I'd have to say Unreal Tournament 3.  UT classic was amazing, UT 2003 was a giant step forward, and UT 2004 fixed issues with 2k3.  Then the abomination that was UT3 came out and showed us a craptastic Halo/Gears of War-ized version of FPS's that , sadly, is the norm nowadays. 

Close second is Hellgate London.  From  the makers of Diablo..... a honky subscription game that really wasn't subscription.  Cool movies though.  Unfinished game released.  Enough said.

ToEE was the culprit!  (the second PoR, RoMD, was close behind, however, and I only pay attention to CRPGs, no MMOs, RTS, or FPS.)

Baldur's Gate 2.

For the horrible transition from BG1.

Lost all items (glad i bought the BG1 expansion that added nothing but new items and a dungeon)
Lost my Party (Me? travel with Minsc and Imoen? lol, no..)
Stupid overpowered builds added (kensai what?!)
Difficulty even lower than BG1. (sigh)

David Warner saved that game for me. Hated the expansion though.

hmm.. Mech Warrior 4. Sacred Gold. I'd agree that in comparison with BG-1, BGII sucked but I still enjoyed it in it's own category.

[Cantu430]

Agreed with Tranj. I have the same feelings except for Hellgate London, I loved it =\\

[DigitalOrigami]

Massive Wreck, er, Mass Effect.

I cannot let this stand here without comment.

Lost all items

While it might have been possible to find your belongings in a chest or something somewhere in the dungeon (there are mods for that by now, by the way), it doesn't really bother me, for with the exception of Balduran's Cloak, there are few items in the first game that you actually miss after completing your equipment again. This also allows for at least some difficulty in raising the much too low amount of 15.000 Gold.

While we're on the subject, if you press Space right after the game being started and use this break to open up your inventory, you can drop your items on the ground and not lose any of them.

(glad i bought the BG1 expansion that added nothing but new items and a dungeon)

Oh come now. As if the experience wasn't enough in this case. Otherwise, why play at all?

Lost my Party (Me? travel with Minsc and Imoen? lol, no..)

I agree with you that this part is a "little" awkward.
In my current BGT-TOB run I simply left Minsc in his cell because my main character had no idea who the heck that was but she didn't like the way his hamster smelled.

Stupid overpowered builds added (kensai what?!)

While I must say that there is quite a span dividing the powerful classes from the powerless ones, why do you have to mention one of the weaker builds as an example of overpoweredness.
Any high level thief, bard, mage or combination with thief or mage levels would be able to thrash a puny kensai no matter what the stats.
A RC would offer the kensai at least a fighting chance, albeit not a big one.

Edit: Admittedly, a kensai dualclass is awesome. But the road to a proper high level kensai thief or kensage is not an easy one.

Difficulty even lower than BG1. (sigh)

There are mods for that now.

Spore.



It had so much customization, but the game play ended up being exactly either way. Kind of ruins the point of all the customization.

NWN2. Coming from NWN and having played K2 (Obsidian's work, which I greatly enjoyed), I had high hopes for the continuation of the series. Instead the OC was lackluster and the companions were annoying, the interface was confusing, and the toolset was frustrating to use (admittedly, I'm a novice at module creation). Also, there weren't many good story mods of high quality out there in comparison to NWN1. Quite a pity really.

Also, the Sims 3. Destroyed everything that Sims 2 stood for and turned it into a dumbed-down game without much innovation. There was very little of the goofy humor and zany creativity that characterized The Sims 2 and made it so much fun. Also, the new Sims look like ugly alien blobs especially under the horrible outdoors lighting, which was and is a turn-off to many players. Not to mention the lack of in-game content in favor of DLC (yes, yes, we've heard the "don't buy it if you don't like it" argument, but can you really call $5 for a tiki set a good bargain?). I lost interest in The Sims 3 after a short time because gameplay was so dull and boring, and I sure won't be buying any of the future expansions. Meh.

Easy: Oblivion. They ripped out the rich world and cool magic spells that made Morrowind excellent, insulted us with stupid compass markers and left us with an overly large game with a poor story, some ridiculously stereotyped environments and graphics quality that looked awful even on release.



I rather regret pre-ordering the collector's edition, but at least the septim was very cool.

[digi warrior999]

morrowind and Fable 1 and Fable 2.



Morrowind because I kept getting killed by worm-like creatures, and could do zero damage because I couldn't hit anything...EVER.



Fable 2 I bought and was finished about a day later, and the story was awful. Fable 1 I borrowed and it didn't feel important enough to finish.

[Few87]

the witcher, Im not really sure why i even got it when i object to a few things that are in that game. Suffice to say it was as bad as i thought, should be banned.

[andybuiadh]

Oh oh oh!!



Deus Ex 2.

[MerinTB]

Lionheart.
ToEE.
NWN.
Half-Life 2.
Shadowrun (the online multi-player only one.)
Morrorwind.
Dark Angel.

Top of that list is either Lionheart or NWN, though.
And damned if I didn't try to like both of those games, wanted desperately to like them.

Temple of Elemental Evil...

Or if you prefer, the second nail in Troika's coffin. This was a shining example of how a combination of licensing and horrible QA can ruin a game. The concept of vignettes was interesting. Sort of like DA's origins except much simpler. Problem was they were almost all resolved right away and had no impact beyond giving your party justification to visit Hommlet. The game's story continues to fall apart from there.

There is virtually no dialogue beyond what's needed to begin or resolve a quest and only marginal use of three available conversation skills. The NPCs were more or less the same as BG1, except most of them took a share of every valuable you found... leaving barely enough for you to equip yourself or them. It made expanding your party beyond your PCs pointless since they were not only weaker and devoid of depth, but also greedy.

The glorious turn based combat was hampered by bugs galore. Spells were bugged. Feats were bugged. AI was bugged. Despite this most battles were so easy that you could breeze through them without relying on the plethora of 3.5e options Troika worked to implement. I never had a need to set against a charge or some such.

Finally, there was cut content that made certain quests jarring and a few areas feel... off. ToEE was a train wreck of bad QA, storytelling, and license holder micromanagement. Then again it wasn't as bad as...

Pools of Radiance...

Where do I begin? Its rules implementation was awful. Music was awful. Story was awful. Graphics were only a rung above BG2 level. Combat was a mess of menus that were torturous to quickly navigate. It made the worst of NWN2's interface feel as slick as a frozen puddle. If that wasn't bad enough PoR was rigged. Its developers felt attack bonus values rose too high in comparison to the defense offered by equipment, so they rigged what were supposed to be random dice to make hits harder to land. Result? Every melee fight took an *eternity* if it involved multiple opponents. Fighting off, say, zombies was an exercise in patience as you had to wait for their slow animations to play out; just to see them miss.

Best part of all? There was a bug in unpatched Pools of Radiance that could format your harddrive if you tried to uninstall. I ended up taking my copy of this game and snapping it in half. It wasn't even worth keeping as a coaster.

I'll round out my top five in brief...

- Demigod: I liked the concept. Too bad the game's online functionality barely worked. After dropping out of so many matches due to connectivity issues I finally gave up.
- Vay: Worst JRPG I've ever played. Victor Ireland must have lost it when he chose this for translation.
- Beyond the Beyond: Second worse JRPG I ever finished. I can only vaguely remember the story and ending. What I do recall is how monotonous it was... and that character Samson that spent the first half of your adventure cursed, and therefore a constant and aggravating burden.

I could go on and on with this, but I'll stop here. This was fun. I usually don't feel justified in writing so much blatant hyperbole.

I swear that game used a d6 for attack rolls!

Most of the classes were  also useless.

I couldn't get PoR to install on my computer, so lent it to a workmate to try it out for me.



Long story short, I let him keep it. ;o)

I bought the Collector's Edition or Deluxe Edition or whatever.

I forgot to list it, but is should be in my list -

I kept the dice bag (that was pretty cool, as dice bags go) and the soundtrack (not the best game soundtrack, but added in a rotation IF YOU SKIP THE SINGING TRACKS it helps fill out an evening of CRPG music or background for table-top gaming) and the box and sold the game back to EB Games for a small loss (probably less than the cost of a dice bag and cheap CD soundtrack, though.)

Singing tracks? Glad i missed those. i stopped playing due to awful character class implimentation.

Rogues with no stealth! in a game that could really use a scout..

[Sloth Of Doom]

I'm going to add Spore to this list (such hype and potential and it ended up being lame as hell) as well as Sacred 2 (I liked the first one)

If you think Pool of Radiance was bad, try playing Pool of Radiance: Ruins of Myth Drannor.

Also, to Merin: I kind of liked Lionheart (though not enough to finish it)..but I had bought it having never heard of it like 5 years after it came out, so i had no expectations whatsoever.
