'Fallout 3' for me, no question. I've never, ever hated any piece of entertainment with such a white hot passion as I hated Fallout 3. Spent years ranting about that piece of shit game.

I think the worst debacle should fit ME3 a lot more than DA:I felipepepe
While DA:I is easier to hate, no one walked away well from that with their ass intact.

Is the Witcher 2 eligible? Not that I'm going to change my vote from the game than must not be named, but I'm surprised. Perhaps it's not bad enough, but it's probably the 'RPG' I played the least of before quitting in disgust, out of all the legions of games since the beginning of time. Unless you count some crappy roguelikes or one of Vogel's remakes.
In these moments I don't understand anything anymore. I really and honestly loved playing TW2.

For me the opposite is true. ME3 was... well, it was ME3, and the ending wasn't good, but I didn't quite participate in all the rage.
DA:I however is the game that really buried Bioware, and frankly many future AAA games for me, since how much I loved the first Dragon Age. Inquisition is a disgrace!

DA:I was a massive success, and its not so much that its bad, its just that its not for us. It was made for subhumans and they love it.
ME3 was a debacle, NO ONE was happy with how that turned out, not even the biggest fanboys.

I can see how it's possible, but it's just not for me. They call it 'twitcher' for a reason, and my reflexes have atrophied to the point where it was just repetitive rolling around and being killed interspersed by slumber-inducing walking around. I preferred Witcher 1, and didn't manage to finish that, so part 3 is not on my shopping list.

Oblivion, f3, dragon age2,3 by a freaking mile. These "games" made me loose all the faith in humanity and gaming industry. But what made everything even worse is the "reviews". Holy shit I can still remember them saying how auto leveling was awesome and oblivion is a ruly next gen ultimate rpg and that f3 "captured the fallout spirit perfectly." As for DA 2/3 they were made by the same company that made Baldurs Gates FFS!! What da hell happened??

I think Ultima VI - WHAT IS A PALADIN, FAGGOT/CRASH ULTIMATE EDITION is worst from that list. Really, fucked up plot, fucked up combat, fucked up engine, fucked up everything.

I was going to say DA2 with the new options because of how much I hated it. DA2 and ME2 were like a 1-2 punch for me... but I actually picked up DA:I because it looked pretty and I figured it might be alright, like wanting a Big Mac even though you know it's not going to be good. I didn't manage to play more than an hour or two of it before wondering what I was doing with my life and shutting it down without looking back. I don't even like bitching about the game, it's friggin' awful. I actually managed to suffer through and finish DA2.

I actually forgot what was equally horrbile for me like DA:I in disappointment, rage, hate and vomit: Risen 2! I never thought geniousses like Piranha Bytes could sink so low as to make a pure console popamole pre-teen game designed for fun™! I hate it, maybe nearly as much as DA:I.
Fortunately, I feel Risen 3 while being not that much better gameplay-wise it was at least a great leap backward towards the Gothic-series when it comes to atmosphere, so I'm inclined to stay a PB fanboy anyway.

My pick is Kingdoms of Amalur since it's the only game and RPG that's made me numb with indifference about it.

If a game can't produce any emotions from you, happiness, giddiness, anger, hate or frustration then something is really wrong with it and there are games that are objectively worse than it, but they at least brought something out in me.

I actually prefer Witcher 1s combat. It isn't good, but it helped set it apart from other games. Also it gave you a bit of a detachment from the combat and let your mind focus more on the atmosphere, story and setting.

Oddly enough Amalur predated the single player MMO feel for DA:I (and presumably ME:A). EA's gonna EA.

Bah, newfags can't even hate properly nowadays. Half of the games ever released are "meh" and provoke nothing but apathy. Amalur is nothing next to the other games in the list.

I don't see Morrowind here ...

To be honest , TW2 is not that bad to deserve to be placed among games like DA:I , Gothic IV and ME3

Of course - I'd forgotten I'd even played it until this post! Not terrible, just terribly dull and uninteresting.

I now feel bad about suggesting Witcher 2 after the soul-searching dismay Joni Odin von Hassenstein is suffering from. Let's agree on Two Worlds 2 and have a group hug.

Confession: I never liked the Bard's Tale series...

I can't choose between Oblivion and Fallout 3. Its really hard....!

Oh, that's EZ to choose. You see, Oblivion only disgusted Morrowind fans (who nobody gives a fuck about), whereas Fallout 3 disgusted fans of the greatest RPG ever made, Fallout.
