I don't mean something like a AAA shitfest, I mean really bad games. Like those weird Chinese plug 'n play games.
For me it was one of those Game & Watch-style of games I got at McDonalds when I was a kid. I don't remember what the theme was, but I remember all you did was move a net up and down to collect butterflies and dodge something.
After about a minute of this it would go onto the next level, from what I could tell each level was the exact same (even where the butterflies and obstacles spawned from) there was no real level cap. I couldn't have been older than 7, but even then I knew it was a piece of shit.

I don't remember the name, but I played a godawful Whac-A-Mole arcade game in Germany as a teenager. It was the most unresponsive and slow pile of garbage I've played. You had a flimsy plastic hammer and faux-DDR pad hooked to a screen with a grid. When a mole popped up in one of the squares you were meant to hit the corresponding square on the pad, but it would only work 25% of the time.

It would have to be either one of the games in 300in1 ARCADE GAMES FOR PC compilations I had as a kid or Soldner on PS2, which I cannot find anywhere. It was a WWII fps and the first level took place in a snow filled forest. It was a stealth section and I could not for the life of me get past that first level nor could my teacher, who was the one that gave me that game to try out. I am absolutely god awful at stealth games, but I could at least finish Blood Money without cheats on my own, this was a bullshit game with unforgiving hitboxes and draw distance the length of my frostbitten dick.

How are they measuring stick detection in this video? It clearly isn't "when the thing starts moving" because that's the animation response. You shouldn't be able to see the difference between stick detection and animation response because there's nothing to measure it by.
Unless they are actually intercepting the inputs to see when the system recognizes them? But you shouldn't be able to do that on a console.

Recently that I can remember? The GC Bobobo game. Holy shit if it doesn't suck ass. I have to wonder how small the budget, the dev team and the time they took to release it was. The gameplay is extremely basic without any depth, pretty much move and run to push the other players. That's it. The movement is extremely barebones. And the "dungeons" suck balls too.
Maybe it's not that bad, but holy fuck I couldn't keep playing it any longer.

It's hilariously bad, let me give you a quick rundown.
>A King's Bounty clone with 3 units per faction. There are only three factions, while playing as a faction you cannot use units of any other factions.
>The game is an android port that tells you to "tap" on things and gives you stars for battles.
>If you repeat the same battle twice, and make the same moves, the RNG outcome as well as the movement of the enemy will be the same.
>Units will stop attacking each other for no fucking reason at all
>The arrow of the crossbowman comes out of his head
>3 voice lines for around 10 spells
>The character model of our buff battlemage is the same as for the """beautiful""" elf they are only different texture-wise
>The dialogue is written like a bad LARP
>The twist is that it was all a dream of a comatose girl
>A plot important character follows you, she can get stuck behind a tree stump and you can leave her there
>There are mistranslated and non-translated sentences in different languages than English
>Pic related is how a troll looks like
>The game claims you can chose between three different factions, you actually have to play them in order.
>The leveling up system is a straight upgrade system, with three straight branches
>You have to akwardly draw the spells on the screen instead of just casting them, they call it an innovative casting system.
>Everything is overall fucking ugly.
>Some of the units avalible to you are actually completely useless and a waste of gold.
>Almost every spell just deals damage with nothing more.
>The game resets all your gold and units when you get to a new location.
And most importantly
The devs are so incompetent that they misspelled their game's title. It's called "Spellcarafter" on the side of the box instead of "Spellcrafter"

Even those I'd consider terrible within a franchise are still serviceable in some way on their own, so I'm just going to post this.
I played Skyrim for about 2 hours back on release and dropped it immediately afterwards, with no intention of going back to it ever again.
What put me off so much before I even got a chance to experience the game properly was the interface. I hated it so much, it just made not want to play the game any more.

It is the worst game I'd ever played. From what I remember half the features don't work (some of the guns just won't select), some maps don't work. AI just wanders around with no direction and regularly gets stuck behind things on the map. Shots commonly don't register. Sometimes when you shot, a paint splatter would just hover in mid air. Quite literally every thing about the game is broken.
PC Gamer (which used to be somewhat reliable back in 1998) gave it the lowest score I've ever seen them give, something like 2%.

I've been playing this game recently. What's so bad about it? Is it the fact that the majority of exp that you earn in the first 40 hours will be from discovering locations on your map? Is it because the "free" accounts are so limited in their ability to do anything that "free" players are effectively forced to purchase the expansions if they wish to participate in the game's economy, or even make use of minor conveniences like mounts that will allow them to move faster than the default walking speed? Is it because combat seems to lack any complexity beyond the diablo-esque "get better gear" and that skills and passives seem to boil down to "stack crit chance and dps on a variety of skills that themselves are nothing more than different flavors of damage"? Is it any of these, or am I totally fucking wrong?
