What's the worst game you played that you actually finished?

Damn, people saying FFXV must only play really good games if that's the worst thing you've finished.
My answer is Mass Effect Andromeda.

Same here, kay ?
But also : Everybody's Gone To The Rapture.
I played only to get to the ending and because the soundtrack was so fricking awesome. Liked the story, hated the gameplay, probably one of the worst modern game I ever played.
FFXV, easily.
I'm putting it above Sonic Forces. It's a terrible game.

Resident Evil 6. All it took me was four years, buying the better PS4 version and a reason to do it since RE7 was just about to come out.
Either X-Men Destiny or Godzilla PS4. The sad thing is that I got all the achievements for X-Men and I'm still working on the platinum for Godzilla, lol.
And as a kid, I was also quite fond of Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge but I never managed to beat it until last year. God, what a shit game.

The only one that I can think of off the top of my head is the most recent Thief.i finished that on the hardest difficulty too.
It felt soooooooo long too. It's not the worst game ever, but it's extremely average.

Well, one the one hand yeah it is a pretty high bar they've got if XV is their worst experience, but given this is asking games people finished, I can see why some real dumpster fires may not show up as often as another thread. At least they beat it. No accounting for games people thought were rubbish and dropped early.
Final Fantasy X-2. My first experience and my last experience to the Final Fantasy games. It was such a slog, I hated the random encounters, I hated the class system, I hated the mini-games. It was the first game to make me question why I was even playing it.
I got 2 that I consider bad games and that I bothered to finish:
2)
Flatout Head On for PSP
The racing physics and mechanics were quite good, but the AI was HIDEOUS! No story in the story mode, too easy, it really overshadowed the other great aspects for the game like the deathmatch mode in which you battle 6vs cars in an arena and the fantastic stunt mode where you crash the car and launch the freaking driver through the front crystal to play bowling or many other things with him. I recommend the game for this mode, BRUTAL.
1) MOST HORRIBLE GAME I HAVE FINISHED IS:
The Sims 2 Castaway for PS2:
This game was SUCH a step down from the previous games and from my favorite Sims 2 game, the PSP one (go try it, it's actually a pretty good point and click game without the point and click), loading times were a little bit too long for my liking, game controlled like hell, and when I finally got all and wanted to go home, I expected a cut scene with my sims going back home, at least as a little reward. BUT NO, IT WAS A FREAKING FLASH ANIMATION THAT LASTED AROUND 20 SECONDS WITH 5 or 6 STILLS TOP. Such a disappointment.

I've played a lot of shitty NES, PC and Amiga games back in the days... that would take the cake but that's no fun since there was so much crap and that's what you played back then. Of more modern games from the last 2-3 years
I'd go with Crash Bandicoot 1 remastered.
What a load of crap, I wish I had kept my memories from it since I was a kid instead of ruining the game forever by playing the remaster.

This is a hyper linear game with little outside its awful, awful campaign.
And it...it...doesn't even have a chapter select. So if you want the achievement for killing every animal type in the game, sucks for you, because you probably missed like one or two, and you have to suffer through the whole thing again. Oh, and I think it has collectibles too. Beehives that blend in with the scenery. So if you missed those, you have to play through it again every time you miss one.
The only reason I played these awful games is because back in the day I had nothing else to play, so I had to borrow or scrounge around for something. Thank goodness Games with Gold was a thing.
Funny enough the sequel, Dangerous Hunts 2011, was actually kind of enjoyable. The shooting galleries especially were really intense, and achievement for lasting over 7 minutes in one of the survival galleries is one of the toughest I've ever completed. Really fun. Like I've showed it to a number of people and they're like...yo this is actually really fun!
Shame the dev got kinda shafted making a dying genre. Which, I should point out, they didn't make the attrocity you see above. 2009 was made by FUN Labs. Everything they make is just, so lame. But they continue to make full sized games. Cauldron, who made DH2011, is now left making mobile games.
Prince of Persia 2008. It is so ridiculously simple that the game seems to run on autopilot. Pong is a complex work of art compared to POP 2008.
Battlefield 4 single player, absolutely. I have no idea how that all went so wrong but it was just boring as hell. Had to finish the last level 3 times to get the MP unlocks as well!
Strangely enough I quite enjoyed BF3 single player.

That game is great, 'kay?
I never could bring myself to finish it.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is my choice too. The game looks good and the premise is interesting but everything else was terrible. The walking speed was atrocious and it was really hard to follow the story. With Dear Esther, there's only one character narrating the whole time. With Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, there's multiple characters talking in most scenes. You never actually see these characters though and you have to identify them purely by their voice. When I finished the game I barely had any idea what happened because I couldn't follow it.
Hmm, not sure whether to choose Sonic 06 or Jak II.
One one hand, Sonic 06 is a broken, unplayable mess, but I would be lying if I said I didn't get a bit of enjoyment out of it from all the laughs.
Jak II, however, is just not fun to play at all. A completely different game from the original where all the edge just ruins it, but at least it is somewhat playable.

Valkyria Revolution is still fresh in my mind. I kept reading about how bad it was, but it was a spin-off of Valkyria Chronicles, so how bad could it be? So I kept giving it a chance, over and over and over, and forced myself to continue to play cause at some point something good must happen, but nope, never happened. Everything in the game is mediocre, or simply plain bad. Not even the soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda was good, it was "ok".
And despite being a fairly recent game, I'm still inclined to say it's the worst game I ever played that I actually finished.

Aww, it wasn't amazing, but the music was worth it I thought. It at least has pretty graphics and art.
Surely you've played worse.
I completely forgot about this game. I thought the no dying complaint was mostly bullshit (especially when very few games use a lives system now instead of checkpoints) but I get the complaints when it came to combat. I'm a little tempted to put this above Everybody's Gone to the Rapture for my least favorite game I've completed though because of the bullshit ending unless you bought the DLC which came out a few months later.
And I finished both of these on a black and white television.
Holy shit.. i remember this game.. i was in the hospital for a couple of weeks and they had this game at there and i can remember i thought it was hard as hell and never could get far in it.. Damn nostalgia right now
I tend to finish every game I start even if it sucks, Assasin's Creed 3 is definitely one game that I forced myself to finish. Hate it.
I'd say Halo 2. I forced myself to finish it because it was Halo, but I was so sick of the game towards the end that I just wanted to reach the credits.
Star Ocean 3 and Final Fantasy XIII. To be fair I do only really play good games, so only Star Ocean 3 is bad.
I don't finish really bad games so Batman Arkham Knight is the worst game I completed.
Hated the combat, the story was a mess, they cramped too many villains and characters into the world, Batmobil was annoying, the Riddler stuff was the worst etc.
But I finished and enjoyed the predecessors, so I somehow felt obligated to play it to the end. It was over a long period of time, I upgraded my GPU three times so a big part of it was to come back and check out those amazing visuals. Also got it very cheap because of the abysmal PC launch.

Devil May Cry 2. The game is way to easy and very boring but I still beat it for some reason.
EDIT: Sonic 06 would objectively be the worse game I ever beaten but I actually had fun with that game despite how bad it is.

Personnally, I got most of the story right, on my playthrough. The end of the first chapter was great, with the priest crying and insulting God, (and the song at this moment, "For Ever", fits perfeclty). This moment almost made me cry (and I'm atheist).
I too, got lost tons of time because of that stupid pattern, did hours (yes, HOURS of SLOW WALKING while CRUSHING the hell out of the R2 trigger to WALK "faster") because of a bug that forced the pattern to stay around zones where I already saw every scenes. I had to progress blindly.
The music and art was good yeah but with those types of games I need a connection and for it to feel like an adventure, never got that Abzu, felt more like a poorly disguised pattern.
If they're absolute hot garbage I generally drop them.
Trying to think of something I rented for the NES or SNES back in the day that was just terrible, rented, beat, and never thought of again until this moment.
There's gotta be examples.
The thing that keeps coming up in my head right now is KotOR 2. The ending half of that game was such an incoherent mess, just ruining the quality of anything that came before.
