Hardcore Gamer: "Being a critic can sometimes lead to an odd juxtaposition of games. While your average gamer may play Tomb Raider and naturally progress to BioShock Infinite, I had the privilege of playing The Last of Us before transitioning into…Ride to Hell: Retribution. That’s not to say that I’m holding it against the title by unfairly comparing it; The Last of Us was a special experience that’s rarely obtained in the medium. Instead, I at best had hope for a strange “so bad its good” experience along the lines of Deadly Premonition. But not only did Ride to Hell turn out to hardly be playable, but a dying relic of a time where uninformed gamers could be bilked out of a quick buck from a studio desperate to salvage whatever financial gain possible from a failed project."
We’re so done with this game and this year.
You're winner(!) if you can make it through the worst video games ever made without throwing your controller away.
E.T. for the Atari 2600. I'm never going to forget falling into those pits over and over and over and over again. So annoying
I mean given the technical limitations of the 2600, ET isn't a terrible game per-se. But it does a horrible job of explaining just what the hell you are supposed to do.
Superman 64 on the other hand has zero excuses.. it's just a flat out terribly made game.

This crackdown 3 should be in that list for taking seemingly forever only for the finished product to look like a 360 game with hdr. crackdown 3 by far is the worst AAA game this gen. How did Microsoft botch a chance to show off the power of the X with this garbage?
More games really should let you take a trip down the highway to Hell.
We already have plenty of games that prominently feature bikers
- Full Throttle
- Brutal Legend
- Devil May Cry series
- Left 4 Dead
- Shadow the Hedgehog
- Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned
- Freedom Planet series
- Bayonetta series
- Jak & Daxter series
If a developer can make a game that features bikes or bikers then cool, but it shouldn’t be a new trend just because one upcoming game is focusing on it.
I think you're confused about what "bikers" are mate.
A few of those titles in your list are questionable. I laughed at a few of them.
Just one for example: Brutal Legend wasn't about a biker, it was about a roadie and metal music.
Devil May Cry... I think I saw a bike once? I don't remember I played it when it came out back in 2001.
Plus there's a difference between "bikers" and gang members.
The ideology or characteristics of a 1%er has no value in the post apocalypse. Oh so you live by your own laws, you are outlaws. That’s nice but what good is that in a lawless world? Other than not being directly effected by the collapse of society and the economy. That’s what makes the biker a good dynamic in days gone. It’s not some ode to bikers or a representation checklist, it’s just preparation from a past life and it makes sense.
If you mean bikers as some old Tim Allen stereotype in assless chaps then no thanks.
Thats a shame, had great potential. I was excited for this, until I watched some gameplay footage. Reminded me of the old Lucas Arts game Full Throttle.
Not surprised.
Always have to worry about those games that seemingly fall of the face of the earth, resurface and then, rather fast, release.
It is funny how this would be put alongside TLoU, for the same price, in a videogame retailer (although I imagine this game will cost about 5 quid new in a months time...), i can't imagine who would buy this tripe!
This has been in the works for a few years and early on it promised to be an open-world game with driving, fighting, building up vehicles, and leveling up via "respect", a la Saints Row.
When I saw it listed at Gamestop for 30 beans, I thought it would help tide me over until SR4 and GTA5 come out. Luckily I was able to cancel my order after seeing some actual gameplay. I was horrified to see how awful the driving looked, the ancient quicktime fighting, the need to shoot enemies ten times in the head, frequent loading screens, and absolutely no open-world.
Deep Silver should be ashamed to put their name on this cobbled together stinking pile of putrid pixels.
