Decline The Worst CRPG Ever?

[felipepepe]

Been a while since we last did this, so let's try again.

I'm being subjective here, of course there are objectively worst RPGs - Metal Heart: Replicant's Rampage, Gorasul, Neverend, Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace, Space Hack, etc... - but you're not a really bad game if you didn't fool hordes of people into playing.

Ultima IX simply for its pedigree and how far it had fallen from its peak in U7 is contender, but I voted PoR for the simple fact that it could uninstall your system files.

I still display the game box on my bookcase (only box I have held on to over the years) as a reminder of the tragic effects of riding the hype train.

No oblivion/skyrim with guns?

Eh, would derail the entire voting. And those games suck for us, the devs & fanboys are quite happy with what they got. The ones I listed NO ONE walked away from unfazed.

Missing sword coast legends.

Meh, at least that would save you from playing it. Ultima IX gets my vote, as it would if the poll title was 'worst thing ever'. It's scarred me beyond any hope of salvation.

Where's Pillars of Eternity?

Heh, well, in that case my vote goes to descent. Just painful

 

[Bruma Hobo]

Where's Undertale?

 

[veevoir]

Options missing everywhere!

Anyways, from this choice one is clear - M&M for definately, completely and utterly killing the blobber franchise I loved.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Played none of those.
Actually most RPGs I played were not total shit, but if I'd have to name one it would probably be Dragon Age: Inquisition. Which of course bears no objectivity, since it's not totally broken, has pretty nice graphics and world etc. But it's the one game that filled me with mopst rage and disgust.

Dungeon Siege 3.

Edit: also can't miss a moment to post this gem,

Neither of these two were too bad; certainly better than Shiternity.

 

[Lhynn]

Wow descent undermountain is that bad? i always thought id give it a try but now im scared.

 

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

certainly better than Shiternity.

Except that one guy from the Ultima Codex who defends Ultima IX every other day. Really funny whenever that place gets brought up.

I see a lot of votes for "Gothic IV" (I think they actually changed the title on steam to just Arcania), which makes sense. I'm guessing more people in the Codex has played Gothic and still remember the fall from grace like it was yesterday. Still went for IX, though.

Funny enough both games have a predecessor that isn't usually well liked either. Namely Ultima VIII and Gothic 3.

I think Gothic 3 is obscenely underrated. At least when played with unofficial patches.
It's atmosphere is great again, as is the setting, world and general vision. Also it has the bestest soundtrack of any game ever probably.
Unfortunately it was too bugged, and it certainly is no Gothic / Gothic 2 anymore.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Might & Magic 9 is at least better than most of those games. Arcania isn't called Arcania: Gothic 4 anymore, they dropped the Gothic part once PB got the rights back to the franchise. Going back on topic, most of those games suck ass because they are rushed and/or buggy. Arcania was neither rushed nor was it particularly buggy, but it was still one of the most miserable games I ever played purely based on its design choices. That's why I can say without a doubt that Arcania is one of the worst games that I've played.

Not even close to any of these. Pools of Radiance deleted my hard drive twice and it's not even as bad as some of the shit I've played. Did you people ever browse Home of the Underdogs back in the day and indiscriminately download any RPG you could find? Because that's what I did and there is just some absolute irredeemable shit out there that is far, far worse than anything on this list. There was nothing good about The Red Crystal: The Seven Secrets of Life. Bad Blood is another awful game. I made a topic about the worst game I've ever played, The Holy Sword The Ring. So yeah, none of these games can even compete, not even the Blade of Destiny remake.

 

[AMG]

Kingdoms of Banalur and Two Worlds probably deserve a nomination. Definately two worst games I was tricked into trying out. The latter I think I even got quite far into, seriously what the fuck was I doing? Must have been really bored.

Yes. Worse still, I was on dial-up at the time. Oh, those were the days...

 

[Deleted member 7219]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Wizardry 8 are probably the worst I've played.

Oblivion because of how disappointing it was, especially compared to Morrowind, yet the gaming media called it one of the best RPGs ever made.

Fallout 4 because everything in it, absolutely everything, was complete and utter shite.

DA: Inquisition because it showed how far BioWare have fallen, and I think there's still further they can plummet. I'm terrified at the thought.

Wizardry 8 because I can't see anything good in it. I wouldn't actively hate it if it wasn't held up by some people here as one of the best RPGs ever.

Arcania was pretty bad too.

 

[MasterSmithFandango]

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, Fallout 4, Wizardry 8 are probably the three worst I've played.

Ban this fucking retard already.
