Worst videogame related gift.

[Bobbybroccoli]

Since I can safely assume that because you post on a forum on the internet about videogames, you know a thing or two about videogames.

I can also assume that you've had really ignorant relatives/friends who don't know s**t about videogames.

Therefore, I ask you to name the worst game/console/controller/peripheral/etc..
. you ever got as a gift.

For me, I'd have to say Wipeout (not the sci-fi racer) is the worst game gift I've ever received.

Based on an already repetitive (after the first season anyway) reality show, this game had crappy graphics, physics, replay value, or anything of worth. This is my definition of "shovelware".

A gift is a gift, and I always managed to get hours and hours of enjoyment out of every game I had as a child, no matter how shitty I see they are when I play them now.

I got a wireless network adapter for my 360 from my aunt and it worked great until it caught fire.

I liked the Eyetoy... Although, probably only because I got mine for 99p.

And I don't think I've ever gotten a bad game related gift.
Mostly because I either tell people what I want to get, or I get toiletries and crappy stuff like that.

[Squidbit]

Gotta be the pack of add-ons for the wii controller.
Even though I have absolutely no games that could possibly use any of them.

Maybe because it was made in the early 2000's? Hurrrrrrrrrr.
It would have been an excellent gift years ago.

On topic:
As a kid, the grandma from my dads side of the family would get me about 50 games each christmas and birthday. The only problem was, they were all pieces of shit that are $1-$5 at most game stores. I have no idea how much I never played and almost never enjoyed any of them.

I've always enjoyed being given a game, even if bad. Just because it gives me something to do or to laugh at. But Two Worlds or NFS: Prostreet were most likely the worst.

Yeah you'd think that wouldn't you?

I wish my relatives gave me video game stuff. They know I like video games, but they don't talk to me about which ones I like, so all I get is money. It's not that money is bad, it just means it doesn't come from the heart then.

One if them wouldn't have happened to have been this, would it?

Nope. Fortunately.

HAHAHAHA YOU MADE AN IRONIC COMMENT BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW YOU LOVE PORTAL 2. HAHAHAHAHA! SO CLEVER AND ORIGINAL! HAHAHAHAHA!

[redfield95]

This is way before I started playing WoW, I got Wrath of the Lich King instead of the original WoW, and I was ticked when I tried installing it, but then I look at the cover, it clearly said "EXPANSION PACK" and "Requires Burning Crusade and a paid version of World of Warcraft."

When did I ever state this? Just because I own it does not mean I love it.

It may have been that time when you put it in your signature and kept referencing it and obsessed of it.

Just a hint.

Power Glove hands down. I got that POS for christmas one year and spent all day trying to get the thing to work right no luck.
To quote AVGN : "Too bad they were just jerking off."

[Rahmemhotep]

Used games that were broken.

A used copy of GTA:SA broke my PS2 I had bought with 100% my own money and it's the new type (new big type, not those piece of shit slims) so you can't fix the bitch unless you're pro. It's still here with me, looking depressed and pissed off at the GTA I got for my birthday years ago.

Fuck.

My dad bought Fatal Frame for me one time. I was shitting bricks all the way up until I put it in my Xbox and it didn't work at all. A year later or so, I found out that it worked on the 360, but I've only gotten around to giving a damn about it once.

Double fuck.

I remember that one year for Christmas my brother gave me his asshole of a PS2 as a present... I still use this hunk of circuits since my other PS2 is still broken, as I mentioned earlier. This bastard picks and chooses which games it wants to play, that being said, when I bought Phantasy Star Universe, I couldn't even play it due to the console and had to borrow my sister's shitty slim thing. I played Sakura Wars on it a couple times until it just fucking decided not to play it anymore. If it ever decides not to play any of my Silent Hill games, I believe it's going out the window, propelled by pure nerd rage.

Triple fuck.

Come to think of it, another horrible gift from my Father: A console repair disc. Yeah. I'm a fuckin' musician and I know almost 0 about how modern technology works, so when I asked him years ago when my PS2 broke to send it to a shop for repair, he comes to me a month later with a disc that is supposed to tell you how to clean and fix your own systems... I don't even fathom electricity. How is it a good idea for me to even open that thing? In fact, I didn't even know what to do with the disc lmao! I put it in the DVD player for fucks sake! I doubt if I ever used it that it would yield promising results. Besides, you know how it all ended, because my PS2 is sitting over there, missing some screws and with the case popped partly off.

Quadruple fuck.

You'd think I was done wouldn't you? Really I'm not, but I'm not going to put you through the torture of reading any more about this technologically retarded musician from bumfuck Pennsylvania.

Pentafuck.

My mother has gotten me some really crappy games in the past. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but when she got my brother and I crappy ass games like "Cars: Mater Racing" or whatever it was, I couldn't help but think that those were some of the worst gaming gifts I ever got.

[nintendofreak11]

Let's just say I returned what I got for christmas.

[AntiHero]

Someone gave me the High School Musical game for the Wii...(I have all three systems) At first I thought it was a joke gift and there would be some kind of gift card or maybe another game inside the case, but no they got me the High School Musical game as a serious fucking gift.

[RazorHawk]

Animal Crossing: Wild World. I can't fathom how anyone could like this annoying and pointless series. Played it a few times and became convinced the game was trying brutally hard to convince me it just didn't want to be played. Didn't take long for me to grant its wish. Definitely one of the worst games I've ever played.

Kinda this, unlike some people in here, I'm not some unappreciative little spoiled brat.

[Slug-Gunner]

LOL actually, this didn't happen to me, but it happened to a friend of mine.

Back in 2004 when Resident Evil 4 was hyped up, this guy asked his parents if they could get buy him that game for his birthday. Anyways, it also happens that before his birthday, his parents took a trip to Europe, so they got him a Resident Evil 4 PAL version instead of UNSC.

The funny part about this story is that he sold it to a 12 yr old looking kid for $50 XD

[MatthewF]

Poor kid. Seriously youd think people would already know about region codes.
