Worst RPG you've ever played... - Page 3

Definitely Ultima IX.

It was so lame.
I was furious two hours into the game.
After 3 hours, I was laughing at the absurdity.

Ziroc · 01-25-2002, 06:21 PM

Some that come to mind are:

1. Dungeon Keep (Same as the other guy here--looked 'cool' on the old 3DO console, but sucked rocks.

2. My close friend 'Decent to Undermountain'.. ah yes, waiting 2 years thinking it would be awesome, turned into a total joke. didn't even support the 3dfx card.

3. Prophecy of the Shadow' One of SSI's last sucky RPG's.

4. Ultima 9--I am split here, because it looked (and still does) totally awesome) but needed a P4 2Ghz with 1 gig of ram 2 YEARS ago to run right, and the bugs were such a joke, they reburned the 1st CD, and sent it out to registered users. (And closed their FORUM because it was 99% flames) lol.. I MAY play it through someday.

Anyone else??

Ultima Underworld 2 (Going way back here I know but hey it still a pc game I know of a lot of non-pc game that bite eggs.) Well UW1 was great fun and well hard, okay really hard I never did find that spritual iteam. But two was just pants on ice, go to all these worlds then destory the links frankly I gave in when faced by stick figures in battle, and it look just the same graphical as one what a waste.

I think it may furnish a useful interrogation tool with terrorists, provided it's done quietly by the military and no humanitarian organizations find out. That was one awful game, IMO. And not even an RPG, as promised.

I see most people have posted Computer RPGs. For PNP I would use:

MERP/Rolemaster (far too many damned tables)

Fighting Fantasy (the original version - I quite liked the 'Advanced' one)

Helspanth · 01-26-2002, 12:20 PM

Lord Shield is right!
In MERP/Rolemaster you had to consult the tables even when you wanted to walk!!!!!
THAT was by far the worst I had the misfortune of playing!

I remember you got Experience points for travelling and you had to remember how many times you'd done that trip because the xp value was less each time - that sucked [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I nominate Daggerfall. The dungeons all look alike and are little more than confusing jumbles of worm tunnels. The outdoors are also too featureless and have nothing special for you to discover. Also, the game's too biased against non-magic-users.

That was a COOL level! Ultima Underworld series was my #1 favorite.. TOTALLY Awesome game.. Was the 1st REAL 3D game (used sprite based 3d) but man.. and before Wolf3D too..

WOLFGIR · 01-29-2002, 05:14 AM

For computer game I would have to say Summoner, clumsy game and well the graphics was kinda.. cubish and well not at all that fun, and the level up bit was kinda pointless.. Too much of Diablo, too little of the good diablo bits and well the setting and atmosphere were kinda dull..

There are probably worse, Like Final Fantasy 7 (if you can call that a rolepalying game) and that Japanese influenced one with a cyberpunk.destroyed earth future thing.. Really awful..

For the pen and paper.. Hmm, Twilight 2000. No roleplaying really, a matter of destroying enemies and crappy system and unrealistic making of characters and the combat system made a couple of friends and myself close to fall weeping!

Merp is also a bad example, too many lists, referance tables and stuff that kills the flow...
