Dio Brando 5,810 Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) While 2014 was a much better year than 2013 in terms of the good games we got,there are still some stinkers that will surely ruin a good track record.So here are the worst 5 games I've played in 2014 4 I played this game with my brother on his Xbox One and I was one of those who got tricked by the 2012 trailer that hyped the shit out of this game.But the overall experience was a disappointment from beginning to end.The game is your run of the mill sandbox game with nothing you haven't seen before.It's literally just Grand Theft Auto but with hacking.....that's it.Sure it might not be that bad compared to another Ubisoft game that came out later this year but I wasn't happy with my experience 3 My brother rented the game for about a week,he was a huge Assassin's Creed fan ever since he played AC Brotherhood and he's been keeping up with the series ever since,he was disappointed by AC3 and 4 so I pretty much told him to rent AC Unity before he rushes to pay full price for it.And sure enough after our experience with the game he returned it by the time of the weekend.I won't delve deep into this but let's say all those bugs and glitches you saw on youtube?Each one of them happened to us and the game even crashed twice.Sure most of the bugs got fixed later with the updates but that was too late,we got burnt badly enough and the bad taste was cemented in our mouths. And even without the bugs,the game isn't that impressive in terms of story-telling or Gameplay heck I think AC4 Black Flag was a better game. (Note:I'm not targeting anyone here so don't edit my post,this is my legit experience with the game) 2 I'm sure you heard me ranting about this game all year so I won't be even more redundant and I'll just leave a link to my review of it http://kh13.com/forum/topic/71128-metal-snake-reviewslightning-returns-final-fantasy-xiii/ And the number 1 worst game for 2014 for me is......................................... Have you ever encountered a game from a series you loved that not only it's so bad it rivals your previous most hated game(in my case....Sonic 06) but somehow managed to make you jump ship and quit the franchise all together? That's Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric in a nutshell I'm just amazed by how Sega keep firetrucking this franchise up everytime.No matter what team they get to make their games:Sonic Team,Dimps and in Sonic Boom's case:BigRedButton.They just can never seem to even attempt to listen to Q&A testers or have any sort of quality control when it comes to their mascot. Even when they came very close to redemption with awesome games like Sonic Colors and Sonic Generations they just couldn't keep that good track record going can they? This is not just a bad Sonic game oh no,this is one of the worst platformers even made heck even as a licensed cartoon tie-in it's not even close to being good when compared to the infinitely better cartoon. This game is unbelievably bad on almost every aspect. It's riddled with bugs and glitches that to this day has never been fixed,you phase through the floor multiple times,the game crashes randomly,lots of framerate drops and outright stuttering when going from area to area,graphics that look like a Ps2 game despite being released in 2014 in a year where games with fantastic graphics like Mario Kart 8,Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze,Super Smash Bros for Wii U and Bayonetta 2 has already come out on the Wii U,this is just insulting.On top of all of this there is the absolutely boring and uninspired gameplay that you see in generic licensed games from 2 generations ago heck even some other licensed games like Spongebob Battle for Bikini Bottom and the Ps2GameCube Ninja Turtles game(based on the 2003's cartoon) are much more fun than Sonic Boom.Even the speed sections where you'd hope you can go fast like what you do in a Sonic game it's just automated sections that requires little to no input from the player aside from tilting left and right. I can go on and on and on about how much I hate this game but I'll save that for a later rant when I have time.This was the game that made me say f**k it I won't buy a new Sonic game ever again.I can only endure so much mediocrity before I lose my patiencetolerance and say enough is enough.No matter what team handles Sonic,as long as he's under the control of Sega and their incompetence he just won't progress,not without some serious quality control Edited December 24, 2014 by Smash Mega Koopa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sora'sMum 352 Posted December 24, 2014 In the case of Watch Dogs, I think disappointing is a more appropriate word than bad. It just didn't live up to all the hype it got. I played a whole like 2 hours of Lightning Returns before I never opened the box again. That's all that needs to be said for that. Didn't play the other two, so can't comment on those. 1 Pingutino reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 2,990 Posted December 24, 2014 *sees you mention SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle For Bikini Bottom* Oh heck yeah, I still think that's a great game. Honestly, it's so underrated. 1 Dio Brando reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
