The worst game I played this year was probably Remember Me. Just dreadfully dull, which is a shame because it had potential.

I've been finding myself repeatedly nodding with agreement to your posts.

I don't really like this thread, something about targeting a game as worst seems really destructive and cynical, but I think I was most disappointed by Remember Me. It had a lot of potential, and there are things about it that I did enjoy quite a bit, but it just had a few too many missteps for me to be able to slug through it. The combat mechanics were really interesting, but they didn't quite go hard enough in the direction they were leaning. The character was a cool choice, but they didn't do anything particularly special with her. It was pretty, I guess. But pretty environments don't amount to much when there's no interesting fiction happening in them. It's kind of interesting how many of these feelings directly apply to BioShock Infinite.

It's a pleasure to be so...agreeable, I guess. Also if I hadn't been posting that previous comment on my phone I would have said similar things to you about Remember Me. The memory remix mechanic is definitely my "Most Sorely Underused Mechanic of the Year".

Wow, I completely forgot about that part of the game. Those scenes were totally underutilized. Such a cool idea.

So after thinking about it I think the game I was most disappointing in this year was Anarchy Reigns.

Mario and Luigi Dream Team. Or as I call it: Mari and Luigi: Tutorials. That might be the most boring game I’ve ever played, that or Skyward Sword.

I found that Mario and Luigi actually got pretty good as it went along. The pacing was definitely weird as new mechanics got doled out one at a time over a long period instead of mostly at the start (which was the main reason that the "tutorial" feeling lasted for so long) but the variety of enemies and their "tells" was probably the best in the series. I tended to only play for an hour or two at a time but I was eventually happy with the game.

I generally liked it. But what about those tedious QTE-laden giant boss fights? Those almost made me not want to continue playing the game.

Off the top of my head it would be Aliens: Colonial Marines. Super boring, bad A.I. and uninteresting plot. It was all bad.

The worst game i played in 2013? Well it didn't come out in 2013, but i'd say Dead Island.

Played it, it was OK, up till the second area, i got to the city, did one sidequest. Then anytime i interacted with ANYTHING (NPC, door, ladder, crafting table, ANYTHING) the frame rate would go single digits, the screen would get all blurry, electric sounds and my dude grunting. Then I'd die. Pretty damn awful.
