List of Video Games considered the worst ever[edit]

It is an opinion, may not be the worst for others. .::Imdaking::. ^{Bow | DOWN} 03:33, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I thought we had already had this on AfD; Delete WCFrancis 03:35, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • That was Games considered the worst ever (AfD discussion), which was copied&pasted to this article by Philip Laurence (talk · contribs). Uncle G 04:04, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep --Philip Laurence 04:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Delete as hopelessly POV and unencylopedic list of citations to people's personal opinions. MCB 05:03, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as set-in-stone POV.  Denelson83  05:14, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename -- List of Infamous Video Games, or something of this nature... --Mysidia (talk) 05:17, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak delete. Although infamously bad games are a borderline-significant part of video gaming lore (in the sense that not only have I heard of every game on the list, I've seen them discussed or referenced multiple times) there's no real possibility for outside confirmation. The fact that Big Rigs, Superman 64, etc, have their own articles is enough.Nifboy 05:25, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep for newly-created citations. Nifboy 20:14, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. POV. utcursch | talk 08:13, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep remove only info that can't be sourced. As a gamer, I'd say this article is incomplete but pretty accurate, all of these are known among gamers as examples of poor-quality games (which is a topic oft discussed among gamers, try a google for worst video game and you'll get zillions of hits). As long as it's backed up by a source, it isn't POV. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:11, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, like List of films that have been considered the worst ever. Kappa 10:37, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Maybe that should be VfDed too.... - the problem is that for movies you have widely recognised organazations that rate the movies. For video games you have many many organazations competing against each other with very different POVs - not only that but ratings of video games are largely era-based.

• Delete Hopelessly POV. Ryan Norton ^{T | @ | C} 11:20, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. We have an article on Computer and video games that have been considered the greatest ever. This article can be made to be NPOV by removing the blanket statements (gamers don't like this game because....) with sourcing to external lists and reviews by notable websites and organisations, as well as user polls. 216.12.32.242 12:13, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep and clean up. This article has content problems but there are citable sources for lists like this. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 13:16, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - very subjective, and anyway, the worst video games usually don't get properly distributed to begin with! --MacRusgail 13:34, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. The fact sources are cited saves this from getting a delete vote, but needs to be cleaned up. 23skidoo 15:37, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete The title and content are POV as they are now, if it was "The worst computer/video games ever according to critics" or what have you, that'd be different. Those games, especially Superman 64 are fairly well known in the gamer community for their horribleness. Karmafist 22:43, 24 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Please nominate that stupid film equivalent so we can get rid of that too. This serves absolutely no encyclopedic purpose. / Peter ^Isotalo 03:51, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, game reviews can go on the articles about the games. -- Kjkolb 04:24, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, the sourcing of the opinions saves it for me. Colin_Kimbrell 04:49, 25 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Many of the claims here are sourced, so the list is as valid as the list of the worst movies. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:37, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as per Andrew Lenahan Lectonar 08:40, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, it's verifiable and doesn't come under any point at What Wikipedia is not. ··gracefool |☺ 17:49, 26 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• keep please but maybe rename it not sure on that part Yuckfoo 05:32, 28 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There are equivalent lists for songs and movies, so why not video games? Chiphead 00:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep. Just make sure that there's different categories (and evidence) to demonstrate how the games are considered "the worst". The only surefire failure there is ET, cuz it's well documented. You'd need more support for the other list entries.--Madchester 00:11, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep & Cleanup as per Starblind.--Sean Jelly Baby? 00:15, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Partially sourced, but needs cleaned up to conform with Computer and video games that have been considered the greatest ever. --Meiers Twins 08:36, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above arguments. Punkmorten 17:04, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
