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.
if i want watch video i rent porno! tell why resident evil suck in WORDS.

You were almost a Jill sandwich.
Vinyl Goddess from Mars
Contributed to functional illiteracy by inviting impressionable children to visit "The Caverns of Choas" in the intro text.
Ancient Domains of Mystery

Sellout roguelike that never open-sourced and is now going on assReam.
Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
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.)

Not a particularly accurate emulation of dreaming, or LSD for that matter.

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

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

CKII is like digimon: started off as an original idea and quickly spun into a ripoff of a Japanese property.
Animal Crossing GC

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
it's an overly basic hack and slash without enough to do to stop it from becoming menial
rune factory 4
No good marriage candidates for female protagonist.
Legend of Mana
Shitty co-op compared to earlier installments and there's no punishment for dying.
Planescape Torment.
Game focuses on its writing to the detriment of both game mechanics and game stability - anything beyond dialogue is a poorly-coded and designed slog and any higher-level magic has a good chance of simply crashing the game.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
Turned what used to be a life and death struggle against a monster into a 4 player clusterfuck where the monster isn't even hard because of it being mounted and toppled every 60 seconds. The game is also doubled in content because of the amount of recolored monsters.
Link's Awakening
Link's Awakening was too good to require graphics to compensate for it's inadequacies. Sword of Mana on the GBA looked better, played better, had a better story even though I can't remember it. It was amazing to play for the time on a GBASP, enough to escape the imperatives of other things. Though I was sure i'd get killed so nothing had any permenance, problems could be endured. Getting killed larger than any other issue.
Return to Zork
worst zork EVER, there were no captions to the speech so if you were deaf or didn't have a sound card the game would basicly be unplayable.
street fighter 2
cammy is nasty shemale
noctropolis
Initially I planned to give somewhat of a tentative recommendation based almost entirely on the game's gorgeous environments and striking atmosphere, but as I went on playing I found that beyond that there was nothing there for it. The writing is abysmal, and even if I tried to look at it through a more tongue-in-cheek lens so much of it is just empty. It’s not an amusing kind of bad either (like “Rise of the Dragon”, which is another point-and-click game that puts style over substance). There’s no sense of weight to this world that ironically enough fleshes itself out only visually, but has absolutely no other substance to it. It’s completely hollow of personality, of characters, of emotion or of any real world. It’s a beautiful backdrop of nothing.
The biggest question I had while playing was “Why should I care about what’s going on?” And the only answer I had was “to see what backgrounds I get to see next”.
It seems the game itself too, works in a similar sense. Rather than the story painting and weaving together the backgrounds, it's vice versa.
The protagonist has virtually no personality, never acts on his own behalf, and the character we portray onto him fails to convey any realism because he doesn’t talk like a normal human being would. With whiny dialogue choices that essentially all boil down to “I’m the hero, you should listen to me”, the cardboard-cutout cast just eventually plays into it and he gets to play the hero like he wants. Maybe this is all some depressive fantasy of his -- this lonely, abandoned middle-aged geek who retreats to his comic books for comfort, and dreams he’s the hero. He’s wanted, he’s loved, and he gets exactly what he wants in a Total Recall all-goes-right kind of adventure. But even if it were the case (and it’s not, unfortunately), it wouldn’t forgive the extremely unfulfilling game experience.
The problem is, in the context of Noctropolis, the "silent protagonist" trope doesn't work. There's a reason adventure games almost never have silent protagonists, and this is because they're entirely narrative-driven. For a narrative to work, it needs to have a pivotal main character we can relate to. Games like HL2, Zelda, Dead Space, etc -- the story is not the primary focus, it is the gameplay that drives the story forward, whereas it's vice-versa in point-and-clicks. In a genre with this amount of focus on narrative, it's just not suited for a silent protagonist, especially with one as poorly done as the one in Noctropolis.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles
The special stages are fucking horrible, the insta-shield is next to worthless, and a lot of the enemies are a huge pain in the ass.
Earthbound
It's boring until you get to Twoson, Stonehenge is tedious.
Ace Combat Zero
Ace Combat Zero moar liek just Zero amirite
Crusader Kings 2
>Wait to get fucked over by sweden simulator
10+gb of hats
age of empires 2
AoE2 is just an endurance competition of who can continue to mash the queue unit button longer. AoE3 was objectively better in every way.
Final Fantasy XI
Not a video game.
Super Mario 2
which resident evil was the one with the trans gender virus and the boss monster that was some guy who grew boobs?
>>446
It's not even Mario, just reskinned Doki Doki Panic.
The Ultimate Doom
diablo pee. shitty community.
Homeland for the Gamecube
Nostalgic thing for oldies nobody cares about.
Ico.

RE Dead Aim, Ps2
I don't think it was exactly a transgender virus as much as it was just what he mutated into
>>454
but it was called the T. G. virus, was it not?
at least jill didn't grow a dick.

Majora's Mask
My favorite is cave story!
Cave Story sucks because it isn't literally flawless like Majora's Mask.
Breath of the Wild
BUY SKYRIM
I'm banned on /v/ right now.
Dragon's Dogma
literally just "what if skyrim was japanese"
My blood keeps getting smaller
Ok cool, but what’s your favorite game?
Mine’s Killer7.
The North American cover art has too much red and black on it. This is the only possible criticism because the game itself is flawless.
No More Heroes
Lightsaber Wagglefest
Shadowrun, the FPS on the xbox 360.
The cross platform multi-player was a decent idea, but it was poorly implemented and left the PC players to absolutely dominate the console players.
My favorite is Phantasy Star IV
A fucking JRPG on a the sega genesis with worse gameplay than it's competitors that couldn't decide if it wanted to be a fantasy or sci-fi setting, and sucks at both.
My favorite vidya game is Mega Man X, on the super ninty
>>471
You don't have the dash at the start, and it's entirely possible to defeat 7/8 Mavericks without it, making the game artificially more difficult.
My favorite video game is Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles.
No multiplayer mode
Double Dragon

Punching whip-toting butch women is sexist and homophobic.

Also there are no rules besides the first one
> Hexen
All the console ports were ultra-shitty even by '90s standards.
> Minecraft
Inspires self-professed retards to spam 4-ch with their KKK servers. Also a garbage Infiniminer ripoff with unfocused gameplay and nothing but lolrandom additions like magic and new animals ever since early beta.
Factorio
I have nothing bad to say about Factorio, well maybe the fact that if you don't pay attention to what time it is (maybe day), you can become unemplyed and homeless just like that.
