Like, when did you first in your life realize a game was actually bad? Possibly even to the point that you could not play it any more?
When I was a kid I used to like pretty much everything I played because gaming wasn't a thing you could do every day. Even games with slightly wonky programming were alright in my books, as long as I could do cool stuff in them.
Then I found Resident Evil: Missions. That was a truly traumatizing moment. I don't even want to talk about it anymore...
I did beat the game eventually though, through pure perseverance. Never again...
Brink.
I just can't.
I just
Just
it was awful
imagine playing a game of cod with terrible team mates
on a map with one sided spawns
and you have two shit guns and can't do anything
and shit perks that do nothing
your teams mates aren't going for the objectives
and if they do they die in a second
you also spawn about 2 minutes away from the objective
and when you do get to the objective
you can't fucking hack it because it takes too long
takes your gun away
and requires you to stay close to it so you dont die
but you will
all the time
It was such as shit fucking game, holy fuck I spent £5 on that piece of shit.
I don't think I have ever bought a game that I disliked. I have always looked deep into games before I buy them, so I don't waste my money.
Daffy Duck in Duck Dodgers. I owned Super Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, and this game. What makes the first two better than the last? The easiest collectables are not hard to get I.E. jumping onto a platform.
Before this, I thought people were over reacting to bad games (and most of you still are).

Yeah, im the same way. (With the exception of a few games.)
I've probably blocked a few ones that happened before it out of my memory but the worst was probably Spore, just because what it presented itself to be.
Beetleguise on NES. That game had little to no instruction on what I was to do, didn't know how to attack or what my objective was. The second one came later was Dragon Ball Z: Ultimate Battle 22. Good lord that was a failure pile in a sadness bowl of a game.
For starters, the back to the future NES game was a terrible waste of time. How that even got approved of is beyond me. I'm at least thankful that Telltale Games did a game of BTTF to erase the existence of that turd. Now if only someone could do a Roger Rabbit game in the vein of Grim Fandango and L.A Noire to erase the memory of the NES game.
Leisure Suit Larry: Manga Cum Laude. This is proof on how you can screw up(no pun intended) a video game series without having its creator on board on developing a game based off of a series. MCL has nothing to do with the original main character Larry Laffer, as we get introduced to his nephew who's trying to be like his Uncle Larry(losing his virginity to a babe on the college campus). Makes you wonder how Larry's family tree works. This game isn't a point and click adventure game, its just a mini game based extravaganza. Whats even more insulting is the fact that there's sex in this game. I know that the previous LSL games had references to sex, but they were kept at a minimum and were there to sneak in on humor to humiliate Larry Laffer.
That is nonexistence in this game since there's so much sex references all over the place its hard to find the humor in it. Its like whoever stepped into the then Sierra company wasn't into the original LSL games and thought it was mainly about sex instead of humoring the player by having Larry get humiliated in the most comical way possible. I'm not going to go into details with the content, but I'm not surprised that there was so much references to sex that they even went out of their way to produce a 'uncut' version of the game. This game was trying way to hard to be like Ralph Bakshi's Fritz The Cat with all the references to sex being in this game. If I wanted a porn video game I would have asked Zone to make a proper one. Its no wonder why Al Lowe hates this(and the sequel Box office bust that I refuse to play) because they are both nothing but big fat middle fingers to gamers and fans of the original Leisure Suit Larry series.

It's hilariously painful.
Rascal on the PS1. I was young at the time so I didn't really know any better. But when I went back to it, I realised how terrible that game is. It's really that bloody bad.
As for recent games, dunno. I find it hard to hate on games that really aren't that bad. I played Sonic '06...I enjoyed it. I also played Brink but found it hard to hate that game because I played it with friends.
I'd say mobile games are terrible, the controls are why.

It really depends on the mobile game itself. While RE:Missions was seriously terrible and should never have been released, I did enjoy Confidential Report. That's just one example, though, I've played a lot of good ones.
I got slapped by a bad game memory recently. I loved Sonic 3D Blast as a kid. I got all nostalgic and bought it again recently.
How in the world did I enjoy that game?!? The controls are horrible, and don't you dare ever lose a flicky. Chasing those things back down is a fate worse than death.

Oh, by exceptions, I meant like I havn't looked deep into a few of the games. Like those old Dragon Ball Z Games for the PS2. I still like them, though.

But but but...... Budokai is a good game. It still stands up to me (or that just might be the nostalgia talking). At lest it's better than Budokai 3, which is only cool because of the way Freeza and Cooler transform.
Honestly, I think my first was White Chronicles 2. I generally only buy games that I know I'll like and I skeptic of this one, and it turned out that it just isn't that good.
