evilbore votes: worst game of 2008

[drohne]

but 'playing' home is also probably a good sign that you're fat

[Himu]

Home has LINES

[cool breeze]

Not all nerds are obese, some are twigs suffering from malnutrition -- which Wii Fit could actually point out! (normally a task for a scale or mirror)

[demi]

Only one of you distinguished mentally-challenged fellows who voted for wii music has played it.
Thats fine, its too good for you. Go back to your fischer price instruments.

I've played it. Just doing what a hardcore gamer does.

even alone in the dark is better than mirror's edge

how's that Blob game for Wii? anyone here play it?

[dammitmattt]

All of you are fucking crazy.  There's more fun to be had in the Wii menus than all of Home.  And I detest almost everything about the Wii.

Home is just the absolute worst thing ever made.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Buy Blast Works dude
Unless shmups aren't your thing.

they aren't

went to the store, saw Blob and Boom Blox for €55 total. Then saw Metroid still at full price for €40. Doubted for a bit but then chose Metroid anyway since I was sure of its quality.

[Third]

Banjo and Too Human.

Didn't bother with the Wii crap.

[Kestastrophe]

Soooo many good candidates in this poll, so it was a tough decision for me. In the end I went with my instincts and voted for the praised turd that is MGS4. Probably one of the best games in the series, but let's face it: it's a turd in a series of turds (except for the first one which was legitimately good for its time).

Blast Works sucks donkey balls.  What a terrible, terrible game.  The gimmick is fun for about 5-10 minutes max.

[drohne]

that's harsh -- i'd say it's fun for fully 30 or 45 minutes, which makes it the third or fourth best game on wii. and you can unlock hideous 480p versions of kenta cho games

So have I.  That makes him even more wrong than he already is.

I've played with with friends before, I've played it alone, I've tried the 'bell' game.  Through all of various modes Wii Music has, there was no enjoyment (or purpose) to be found anywhere.

[TakingBackSunday]

Dude, its Home

home

[Akala]

If Sony had charged anything for home, I'd classify it as the worst. since they didn't, It's merely an embarrassment, and not as mean-spirited as the wii lineup.

Seriously, it's an affront to God.

[cool breeze]

upfront it may not have seemed like it charged anything, but it still cost Sony money to develop it, money that could have been spent on actual games.  I'd rather have Lair 2 than home.

I had fun for much longer. Like to this day.  And rrootage was a nice unlockable.

That just makes Home all the more insidious.

With the Wii games, they cost actual money and so real gamers logically avoid them. But Home is free and so people with a PS3 feel obligated to try it out because, hey, it's free.

Pure evil.

[patrickula]

[BobFromPikeCreek]

I put one down for Home.  It just fails in every conceivable way. At least shitty Wii games give us ntards which we can laugh at. Home is just sad.

[Oblivion]

Wait, I just noticed there's no LBP option.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

LBP isn't the worst game of 2008 but it certainly isn't anywhere near the best either.  IMO Spore and LBP are two of the biggest disappointments of 2008 - yes, even more so than GTA4.

[cool breeze]

GTA4 and Resistance 2 are the biggest disappointments of 2008 for me.  GTA4 wins out in the end because it went from a great series to shit, and Resistance 2 because it went from a mediocre shooter with some enjoyable parts to shit.  In both cases, game critics seemed to really like both games.  I just don't get it.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

I don't think GTA4 was/is as bad as everyone says it is.  Sure the game has a bunch of problems like the amount of scripting going on, the relationship BS, lack of side missions, etc. but I had a good time going through it the first time.  It sure as hell didn't deserve all the crazy reviews out there (Oscar worthy writing...lol) but the forum backlash is a little too much as well.

Charging $5 a month to own a club is all kinds of ridiculous!

What they're offering for free is like a demo of home, while the good stuff (lol) won't will be priced (furniture, clothings, apartments.. etc).

Is the $5 fee really monthly? I feel like it's one-time and I haven't heard real confirmation of this.

If GTA IV got 9.5's across the board, there wouldn't have been much forum backlash at all.

The fact that nearly every site gave the game a 10/10 plays a big part in why so many people hate it.

[littlemathletics]

GTA IV's worth 7.5 or 8 at the most.

[AdmiralViscen]

That shit is unacceptable, wtf. $3 a month for all XBL offers.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

If people bought a $400-600 machine, they could probably put down $5 for a club in Home.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

And do fucking nothing.  I mean what's the point of even having a club in Home anyway?  I really don't get it.   It's just another empty space where you can direct your dead eyed avatar into a salsa dance.

AA, what do you do in your Home club?

[Guybrush Threepwood]

GTA IV's worth 7.5 or 8 at the most.

I know, I was just saying.

[cool breeze]

GTA IV's worth 7.5 or 8 at the most.

I'd probably say in the 7 or C range if I had to rate it.  You also have to factor in that they went from perpetually making the games more fun to dive bombing with GTA4.  The change in direction made everything worse, like, literally everything.  I know you can't really compare a PS2 to a 360 game graphically, but I can still say that GTA4 looked like butt most of the time because apparently New York is stuck in a vaseline covered dusk 99% of the time.

[Guybrush Threepwood]

Yeah, I don't know what they were thinking when they decided to make GTA IV more realistic.

I don't think R* is dumb, though. I'm guessing they saw what actual gamers thought of GTA IV and the reason why they haven't released the DLC yet is that they turned off the dev kit for a few months and went to bed.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Most of these games dont belong on the list anyway.  I'm sure gtaIV and resistance 2 etc were just disappointing sequels that nevertheless retained some entertaining trappings of their respective genres.

What we really need is a game with shitty visuals, broken controls, mind numbing repetition, asinine dialouge, and was hyped to hell for arbitrary reasons.
No More Heroes is the worst game of 08 as a result by a landslide.
I'm still buying the sequel in '10 though :/

Yeah, I think 7.5 or 8 would be rather generous - I meant, really, at most that's what it should have received. Personally, I'd say 7. Saints Row 2's an 8.

R2 single player is not remotely entertaining. GTA4 is a grind to get through, I don't know hwo I beat it.

You're right though, NMH is almost as big a piece of shit as Wii Music.

[Hitler Stole My Potato]

There's not nearly enough MGS4 hate in this thread.

MGS4.  WGOTY.

[drohne]

maybe home gives sfags that sense that xfags constantly mention of 'being connected to the community' -- whatever that's supposed to mean

the community

being connected to it

[EmCeeGrammar]

Nah wii music is love.
I dont understand why people have anything good to say about NMH. I mean that, everything is wrong with it, how can it have a following? The only thing it had was potential, and I sat through the whole game trying to realise it. Never happened=

[cool breeze]

are you just playing up a joke like oblivion or are you sincere with your Wii Music thing?

and NMH isn't a bad game.  I think it would have been way better if they removed all the open world stuff and make it a straightforward arcade game.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

NMH's sandbox was far too sparse for it to be worth putting into the game.  Which is why I thought that a few extra months to make it seem more lively would have made it a better game.  I agree that it should have been a straightforward experience.  Which is why I think the sequel could be awesome if they made the game far more interactive than the original.

If true, Sony did a shit job, just like a lot of things they've done this gen.

I do like wii music, but I tend to crave negative attention and am guilty of illiciting its name to get a rise out of folks. Ill try and quit that. Still, I understand its not for some but its the exact thing I needed because gh/rb are excruciatingly boring.
NMH is almost objectivly awful though.  The pointless city was just one item on the list of suckitude.

[drohne]

you're also guilty of a homonym error

and if you corrected that homonym error you'd still be guilty of a solecism

[drohne]

and if you corrected that solecism you'd still be guilty of being a ninthing

and if you stopped being a ninthing you'd still be guilty of having asperger's

and if you found a cure for your asperger's you'd still be guilty of something else i suppose

so on to original sin

[Oblivion]

are you just playing up a joke like oblivion or are you sincere with your Wii Music thing?

Wait, when did I defend Wii Music? I haven't even played it.

Though I do think it's a legitimate GotY contender.

Autism can't be cured silly. And I'm guessing you're saying I'm making excuses, which is bullshit because I spent 2007-2008 trying to make friends, hanging out, reading up on social graces, and spending my stimulus check on a therapist and Im still where I started when I was being the awkward fuckwit of gradeschool. So please, dont assume shit.

Oh wait thats right you liked NMH. And metroid is better than super metroid because the  names of areas sound more alien!

[Van Cruncheon]

the asspie-ninthing connection merits further examination

i like my theory that asspies need their hobby thoroughly sanitized and compartmentalized, and only nintendo's games are bland and unambitious enough to appeal to them

[EmCeeGrammar]

.

[EmCeeGrammar]

Its more like their instantly marketable and recognizable characters are an easy point of fixation for the obsessive traits of asd. Although the genesis was my first system.

And I would disagree about "unambitious".  Once you participate in online pokemon battlers and discover the metagame underneath, Pokemon its like a fucking deathtrap for obsessives.
