Video Games so Bad theyíre Awesome Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, Iím Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
There are some pretty terrible games out there.
Iíve touched on some of them in other videos.
But sometimes, a game is just so bad that it goes all the way around and is good again.
These are some of the best worst games out there, where you can just zone out and enjoy
them without all that pesky ìthinkingî nonsense.
So give your brain a rest and get ready, because itís time for the Top 10 Video Games so Bad
Theyíre Awesome.
Number 10: Deadly Premonition.
Deadly Premonition was a survival horror game from 2010, and reviews were heavily divided.
The game is best known for being extremely chaotic and weird, with lousy graphics and
controls.
To some, this game was terrible; bad voice acting, weird characters, crazy story, and
just overall lousy.
But to others, itís so wonderfully strange and whimsical and gruesome, that itís epic.
It was also made better with the release of the Directorís Cut, which polished it up
and gave an extended ending.
Give it a try if youíre a fan of the weird!
But Iíd highly advise the Directorís cut.
Number 9: Two Worlds.
Two Worlds came out back in 2007, a year after Oblivion, which would make you think it would
be pretty polished.
NOPE.
For whatever reason, the game creators decided to voice the characters themselves.
Incredibly awkward fake Olde English vocabulary spoken with mostly American accents, combined
with largely expressionless actors, gives you one painfully-voiced game.
That said, there were some pretty neat monsters, a decent number of spells, and a bunch of
factions, which is pretty sweet.
Plus the voices are so terrible that theyíre super entertaining.
Iím a bit biased because Two Worlds was the first RPG I ever played so it was all just
a magical experience for me, but I still love it.
Even though itís kinda poop, especially compared to Oblivion.
Number 8: Survival Arts.
Survival arts was a Mortal Kombat style arcade fighting game from 1993, and itís widely
viewed as one of the worst games of this type ever.
The characters look lousy and were very large, the actors clearly didnít know how to fight,
the game was imbalanced, and the moves were just frustrating to play.
However, many of these ridiculous aspects actually make the game pretty hilarious to
play.
Even if youíre getting destroyed because the other person just keeps using the stupid
freaking machine gun, you can still take solace in the fact that the game is hilariously lame,
and revel in the fact that someone made that game and went ìYep, thatíll do.î
Number 7: Manhunt.
Manhunt isÖ not for everyone.
Letís get that out of the way right now.
Itís an unforgiving and incredibly brutal stealth action game with 24 levels.
Itís also one of the most absurdly violent games ever created.
To the point where itís kind of stupid.
That said, if youíre able to just accept it and enjoy it, itís kind of a blast.
Plus Brian Cox does voice acting in it, which is just awesome.
I love reading the reviews for this one, youíll read one that says ìThis canít be a game.
This is trashî and then one that sincerely says ìThis game is one of the best made to
date.î Talk about divisive.
Number 6: Harvester.
Harvester was a point and click adventure from 1996, so right there you kinda know that
it wonít be the king of games.
Then you find out it uses full-motion video and you get a bit more worried.
Then you find out that itís a really strange horror thatís confusing, stupid, and frustrating
and you might just say ìscrew itî and put it away.
But donít!
Because Harvester, while totally messed up, can actually be pretty awesome if you play
it with the right attitude.
Just sit back and go along for the ride, enjoy the gory strangeness.
Itís even been compared to Twin Peaks in that respect, so if you like Twin Peaks, maybe
give it a shot!
Number 5: BloodRayne.
Half human.
Half vampire.
All woman.
No seriously, thatís a tagline.
Thatís your first sign that this wonít be the most thought-provoking of games.
And it really isnít.
But you know what it is?
A game where you play as a sexy vampire woman who carves dudes up with swords.
Itís like Lara Croft meets Selene from UnderworldÖ meets a stripper.
Itís pretty silly and clearly using sex to sell, but honestly there are some pretty badass
moments.
Drink enough blood and you go into a bloodrage, and just go bananas tearing apart zombies
and Nazis, and itís just ridiculous, gory fun.
Not the best graphics or controls, but likeÖ just smash the buttons.
Something will happen.
Number 4: Shaq Fu.
Okay, this may come off as a bit of a flip flop because Iíve already used Shaq Fu in
our ìworst gamesî video.
But as stupid as it is to have Shaq doing Kung Fu, on the other handÖ youíre playing
as Shaq doing Kung Fu.
Thatís amazing.
This isnít the kind of deep, thoughtful fun that you get playing games like Portal or
Wolf Among Us, this is just straight up turn off your brain because itís time to enjoy
the stupidest thing ever kind of fun.
Yes itís a bad game, butÖ Itís ShaqÖ doing Kung FuÖ Itís awesome.
And it couldnít be any worse than his foul shooting.
Number 3: Link: The Faces of Evil.
There is some dispute as to which Zelda game is the best.
But there can be no argument about the worst.
Because this is it.
Link: The Faces of Evil was a CDi game from 1993 that took Link, the beloved star of the
Zelda franchise, and just pissed all over him.
It was not pretty.
And ironically, Linkís face looks pretty damn evil.
Putting Link in a stupid side-scroller was terribleÖ but at the same timeÖ itís just
amazing.
Itís kind of like the video game version of that video where the woman falls when stomping
grapes.
Itís painful, but you just.
Canít.
Stop.
Plus, the backgrounds are pretty nice, and itís actually considered one of the better
CDi games out thereÖ only problem is, that isnít saying much because CDi sucks.
Number 2: Desert Bus.
Around the time that Penn and Teller were blowing up in pop culture, they came out with
a Sega CD game called Penn and Tellerís Smoke and Mirrors, and in the game were a bunch
of ridiculous mini games.
My personal favourite was Desert Bus, where you drove from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas,
Nevada.
In real time.
For 8 hours.
Without pausing.
It was created to be as boring and inoffensive as possible, to poke fun at the rising movement
claiming that video games were corrupting kids.
It was the worst thing everÖ but that made it pretty great.
To be clear, this wasnít FUNÖ but itís pretty awesome.
Number 1: Pretty much any Kusoge game.
Turns out, it isnít exactly uncommon to enjoy terrible games simply because theyíre terrible.
Itís so prevalent in Japan that there is actually a word for this, Kusoge, which translates
to ìshit gameî.
These games are often created to be as terrible as possible, with ridiculous bugs, awful voice
acting, atrocious graphics, and stupid gameplay.
And theyíre hilarious, both playing and watching them.
Check out the Cho Aniki series, theyíre ridiculously campy games that justÖ words fail to describe
them.
Just watch.
I didnít want to include too many but let me know in the comments if youíd like a Top
10 Kusoge Game list because holy moly there are a lot of winners.
