looking up the bottom ten rated games on steam
xyzzy
10: GASP
xyzzy
A paid teaser for the dev's future game, Secluded
xyzzy
which never released
xyzzy
so you pay 3 dollars to walk around on mars or the moon doing nothing
xyzzy
oh wait it's free but mars is $3
xyzzy
9: Godus
xyzzy
An early access god game that's been abandoned by its devs
xyzzy
Mobile interface on a steam game. described as a cheap toy that got inspired by f2p mobile design
xyzzy
8: Rollercoaster Tycoon World
xyzzy
Appears to be downvoted for being a shoddy bug-ridden incomplete mess, but it seemsthe game behind all those bugs and missing features is okay.
xyzzy
7: Kinetic Void
xyzzy
Game that showed a lot of promise during early access, but then just suddenly announced early access was over and it was complete without fixing anything.
xyzzy
6: O2Jam Online
xyzzy
Hoo boy. A port of a popular Korean rhythm game with some problems like
xyzzy
"Doesn't work"
xyzzy
"Is a port of an unrelated mobile game and not actually O2Jam"
xyzzy
and "You pay $1-3 for a song and you only get it for a month then you have to buy it again"

oh i actually saw a video recently about o2jam online

The Death of the WORST Rated Steam Game | O2Jam Onli...
xyzzy
yeah that's what got me looking at this list actually
xyzzy
5: Spacebase DF9
xyzzy
Surprised to see Double Fine on this list. Basebuilding management game that is also broken abandonware. Seems like the best way to make the bottom ten is to release a game without finishing it.
Dragomorph
yeah that one's a little infamous in that regard
xyzzy
4: Identity
xyzzy
Kickstarted pipe dream Absolute Freedom MMO that's so feature-thin that most of the reviews call it a scam.
xyzzy
no updates in the last five years.
xyzzy
3: Uriel's Chasm
xyzzy
Something more interesting! It's a top-down space shooter where you badly shoot asteroids while an anime girl reads you bible quotes.
xyzzy
2: Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction
xyzzy
A car driving game that I'm struggling to understand the mediocrity of. Cars are stuck to the ground. Bad controls, bad graphics, bad gameplay.
xyzzy
"I support global warming so Team6 studios in the Netherlands sinks faster into the ocean"
xyzzy
1: War of the Three Kingdoms
xyzzy
I can't get a super clear image of it because it's a Chinese game but it seems to be the most pay to win PVP MMO of all time.
xyzzy
described as "Even more disgusting than Tencent"
xyzzy
One reviewer noted that the game had 8% positive reviews and described that as bafflingly high
xyzzy
"It takes about $10,000 to barely play this game"
xyzzy
Someone posted a review so negative that it's a shade above the "This i not a place of honor" nuclear waste warning, and they posted it in five languages just to make sure
DoveEaterXC
incredible
xyzzy
more fun with O2Jam:
xyzzy
- Most beatmaps are up to 2 seconds offset from the song
xyzzy
- The offset config doesn't work
xyzzy
- They spelled 'BPM' wrong
xyzzy
- The graphics menu has an option called "GRAPHIC" that you can turn on and off. It doesn't do anything
Vehrec
as I recall the problem with DF9 is that it just ran out of cash
Vehrec
it had a tiny kickstarter that barely raised 100k
Vehrec
oh wait no kickstarter at all
Vehrec
it just ran out of funds and early access wasn't covering it anymore so they stopped development
Vehrec
they couldn't afford to pay 12 people to develop the game, so development stopped.
✶ 天才的なIDOL様！
the "GRAPHIC" option reminds me of sonic adventure 2's file select
✶ 天才的なIDOL様！
where when you picked your save file it just popped up with a dialogue box that said WARNING and nithing else
✶ 天才的なIDOL様！
apart from the ok/cancel/delete options

Iirc the big controversy with DF9 was that they announced they were dropping the project right after a bunch of people bought it in a steam sale
xyzzy
you can still buy it
Dr. Min▲zuki
"badly shoot asteroids while an anime girl reads you bible quotes" honestly sounds like something that should have had an audience
連続犬
iirc, DF9 also came out at some point during the glacial progress of Broken Age - and was kind of seen as a "oh shit we overscoped we need more money" grab
連続犬
and as a result is a footnote in the long list of Kickstarter Heartbreaker shenanigans
bird time
You know
bird time
I bet we could make the new worst game on steam
xyzzy
the thing is you need a lot of eyes on your product to get in the bottom ten
xyzzy
if you just have one review and it's negative, that isn't counted as worse than having 95% bad reviews with 1,000 reviews
bird time
True
xyzzy
to get bottom spot you have to take something beautiful and ruin it
bird time
I don't want this honor badly enough to commit Kickstarter fraud for it
