LOKI, the action rpg diablo style, worst game ever

Couldn't agree more. Loki was probably the last Diablo-style game I've tried out of the lot, and it's amongst the worst games I ever played. Nothing in it works as it should and overall it's awful and boring as hell. Not exactly a disappointment mostly because everywhere I read about it said that the game was awful so I tried it out of my own volition.

Leisure Suit Larry: Box office Bust. and dear God help me i have two copies of that wretched game that I can't get rid of.
I don't get all the LA Noire hate, there are far more disappointing games out there, surely?

Ultimate Spider-Man let me down, too. It featured a great story and gorgeous graphics but the game was broken. It was basically racing across town for no reason with too many instant deaths if you make a slight wrong turn or fighting frustrating bosses. I hated that game.

I agree.  And the game had so much potential.

The Legend of Zelda: Skyword Sword



oh ocarina, why does everyone think you're awesome? you're good, don't get me wrong, but you're not half as good as people keep insisting you are.

It's always fun to see people complain about newer Zeldas like skyward Sword, Twilight Princess, or even Wind Waker, but the truth is that all of those games are objectively better by a long shot, and I'm not talking about graphics (though that's also true.) No, all of these games had better design and gameplay. Ocarina was good, I do need to reiterate that point, but it's not the epitome of greatness, there were too many flaws in the game to come anywhere close to 'best ever'; hell, it's been beaten by like 4 iterations of its own series! Link to the Past did everything first (and better, in many ways), Wind Waker had a much better story, controls, and combat, Twilight PRincess had everything Ocarina did but did it much better, smoother, and with much more variety (not to mention the midna/wolf link scenes were pretty cool). I haven't gotten around to playing Skyward Sword yet, as my wii is not here at the moment, but from what I understand the only thing that's even remotely contentious is its control scheme.

Ocarina of Time is mediocre, guys, your nostalgia is blinding you.

aaaaahha, no.  It was't even the greatest game of its time, let alone of all time.  It wasn't impressive from a grapical standpoint (N64 Jaggies are atrocious to look at compare to some of the better sprite work on the SNES), it wasnt impressive from a content standpoint (Link to the past had more weapons, more dungeons, and more locations), it wasn't impressive from a design standpoint (too many issues with the games conveyance), and the controls were clunky and stiff.  Sure, it had hardware limitations to work with, so it's understandable, but it's still more than enough to make it a hell of a disappointing game, especially in a world where it's considered hands-down the greatest. 

Hell, I think Final Fantasy VII is overrated as shit, but it's still better than Ocarina.
