Yeah, that was great.

@Krimabize's quote is from a video I believe. Describes this thread's 'going nowhere fast' to some extent at least.

Uh yeah. It's a quote from Billy Madison...one of the best/worst movies of all time, fittingly enough

Just wanted to add some levity to the proceedings.

Fireplacing is supposed to be terrible. A virtual fireplace app?

I wanted to say Other M but it's not elligible for worst game of all time in this forum

Everything that ever got a 1/10 on this website. Chicken Brutus could produce and endless list of terrible games.

Unfortunately, it's not. But it sure belongs in the Your Least Favorite Games thread!

Damn you people love to hate on Other M. Unlike most people, I try not to look at games with a critical standpoint and just try to enjoy them. When games do have faults, I try to look past them and enjoy what is underneath, although some games are just bad.
Looking at Other M, you people seriously classify it as a "bad game"? Yes, it did have sub-par storytelling and a soundtrack that didn't hold up to other games in the series, but when you look past that and just enjoy the game, it was pretty fun.
Just because a game has certain faults or fails your expectations does not make it one if the worst games ever.

On topic, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is an atrocious mess that no one should ever have to play. That being said, you really need to play it to understand how terrible it is.

Well said.

I agree with Pancakes to the extent that he is delicious with syrup looking so critically at a game is kind of a waste of energy. I know people who love to look at games through a microscope and expose every single flaw a game has. They are the most boring people I have ever met. There's no need to focus on every little flaw of a game. Not saying you have to love every game, but if there's some fun to be had may as well try to enjoy it for that. If there's not, then just get rid of it, maybe give it to someone else who'd like it, sell it, or whatever, and move on. Focusing one's energy on hating a game won't solve anything. It won't get your time back. It won't erase your memories of the game. All it will do is keep you as frustrated when you're no longer playing the game as you were when you were playing it. Might as well put your energies towards something useful, including, but not limited to, playing a game you're more likely to enjoy.

Just some advice for those having trouble letting go. I know I was among them at one point. I'm only speaking from experience.

P.S. This doesn't apply to reviewers, whose job it is to be critical, but I don't think anyone posting in this thread is a reviewer, so yeah.

I never did say I thought it was universally hated. Universally's definition is "affecting the entire world or all within the world; worldwide." Which Other M did do in a way, it polarizied Metroid fans into two opposing sides, which is something thats never happened to the fanbase itself before. More power to you if you became a fan after playing it, I just can't fathom how Other M could be the game that gripped you though.

I did try to enjoy it, I tried to accept it days after beating it. I couldn't and I never will. Its a mockery of a classic franchise that was injected with too much negatives and buried the handful of positives under a pile of garbage. Do I need to point out that literally every new Metroid entry 1uped itself? Or that each game added more to it than the last? Other M was a huge step backward. Again I have to point out that something being one of the "worst games" is a matter of opinion, not whether or not its playable, or shovelware.

I recall some fans being polerized over Metroid Fusion before Other M came out. Just saying.

Flashlight, the game you can do the same by turning up the screen brightness.

Thats also another thing I can't believe regarding Other M. Its literally Fusion being retold, but taking place before it in the timeline. Both take place on an abandoned reseach station, both involve Samus's relationship with Adam/A.D.A.M., both have Nightmare as a boss and a Ridley reincarnation, both have the "shocking" discovery that Metroids are being created in secret at the research station.

When you put them in chronological order it looks like a terible reharsh, kind of like when George Lucas added all the memorable scenes from the OT into the Prequels, except it looked like he was just being lazy and decided to make it like a "history repeats itself" sort of thing.

Wow, I left this for one day and there's now 10 pages? 0_o How'd that happen? And remember: this isn't just listing bad games (you could go to Wikipedia for that), it's discussing bad games.
