super Mario Bros. 3
Yet another side-scroller involving a little red man.
Rapelay
It doesn't have the girls falling in love with the rapist like they should.
yggdra union
The fuck is that?
Metal Gear Solid
"Oh, I forgot! Look on the back of the CD case..."
2 hours of ludicrous searching in all the offices in the game leads me to look at a faq, only to realize they meant the CD case OUTSIDE THE GAME. FUCK YOU! This isn't the 1970's you pricks, people buy shit used! Maybe I didn't GET the fucking case, you assholes! Gawd.
Star Fox Assault
It still had Krystal in it.
Petz Catz 2
Stop making up games.

Dear Konami:
In December of 2009, the long awaited fourth entry to the critically acclaimed Tokimeki Memorial series was released for Sony PSP in Japan. The standard upon which other simulations of its kind are judged against, the Tokimeki Memorial name enjoys an august status in the gaming community, identifiable by casual and hardcore gamers alike. Yet for fifteen years the celebrated Tokimeki Memorial lineage has been systematically passed for localization and marketing onto Western shores. I ask for an end to this grievous mistake: please localize Tokimeki Memorial 4 into English.
It has been argued that media such as Tokimeki Memorial 4 are fated for inevitable failure in the Western market. Indeed Konami once tried exploring these very same waters with Brooktown High in 2007, which suffered hardships during development and dismal commercial reception. Let me refute these claims with a single statement of fact: Brooktown High is as far from Tokimeki Memorial 4, as Snake’s Revenge is to Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots. Unlike the disappointing and ill-fated Brooktown High, Tokimeki Memorial 4 embodies everything that brought success to the genre it helped establish (and everything the former regrettably lacked): enriching storylines, captivating characters, traditional anime artwork, commanding voice acting, strategic game play, hidden secrets, worthwhile replay value, and the even legendary Konami Code.
Despite the unfortunate situation of being devoid an English release, the entirety of Tokimeki Memorial enjoys a devout following in the West. Prior to its release, Tokimeki Memorial 4 enjoyed prominent advertising on import sites such as Play-Asia and National Console Support, with individuals going so far as requesting preorder availability of the $300 collector’s edition. Limited translations and extensive walkthroughs for various generations of the series can be found throughout the Internet, from Wikipedia to GameFAQs, requested and compiled by passionate supporters. Thus it comes as no surprise that repeated inquiries for localization are periodically posted on forums that specialize in such activity, the popular Atlus and NIS America among them.
Were Tokimeki Memorial 4 to see Western shores, there is compelling reason to believe the slumbering market Konami unsuccessfully extended a hand to find with Brooktown High would awaken and reciprocate with eagerness. Furthermore the depth and diversity of game mechanics in Tokimeki Memorial 4 would open doors to those unfamiliar with the series, owing from groundbreaking qualities that continue to earn praise and commanding reviews in Japan. With adequate advertising and enthusiastic community driven word of mouth, even exclusive distribution through the PlayStation Store would see positive turnout. Retaining the Japanese voice acting to expedite delivery and lower production costs could serve as a selling point towards those supportive of localizations maintaining an untainted presentation.
Konami is admired and respected for its bravery and innovation in digital entertainment. I encourage Konami to honor an iconic franchise to pioneer a market that remains untapped in North America, Europe, and Australia, thereby proving what many already know to be true: that the Western market is ready for a Tokimeki Memorial.
Sincerely,
Full Name,
Guaranteed Purchaser of Tokimeki Memorial 4 in English
>>340 Lawful Stupid.
Phantasy Star Online... Episode 3.
They keep makin' 'em, and I keep not buyin' 'em. Also, episode three was turned into a card battle game.

Opposing Force
It was only an expansion pack.
Half-Life
Ruined the chances to succeed of countless other FPSs when it came out.
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga
It's not a Zelda game.
Red Faction
Even in old Rampage you could have more fun of destruction... Wait...
Rampage
Rampage... Repetitive as all fuck. I played through all the levels and it was all the same exact thing. If I still had that game, which I don't, I would go and break it with a hammer right now to spite you.
007: The World is Not Enough (N64)
007: The World is Not Enough??? What is wrong with you? Is Goldeneye too amazing for you?

No One Lives Forever
ONE MORE F***ING Bond game.
Time Fcuk
>>355, did you actually play No One Lives Forever? The only thing Bond about it is being a hilarious parody of the movies at their campiest.
As for Time Fcuk: Flash sucks, as do monochrome pixelated 'retro' graphics and one-trick platformers.
No One Lives Forever 2
>>356
You have to play as a chick.
Persona 4.
You have to play as a dude

The friendly ai/health rating is shit. My team always gets raped, especially on that level where you have to assault that alien ship.
Hitman
I hoped for much more creativity, not just following paths put there by designers. But then... it is common flaw of most games.
Subwar 2050
who wants to play a simulation? go friggen learn instead of simulate a submarine driver...who plays on PCs anyways? everyone plays game consoles.
Oddworld: Abe's Exodus
Can you play Oddworld: Abe's Exodus on PS3? Or you have to keep for PS for that? :P The game was fun though.

Oh ho, those silly players found another method to win more than 10% of the time? Time to nerf the shit out of this one too.
Angband
>>405
Nonsensical mishmash of Tolkienian lore without being very faithful to any of it. And if you miss an artifact it's gone for good.
Sword Master (the NES one, not any other game that might have that title.)
>>407
The "style over substance" entry in the series
LSD: Dream Emulator
>>408
Not a particularly accurate emulation of dreaming, or LSD for that matter.

Elevated nuke-happy Gandhi from an innocent bug into a moronic joke.

japanese no'1 game FF14
I've never had any training with this gun, so that means I cannot accurately cap a guy in the head from five feet away.
Crusader Kings II
>>414
CKII is like digimon: started off as an original idea and quickly spun into a ripoff of a Japanese property.
Animal Crossing GC
>>415
Nothing ever happens. You keep trying to get money to get out of debt and keep running up more debt until you get bored and quit. Villager interaction is shallow.
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
To keep the thread going, I'm going to reply as if >>418's game was http://www.mobygames.com/game/raiden so:
Just another generic shoot 'em up, they're a dime a dozen.
Enclave
>>387
another gripe about Diablo 2 I forgot to mention is how for the higher difficulty levels they nerf your resistances!
>>420 Generic dungeon crawler in my opinion.
Dystopia, go!
I really enjoyed sonic adventure 1.
Sonic Adventure 1 had shit camera and level design.
I like Super Mario World.
>>423
Encourages you to murder the poor innocent Yoshi by jumping off his back to get greater distance over the middle of a chasm.
Enclave
