Jankiest games you have ever played?

[NecroLord]

What are some of the jankiest games you have played?
Include both rpgs and non rpg games.
It can be both the "good" kind of jank - the game has a certain primitive charm, or the "bad" kind of jank - game simply does not have redeeming qualities and is generally of a extremely poor quality.

I wouldn't call REDAXIUM games jank, but they feel to be made a little bit janky on purpose.

The bad:
Skout. I have no words, one of my early games played on PC and holy shiet it's so bad. Drone gets stuck everywhere, collision issues. Overall crap.



The good:
Valdis Story: Abyssal City. The game has this rigid movement and every action has certain weight to it. It's not super fluid and it kinda shows in time trials. But once you overcome this the game is a pure gem

After playing Soldier Of Fortune for years and ignoring the sequels, I finally decided this week to try them out.

SOF2 was ok... but not great.

SOF Payback is the epitome of shooter jank, holy shit is it bad. It's exactly the result of what you get when you outsource a known name to some unknown studios in Europe. I mean, I played and enjoyed the early Sniper Elite and Sniper Ghost Warrior games, and I love me a bit of jank, but god damn Payback crosses the line from charming to abysmal.

Yeah, I remember playing Payback.
What a grossly offensive piece of shit...
The gore is also really inferior to the original game, enemies just bleed like pigs when you shoot them and their body parts just detach themselves from their bodies.

Two Worlds

Brigade E5 - a lot of cool concept and ideas overshadowed by general jank. Each Aperion game was janky, but E5 was the most ductaped product.

Two Worlds

The PC vesion is janky... still played it more than Oblivion and Skyrim combined.

But PC version is one thing - there's Xbox 360 version that requires using console commands to tweak stuff and make it run better.
Rememeber first Pirania Bytes games on consoles? Them being ugly and running like shit? Same story with Two Worlds 1, no clue about Two Worlds 2.
Also one achievement was bugged and never fixed.

and who could forget speedun

It has split screen multiplayer. I remember playing it with friends.

Prelude to Darkness, Two Worlds and Vendetta: Curse of Raven's Cry are the ones that first came to mind, because I enjoyed all of them. I never finished PtD because the damned thing kept crashing on me, but I intend to rectify that soon.

When it comes to games I didn't enjoy, William Shatner's TekWar probably takes the cake. There are solo projects made by high school kids that are more well-made than that abomination.

 

[Fedora Master]

Actually played and enjoyed? Probably EYE.

 

[G.O.D]

The Guild 2 - It still was kind of fun.

Daggerfall - Don't need to explain this. Still good.

Worms Forts Under Siege. Top jank, but fun.

those dogs still haunts me in my dreams

 

[Lemming42]

Descent to Undermountain and Elder Scrolls: Battlespire both come to mind. I really want to like both, especially Battlespire, but they're unbelievably janky.

Possibly taking the cake is Space Bunnies Must Die!. I've never beaten this game because it's just a technical nightmare.


The video gives you a taste of it but nothing compares to playing it. Makes Redguard look like Tomb Raider.

 

[NecroLord]

Damn, how could I've forgotten about Battlespire?
Really cool premise and location, but the gameplay and the execution...
