Blog:Grust's Top 10 Worst Games of All Time

As founder of this wiki we all knew this would have to be done. For this list, I need to have played the game.

The List
10. Final Fantasy XIII: Oh my God what a slap on the face for RPG fans. The Final Fantasy series is well known for delivering great RPG games for any fan of the genre. Final Fantasy X is even one of my top 5 favorite RPG games. The game was extremely linear and for the most part, I spent most of the game tapping A nonstop. There was almost no strategy and aside from Lightning, I've pretty much forgotten all the characters in the game. It's definitely the weakest of the franchise.

9. Beauty and the Beast: Roar of the Beast:  Disney's Beauty and the Beast is easily among the greatest animated films ever made and one of my favorite films. Therefore it deserved far better than this game. The hit detection is lousy and considering you have to be close to the enemy for your attack to hit, getting hurt is inevitable. The first level's mini-boss (a bear) has a randomized movement so strategy is impossible and you need to rely on luck instead. The level designs are also very repetitive (or maybe just the first level) so I had no idea how far I got in the game and when I first played this I thought the game was glitched.

8. Sonic the Hedgehog (2006): Heavily glitched, complicated story, possible bestiality, and it's clear that even after E.T., most game developers haven't learned that rushing a game is a bad idea. It's high on the list though because to be honest, the game is a guilty pleasure for me and I admit, I was able to follow the plot just fine and I even beat the game. However the second time was not as good as an experience and I haven't played it since (also I unplugged my 360 for my Switch).

7. Where's Waldo? (NES): I played this as a kid and even then I thought it sucked due to poor graphics, and nonsensical gameplay and extremely short game time. I have beaten this but felt nothing but emptiness inside me as a result. If you want a good Where's Waldo experience, get the books.

6. Hydlide: I am a huge RPG fan and decided to give this game a chance despite what the Nerd and Projared said. But I should have listened. The game is short but it was heavily padded out with immense grinding. Anytime you're hurt, you have to stand perfectly still to regenerate and even then it takes a long time. I have beaten this game, but the only feeling I got was, "Good it's over next." I will never doubt AVGN or Projared again.

5. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1:  This is hands down the second worst game I ever beaten. The best way to describe the game is that it feels more like a chore than a game. The game is very linear (I may like linear in old 2d games but not a 3D game), and at certain points you have to complete 3 side missions that MUST be done in order to progress and pad out the game further. I quit playing for months because of them alone. The spells are mostly pointless and spanned one spell throughout the game. Let's compare this game to the PS1 Sorcerser's Stone game. Only one spell was used for combat in the SS game while most others were used to progress through the game, solve puzzles, and find other goodies. Well, at least I never have to play Deathly Hallows Part 1 ever again.

4. Sonic Free Riders:  Behold the only game I've ever destroyed. I've only played the tutorial and it was so horrible I gave up and destroyed the game. The sad part is my older brother gave it to me for Christmas. This was before I became a more hardcore game collector so if I had another chance I'd just keep it in my closet. The achievement I got for the tutorial is the only achievement I ever got that I'm personally ASHAMED of. One good thing I can thing of is the opening song is good.

3. Superman (Nintendo 64):  I still remember the headaches this game gave me. Not much to say.

2. Plumbers Don't Wear Ties: You can actually play this on YouTube, not kidding, all you do is watch a slideshow and pick a choice that's it. There are some silly moments and one part did make me laugh but for the most part gameplay is nonexistent. Is it any wonder this was the FIRST article ever made for this wiki? If it weren't for my number 1 pick, it would be.

Before we get to number 1, some dishonorable mentions.


 * E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: To be honest I don't think it's the worst game I ever played. In fact considering it only got 5 and a half weeks to finish, it has a lot of content and variety than most games given a full 7 months. However it does make me wonder what we could have gotten if given 7 months.  We could have gotten the greatest movie game of all time maybe.  Oh well at least we got Aladdin for Sega Genesis.


 * Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric: I wish I could add this to the list but I've only played the demo and it was so boring and after seeing Sonic fanboys defending this made me finally quit being a Sonic fan.


 * Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest: I don't see this game as meant to be taking seriously and I could almost see it getting gamers ready for a serious RPG. Final Fantasy 13 was meant to be taken seriously which only made it much worse.

And my number 1 worse game is:

Oh come on you all know what it is. I've bashed it a quadrillion times.

Depression Quest: The games listed above have some kind of redeeming quality that keep it off the number 1 spot. Sonic 06 is a guilty pleasure, you can take into consideration the limitations of the NES for Where's Waldo?, Superman 64 had some variety, Sonic Free Riders had a good song, Final Fantasy 13 at least had some effort put into it and it's clear Square did try to make it good, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties did make me laugh, Hydlide did create the regeneration mechanic used in games today, Harry Potter at least respected the source material, and Beauty and the Beast: Roar of the Beast had some good graphics for its time. Depression Quest has NOTHING! No gameplay, horrible music, praised by SJWs, and the worst visuals in gaming history. I despise everything about this game and is why SJWs need to stay as far away from gaming as possible.
