No opinions allowed huh? What is this a totalitarian thread? If you want to list the worst of the worst, look up all those same-old top ten lists every site known to man puts up for traffic. or watch AVGN.

Quick question: would you honestly rather play a game like Ninjabread man or Aquaman: Battle for Atlantis than play Other M?

• Games made by UFO
• Games that are not made by Nintendo, Naughty Dog or Sega.

Well, I don't know any firework displays that aren't fun, so put that on the list of Worst Firework Displays of all Time.
Who wants to make the topic for that list?

You just said all games by Atlus are among the worst games ever made.

Wut

Don't worry about it. It's just a comment on how bad it is.
Also, yeah, even as a fireworks display it sucks. "Hey, want that certain firework? Pay up, bub! Oh wait, that wasn't the one you wanted? Too bad" And then, there's "oh, it ended sooner than you wanted to? Well, you can wait 3 minutes for a single firework to show, or you could pay up to see the display finish more quickly".

Yes, anything to erase the still-tainting memories of playing Other M. I'd even play Plumbers Don't Wear Ties. At least its a bad game you can laugh at and have fun with.

On Metroid: Other M, it's not objectively bad (at least according to critics). It may be the black sheep/worst game in the series but it's not bad by all-game standards.

Think of Yellow Submarine by The Beatles or Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star by Sonic Youth or the worst album by any artist.
It's the worst by the band, many fans hate it, but by music critic standards it's not burning ears.

Going back to the music standard, I say no inclusion of COD before it's said for the same reasons you wouldn't include any modern popstars.

If we're comparing Other M to modern Popstars, I can now sympathize with Austroid.

No, I'm comparing COD to modern popstars. Loads of hate, almost equal to the fans, but almost none are ear-blisteringly awful, more like "Incredibly bland and repetitive" except with music it gets annoying faster.

Take your favorite musician or band, take the black sheep album, and compare Other M to that.

This game and just about every other game on the Game.com (although I have heard good thing about Monopoly and a few others). But this one is the worst out of the very I have played so far.

Last time I checked, Other M was classified as bad by the general gaming community. It's a little too obvious.

General gaming community? No, more like Metroid fanboys, and even so not all of them.

The general critical consensus is around 79%. That's not "awful". And a lot of bad reviews were bitching about the story or "sexism".

It has fans as well, and I don't think anyone besides you and that other guy actually considers it to be among the worst games of all time. :/

Gaming critics are not the general gaming community. Gamers are and there's a lot of them. Go on a neutral gaming forum ( IGN, GameFaqs, GameTrailers), and ask their personal opinion of Other M. The majority will answer in the obvious direction.

You're right, we're alone. It's also one of the most disappointing games of all time, too.

My thoughts (take them for what they're worth):
1. For what the OP defined as eligible to be the worst games of all time, Other M doesn't fit the criteria. As Austroid said, it split the gaming community; it was polarizing, not universally hated.
2. The OP's definition of what games are eligible to be the worst games of all time is boring.
3. Whoever said UFO's games should be here, you are very, very right.
4. Tyson, I want to make a topic for that list.

Okay. So it's like Sawdust by the Killers? A half-@$$ed collection of B-sides with Two good songs, a bunch of boring-but-still-listenable songs, and at least one song I have to skip everytime it comes up because its insufferable? ...Yeah, I guess that fits the bill. Still nowhere near the worst album, I'm glad I bought it, but I kinda wish they had more like the two good songs.

Most responses will come from Metroid fanboys. Other people won't bother to comment or haven't played the game. The haters are always the most vocal.

Looking at the game alone (imagine the characters were replaced) then all people would complain about is the story (a la Resident Evil: Revelations or any other great game with a terrible story). Most haters only comment "ZOMG IT ROOINED SAMUS AS A CHARACTER SHES SUPPOSED TO BE A STRONG INDEPENDENT WIMMINZ NOT SUM WHINY BIMBO" when she was nearly mute throughout the rest of the series.

Not everyone who played Metroid Other M is a "Metroid fanboy". A lot of people who are not fans have played the game and can provide a valid opinion. Explore the internet.

Also, no one talks like that. So stop pretending like they do.
