Have you ever played a game so bad that it hurt you? Talk about it here, I'll start.
Redsteel is a game made by Ubisoft for the Wii in 2006 and I played it last summer. It is absolute garbage, with bad motion controls, inconvenient checkpoints, and every f*cking control is attached to shaking the nunchuck up and down.

I think Evergrace for the PS2 is the worst for me. It's not the most egregious game, but it invoked an apathy that I've not felt since. I've played games that looked worse, controlled worse, and sounded worse, but Evergrace is just so meh that I couldn't care less about it.
If we're talking frustration, the first time I played Demon's Souls was bad, but I learned to love it. I'd give the "why did they make this so difficult" award to Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure for the Genesis. It actually looks nice, but heaven help me it is not fun to play. If anyone has actually beaten this game, let me know how you did it.

Nobody here should be surprised to see my vote for Mega Man X6. Smoldering pile of shit, that one. MagnaCarta 2 and Paper Mario: Sticker star have also earned my eternal scorn. But there is one game that managed to be worse than any of those: the completely massive disaster that was SimCity 2013... the online-only city-building game that was rendered completely unplayable by server issues. And of course, once those were somewhat resolved, the game itself was a broken mess that only allowed you to build a village. I wasn't merely cheated by EA, I was freaking robbed. 🤬

I can't really think of many terrible games--some personal huge disappointments--but actually bad in terms of game itself? I vaguely remember a fighting game on the Wii dad and I tried that I just had to look up the title of--that's how much that sucker stuck. Legend of the Dragon. I don't remember much about it because we barely played it because it wasn't good. Bland fighting as I recall and sequences that were bad about breaking the flow of the fight and waggle motion controls just to top it off. Never even tried the single player story mode.

Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude
Not like the other Leisure Suit Larry games... It just puts in stupid and not funny mini-games all the time. Played maybe 20 minutes until I realized that this is basically the game... Retired it right after that.

The holy trinity of awfulness, because I couldn´t pick just one:
Kentucky Route Zero - for being the most pretentious game I´ve ever played
Assassin's Creed Unity - for being the buggiest crap that ever graced my PC
Dear Esther - for being so incredibly boring that I feel asleep "playing" it

Two games come to mind from my recent gaming experiences...
Final Fantasy II, because of the gameplay mecanics. EVERYBODY knows what I'm refering to. The story and music was great and pushed really hard to like the game. Ended up retiring it 15 hours into it.
Hyper Light Drifter, because it has a useless maps, no directions, NPCs are useless. You have no idea what items are for. Wanted to like it but abandonned the idea after 2-3 hours. This is the game that I retired the quickest in all the games I've played. I really liked the music and artstyle but the gameplay killed it for me.
Honorable mention for Castlevania: The Adventure on GB. I don't even understand why it was made.

*checks retired list*
Gimbal - because it has horrible physics and is all about building a custom ship and flying it about with really bad physics - so frustrating
Nuclear Throne - because I really love twin-stick shooters but this one had terrible gamepad controls as it was primarily designed for mousey keys - they should have just not supported gamepad at all and I wouldn't have been sucked into giving it a go and wrestling with some of the worst controls in a twin-stick I've found in a long time
PaRappa the Rapper - just a terrible game with completely broken mechanics - even the remaster is an absolutely terrible experience
Spacebase DF-9 - had a lot of promise but was abandoned during development despite having massive game breaking bugs - being abandoned in an unplayable state after taking people's money is kind of a shitty thing to do

Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse, nothing compares to it. An arpg released in 2001 for the ps2 that has two button combat(stab and shoot), it expects you to grind in a dungeon for 400+ hours. Check out my review if you're interested ;). Honestly the worst experience I've ever had and I've played alot of stinkers.

Should have replaced the A with a J, then the length / repetitiveness would seem normal.

A message to all of you: play Tomb Raider Underworld for PlayStation 2. An absolute garbage that even makes Angel of Darkness good.

Well, I could name a bunch of obscure titles few if any, have heard of.
But recently, there was a discussion about The Getaway on PS2 that got me thinking. So I'll talk about this game.
It was hyped like you wouldn't believe, supposed to be some sandbox game similar to GTA, but taking place in Soho, London, and where you played a cop.
What I remember is that it was massively hyped and supposed to really be some kind of killer title.
Well, it wasn't.
Driving around town was just boring, and there was almost nothing to do.
Now, there was gratuitous violence and nudity true, but honestly the game's camera and controls were so god awful, I actually once got stuck in a small room that had one exit. I literally could not find my way out.
When the character walked, he did this weird little stutter animation sometimes that I'm sure was not supposed to be there. No seriously, the controls were trash.
Lumpy, ropey, unresponsive.
The camera did it's level best to piss you off constantly.
This double whammy was pure hell in gunfights.
Truth is, this game was rushed badly, and needed several patches. But this was before patches were the norm.
Also, the game did get better in the second half, but the damage was already done.
I've played many objectively worse games, but few games have had so much hype surrounding it, only to deliver such a shitty gaming experience.

TRU for PS2: Check
Working PS2: Erm... ask in 24h again...
Haven't played the PS2 version yet and your claim that it's worse than AoD really wants me to see how they could manage to make a TR game worster than AoD... I mean... how?! That would mean it's the worstest TR game...

Somehow I find this very hard to believe, given how TAoD, even with all the patches on PC, was still a torturous adventure to get through. I can't imagine how much worse the default PS2 version would be. How does Underground on PC compare to its supposedly dreadful PS2 port?

All Our Asias (PC)
Lair (PS3)
Wheels of Aurelia (PC)
The Legend of Kage 2 (DS)

The Quiet Man. That game is just a mess from top to bottom. I bought it under the assumption it would be a "so bad it's good" kinda thing, but nope, it's just bad. Subpar combat, early seventh-gen looking character models, and a story that makes no sense whatsoever even if you play it a second time with the audio added in like I did for some stupid reason. It's gotta be the worst thing Square Enix has ever put out.
