Friday Poll #021 - Worst Game Group E
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2021 9:18 pm
Welcome to the SFDebris Worst Game Poll. This summer we will be working through a series of polls to determine the worst game ever. The rules are as follows:
1) We will be working through five groups of games, grouped in chronological order. The "winners" of these polls will advance to the finals.
2) After the first round, the five groups will be shuffled together, to form new groups, and the "winners" of these polls will round out the finals.
3) During the finals, the poll will be to determine the best game of the remaining. After eliminating 9 other games, the Worst Game Ever will be selected.
4) I don't vote, but do break ties.
Descriptions
The Town with No Name (1992)
The Space Adventure (1995)
The audio balance is screwed up to the point where it is difficult to hear the voice acting even when there is no other sound playing. There are literally options that the main character refuses to do, to the point where there are situations where you are presented with multiple options, but are only allowed to do one of them. The moments of drama are at best comical. There's a ridiculous amount of skin on display for no reason. Whenever you die, you are immediately brought back to make a different choice.
Hong Kong 97 (1995)
The Mystery of the Druids (2001)
The main character is an incompetent troublemaker, though at least his co-workers rightfully hate him. You poison and rob a homeless man because you can't afford to make a phone call. You hide an important item in your room, even though you could just carry it around to keep it safe, which causes it to be stolen. Many other puzzles have no logic to them, such as destroying a tomb with sea salt.
Ambition (2001-2006)
The Guy Game (2004)
Animal Soccer World (2006)
Shenmue III (2019)
Yandere Simulator (2020?)
Cyberpunk 2077 (2020)
Previous "Winners":
ET the Extra-Terrestrial (1982)
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (1997)
Metroid: Other M (2010)
Fallout 76 (2018)
Sorry, I was a little late.
