so much fun can be found in shitty places

 

[lunnuyu]

idk, I only play quality games

 

[e0n]

I don't think I've enjoyed any games below 65 Metacritic, but walking sims and FMV games which toe the line like Dear Esther and Shapeshifting Detective are a nice change of pace.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Too human. Any jaguar game I played. I was stuck with the thing I had to enjoy it lol.

 

[intbal]

I gave this game away to a friend and I still feel bad for him.

I have reported you to the United Nations Council on Hate Crimes.

 

[StateofMajora]

Replayed it countless times and had a blast every single tiem.

Good grief. Thread off to a good start!

 

[Naked Lunch]

NARC
Contra Force
Golgo 13
Primal Rage
Earth Defense Force 2017
Deadly Premonition

Classic, so bad they're good, games.

I feel like Knack 2 was murdered by the internet meme. I recently platinumed the game, it was a really good 3d platformer with action combat. The game continuously throw new level designs/mechanics that requires you use corresponding abilities. The visual is also pretty good. You can also feel the personality difference between big knack and small knack by his animations.

The Technomancer: Great combat and fun character progression.

Rending Sky: Terrible responsiveness. Great character design....

 

[Aenima]

Probably Conan Exiles, if you consider a 68 metacritic shitty. Loved the game, i can see the flaws in it but would buy a Conan Exiles 2 day 1. Played the game so much i burned the HUD of the game on my TV. (the burned hud eventually disappeared over time)

 

[chasimus]

Quite janky & buggy but oh so awesome!

Struggling to think of another example that fits your thread better, so yeah, Alpha Protocal is my pick for now.

Alpha Protocol was awesome! So niche, but Obsidian did a great job trying to cobble all of the pieces of this game together

 

[ACESHIGH]

Seems every game that scores below 80 in MC is shit these days. Doesn't make too much sense to me. But I really enjoyed games like Crackdown 3, Recore and Apocalypse on the PS1.

 

[Dusktildawn48]

Clive Barker's Jericho. Played it a ton when it came out.

 

[A Regular Guy]

The Lord of Shadows series, especially Mirror of Fate

 

[eyesabitdull]

I was 8, and i got it so my sister and I could play.

But goddamn did I play the shit out of the game in order to beat it.

But honestly, there was a lot of shitty PS1 games I played growing up, I just cant remember the titles for life of me.

Thanks for the nostalgia trip OP!

Clive Barker's Jericho. Played it a ton when it came out.

Omg I loved the main menu music, remember my teenage self thinking the game was fun.

 

[Wunray]

Project eden for ps2, terrible game but I loved it. Same goes for eternal ring on ps2

 

[Oddvintagechap]

I dream of a remaster of this game. Probably my favourite in the series.

I think it was in a Jampack Demo, therefore.. its the best.

 

[intbal]

Project eden for ps2, terrible game but I loved it. Same goes for eternal ring on ps2

I don't know anything about the PS2 version, but Project Eden is a fantastic game on PC.

 

[JohnSpartanLee]

World of Warcraft (doing quests)

 

[nush]

 

[Hestar69]

I love all the Army Men games. They are FAR from perfect, but, They got a certain charm about them. I Just beat Army sarges heroes this week and enjoyed it alot.

 

[JokerMM]

i LOVED this game so much

 

[Umbasaborne]

Alien vs predator 2010 is not a good game, but i still love it.

 

[Rest]

The mechanics in MK never was good enough to make it a real good fighting game.

lolwut? Mortal Kombat is consistently the most fun fighting game around.

 

[Rest]

Grandstream Saga:
Terrible top-down perspective with awful walking lego characters, but it had great music and a really novel setting with a dreary, almost melancholy atmosphere.

Hell yeah, I played this game and loved it. I'm not sure if I ever beat it though. Shitty graphics for sure (none of the in game models had faces,) but I remember the combat being pretty fun. The anime style cutscenes were actually pretty good.

 

[Trimesh]

ehh, I have to say that the recent Earth Defense Force games do have good controls. It still has that trashy B-movie vibe, but mechanically it is quite decent.

Well the series did start off as one of D3 publishers 2000 yen "simple" series games - so a certain level of jank is only to be expected. Actually, that whole series has a bunch of games that would fit in well with the subject of this thread, although I have to admit to enjoying quite a few of them (as you might have guessed from my avatar image).

I agree although I wouldn't consider recent EDF games as janky. The series evolved from its humble beginnings into something very good IMO.



I mean it is not AAA or something, but it controls very well. I enjoy it much more than the cover-to-cover gameplay of Gears of War.

Even the very first one was a fun game, although it shows clear signs of being very low budget - the sequel (also Simple 2000) was much improved. They also released a tactics game in the same series.

 

[CaptainConlock]

Disaster Report 4 is so obscenely bad from an objective standpoint but it's so intriguingly compelling that you have to play it. Raw Danger is another game that's bad mechanically but interesting enough to draw you in.

 

[Rei dos Vermes]

I had a lot of fun playing this game with the latest fan patch which kinda fixes the it's biggest issue: the sidekicks' AI.

 

[JLB]

This game is really bad. Terribly bad.

 

[chilichote]

Dark Void - i love(d) it!

 

[FrozenFlame]

Shitty story (and characters) and the on foot/human gameplay was also shit. But I enjoyed the mechs gameplay, even if the turn base FM are way better. Perhaps it was just the lack of singleplayer mech games...

 

[rkofan87]

mea.

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Drakengaurd 3

 

[Wunray]

I don't know anything about the PS2 version, but Project Eden is a fantastic game on PC.

There is a pc version? the one made by eidos?

 

[Gone]

Bloodborne.

 

[Bartski]

Alien vs predator 2010 is not a good game, but i still love it.

I really liked it when it came out, didn't quite capture the nostalgic magic of Aliens vs Predator '99 (that voodoo3 gfx baby) but a totally ok game and in no way shit enough for this thread.
I hope one day someone will resurrect the idea in current-gen tech, that would be amazing.

Other than that, fine shit games selection ladies and gentlemen, up 'till this point imo PEPSI-MAN takes the cake.

[Wunray]

Yooo, never knew this. It was my co op jam back in the day, got to see if i cant aquire it.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Great fun with a buddy.

 

[WoodyStare]

Chromehounds

Terrible single player that acts more as a training for the online, but the online with friends was an absolute blast. I miss it at times.

 

[thismeinteil]

I enjoyed this game. Most hated it.

I think that game would have done much better if they had kept with the original art style and tone.

 

[Revolutionary]

I remember Godzilla PS3/PS4 getting some horrible reviews, with the consensus being that it was too slow and mechanical, but I felt like those aspects were apt for the subject matter (giant kaijus and constructs fighting).
Pretty sure I even got the Platinum lmao

 

[BacklashWave534]

Bullet Witch. I realize it's not great but i love the damn game.

 

[LordBlodgett]

Homefront The Revolution - I played all the way through and really enjoyed this game. I enjoyed the world and gameplay was good. I played in 2018 on the One X so it had been completely patched and I only noticed frame rate problems every once in a while. Definitely at least a 8 out of 10 to me.

Crackdown 3 - World is generic as hell, can't remember the story even a little bit, and yet I had a blast. Gameplay loop is just pure brainless fun.

Eat Lead - This game is the opposite of Crackdown 3. Gameplay is mediocre, but the game is funny and memorable. Its also over relatively quickly, so doesn't wear out it's welcome

Dead Island - completely forgettable game, but it was plenty fun while playing. The second game is worse in every way though.

Actually im looking for this game... I really dont care what gaming review say it..


I still regret dont buy the game when I was had the chance ( was because I was preparing for a special test about my speciality)

 

[teezzy]

Idk, most games are pretty shit ngl

I'm not even entirely sure I enjoy the good ones

Tekken and Soul Calibur r chill
