10 Video Games That Are So Bad, They're Actually Good

[@PirateJacques79]

'Enviro Bear 2000' seems like the odd one out on list. Being both A) Intentionally bad. And B) Good, actually.

[@StageRight123]

I had never heard of it, and I totally want to play it.

[@CrowTRobot]

Yeah it's in the same boat as Goat Simulator. They knew what they were making.

[@michaelplatt1959]

[@MeNoSpeakJibberish]

South Park 64 deserves an honourable mention. Its so bad in many ways but so fun at the same time

[@joshzumstien6289]

I actually remember renting that with my buddies in high school and laughing pur asses off in multi-player mode 😆

[@MeNoSpeakJibberish]

@@joshzumstien6289 It was full of laughs, theres the cow launcher, snowballs you can pee on and turn yellow. Wish they would make a modern version with the new characters and better graphics

[@StageRight123]

I used to have Night Trap for the SegaCD. I compiled a list of exact times that you would need to trigger a trap in each different room for the vampires. Later in the game, there's a sequence of rooms that you need to jump to within a second of each other, in order to trigger the trap in time. I beat the game with triggering ever trap perfectly, and saving all the girls. My other SegaCD grand achievement was beating Dragon's Lair flawlessly with zero deaths. It takes 11 minutes to beat the game if you never die.

[@lmcgregoruk]

I could probably of done Night Trap writing down the times, but Dragons Lair seems to randomly decide if my inputs were A. The correct input, or B. Input at the correct time.

[@frankiestein4873]

Nice friggin jop, op!

[@kieranstark7213]

Another Sega CD with a female stereotype (Amy Rose) that drags it down from greatness is Sonic CD (a game which I respect more than I like. It’s graphics), and Night Trap really does feel like it has that typical misrepresentation of teenage women (re: damsels in distress and screamers in other ways), or as I’d like to call them, you guessed it, “Amy Roses”. And while it may be an offensive representation for me, I can at least understand their appeal, which in this case, is retro appeal. Ah, the mid-1990s was a time to be alive.

[@asurlybarber3620]

Garfield Kart cured my sister's heroin addiction, got me a promotion at work, helped me lose forty pounds, and will soon help me get elected city councilman.

[@frankfort4717]

[@SlapadelicMusic]

I was around 10 when I rented Superman 64 and hated it so much I walked back to Blockbuster to return it lol

[@somebodynowhere]

I remember at some point on the internet seeing a video of Night Trap that edited together the FMVs into a seriously fun teen horror movie

[@masterbspace]

And yeah I unironically loved Superman 64 as a kid. I just enjoyed flying around using my imagination

[@Gruntvc]

So, "games" like: Night Trap, Corpse Killer, and Plumbers Don't Wear Ties get remasters. But neglected great games like: No One Lives Forever 1&2, Aliens Vs Predator 2, and Goldeneye 64 don't. Strange times...

[@dbone3356]

Goldeneye 64 wasn't?

[@tmawd20]

Goldeneye was remade on Xbox.

[@yourgameisstupid]

Goldeneye 64 was popular and successful and everything, but it's a pretty bad game. Seriously, the gameplay is atrocious and I'm not willing to give it a pass just because it was on console.

[@alexhobbs1208]

The difference? Bond and AvP are IPs that exist outside of video games and thus the legal side of things are a bit more murky

[@dbone3356]

@@yourgameisstupid Goldeneye was great. Are you high? It doesn't hold up now, graphically, and the controls sucked knob, specifically the one thumbstick knob, but even despite those huge flaws. It was still *suuuuuper* fun. Not not mention revolutionary for it's time.

[@loganmarcum4495]

I was definitely expecting The Town with No Name to be on this list, as it’s basically The Room of video games, but sadly no luck

[@dbone3356]

So #3 isn't "So bad, it's good" so much as "Horrible but nostalgia boner."

[@yourgameisstupid]

My first thought was Two Worlds. The voice acting alone is enough to make the experience entertaining. In fact pretty much everything about the game is just off, but that also makes it interesting to explore (especially since the game puts no barriers on where you can go and what you can do).

[@homeaccount5943]

I agree with this.

[@thochaos13]

I played the hell out of this on 360. So janky, but something about it kept me coming back. I remember getting completely lost after losing my teleport stones and not being able to progress.

[@troydorr3453]

I remember playing "night trap"!!! HAHAHA! It really was god awful, but at the time I thought it was awesome!! Like ALL Sega CD games there was absolutely no real controls. Other than the directional pad, and hitting one button. Ohhhh, the memories... how nostalgic! I honestly haven't thought about that game pretty much since the last time I played it.

[@residentevilclone]

I played it this year and I couldn’t wrap my head around the intent. You get no grasp on the story, you don’t really get to watch any of the scenes, and winning basically requires either a) A guide or b) watching it over and over again until you memorize it. Horrible.

[@TrevorSturman]

Ah Superman64, do you guys still have the copy I sent you back in your Vidiot days?

[@dbone3356]

So it takes Tiny Peter an hour minimum to eat a burger and fries. Makes sense. As he *is* so tiny...

[@markerikson7423]

sneak king is actually different depending on the generation of the console you put the disc in

[@kellinwinslow1988]

Sneak King is so weird it's funny. Remember going to Burger King with a friend when it first came out. So bizarre. The King should be in Smash Bros.

[@icravedeath.1200]

Didn't it have that wierdly unique feature where the game was both an Xbox 360 and of Xbox game on the same disc?

See, I was 17 when Superman 64 came out (I refuse to call it by its real name) not 7, so I'm happily free from nostalgia goggles and can say that I rather chew battery acid drenched glass shards then ever play that game again 😀

[@mathewm6294]

Lol it's like when these Gen Z kids try to tell me the first 2 GTAs were "great game." I was in high school when that came out, I remember how people put up with the controll scheme and the top down view just to play it!

[@milksheihk]

Did they forget to animate the tail rotor on the Helicopter in Ride to Hell?

[@sonicguyver7445]

Honestly with Sneak King I don't see any room to complain. It's the equivalent of a Happy Meal prize. The fact I works when you put it in the system doesn't crash the hardware, and doesn't just give you a screen of people laughing at you for trying to play it at all are all points in its favor. Plus the ad campaign it was based on I always thought was funny. The first ad where the King is standing way out in a guy's yard then is suddenly at his window when he looked away for a second was funny. Even how he didn't just give someone food, he always used his other hand to present it to the person.

[@tmawd20]

"Critics are usually pretty spot on when reviewing video games..." LOL.

[@vargknight]

That was the funniest moment of the video. Can't tell if intentionally so or not

[@ArminAwesome]

I absolutely love Superman 64. Its ugly as hell, broken beyond belief and sooo wunderfully random with its glitches. You'll never know what is going to happen when you start a level.

[@Nov-5062]

I'm glad it didn't appeared on the list. This game has a lot to offer, and it deserve to have a better reputation.

[@justrok79]

I loved Duke Nukem Forever. I struggled and suffered through the loading times and mediocre gameplay, but it was exactly the game I expected. I'll never replay it, but I'm happy with it in my collection.

[@residentevilclone]

It’s so weird that it got destroyed like it did. I thought it was totally average, and nothing stood out as offensively bad. Duke Nukem sense of humor just didn’t land in 2010+.

[@lmcgregoruk]

@@residentevilclone Loading times only seem to be long on Console, I mean it took forever to load on my Xbox 360, but the Steam version is pretty fast. Also I killed the underwater monster thing by freezing it(and myself) with one shot, before it got patched because apparently they never though somebody would use the freeze gun underwater?

[@jamalhailey1962]

When he read the title of the video he even can't believe he's even saying it lmao

[@lembukambing9691]

I'm glad that the video didn't include something like Hatred as it is more offensive than "bad".

[@Nov-5062]

Definitely. People completely misunderstand the term "so bad that it's good" and just throw whatever they feel like into those lists.

[@masterbspace]

So I actually bought duke nukem forever at full price lmao. A few months later I saw it at Best Buy for sale for 4.99 and still wasn’t sold out lmao

[@thochaos13]

I bought it on PS3 and PC. I hope I didn't pay full price for either copy.

[@Incuensuocha]

I did the same. After playing for 30 minutes I was like “what have I done?” And then I saw the bargain bin a few months later. I felt so stupid.

[@StageRight123]

Wait, what? I 100% expected Goat Simulator to be number 1 on the list.

[@theangryholmesian4556]

To be fair: Goat Simulator was deliberately intended to be "so bad it's good) (and they succeeded.) On the other hand many of the games on this list were made in all seriousness.

Dude that Burger King one was Essentially a happy meal prize for grown-ups. Yet it still managed a 54 on metacritic.

[@Macephtopheles]

Wait, what... no Surgeon Simulator..? 🤨 Pretty much the whole reason the game reviewed so well is because critics went to lengths to explain how it was so bad it was good and that (because the controls/physics of the game are so difficult/awful) everyone would/should get a good laugh out of fumbling through the surgery like Stevie Wonder. If Enviro-Bear 2000 counts then Surgeon Simulator absolutely should...
