Then I guess you can wait after all. It's these kind of plot twists that keep me on HLTB's forum and not playing $3 indie trash 🤷

Count yourself lucky you don't know what I'm talking about.

Welp... the 24h didn't worked out. Depression decided that I stay in bed most of the day and otherwise only vegetate in front of YouTube... Yay! Can anyone do something against those damn dumbnuts so that we get through this pandemic faster?

I might actually have a reasonable working PS2 already... I remembered that one of the defect PS2s had no obvious defect. And if not I should have at least enough spareparts to repair my PS2.
I'm actually sinking about recording and upload it so that those masochistic enough to watch it can watch it...

In this port, the stages are cut in an awful way. All the best looking open environments on the PS3 version (the one I played) don't exist on PS2. Instead, we have tight and long corridors with nothing to do (other than seeing the "checkpoint" message two or three times in a row) that look all the same.

The new content on this version feels rushed and unfinished, with some accessible and very easy to find out-of-bounds sections, lack of death animation in some places, and lots of bugs and glitches. I had to restart my progress twice, because the game allows very often to place the motorbike on a dead end.

Most of the cutscenes have disappeared, the controls are unresponsive, combat is weak, bad visuals, frame rate issues, fire on 2D...

Angel of Darkness is not a good game, I know. But I honestly think that Underworld for the PS2 is worse on every aspect.

🤔
Helvetica?

Not a designer, so... I've only spend an embarrassing amount of time to find the perfect coding font... It's a pain in the a** how many of those don't have umlauts and stuff... Oh sorry for having the audacity to include German string literals in my code... And thanks to VS for replacing those glyphs with those from Arial Unicode or whatever... a proportional font is what I absolutely wanted between my monospace font... 😭
And before anyone asks: I'm still searching... mostly due to that mentioned issue...

From my retirement notes:
The gameplay is the only terrifying thing about this game.

Okay... searching for fontspeak I only ended up in some Arial vs. Helvetica vs. whatever trench warfare and still couldn't make any sense of it.

Haven't finished the first level yet because I'm stuck but... well... all death so far were due to controls... So, yes... that would be at least comparable to AoD.
I've recorded a video but processing, YouTube account creation, uploading etc. has to wait till tomorrow... I've now an appointment on my ACNH island: Shooting stars and star fragment farming...

I see you are paying homage to our dearly beloved inventor of the internet and by default, his legacy of making porn (regardless of fetish) more available for all.

Easily Cheetahmen II!

Imagine any classic NES side scrolling action/adventure game from that era. Now picture in your mind what it would look and play like if it was unfinished with sluggish controls, terrible sound and awful game design and enemy placement to boot (amongst a few other irritating features).

Runner-Up tie goes to both Plumbers Don't Wear Ties (a visual novel game if made in an alternate, bizarre universe) and the infamous Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on NES - Good ideas marred by atrocious execution!

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


This is shortly up for me to play. I loved 'TR: Legend' and this is the next game by the same people, surely it can't be that bad? Will be on PC though.

Don't worry: TR Underworld for PC is a great game.
It's the PS2 port that is bad.

The worst game I've ever played would be Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China. I am a big fan of the AC franchise and played every game so i thought i'd try this game. I was so dissapointed and I think it is the biggest dissapointment of the franchise.(My opinion)

It's really hard to pick just one for me. But from the top of my head the title of the worst game I've ever played goes to SUPER DISTRO. Don't even try this "game".

Sorry for potato quality, but it's potato quality... I just have to figure out why the deinterlace didn't worked.

Thinking back, probably Mario is Missing! for the SNES.

Younger me expecting another exceptional platformer ended up with some crappy edutainmaint garbage.

It still haunts me.
