Sonic 06 /thread over :P What other buggy as shit games there are? There new Aliens game at least
If we're looking at functional and polished games, I'd say that Final Fantasy 13 is probably the worst one for being so insultingly bad.

Yes but is it truly broken and horribad? Just because it's really bad, does not mean it's bottom of the barrel. Bottom of the barrel is "how the hell could they even release this game"
My WTB thread (Sega CD/Saturn games)
Also looking to buy: Ys III (TG-16 CD), Shadowrun (Genesis) Hori N64 mini pad and Slayer (3DO) in long box/just the long box

Looks Like Ride to Hell: Retribution is a good candidate. I haven't played it, but I think these speak enough.

Short look video (careful the music bit at the end gets really loud compared to the rest)

Perfect! Ride to Hell: Retribution looks amazingly bad! This is exactly what I am looking for. It is like a hidden gem of terrible!

Also...I can assure you that Lunar: Dragon Song is really "bottom of the barrel/how the hell could they even release this game" bad. The fact that it bears the Lunar name only amplifies it horribleness.

I don't see what was 'insultingly bad' about FFXIII. It looked great and had a fun battle system. If you're just referring to it being linear, that's certainly miles away from 'worst game of this generation.'

This. Just because it is not to most FF fans' liking doesn't make it a bad game. Otherwise the NSMB series should be considered bad. (it's not)

I'm not on the bandwagon, but I'm surprised no one has mention Duke Nukem Forever.

Haven't played Rudolph, but so far I'm sticking with TPIR.

Having played it, I don't think it is the worst. It's a let-down, sure. But not the worst game.

Here's a 360 game for you...this is easily one of the worst games I have ever played. Expecting a cool, modern version of Bomberman, the beloved Nintendo franchise? Well, you're not getting it, at least with this game.

^I haven't played it, but is it a bad game, or a bad BOMBERMAN game?

I think that's everyone's issues in this thread. FFXIII might be a bad FF game to you, but it's not a bad game. Forever is a bad Duke Nukem, but not really a bad game. Etc.

It's definitely bad, and definitely NOT a Bomberman game. I think they were going for the advanced, futuristic look while incorporating the basic elements of a Bomberman game, but they missed the mark terribly. It's unplayable, imo.
