dreadcog: Grim Fandango, so many bugs I stopped playing it mid game.

Now you are the one in double trouble.

LOL, better then having trouble with tribbles.

cogadh: Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, it is so universally panned, I just have to try it out.

I fourth it.

On the realm of terrible hilarious games: Carmageddon. Not a terribly good game in the classic sense, but was quite amusing in a sick way.

Aliasalpha: Well yes that game is pretty bad but if memory serves they had the traditional reduced development time AND they made the cardinal error of switching to the brand new & shiny D&D 3rd edition halfway though the development so a lot of the time they COULD have spent making the game good was instead diverted into making the game 3rd edition

There was also the bad third-party installation program that would only install to C:, and for some people it uninstalled system files when they tried to uninstall the game.
I must admit, a site named HOG selling games that are real pigs has a certain rightness to it.

I'm sorry. I really am.

Blarg: 3. Daggerfall -- Terrible graphics even for its day, ridiculously slow, and incredibly buggy.

And made of CRPG win.

I disagree, after spending 6 months playing it. Spending hours exploring the villages and dungeons. I've never played a better RPG, Gothic comes in as a close second. The only people that don't like it are the action rpg junkies.

Skystrider: Tekwar. It was a mediocre- to-barely-passable build-engine shooter until I got to the Matrix, and then it was flat out terrible!
The free-roaming cityscapes were kind of fun though, the first ten minutes.

cogadh: Waitaminit... TekWar... as in the William Shatner books and mythically bad TV show? They made a game out of it too!? Okay, I might have to revise my "Big Rigs" vote, I really want to see this game instead!

Only one reason to play it is that anything involved with William Shatner will be comedy gold, in example, Star Trek V. How could you not love a movie where his ego was big enough to kill god?

Oh TekWar!! Man, what I wouldn't do to have the memories of me playing that game edited out of my brain. That game damn near made Daikatana look good ....

I played it when it first came out and all my comments applied. It was horribly buggy. If it's fixed now, swell.

Probably never will be, you have to learn to live with the bugs. There's not that many and I hate bugs. With a game this huge it shouldn't work at all but it does and it does it well.

Wow. Way to stereotype there. Why don't you just say "I liked it, therefore anybody that doesn't is a dumb stupid poopy head" ? :p
I also didn't like Daggerfall. It felt randomly generated (as much of it was), and I just couldn't get into it. Tried it for a couple of hours (which I think involved a large stack of floppy disks to get it loaded), and said "wow, this sucks".
I also didn't like Gothic. The story , the way the character is given choices as far as which faction to join, and the sense of consequence to your actions were all good. But the controls are AWFUL. Some awful controls can be adapted to over time, Gothic's controls I never got comfortable with, and would sometimes get my character killed because of it. So I shelved that one as "nice effort, bloody terrible controls."

Wow, I guess you like creating drama. There are different types of rpg players. Feel free to lump them all into one catagory that's cool.

It wasn't dividing a category that I considered stereotyping. It was your use of the word "only". "The only people that don't like it are action rpg junkies." Therefore you are implying that anyone who doesn't like it must be an action rpg junkie. Which is obviously not true, as there are at least two of us here that don't fit that stereotype.

Well you must be since your obviously offended by that statement. Next you'll be forming a anti-action rpg movement that claims no ties to action rpg so I guess I better apologise now. I'm sorry I offended you.
