    Default X-play's Worst Games of 2009

    I woke up in the middle of the nite so i turned on G4 and XPlay was on and they were talking about the worst games of 09. the two that i remember that they were talking about we

    Bionic Commando
    Resident Evil 5

    i fell asleep before they said the other ones. i only played RE5 and i was a little dissapointed with the game but i dont think it deserved "worst of" status. sure it wasnt as scary as 4 but it was still decent gameplay. kinda short but fun. anyone else see this episode and know what the other games were?

    I've only played the demo of RE5 and from the moment I tried moving and shooting I was turned off by the game. Then theres the fact that the bosses in the demo were like Superman's long lost Kryptonian cousins who were nigh invincible.

    While I'm not sure if I would call it one of the worst games of last year, I would definitely say that any game that doesn't control naturally for me will be looked upon with great distain.

    Resident Evil 5 is a good game, it just wasn't very different from 4 so it was disappointing for a lot of people.

    I don't understand why people were disappointed with more of what they liked.

    For me at least it just hadnt gone to the next level. If you play like RE Code Veronica and then Resident Evil 4, the difference is night and day. If you play Resident Evil 4 and then Resident Evil 5 they're almost identical (gameplay wise).

    resident evil 1,2,3 and CV were near identical too I thought re5 was awesome when played over co-op, I have 40 hours logged onto the game, something that happens once every 5 years for me.

    re5 the worst? No way maybe the worst high profile but even that....reviews were generally pretty good if not excellent (or so I thought...not sure now...) my brother loved and beat the game and tried to get me to play but my time is so limited. I played a bit and it was fun to me. hmm...

    I wish I still got G4 its nowhere near as good as techtv was (or for that matter as good as it once was) but I still miss it.

    I didn't like Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil is supposed to be a survival horror. In RE4 and 5 it's not survival horror. It's blow everything up. If I wanted to play a game that plays like an FPS, I wouldn't play one that is watered down in play style to use the Resident Evil control scheme and send hordes of enemies with stupid AI at you.

    The game does nothing more than look like a Resident Evil game with the gameplay of an extremely aged FPS.

    Then people try to defend the game saying. But it has multiplayer! Perfect Dark and Golden Eye have multiplayer. Unreal Tournament 3 has a multiplayer campaign. The new Armored Core games have multiplayer campaigns. One difference is that these games actually have good gameplay. It's like people think that having multiplayer turns a game from being an absolute pile of crap to an amazing game. No. It's just that now, you can play this crap game with a friend.

    Bionic Commando is not that bad either. Some people are ticked off by some of the design (understandably), but it's no more annoying than the original...it just isn't consistent with other modern games...

    First off, why are they making a list so early? Shoudn't they make the list at the end of the year or the beginning of next year, since many more games will be released around the holiday season? Whatever, I guess its not a big deal.

    But seriously, what the fuck where they thinking putting RE5 on the list? I don't want to sound like a fanboy, but I am sure there are at least 10 games that are far worse than RE5 that have been released this year. I can understand if its put as the years biggest dissapointment, but it is not even close to being a shitty game.

    RE5 and Bionic Commando? WTF? I know Bionic Commando isn't the highest rated game, but they're going around like they have some sort of grudge against Capcom!

    Maybe they mean for how hyped up the games were. I don't see Bionic Commando being hyped up at all. RE5 though.

    Sounds a lot like House of the Dead with "hordes of enemies", "FPS", and "horror".

    I have not played Bionic Commando as of yet but the videos I've seen of it, the game doesn't look that bad to call it the worst.
    And about Resident Evil 5, it does feel like you're controlling a big bulky robot all the time, i mean turn around and then run that's not normal.

    I wouldn't call the 2 mentioned above the worst seeing that the Wii got a truckload of shovelware but those don't even count in Worst Games of 2009.

    Wow, Game Freak ya beat me to the shovelware comparison!

    RE4 was the most fun Resident Evil ever has been, aside from maybe REmake, so your point is invalid.

    RE5 got a lot of hate (rather correctly) for having incredibly dumb AI and for not using the controller correctly. That said, it wasn't bad by any stretch of the imagination. I liked the locales of RE4 a bit more though.

    Most enjoyed it. Only a small minority seem to bitch about 5. Kind of similar to the always vocal FF7 hater minority. Don't let a "few" fool you. RE5 was a MASSIVE success. Critically and financially.

    I prefer RE4, but 5 was pretty damn good.

    Really? These are worse then:

    Six Flags Fun Park
    Niki - Rock 'n' Ball
    X-Men Origins: Wolverine
    Sonic and the Black Knight
    Let's Catch
    Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust
    Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard
    ShellShock 2: Blood Trails
    PDC World Championship Darts 2008 <-- WTF?

    Way to go G4, you're right on the pulse of gaming yet again.

    Agreed. For everyone over the age of 16 anyways.
