Really retarded games that you play anyway

CuccoLady · 10-16-2009, 01:46 AM

We all have games that we know are really dumb but we play them anyway because they are hilarious and/or fun in their own way.

I still play Yoshi's Story once in a great while for kicks. Msot hard gaem evar.

It is good eye candy, though. x{D

I also play DK64 despite its severe lack of solid gameplay or anything at all, really. I still enjoy flying around using Tiny's pigtails, failing at the original arcade game, and being freaked out by the giant evil clown Jack-In-The-Box. I've never actually finished it but I do enjoy playing it from time to time.

I know there are more but my brain fails me right now.

Anyway, care to reveal your guilty pleasures, if you will? Games that you still play despite their fail/ridiculousness/lameness just for the hell of it?

I like Yoshi's Story...

***Cosmonautical*** · 10-16-2009, 08:38 AM

Hunter: the Reckoning. It's like a crappy zombie version of Gauntlet, but I still think it's great coop play.

***Saria Dragon of the Rain Wilds*** · 10-16-2009, 08:54 AM

Lemmings.

Chaos Deviot · 10-16-2009, 10:15 AM

Dark Rift, War Gods, and Mario is Missing. I'd say Mario Party 6-8, but they were apparently popular enough compared to the first three.

The n64 has a lot of fighters...too bad most of them are junk.

**X-3** · 10-16-2009, 02:02 PM

Sonic Heroes.

Mostly because it's very awkward to play when someone else is in the room.

1-up Salesman · 10-16-2009, 03:12 PM

I love Sonic Heroes... it seems like most people hate the games that I think are decent.

Dizzy · 10-16-2009, 03:16 PM

^I liked Sonic Heroes. I also liked Shadow the Hedgehog. Even thought they weren't as great as Adventure 1/2, it's still a pretty good way to blow a day or two.

Robotazy · 10-16-2009, 03:17 PM

Glover.

F**king balls.

***Ace Mercury*** · 10-16-2009, 04:03 PM

Chrono Cross.

Oh, wait, Nintendo games?
Cobra Triangle - This is the most ridiculously hard game that I had the misfortune of wanting to finish. I had to resort to using an emulator and save-stating every couple of seconds to get past some of the later levels.
Zombie Nation - This is a sh'mup You are a head of a ghost samurai, shooting eyeballs and vomit.
Donkey Kong Country 3 - The series really went downhill from here. Dixie's cool enough, but the baby character was offensive to the senses. And then, there's a brazillion different trinkets to collect, all of which involve jumping down every bottomless pit to see if there's a stupid barrel or a stupid jumping sequence with clumsy footing.
Quest 64 - Everyone really reams this as a bad RPG, but I don't really have bad memories of it. The worst/most ridiculous part was training my stats, so I'd be going to low-level areas and get pummelled by weak creatures to train my defence stat. I'd switch over to some TV show and just hit confirm for fifteen minutes, checking to see if my character's dead every commercial break.
Super Princess Peach - More like Super PMS Peach, amirite?

CuccoLady · 10-16-2009, 06:04 PM

^ Oh, I forgot Super Princess Peach.

1-up, I play these games because I do enjoy them, it's just that compared to other games the gameplay, story, characters, and just overall quality isn't phenomenal.

Yoshi's story is enjoyable, but if you put it next to something like Super Mario 64, you'll see where I'm getting at.

Then again this is all just opinion anyway, so whatever. Just a list of games I still play despite feeling that compared to a lot of games out there, they aren't exactly the cream of the crop.

Hmm... I play Yoshi's Story every now and then. Trying to get all 30 melons in every level is a bitch and a half. Aside from that, I can't think of any retarded games I still play. But I know I'll remember something eventually.

UND I DID

Lemmings Paintball, which was some stupid PC game featuring lemmings... only instead of safely guiding them to the end of the level like normal Lemmings games, it was an isometric overhead game where you controlled a platoon of lemmings and tried to take out enemy lemmings using paintball guns while avoiding getting hit yourself. I haven't played that in forever, though.

Baldies. PC RTS where you play as the bald men, seeking to defeat the evil haired-ones. The enemy cpu always manages to engineer a disease and pretty much kill your units as soon as they step outside because they're then somehow prone to immediate infection.

Luigiman7 · 10-17-2009, 03:02 PM

mario kart wii

damn game

***Marilink*** · 10-17-2009, 03:20 PM

Super Princess Peach was actually really fun for me. Easy, but fun. I also love DKC3, even if it doesn't really live up to the first two.

Metal Mario · 10-17-2009, 04:17 PM

I've always thought DKC 3 was the best of the trilogy.

Vgfian · 10-17-2009, 04:20 PM

Sonic heroes and Shadow were pretty enjoyable for me as well..

The one I can think of right of is Digimon World 3.
Alot of critics seem to hate it, but I like it quite a bit.
But its not on a nintendo system though.

**Valigarmander** · 10-17-2009, 05:24 PM

^^ HEATHEN

I thought DKC2 was the best (and I think most agree). I'd put DKC3 in second, and DKC in last (the game set the ring up for the series, but on it's own it just seems kind of... stale).

Metal Mario · 10-17-2009, 06:15 PM

The original Donkey Kong Country is good, but it lacks the variety, complexity, and challenge of its sequels.

***Marilink*** · 10-17-2009, 08:23 PM

DKC3's problem wasn't really its gameplay as much as its atmosphere. It might have been AI that once described it as if Smokey the Bear took over the world in between DKC's 2 and 3.

And Kiddie was pretty dumb.

But other than those two overlook-able aspects of the game, I love it.
