star ocean: the last hope.

i tried to like it but the characters got worse and worse, the combat was boring, the dungeons reptitive and when giant fluffy pink bunnys started appearing i just quit.

Beyond the Beyond was a nightmare



Dragon Age 2

Some of the areas on that game look like they were built using Sims 2 creation tools

Final Fantasy XIII, just so many things wrong with this title, then FFX for many of the same reasons.

I've played other BAD RPGs I knew they were bad but my experiences with them were actually not that negative, played, beat, and then forgotten. Guess the best example of this was DBZ Attack of the Sayians, a very basic RPG, even kills off a lot of your party you worked hard on building up, but I liked the battle mechanics and the areas were drawn really well, it just felt like half the RPG it should have been but even then I can remember more things I enjoyed about it... a very low budget DS RPG than FFX or XIII.

I can understand ff XIII BUT final fantasy X.  Final fantasy X is one of the best final fantasy titles out there.


As I said for many of the same reasons.  Unlikable characters, terrible story, terrible voice acting (FFXIII is actually a bit better here), just a really bad script overall, the likable characters much like FF8 are dangled in front of you but you never actually really get involved with (meaning Ject, Auron,  and Braska... you only play Auron after he's had his character progression thus wasting a huge opprotunity with the one likeable main team crew), the game is also very linear, the sphere grid is annoying especially when you want unique characters, everyone is ultimately the same except for some equips and Yuna can summon, unneeded cut scenes while also making the characters a totally different ethnicity for whatever reason... and the only thing really better than FFXIII was the battle system...

Whomever said Grandstream Saga, shouldn't be allowed to call himself a gamer :cries:...

j/k, the game did have a huge amount of flaws, but I still loved it to pieces .

Oh well, my worst RPG experience of all time is probably a tie between Grandia Xtreme and Lagoon (Snes). The amount of shitiness between both would discourage any brave soul from ever playing a RPG again if played in sucession

Dark Souls PVP in Darkroot Garden against ganking lagstabbing despicable dishonorable japanese ****s !!! This is just one experience in the game, it doesn't mean i don't like the game. Dark Souls is my 2011 GOTY

I apologies in advance if I killed you, but yea I do think backstabbing in the game was a bit overpowered thats why I only enjoy facing a player face-to-face to the battle to the death.



 

Bet with gooch_destroyer, he wins if FFX and FFX-2 will be at $40 each for the vita. I win if it dont

Same with a lot of others. Unlimited saga was the absolute worst, then practically every western developed RPG, then Final Fantasy 13 and 13-2. Last two games were a little too "Disney," and didn't have depth like Kingdom Hearts.

I somehow got my hands on Deadly Towers for the Nes. I tried to like that game but it was just horrible. I didn't really know the difference between good and bad games at the time. This game changed that.

You poor bastard. I know your pain. I was just a kid and I thought the box art was cool.

 

I was fortunate enough to never play this game, though I did play a lot of stinkers on the NES, at least most of them were ones that my friends owned. My brother and I only got about 3-4 games for our NES a year, since we had to buy them ourselves. It took us a long time to save up for them.

As for the amount of people who say FF XIII is their worst RPG experience, that really surprised me. I also did not like FF XIII, the game is visually linier, they could have at least hidden how lineir it was by making the road curve a little. And the story was uninteresting and convoluted, at least up to the point I stopped playing 10 hours in. But the combat system was really good and the art design wasn't bad. So the question I have, is it that you haven't played very many bad RPGs, or was it that this game so undelivered to the hype that was built up that it caused the game to be your worst RPG experience?

I'm not sure why. I've been playing RPGs since I snagged Dragon Warrior 1 with my Nintendo Power subscription. FFXIII was terrible. You had to like the battle system or the game had no redeeming value. I didn't think the battle system was terrible but it wasn't great either. So that combined with a terrible story, and two of the most awful characters this side of Emil Castagnier, and I got my worst JRPG experience of this generation. The said thing is I didn't have high expectations for the game and it still missed the low bar I set for it by a mile. Somebody steal Chrono's time machine and get us mid 90s Squaresoft....please.


Yeah, Oerba Dia Vanille was bad and the voice her English voice actor gave her drove me up a wall.


Yeah her and Hope were just plain awful.

Vanille and Hope make me rage. They could have just not had those two characters and I'm sure the game would be at least slightly decent. I can't even play FF13-2 because Noel is seriously the worst character ever spawned. Someday I will.

Also, it looks like a lot of people dislike Unlimited Saga as much as me, I don't feel alone anymore.

Those two characters actually made me miss the time that JRPGs didn't have voice acting. I also felt the same way about the two kids in Lost Odyssey, though they weren't quite as bad. I wonder how much voice acting would have taken away from FFIV, FFVI, and FFVII.



i thought most people had the good sense to stay away from Quest 64, it looked good. But the reviews in general were terrible

I think a lot of people were just craving for an RPG on the N64.
