Here's an idea: Make up an idea for a bad game, or perhaps a bad feature for a game, and post it here.
Rules:
* The game should actually be bad, preferably in a funny or ridiculous manner.
* Please don't discuss DRM in this topic; there are plenty of other topics for that discussion. Find other ways to make the game bad.
Anyway, I'll start:
Planescape: The Lady's Tale: In this game, you play as the Lady of Pain, in which you have to solve mysteries, defeat evil, and stay alive, as the denizens of Sigil can and will kill you if you're not prepared. Also, the city is being invaded. (Note that this game idea is only bad if you compare it to the Planescape lore.)
Now, for something gameplay related thing (consider this a different game):
* There's a stealth escort mission. In this part of the game, you have to escort someone from point A to point B.
* There are guards, and if one of them sees your escortee, it's a game over, and you have to reload from the last save point, and there's a long boss fight, followed by a long cutscene, in between that save point and this section.
* If your escortee sees a guard, they will run right toward the guard, trying to be spotted (and hence triggering a game over).
* Near the end of this section, there's an invisible (to you) guard that will get you on your first attempt that gets that far.
