  I wasn't referring so much to RPGs en mass but more jrpgs, like final fantasy, like dragon quest. Grinding is either something you like or you hate, what I'm saying is if that's your opinion that's fine, but it doesnt make it objectively bad. I agree that there are a lot of cut scenes which can be ott which is why I prefer vii and earlier, because they added to the story then. I'm not trying to change your opinion, I just want to Justify that it's just an opinion not that it's some game that was badly programmed or had a plot that made no sense.

  Bad games, i've played quite a few of them, (more of them when i had the ps2 and got more games because i got them cheaper pre owned)
  Predator Concrete Jungle sticks in my mind as being particularly bad not really any redeeming qualities for that one.
  I think of recent times (ps3 era) i would the worst i've played would have to be the lost game(unbelievably generic and awkward)
  Duke Nukem Forever, had a ridiculously long production and they still couldn't make a good game.

  Actually the company who finally released Duke Nuken Forever was only making it since the release of Borderlands so 2 years topps. The original company who set out to make it got hooked on World of Warcraft and gave up.
  
  But i take the point that it was not a good game.
  
  If you want a really old school game that sucked i'd have to say DAly Thompsons Decathlon for the Spectrum zx128k it was all about mashing 2 buttons as fast as you could and then at the correct time hitting a 3rd button.

  Oh i didn't realise that Duke Nukem swapped hands in production i thought they just took a stupidly long time to develop, still seems like they could have made a better game in two years but there you go.
  
  That old game sounds terrible lol, i played one for ps3 like that was similar gameplay wise actually it was a athens olympics game i think(it wasn't recent) but basically it required you to hammer your controller buttons and analog stick (traded it in very quickly, wasn't very fun or entertaining, and i didn't want to ruin a controller)

  Lemmings a bad game?
  
  The original Lemmings on the PC was amazing for it's time, not sure about the Specrum conversion though, and the PSOne 3d version was very pants

  It was done by the Borderlands team, they should have stuck to Borderlands 2 which would have been out by now if they hadn't made Duke

  I agree with duke nukem, what a shit fest. Such a dissapointment, but as you guys say it's unsuprising considering all the changes of hands. Lemmings makes me think of another game that's been dissapointing, worms. Ever since worms armageddon, it's all been a let down.

  Oh right seems the Borderlands team didn`t put all that much effort into it, speaking of, what is Borderlands like anyway? i heard it was a similar style of game to Fallout, although i imagine with far less bugs and glitches than Fallout (which if i`m totally honest, only manages to avoid being considered a bad game to me because when it`s working and you can actually enjoy it it`s excellent and very inventive with all the unique side missions)

  Borderlands is good, but to really enjoy it you should be playing it with 3 friends, the only issue there is that Gamespy is used to host it making it almost impossible to play multiplayer. I have 6 friends who own it and only one of us (out of 7) can successfully host a game!!!!!
  
  Other than that it's fine, well it's a bit short but it's fun to play

  Might have to get Borderlands then, sounds interesting and it did look good ages ago just could never decide (i'll now add it to my increasingly long list of games i can't afford but want to get lol) i'm guessing the multiplayer is one of them that very good despite the connection issues (always wondered why they didn't implement some sort of system like that with Fallout, it would be nice to have an allie who didn't get stuck behind a small rock and wander in front of your fire constantly)
  seems borderlands avoided that particular issue.
