      What is the worst video game you've ever played?
      And why was it so bad?

      Caveat: must be game you've personally played.

        This is a rough one for me because it was a game I was very much looking forward to. We're gonna have to take the way back machine to 1999 and a game called Birth of the Federation. It was a civilization builder type game set in the Star Trek universe. Everything about it looked great but it had one major flaw; it was un-fucking-playable thanks to the anti-piracy shit they threw on it.

        They'd eventually patch it up properly and give it a decent UI overhaul making it a decent game but it was a long road to get there and this was back in the day when you had to track down patches and install them yourself after downloading them on your fucking dial-up connection.

          Bonus points: Link game to Metacritic.

          Star Trek (2013)

          Not the worst game I've played, I'm sure, but it's the first one that came to mind. Played with a friend and it was so just too bad to be forgettable. The writing was tepid, the acting was mediocre, the set-pieces were barely sets and hardly challenges, the combat came and went like a nervous virgin.

            Dragonriders: Chronicles of Pern

            You couldn't ride any dragons. It was largely just endless side quests. The controls were wonky.

            But the worst part, really, was the loading times. I literally once went and made lunch while waiting for something to load. The loading times are, hands down, why I never finished the game.

                      I could google and find out what that is but I won't. I will trust they are bad.

                        I mean yes, but no?

                        They've had some great games.
                        They've also had some really, really bad ones.

                            ET. Yes, I played it on the Atari 2600. My mom bought it for me as Birthday Present.

                            I never got past the first level, I'd fall into a pit and my counter would run out as I tried to head copter my way out.

                                            As Fortnite is considered a popular game, your 'mneh' should be more like:
