>Rhapsody: A musical adventure
Some guy at the game store, back when it was new, convinced me that it would be an RPG so good that it would change my life.

After playing it, it did. It showed me that there is a series of games so retarded that I should never trust game suggestions again.

The City of Lost Children. By far. The movie is quite good, but the game is the biggest mess I've ever played.

Imagine an old style adventure game, where you're going around collecting items to solve puzzles. Except that the items you're looking for usually can't even be seen on screen, so you just have to wander around searching every inch of everything. Add to that, every time you search and there's nothing there she says either "I can't do that!" or "I can't do anything" which really just means that you are hearing her say that constantly.

The kicker on top of everything is that the game requires an entire memory card worth of space for a single saved game.

Street Combat for the SNES. I don't know if the Ranma 1/2 game this was based on is any good, but what we got in the US is worse than Shaq-Fu and Rise of the Robots. At least those two games looked pretty.

Pefect Weapon for psx.
At first glance it looks pretty cool, just look at the screen, it looks nice right ?
Even the music is sort of cool.

The problem lies n the gameplay, your character moves in a really weird way.
The controls are similar to Resident Evil, but something is way off, it's hard to explain.
Another problem is that you are supposed to explore and jump over ledges and stuff, but everytime you touch a wall or get too close to a ledge your character stops and says "No way". Wich gets super annopying really fast, and migfht also confuse you since the camera angle doesn't even let you see the ledges you have to jump over most of the time.
This problem will probably make you go around i ncircles for a while, wich brings us to another problem; time limit.
On the first planet (ice planet), you are slowly freezing to death and this chips away at you healthbar. You're supposed to find some item that lets you survive the cold, but I could never find it anywhere n omatter how hard I tried.
The combat is crap and your punches miss most of the time.

To recap:
You are losing health just by walking around, the enemies will make you lose even more health, you will get lost and die in one of the first screens. You will never get past the first level.

Not liking earthbound is one thing, and totally understandable. Listing it as the worst game you've ever played though is pretty obvious trolling. Or the person legitimately has just barely played any games at all. But the number of people who have only played a handful of titles with one of them being Earthbound are pretty rare.

Jesus, this is gonna be long.

Lets start with NES.

Friday the 13th. Even if you actually know what you need to do, this game just isn't fun. It's not fun moving around, it's not fun fighting enemies, it's not fun dealing with Jason. It just sucks. And playing as anyone other than Mark or Cindy is asking to get anally raped.

Wall Street Kid. I like sim games, but this one manages to suck all the fun out of it. Granted, there probably isn't much you can do with a Stock Market sim, but damn, this is probably one of the few games I regret beating just because of the time lost beating it.

Predator. I swear to god I always thought my copy was messed up. Then years later I saw a video of gameplay and realized "No, the levels WERE supposed to look that bad." The graphics are the high point of this game too.

Whoops, I gotta run. But before I go, I must say Return to Zork is easily one of the worst graphical adventures of all time. They give you an amazingly complex and detailed inventory and interaction setup, and then kill you everytime you don't do exactly as you were supposed to. What's that, you didn't know how to get the little plant on the first screen? Well, it will trap you with no escape in a few hours, don't worry about it. You didn't know you were supposed to show a certain picture to a certain character? Good luck figuring out why you can't leave the swamp! You got past all the BS and actually made it to the end? Better hope the game didn't glitch on you and not count one item, otherwise you'll have to start all over again!

Fuck Return to Zork.

NES Action 52.
This is the only game I can actually say I really hate from the bottom of my heart. I've played some games I don't like or wouldn't recommend to a friend.
But this piece of fucking shit almost made me stop playing video games at all when I tried to beat every 52 games in this collection. EVERYTHING is just horrible. Fucked up controls and gameplay, horrible graphics, bugs, ear piercing audio, GENERAL LACK OF PUTTING ANY EFFORT OR SKILL IN GAME MAKING.
If I was at gunpoint and had to say something nice about it, maybe SOME of the music was kind of okay. Seems someone at least tried. It almost feels like out of place. Like there's this fucking joke of an unplayable game, but the music is standard NES. It's weird.

Perfect example of this piece of shit is the game Non human. Unbelievably horrible control, lack of animation, ugly color scheme, you jump and you die in mid air, one level in the whole "game", atrocious gameplay. Everything is just WRONG and BAD.

I just wish this Action 52 was never made. I regret ever playing it. It's been two years and I still feel angry and bad.
