When did you realize that games could acutally be bad?

I actually thought Legend of Kyrandia was decent. Also when you mention Legend of Kain are you talking about Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain because that was pretty good, Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver was decent as well.

One of the first bad games I played that really stood out was Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Heroes of the Lance. I was a big Dragonlance fan so I couldn't wait for the game to come out (I waited eagerly in anticipation for months). When I finally got the game home and started playing I got upset at how bad it was and actually said "What is this shit?!?". It was a pretty big letdown.

Another would have to be Ghostbusters 2. I really enjoyed the first Ghostbusters game and was extremely disappointed by the second game that was just complete crap, I was also disappointed by the second Ghostbusters movie as well.

I think the reason I Legend of Kyrandia sticks out in my head is because I could never play more than the first chapter or so because the game always crashed. I'll just replace it with Heretic. As for Legacy of Kain, I think it was Blood Omen and I just didn't like the game. My parents got it for me for Christmas and I just hated it.

I never played Ghostbusters II, but I remember playing Ghostbusters on the NES and loved it even though I didn't know what was going on. I played that game a few months ago and that game is one of the biggest piles of crap I've ever played.

The only fantasy book game I got to play as a kid was one of the Deathgate games. It was cool but I'm sure if I played it today it would suck. I actually loved Dragonlance too though I'm sure if my parents ever figured out it was based on DnD they would have burned those books. I still remember the day they found out my sister played DnD, they almost disowned her. If only they knew I got my job partly because of DnD. :-p

 Why so much hate for the D&D (Dungeons & Dragons, I presume?)
