Worst Game of 2010

[The-King]

 

I was referring more to him hating on RDR, which is leaps and bounds ahead of Stalker and The Witcher. I couldn't give a sh*t less for COD.

They're incomparable, The Witcher is a purely defined, top of the line RPG, STALKER is well... STALKER and RDR is Grand Theft Auto with horses and more atmosphere. There completely different things and comparing them, saying one is leaps and bounds better than another is stupid. There all great games. The Witcher is easily among the best RPGs ever made, only game that honestly comes close is Morrowind and maybe Mass Effect/2 and even they fail to live up to it in all honesty. STALKER is good, although a tad bit overrated and RDR (from what I played of it) is amazing, although a bit barren and oversimplified.

 

Like I tried to point out before, saying a AAA title (or even a game that's considered good upon general consensus) is among the worst games ever made because you don't like is equivalent to saying a piece by Claude Monet isn't a masterpiece and belongs next to work done by some sh*tstain Williamsburg hipster because you're not a fan of his technique is absolutely moronic.

[Lithium]

You forgot to add Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Mass Effect 2 on your list.

BC2 was bad but I'm looking forward to ME2 on the PS3!

@Linki wow! What a helpful post thats a major contribution

How are you contributing with your sh*tty topic?

Sorry bro, logic and reasoning aren't allowed in this thread.

wow stop trolling people here are giving reasons why they don't like the games they don't like.

I didn't like RDR because i felt it was way to easy, stereotypical characters that appear only once and are never seen again, repetitive missions, and so forth.

[tubbs51]

on NCAA Football 11 last night i was playing and on defense i forced a turnover on downs at my 2 yard line... i couldnt get it out until i tossed a pass to my TE who took it all the way for the Touchdown 98 yards a new NCAA record.... oh wait there's a yellow napkin on the field... "Holding offense, Results in Safety".... wha?!?!? wait... it should be half distance to the goal replay third down... but insted of it being a 1 yard penalty the game makes it a 3 yardsr (note: im on the 2 yard line) so it backs the scrimmage line into the endzone which results in the game giving the other team a f*cking safety and 2 f*cking points... now i still won the game but thats a very key and very known rule in american football and yet they didnt get it right

Actually, if there's a holding call in your own end zone during a pass, it is a safety. So they got it right. Not defending EA or anything, but if you're going to bitch about something, make sure you know what you're talking about first.

 

Wikipedia article on Safties

 

 

the opposing team commits certain penalties, such as intentional grounding or holding, in their own end zone.

I know and in a previous post of mine i said it wasnt in the endzone. it was just outside of it.

Good Lord, this thread is such a clusterf*ck.

 

Mods lock decent topics because "there was another thread just like it 5 months ago" but this sh*t is allowed to go on for 5 pages? A hurr.

[NickRad]

Ok the reasons I don't like Black Ops:

1: The story felt so rushed near the end, so only about 5 missions were good and felt realistic

2. The characters were boring except for Renzov

3. Don't get me started on Alex Mason

4. Multiplayer is pretty self explanatory

5. Pretty much Black Ops is like most Call of Dutys, their just made so easy that your spoon fed through out the whole thing

They can add new features to Call of Duty but it still feels like MW2 just well set in the Cold War.

 

Just because a game is rated "AAA" doesn't make it a good enjoyable game. As for the people who asked what my favourite games of 2010 were they were:

1. Assassin's Creed 2/Brotherhood

2. Red Dead Redemption

3.Yakuza 3

4. Pokemon Heart Gold/Silver

5. Super Mario Galaxy 2

6. MGS Peace Walker

 

And you know what these games all have in common? They all require skill and aren't watered down for 8 year olds who think Cod is the only good game

 

[Sunrise Driver]

"AAA" means that the game has dozens of advertising everywhere. Nothing else.

Ok what? I love Assassins Creed 2 but it didn't really require much skill in fact it is one of the easiest games I've played for a long time. Again Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver as much as I think they're good games they are aimed at a much younger demographic and aren't exactly high in the requiring skills/difficulty stakes, unless you happen to think running around in tall grass for half an hour, going to a Gym and selecting 'Powerful move' is a shining example of needing skill.

 

 

4. Multiplayer is pretty self explanatory

 

No it isn't, how is the multiplayer bad? There are a few glitches yes such as the spawning system being broken from time to time but mostly its a solid experience from what I've seen. And don't even bother telling me its watered down compared to other games on the market because that's just a cop out.

 

 

5. Pretty much Black Ops is like most Call of Dutys, their just made so easy that your spoon fed through out the whole thing

 

I presume you're not playing it on the harder difficulties then because I don't really see any spoon feeding in the campaign, in fact if anything its quite challenging because of the enemy spawn system. (Infinite Respawns)

Oh no I don't think you get spoon fed in the campaign I was talking about MP which takes no skill nor thinking. Many other games MP modes take skill ie Gta MGS4

Nickrad i think you need to go through the entire topic again and see how many people actually agree with you! witch you will find are very few! i think you need to realize that your list of worst games is completly incorrect according to many on this site! I have gone through a few sites and not 1 lists the games you picked. you need to accept that you were incorect and actually do some research into what game's other than the ones from your own opinoin are infact the worst games of 2010!

 

who ever said naughty bear well done!

Spoon feeding - To treat (another) in a way that discourages independent thought or action, as by overindulgence.

 

Thats pretty much what cod does.

[Menaced]

Definately not a game that deserves to be branded as the "Worst Game of 2010", but more of a personal let-down... Dead Rising 2.

 

Let's just say, being completely new to Dead Rising, I expected better.

 

I hated having to check up on Katie and keep up with her meds and the story wasn't much to write home about either. I wasn't too keen on the wreak-chaos-in-the-mall gameplay, either.

 

Wasn't my cup of tea really, but by no means the worst game of 2010.

 

As for the actual worst, I can't say I've got one.

Discourages independant thought or action? Okay right, this is rediculous because I seriously think you people arn't really understanding that video games are supposed to be... well fun? You want to know why Call of Duty is successful, because it's fun. It's the same reason Halo does so damn well, why Battlefield does well and why Counterstrike did so well. They weren't successful because they encouraged independant thought or action, the werent successful because of a lack of 'overindulgence' they are successful because they're fun.

 

Okay maybe sometimes we do want a bit more from out games, we want more of a challenge or a deeper storyline but primarily you want to just relax and have fun. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to sit down and study a game just for the sake of playing it, they just want to pop in the disc, hop online get some frags and have a laugh.

Dead Rising is definitely an acquired taste, I personally disliked the first one and came out from it quite disappointed. I thought it was clunky, the story wasn't great and the system for saving and missions was flawed. The second one rectified that for me and actually ended up being one of my favourite games this year but I can definitely see why people would dislike it. I think its one where you will go in expecting a lot because of how it is described to you by others.

as i said before it is everybodies opinion of what THEY HAVE PLAYED. Sure this topic could be a breeze if we all went to metacritic and look for the lowest scores but not everyone has played those games.

 

And Black OPS is another spoonfed COD - killstreaks, no recoil on weapons, the skill to play the game is almost non existant.

Ever heard the term easy to learn, hard to master? It seems people like you are just moaning about it taking no 'skill' because there is a more even playing field for casual gamers and the more 'hardcore' crowd and the hardcore 'crowd' doesn't like this because it shows them that maybe they weren't as good as they first thought.

 

Heres one for you, if you have skill then you'll be good at the game and will win more and get those killstreak rewards more against those that don't have the skill required.

[OysterBarron]

so just because you guys think you wasted £40 or $60 dollars on a game and you havent played these worse games of 2010 that makes the original list the indefeinite list lol!

 

Its Easy i simply wait until there own illogic overwhelms them!

 

If we dont use the metacritic list (witch i would have thought has been gathered from more respected sources than yourself/myself) then the topic will just continue on like it has because with the complete difference of opinions hence making the topic pretty pointless! because no one will agree!

im pretty sure you haven't played cod1

For god sakes did you get what I said before. THIS TOPIC IS EVERYONE'S OPINION!!! No one has wrong opinion, if I think Black Ops is the worst game of 2010 thats my OPINION. Just because people like it doesn't mean I am wrong

And if I haven't the point would be what exactly? If CoD1 is that damn good then go back to playing it and stop bitching about the later ones requiring 'no skill' and let those of us who want to have a bit of fun with a 'game that spoon feeds you' have our fun, because that's what I'd rather be doing, I'd rather spend my hard earned money on game that provides me with fun and a bit of a laugh with friends, then one that requires 'hardcore skills'

[Rebel]

Considering I've not played much on my Xbox this year my favourite games of the year were in no order;

 

Assassins Creed 2 - Was a huge improvement from the first one. Although I remember those really annoying ''bugs'' of running and jumping while on those timed missions. Then again that might of just been me. Also really enjoyed the storyline and the fact that all of the ''feathers'' really weren't as much as a ball ache compared to those stupid flags in the first game. Also really enjoyed the fact you got to ''build'' your own town. Loved the weapons in the game but I felt like you should of maybe gotten the gun earlier on since I always forgot about it towards the end. I just love the whole aspect of being Spiderman set in that moment of history.

 

Red Dead Redemption - Long awaited game for me and it felt like Christmas when I got it through my door. Really enjoyed the storyline again with a great twist at the end (although you kind of saw it coming in some ways) Love how much you can actually do in game, apart from side missions/story missions and such. The fact you could go around hunting on your horse 24/7 with challenges and running into strangers while just exploring was such a big thing. Then again I just loved the hunting factor. I'll admit some of the storyline missions did get a little annoying. The bounty hunting got really old really fast but that was just me. The atmosphere was amazing to. Loved the sound of the thunderstorms even though in my game they were pretty rare.

 

Fallout New Vegas - Loved Fallout 2 although I was really late onto the band wagon. Spent hours upon hours on that game. NV is great, sooo much to keep you busy and just go off on one little area and explore and by the time you've looked up at the clock 4 hours have passed and you've done nothing but side quests and what not. You can really get yourself ''lost'' in this game and I still haven't finished it but I'm really looking forward to getting the time to actually do that. The graphics still feel like FO3 and so does the character movement but with so much you can actually do, I personally don't think the graphics takes away from the game. Although they could be better. Oh and there's nothing like popping off killing things in VATS mode.

 

There's probably more, but honestly its 2:40am and these are the only 3 that pop into my head as my games of the year since I actually own/played them.

[Rockworm]

4. Fallout New Vegas- Overated and just boring

LOL couldn't take this kid seriously after this.

 

Not just because New Vegas is brilliant but because "overrated and boring" is enough to put it on his worst of the year list.... Yeah right.

[Rockworm]

1. Red Dead Redemption

 

Shorter than GTAIV, mission structure (repetitiveness), stereotypical characters that show up once and are never seen again, no challenge at all, empty towns, little interaction.

Just finished RDR last night and I gotta disagree in the strongest sense of the word.

This game is easily on my best of 2010 list at the TOP.

and shorter than GTAIV? really? Missions were varied I have to say, Characters were fleshed out very strongly... sure some of them came and went but Rockstar has always done that didn't see any stereotypes, It wasn't the hardest game but wasn't extremely easy either... your last 2 points aren't even worth disputing what it lacks for in that department it more than makes up for in things to do.

Many other games MP modes take skill ie Gta MGS4

Oh man, that's hilarious. Go back to eating your cheetos and chugging your Mountain Dew honing your hardcore skills at Pokemon and stop bitching and let us enjoy playing.

Where was I flaming you? You must not know me well if you think that was a flame from me. I was being very calm and easy in that post. I was just laughing at the idea that it takes skill to play GTA online. And the fact that one of your favorite games is Pokemon, yet CoD is "too simple" for you. It doesn't get too much simpler than Pokemon, trust me, I grew up on it.
