Forums - Gaming - Só bad its good games

Some movies are known for being so bad that they are actually good! Which game you know is so bad its good?

Depends on how much you pay for a game.

I don't think if someone spect 60 on a game that they would ever get the whimsy of a so bad it's good.

Haze for me on PS3 because my friend bought it and we played through co-op. But that may have been good because he was so pissed off and I thought it was hilarious :p



I don't think such a title exists. It's different for movies because you can have comedy originating from stupidity. A bad game is inherently bad. The only defense otherwise might be people trying to claim justification from buying a poor game and refusing to admit it, or the hardest of core fans of a series.

The only title which could fall into that catergory is World Championship Rugby for PS2, but two things are the issue here. It cost £0.05, and it wasn't the game but the people playing it who made it enjoyable. So, we basically paid 5 pence to laugh at how awful it was and enjoy each other's company in the process. Does that make the game any less "bad"? Well, that's up to how you define it. We had fun sure but that doesn't change the fact that the game itself wasn't "so bad it's good".



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I'm not sure how well it was received or anything but the game (people I know say it's bad) I think of is a 3D platformer on the N64 called Chameleon Twist. I know the controls aren't the best but I remember really liking it as a kid :-p



For me, at the time, it was Illbleed on Dreamcast.

What was that game on Xbox360 with the guy that kept talking to himself and the creepy town? It later got ported to PS3.

That game was supposed to be "so bad, it's good" but damn. I hated it. If I were home right now, I could tell you!



A movie that is bad can be good since the serious fail can make the movie a comedy. However, that doesn't really relate to video games. Dialogue may be funny to read, visuals may be funny to laugh at, but gameplay really cant be made funny. It's not like I laugh at bugs or lag or low frame rate. There may be glitches that can be fun to see and do, but glitches don't really make the core of a video game like dialogue does to a movie.

I guess if I had to give an example, I would say zero wing, aka "all your base are belong to us" but even then that is more the dialogue, not so much the game itself



THe last of us , in my opinion

Seeing that game in action just makes me crack.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Well to give an example, international super tar soccer 2 (or was it 3?). Granted it wasn't an unplayable piece of **** but some parts were just so badly designed. Free kicks were like penalties really, you scored about 80% of the time. Goal keepers could come off their lines, but once the were outside the box they would just dive over the ball. Also, it didn't seem to matter in which position players played. A striker seemed to do as well as a goalkeeper at that position and vice versa. Also, if you were suffereing a humiliation defeat, say losing 5-1  you could get a couple of red cards. The game would get suspended and you'd lose 2-0 which was hilarious the first time it happend. 

Fifa and PES were much much better games. But I still play ISS with a friend sometimes, because its flaws make it very fun.

Also, wasn't goat simulator pretty much made with this in mind?
