10 "Bad" Video Games That Are Actually Quite Good 

Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick has a dedicated one-liner button just for the sake of having it.

It's amazing for morons, you mean.

Lol

Scarface: The World Is Yours has a button for talking shit too, and it works into gameplay too.

Truly the most underrated feature ever

I mostly loved that one too...I only got rid of my copy because it rarely worked. I just got so sick of having to constantly disconnect from the internet hoping it would actually start up instead of freezing & crashing on the damn title screen ( fucking EA and their goddamn always online DRM bullshit.... )

The world needs a modern Mercenaries game

I agree! Though some of the missions had glitches which made them pretty much broken and the trophies has problems too

I love the original one. Lucas Arts made good games. EA took over I think 🤔.

It's Imperialist propaganda

Lmaooooo 😂

Yahtzee!

Haha

Oh man I loved that game

I was just playing 187 earlier

Hmm. I had a lot of fun with the gameplay, but I personally did NOT like the characters. Arno was blander than steamed tofu when one is suffering from a bad cold, and the female lead- I can't remember her name I'm afraid- was an irritant. Spoiler ahead- I was quite irritated with how she buggered everything up for you at the end! Again, I can't remember exactly what occured, it didn't make a massive lasting impression, I just remember my husband and I saying "Silly, bloody cow! What was she thinking!?" at the time (we played passing the controller back-n-forth, one mission each style).

Yea I enjoyed it as well and liked Arno but he's no ezio. Brotherhood is my fav

Alpha protocol was the BOMB!

So sad they delisted that one on PS Now, I was excited to try it and I don't have a PS3 anymore 😢

I tried to play it but the controls were fiddly as fuck.

I was expecting to see it, too. It's a brilliant game if it's played properly. I think the big problem is it's not obvious how to play it properly (pistols!) unless you do a little research first, so I suspect a lot of reviewers took a suboptimal path through no fault of their own.

This is a great one. The game is janky as hell, but still really cool and fun regardless.

seriously Alpha Protocol deserves a sequel with better combat....everything else worked well and was awesome but having to hold the aiming reticle over an enemy for an eternity in order to actually hit them made combat a clunky mess of bs ( if I'm literally right in the dude's face, HOW THE HELL DO I MISS? )

​@@newageBoundhippie "if I'm literally right in the dude's face, HOW THE HELL DO I MISS?" As far as I'm concerned, that's practically the difference between an RPG and an action game: that layer of abstraction between what you literally see and what's going on underneath the hood. It's easy to get past that abstraction if it's something blatantly abstract like, say, menu-based turn-based combat in old school Final Fantasy games. Doesn't work so well when the game has the presentation of an action game, however. (Morrowind for example has the same problem.) But yeah, playing the game with pistols and the chain shot ability pretty much bypasses that annoyance so you can focus on the good stuff. Didn't figure that out until my second playthrough, and I don't think I even made it through the first playthrough.

I bought this game at a closing video store

That game is my favorite platinum. I have sunk more hours into it than I can remember

It was a staple of its time It doesn’t get enough credit

Online or offline? Coz the offline missions are quite boring, I finished 100% easily and not that long. The godfather 1 (ps2) is more challenging.

Literally the only game I revisit. I've done more than 8 playthroughs.

Eh, the second game isn't quite as satisfying IMHO. Feels like the story was a bit rushed, despite taking 10 years for the sequel to come out. I'm glad we got one, but the town of Le Carre kind of feels a little dead and too empty, whereas Greenvale in the first game felt much more alive to me, as whacky as the characters were they had routines, relationships with one another, clear motivations and histories you could uncover; even if you didn't explore very much, the game made you spend a lot of time getting to know them as suspects in the case, and whenever one of them became a victim you couldn't help but feel sorry for them, because Deadly Premonition did a really good job of making them feel like a living part of the game's world. What's more it is a great story that does a great job of keeping you guessing until the reveals at the end. DP2 does not have very much of this; York is given a sidekick to interact with, and she's awesome and bounces off of him really well. But the other residents of Le Carre, whilst they're definitely in keeping with the outlandish quirkiness of the first game, we never get to know or hang out with them as much before shit goes down; the only one I kind of cared about was Danny Clarkson, since he becomes much more sympathetic once York interacts with him. Characters start being killed off almost immediately after York arrives, and then York goes to the crime scenes and is basically shown what happened, rather than having to figure anything out himself. For me the story in the Le Carre section is also little too short because it climaxes too early, but I enjoyed the interrogation in the 2019 segments. (Even if they are a bit long and have maybe too much dialogue) DP2 recaptures the humour of the first game, and York is just fun to hang out with. But bizarrely the game just felt really unpolished overall, and the story and it's ending wasn't as earned or satisfying as the first game to me; in trying to be both a prequel and a sequel it doesn't really do either justice. IMHO Swery kind of overextended himself and his small indie dev studio trying to develop 3 different games at the same time, (The Good Life ended up being delayed and is still yet to come out) and it really shows that there must have been a lot of pressure to get DP2 out on time; the game being set in 2019 is kind of a giveaway to me that it was meant to come out a year earlier than it did, although they were pretty late announcing the release date.

u wanna play?

WET is excellent

Eliza Dushku has bad luck. I was majorly into Dollhouse when it came out, but the writing went south pretty quickly. WET is another example of Dushku turning in a great performance on a mediocre final product.

Nah it's pretty bad.

WET was actually a good game. It just under performed.

Unfortunately it's not on PC so I can't try it out.

The complaints department will be inundated! Great game that.

Whoever was behind this script definitely either hasn't played Shaq Fu or just isn't a fan of fighting games so the reasons why it's hated were kinda lost on them.

YES! I love Agents of Mayhem! much like the Saints Row series it's spun off of it's such mindless fun with plenty of humor

@@newageBoundhippie Absolutely! Agents of Mayhem sadly never got the love and attention that it really deserved ;-;

Loved it too but it was a buggy mess.

In my opinion; first and foremost the gameplay/combat just didn't feel nearly as satisfying. Combine that with a story that never had a chance to live up to the original and that could be completed in a matter of hours, I remember feeling really cheated. That's the first time I can remember buying a game on launch day and being supremely pissed off about it lol.

Probably lack of real combat but for what it was I enjoyed it as well. It's a different kind of game and I enjoyed the story

No one says it's bad, though. It just gets overlooked in favor of Spider-Man 2 and the 2018 game. I too think it's one of the best super hero games out there.

10.) Days Gone 9.) Horizon Zero Dawn 8.) God of War (PS4) 7.) Ghost of Tsushima 6.) All Assassin's Creed games 5.) Fortnite 4.) PUBG 3.) Among us 2.) All Call of Duty games 1.) Pokemon Go

There's enough negativity in videogame media

That’s my childhood right there this game definitely deserved more shine

As one whos mainly into fighting games: Shaq fu is just borderline unplayable competitive wise on a highly competitive genre (tournament fighters) for several gameplay mechanics flaws (Utterly delayed controls, really bad colision detection/hitboxes, 'Special' Bar hardly useless,etc). Not only that, but for casual players these flaws also make the game insanely difficult to beat against the AI. That pretty much sums up why it gets so much hate, especially from the fighting game community.

Same. At the time i was sure a lot of the hate came from not being able to play as Neo, Trinity or Morpheus. Looking bad it was a bit all over the place

I'd slow dance with Ben while he looked up into my eyes. No homo.

Sus

The game was hot garbage
