What bad video game do you love playing

I'm a big fan of kusoge and janky B-games, so here are some of my faves (in no particular order).

Wrestling Empire by mad genius MDickie, is somehow simultaneously the best and the worst wrestling game ever made. The scope of its simulation is amazing, but to say it's "janky" severely understates the matter. It's jank piled upon jank piled upon jank until the sheer jankitational forces cause it to compress into a semispeherical game-like object.

Bullet Witch is basically Bayonetta's older sister, who got dropped on her head as a baby. Terrible voice acting and ridiculous physics turn it into a hilarious tryhard grimdark cartoon.

Dynasty Warriors 9 is rightfully despised by DW fans, but it's such an utter mess that it's almost endlessly entertaining as possibly the worst open-world game ever made. Just as one example, the animal-spawning routine doesn't take terrain into consideration, so if you go swimming in a lake, herds of confused deer will be swimming with you.

Necromunda Hired Gun really toes the line between "bad game" and "good B-game" but it's worth mentioning because the gameplay is awesome cracked-out psychotic fun even if just about everything else is mediocre at best.

Age of Barbarian is a loving tribute to awful 70s-80s low fantasy movies, done with tongue in cheek. So it's only fitting that it plays like a bad Amiga platformer with maze-like level design and super-clunky controls.

Harvester is perhaps the pinnacle of awful 90s FMV adventure games, and should particularly appeal to people who like Deadly Premonition since it shares a similar quirky Twin Peaks-inspired tone. Don't even bother trying to play it without a walkthrough.

Rogue Warrior is a thoroughly mediocre (although not unplayable) FPS elevated by some of the worst dialogue to ever grace a shooter. Your MC is constantly swearing like a tryhard edgy tween in multiplayer, and it's hilarious. Like "Fuck you, you fucking terrorist asshole motherfucker!!!!" level nonsense.

Also, while I just started playing it a couple days ago, I'm reasonably certain that Earth Defense Force 5 is going to be in my top five good-bad games. I'm loving it. It's a gloriously campy throwback to bad mil-SF alien invasion movies, about Earth being taken over by flying saucers dropping giant bugs.

Call of duty? But I think it just went to bad

I absolutely loved Tactical Intervention, it was absolutely terrible, but I couldn’t stop laughing as I played it. I desperately wish they didn’t shut it down.

Rogue Warrior

The game is ass but fucking hell the main character is ridiculous. Such a bulky, macho dude with the mental capacity of your average 13 year old Xbox live user that it comes back around to being fun just to hear him talk.

Streets of Sim City was a vehicular combat game with the added gimmick of using Sim City 2000 maps. It came out in the era of vehicular combat games, and the only thing setting it apart was the Sim City gimmick. The game was riddled with bugs. It would often crash because the AI drove into a building or something. Some of the standalone missions were impossible. The stories were nonsensical, yet really campy and funny at times.

Delightful game. Played it for hours and hours.

Final fantasy 15

It is a mediocre game at best in almost every aspect. Story is meh at best, insultingly bad at worst. Gameplay is so simple a toddler could beat the game easily. Only redeeming part is the cast, which is excellent outside of a few examples...

So yeah it's one of my favorite games of all time

Phantasmagoria. Its an old 90s point and click adventure horror game. I remember it had like 5 or 6 discs. The scenes were made with live action photos and video and the acting was pretty bad. I remember it being so unique at the time compared to things like Mario and sonic.

I am adamant that the Earth Defence Force was so bad it's good.

It's been a long time, and I don't remember the one I played, but once I found out there were more to the series after it (I don't remember if I played EDF 2017 or 2025 first) then I laughed for a few minutes straight, because for as much as I enjoyed the game it was a mindless space-bug shooter game in a flat world with tall but destructible buildings and terrible graphics, and I couldn't see how enough people could enjoy it for it to keep going but one was released like last year or something so it's still going and I kinda love that.

Muck

If you have 3 friends and want to mess around with them muck is actually kinds fun bc of how bad and stupidly difficult it gets at later night, and it's free

tomb raider the angel of darkness. very well known for its horrible controls but personally i love it ! makes for some funny moments, tbh. once you play it enough the controls really are not that bad it just takes some adjusting

[–] RySundae@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

WWF on No Mercy, the janky as hell but part of the charm. I love it so much.

Surprised no one said Lethal Company. Really fun with friends/lobby of people with mics, but the game itself is pretty bad.

Janky clunky controls Bad graphics and animations Every map is basically the same No real lore/story Full of bugs Repetitive gameplay loop God awful lobby system

Honestly the proximity chat is hard carrying the game. Lol

"Super Bunny Man" (couch coop) is probably the biggest trash I have every played with my wife, but both our tummies hurt from all the laughing. We just had a great time and tears in our eyes.

Final Fantasy 13-2. The plot is overwhelming stupid, JRPG trash and the protagonists are almost comically dense but the gameplay is fun.
