What Makes A Bad Game

Perfection is something that everyone is striving to achieve in all facets of life. No matter the kind profession, field of study, or hobby one may choose, there will be a million different views and opinions on what is considered perfect. Yet not everything is viewed as satisfactory or meeting a desired standard. This is what many begin to categorize as the bad apples of the group. These are the other things that don't get it right at all and repel us away to search again for what is desired. This too is something that will never be universally agreed upon by everyone, as no two preferences will ever be the exact same. Yet preferences do have characteristics in common despite their vast differences, especially for what many consider to be bad and undesirable. In the realm of video games, this is something that is decided and debated all the time among all gamers. From console wars to deciding what title is the bane of the genre, gamers are always casting aside and classifying games as bad. Knowing what common themes to look for is the first step to understanding what makes a video game bad.

Neat article, Venom. For me, it's politics.

What makes a game bad? When it fails to set out what it wants to achieve, whether it is a horror game that lacks in atmosphere like Alone in the Dark or whether it is an interesting idea like Amy but poorly executed.

Mikefizzled4238d ago

I think any game with more confidence then quality is usually terrible.

Money.

Money takes away dev time and creative freedom.

Companies would rather make a small profit, on time, in a shorter timespan, then take an extra year and create a game that people will remember for 20 years.

which would then gain them tons of profit over the long term.

The Main problem is putting people in charge who know nothing about gaming.

When your Leader is a "money " guy, then that is all your game is going to be.....a product that makes a profit.

When your LEADER is a gamer, then you actually have a chance that the game could be good.

Wiiloveit.com: Men in Black: Alien Crisis - Wii Review

"Recognizing an employment opportunity as one that only comes along once in a lifetime can easily cause a person to manifest a selective focus. What may seem to be a guarantee of accelerated growth towards professional development becomes so desirable that this is put on high above all else. As great as the sounds, failing to get the whole picture can prove even more regrettable than deciding not to take up the offer at all. As far as Men in Black: Alien Crisis is concerned, the appeal of being a part of a conspiracy-unearthing organization can be great, if the thought of getting to wear a slick get-up doesn't already sell you. But no amount of intrigue can account for overlooking such a key detail as the omnipresence of danger. Really, the word "crisis" should be a tell-all as regards the conditions you'll be contending with. But, perhaps unexpectedly, this is a game where its internal state is plagued by its own set of damaging insecurities that prove messy in scope and effect. In an environment where bad design is presented as the way of the future, Men in Black: Alien Crisis is a disaster that will unsettle even the most collected of folks." -- Wiiloveit.com

Ninja Gaiden 3 was truly awful.

And Namco should be ashamed of Ridge Racer tbh.

CustardTrout4313d ago

Revelations 2012 isn't on this list... It's byfar the WORST game of the year, maybe even in the history of gaming by some points of view.
