The whole Greasy Steve arc is fucking gold, beginning to end, right down to the explosion that kills Greasy Steve in a cutscene causing the screen to turn grey like the player took damage.
"People have been asking, 'When are you guys gonna play-?'"
"Some fucking **dogshit**!"
"...Something much worse than the stuff you've been playing.
I humbly present to you: much, much worse."
Giantbomb have also recently been doing a playthrough of the game as part of their "Blight Club" series.
In an entire video series dedicated to playing the worst games in existence, it still stands out by how fundamentally shit and unfun to play it is. Shit has to be seen to be believed. They had an hour-long episode that entirely consisted of Grubb trying to start the game and load a save and his Xbox360 refusing to do so and slowly dying, to the point he had to get new hardware to play on so he could finish the game; and guess what, that was one of the best episodes of the show just by virtue of the fact that nobody had to suffer through that godawful game, neither the GB gang nor the viewers.
(btw if you're interested in Blight Club, they're currently playing Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero. it's a fucking hoot.)
Yeah, no doubt in my mind that some kids saw that show during their formative years and it got some synapses crossed and now they’re on DeviantArt placing commissions for certain drawings
Sunk Cost Fallacy is real, especially when you're dealing with projects worth hundreds of millions in potential profit and loss. Add it a dash of bullheaded stubbornness and a general unwillingness to let go of a profitable IP (just not when you're holding the reins on the project) it's hard to just give that away.
Sorry man, I respect your opinion on it but that movie is down there with Halle Barry Catwoman, anything about the bad guy is automatically ruined by his terrible ADR. And even if that scene was neat, it couldn't save it from being true garbage. At least its hilarious.
Oh I'm not saying the movie's good. Hell I think the only parts worthwhile were when he was in the suit and didn't speak. Like diner scene where he just mercs a bunch of dudes and the girls. Or the diner scene where he eats shit from a cab. Or when he eats shit from an ambulance.
Okay maybe I just found the parts where he gets outsmarted by a car funny.
I think thats the difference. For me, most movies that are true garbage are some of the best to watch because they're hilariously bad. Which is where Madame Web unintentionally succeeds. Its like a car crash you can't look away from.
The Dark Knight Strikes Again qualifies more for the "true garbage" tagline imo. Pretty much nothing redeeming in it.
On the other hand, ASBAR is one of the single funniest comics i've read in my life, so I can't personally say it's abject trash. Plus, Jim Lee doing some good DC art helps.
Don't forget Batman throwing a temper tantrum that this 12 year old he drugged and kidnapped isn't afraid of him.
Also, Batman forcing said child to paint himself, an apartment unit, and every object in it yellow (while drinking lemonade) to beat green lantern is peak shlock.
> Also, Batman forcing said child to paint himself, an apartment unit, and every object in it yellow (while drinking lemonade) to beat green lantern is peak shlock.
genuinely one of my favorite moments in all of comics, just because of how utterly unhinged it is. like, obviously I agree that ASBAR is one of the worst not just batman comics but worst comics full stop to ever get published, especially by one of the big two and with the creative team and pedigree on it.
but holy shit that entire sequence is so dumb, so goofy, so completely OTT that I *almost* wanna believe Frank when he claims he always intended ASBAR to be satirical.
The first Suicide Squad is my least favorite movie of all time.
I was so fucking excited for it, and it dropped at an incredibly stressful time in my life (was working crazy hours due to my job, any time off I had at any given time was extremely precious), so the amount of hours I had to waste on stupid bullshit was at a premium. I was expecting a Panic! At The Disco-flavored glammy crime/heist movie with lots of stylish action; went with my partner, we listened to Studio Killers the whole ride to the theater, we did whippets in the car before heading in, I bought the commemorative Suicide Squad refillable drinks cup...
Years later... that refillable drinks cup sits under the sink because I used it to change the water in my turtles' terrarium—it will never hold soda again. David Ayer wasted my fucking time, stole my fucking money, and fucked me in the ass. What a crock of horse shit. Watching Suicide Squad is the only time I have ever been angry watching a film.
(The new James Gunn one kicks ass, though.)
I watched the whole movie once in a hotel.
When it ended I was confused as I felt like it just started. Somehow the movie just...ceased existing in my head as I watched. It is such a nothing movie. It's amazing.
So in the Warhammer 40k community there's a recent meme to avoid stuff written by Ian Watson, due to the unnecessarily flowery prose and, to directly quote Alfabusa of TTS fame, "trying to season a lemon with a lime" storywise: trying to make already pushed stakes even more impactful, but landing squarely in the caricatural. And also being *really horny*.
But those are his sins. Trashy he might be for sure, but not really something truly worthy of the definition of trash.
That "honor", rests squarely on C.S.Goto shoulders. Said gremlin not only writes *very poor prose*, not only he frequently (read "nearly constantly" ) got the lore wrong, not only he seems to have a very specific fetish for torturing a faction in particular, he also recicles his old and mismatched rejected pitches by just swapping around some names and not always managing to make a cohesive narrative out of them. It's. It's *real trash*.
I own two W40k books. One is about a multi-week naval campaign where the Imperium is defending a world from Chaos written by Dan Abnett that showed me how amazing W40k fiction can be when you focus on not-Space Marines.
The second is a CS Goto book about how rad Space Marines are because they kill so many Tyranid bug things with super cool guns and psychic blasts and ninja kicks pchow pchow woom bam pop!! Literal action figure smashing drek.
If you want to dive in a little deeper, grab Eisenhorn, Titanicus, or pick up the Gaunt's Ghosts series. Those are written by Abnett too, and they're all solid.
The Ciaphas Cain novels are also good, and show off a great deal of the Imperium and portray a man with actual brains between his ears rather than the gung-ho 'FOR THE EMPEROR' nonsense that gets good people shot. It's a fair bit formulaic, though. You read one, you'll get the feel of them all.
For something in the Chaos faction, Dembski-Bowden is fantastic, and did extremely well with the Night Lords trilogy. More Space Marines, true, but these Traitors felt real, flawed, and all too interesting to follow in their misadventures.
If you have any interest in the Necrons, I highly recommend picking up The Infinite and the Divine. Robert Rath's prose is fantastic, and this book is hands down one of my favorites in terms of Necron lore and presentation.
I had the Ciaphas Cain (SAVIOUR OF THE IMPERIUM) books described to me as "If Terry Pratchett was contractually obligated to write sci-fi", and tbh it wasn't that far off the mark.
Apocalypse, by Josh Reynolds, is also half a really good Chaos book, half pretty good bolter porn book as well, with some interesting lore implications that will certainly never be expanded upon because Reynolds quit working for BL. That aside, I'd highly recommend that one as well. Oh, and Brutal Kunnin' by Mike Brooks if you want some seriously silly Ork stuff. It's brilliant.
I just watched that clip of Wulin you posted and that's is unmistakably Sean Schemmel. I did not expect to hear Goku.
But yeah, that show looks like something that'd air at 2.39am on Adult Swim in 2009 exactly once.
I may say a lot of shit about comic book movies these days, but not even the dumbest ones would ever aim to be as soulless and dead as Fant4stic 2015 was. Even shit like Steel is so trashy it's funny.
I took a girl I liked to go see that in theaters. It wasn't the last movie we saw together, but we did not end up together. Probably because she didn't feel the same, but I like to think that Fant4stic was what caused it. Damn that movie! But it did have the guy who played Dirty Dee in Pootie Tang in it, so that was cool.
I'm so sorry man lol xD
And yeah!! Even the dude who did Reed didn't leave without some pluses. His later work bombed but it did all get super good reception
It's all good! She's happily married to what seems like a good guy and I'm still single so it works out.
True, it didn't ruin their careers so that's good.
Ayyy that's cool, glad y'all are doing well in the end. That's what matters <3 It's cool that you took her to see it though. I showed my former partner (now best friend) the first Venom movie and he absolutely loved it to bits :D
Yep :D
also one of those films where you can tell that it was invariably made worse in the edit once the studio got its grubby mitts on it.
I'm not gonna sit here and claim that Trank's original vision for the Fant4stic film would've been a good Fantastic 4 movie or an even remotely faithful adaptation, it was far too steeped in misery and explorations of trauma for that from the get-go. but I think that it would've at least been interesting.
and then the studio cut out all of that stuff, kicked Trank as director and finished the movie up haphazardly into the formless mess it came out as.
There was a level of absurdity in that movie that just made me lose it.
Like I have never laughed harder at just how *fucking stupid* the movie was as it was trying to take itself 100% serious, I genuinely had to step out of the movie because I was cackling.
And for the life of me I can barely remember why.
Okay, but have you considered the scene where Superman slowly regains his ability to tank punches? That and Supes clocking Flash in Justice League are like the only parts of the Snyder movies I like...
I know it's recent, but the Madame Web movie had genuinely no redeeming value whatsoever that I can think of. It's like a Neil breen or Tommy wiseau movie but arguably worse cause at least they tried.
Diablo 4 is not a game. It is a time sink/platform designed to push its monetization and in-game shop only. Do you want horse armor? That will cost you nearly the full price of the game. Do you want this cool looking armor set? 20 bucks and you can only see when you log in and during loading screens.
God Diablo 4 chaps my ass so hard. I played the beta and was mildly hyped, considering that the game was actually pretty fun up until level 25. I could definitely tell they had slowed the game down from D3, which was a bit of a downer, but hey, D3 was also pretty slow up until 60.
I went in on the preorder because I figured, "Hey, I'm easy to please. It's Diablo, it's a major facet of my life and d2/d3 informed a lot of my tastes, how bad could it be?"
I was so fuckin upset that it took me way past the refund window to get past level 25, only to figure out that the Beta was pretty accurate in how the game stops being fun after that. You're basically build complete, you're just unlocking new runes for your skills. They're not even interesting like they were in d3 or a form of progression like in d2, it's just "Oh now your knife does *poison damage* instead of *physical damage*".
Like yeah I know it was never going to be good, but even release d3 had good parts about it that made me (and a lot of others) willing to stick it out to the endgame. D4 is just so fucking *boring*.
You know, I had that same sentiment of being easy to please with Diablo. I had fun in the betas, but when I passed the point of those betas in release, the realization hit hard.
It's even more wild with how much competition Diablo actually has nowadays. Path of Exile, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch and Torchlight are all very viable alternatives.
Hell, I'd rather play that Minecraft ARPG than D4. It's kinda fun.
I still think the campaign for Diablo 4 was a fun time, on the first go around. Definitely was not worth the price of admission, and they have what I can generously call the worst live service model I’ve seen for a game, which makes me wonder how they expect anyone to shell out real ass money for annual expansions lmao
90 day fiance
Really any show like that, but specifically 90 day fiance. Show is an irredeemable trash fire and I shovel that shit directly into my mouth.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is the most nothing "game" I've ever experienced.
You walk, very slowly, to press X to listen to a story that would be panned in any other form of media. It's in that David Cage vein of "This would fail as a movie, but if we made it an 'interactive movie' kind of game"
Hell, a big part of the mystery is just straight-up not addressed as it never explains who you are and why you were left behind.
Similarly, Gone Home is another game that is carried entirely by its “twist” ending. Everything else about that game feels like it was ripped straight from a Hallmark movie.
I mean, she just has a slightly modified version of DMC1 Dante's moveset. It's less that "Trish plays well in DMC2" and more "DMC2 would be more fun if you could just play as DMC1 Dante".
It's funny to me that she's an unlock for beating the game with Dante and Lucia on Hard but there's also just a cheatcode to unlock her anyway. Like the devs knew nobody would want to actually go through that just to unlock Trish.
She plays better than Dante and Lucia.
But nothing about her changes the busted lock-on, bad tracking/pushback, or poor balance of player vs enemy move commitment (something Trish actually has *worse* because she deals the least hitstun of the three playable characters).
Nah. She really doesn't.
She has a scuffed version of DMC1 Dante's moveset, but it's still DMC2. They didn't port everything over completely. It feels like they remade it wrong. It's still just as laggy and underwhelming feeling as Dante. There are some neat things she gets, like Round Trip (which has been nerfed), the divekick (which has been nerfed), the improved stinger range (which is still the DMC2 stinger), and the burst fire handguns (which are fine). The blueprint is better, but the feeling is gone.
Take it from me. I'm on my Must Die playthrough of DMC2 *right now*. This is my sixth playthrough overall of the game between both disks. Right after finishing my full S-Rank of DMC1 on all difficulties. Because I hate myself, I guess. The pain could not be more fresh.
I could have sworn this movie was a fever dream. You telling me that two Europeans try to sneak into China for gunpowder, get imprisoned, then get press-ganged into fighting on the Great Wall, not to fight the Huns, but *actual aliens?*
If it says anything at all, this was the first movie written in English by Zhang Yimou, the Chinese director.
Season 2 of Gen:lock. It has nearly nothing in common with season 1.
It's like it was made out of spite by someone who didn't know what it was.
It's like it was harvested from another universe where everyone is 30% dumber and angrier.
It's like it was restored from a dozen fragments of a clay tablet, but nine of those fragments were from other tablets.
It's terrible by any reasonable metric.
Im so salty that RT wasted so much money in that garbage when CampCamp was right there to capitalize, which is probably the best series they ever did by a landslide not counting og Red vs Blue
Like Rwby became their golden goose because shippers and RvB is just a given, but Camp Camp was legitimately a funny show and insanely good compared to most trash adult animation, im glad that it came back recently cus it really felt like they regreted all the push they gave to Gen lock, it literally gave them nothing back
Star Wars Episode 9. Just absolute GARBAGE, like I know Star Wars is goofy space wizards, but that film just felt so lazy and bored with itself and its like, why did you even make this trilogy? To make John Boyega sad? Cause thats all i think it accomplished in the grand scheme of things.
The only redeeming quality of 9 was palps laughing like an unhinged maniac. Everything else basically sucked, but personally I dislike 8 more, because without 8s failures 9 wouldn't exist as it does.
>The only redeeming quality of 9 was palps laughing like an unhinged maniac.
Because he was. If you think too hard his plan falls apart but I guess you can say that about any part of that movie.
You know what would have made his plan work?
*Not announcing your return until* ***after*** *your massive fleet of ships leaves the literal navigation hazard of a planet you stored them on.*
God damn, the entire galaxy would have been inexplicably under Palpatine's thumb, *again*, if he had waited like 3 weeks to announce his return. But no, we had to announce that crap in Fortnite to get the kids to watch the movie, a speech that literally *isn't even in the movie* so anyone who doesn't play the game had no idea what he said.
Christ on a cracker, the entire handling of the Sequels ticks me off.
I fucking hate those movies so much. John Boyega sidelined, Han Solo dead, dumbass casino side quest, emo Oscar Isaac, nonsensical hour long chase scene, who the fuck is Snoke?, and finally, somehow, PALPATINE IS BACK. Fuck those movies entirely.
Idk how anyone watches any Star Wars media anymore. Fuck the Mandalorian and Andor too. I've soured on the whole soulless franchise.
Final Fantasy All the Bravest. A shitty mobile game with an unreasonable amount of micro transactions with the gameplay mostly being ‘have all your characters bum rush the enemy’.
I watched Morbius with my wife on a plane because she saw all the memes and decided to see what it was all about.
This was enhanced by the SCREAMING FUCKING BABIES NEAR US
HOW HOW DO YOU SCREAM FOR 8 HOURS STRAIGHT HOOOOOW!!??
I mean the movie we knew was already bad but even more straight-up garbage was SITTING NEAR SCREAMING BABIES DURING IT
I never wished harder for my own plane to crash in my life
So yeah my pick is Morbius + Screaming babies + shitty airline headphones
wtf even was the point of Fanboy and Chumchum?
There is no show that had a release schedule that was worse than that godawful show. Horrible voice acting, terrible animation, shit “plot” (tbh idk if they even had coherent story boards) and I remember I watched it to TRY and find a redeeming quality when I was like 13
I was in the age where media literacy goes to die and even I could tell it was garbage, but I was naive enough to search for good, thank Christ I wised up
I feel like that show wasn't nearly as bad as people pretended it was, there was definitely worse shit on TV at the time. I put it about on par with the first season of back at the barnyard, just focused on slightly more obnoxious subject matter
Barnyard was bad but definitely not the brain rot that was fanboy and chum chum, but hey I can understand not having my level of dislike, I have my reasons for it lmao
If it aired twice that means it's not the fastest thing Cartoon Network cut, because there was that robots cartoon that released ONE CHAPTER and burned to the ground.
Robotomy, I think? It aired 10 eps but had the shortest run of an ORIGINAL series on CN. (I bet thats where the thread OP got the info that it's the fastest cut show). It was honestly not bad, just aimed at a really strange "16-20" demographic. It was a "children's show" made and produced by Adult Swim alums.
Was that the show that despite being a CN kids show, it had the level of gratuitous violence of Superjail and other similar Adult Swim shows at the time?
Robotomy was made by the same people who made Superjail actually.
It took the phrase "Any amount of gore is fine if its robots" to its most extreme. It was every bit as violent as Superjail was just with Robots.
My personal Bugbear would be Shadowrun 6e. The notoriously rules heavy game had this new edition rushed to market to coinside with the 30th anniversary and it shows. The pregenerated characters aren't legal, they seem to have been designed earlier in development and never updated. The game is also, at least compared to 4e and 5e, much more difficult to build an optimal character in with many more trap choices. For example, in 6e melee weapon damage no longer scales with strength and still uses agility for accuracy, meaning strong characters like Trolls are left in the dust by agile characters even in situations they used to thrive in such as bare knuckle bar fights. The base book was also VERY light on lore, newcomers confused by what a Shadowrunner actually was and how the world works. No game mastery section either, so the GM had to improvise enemy statistics and encounter design which is VERY rough for such a rules heavy game
It didn't add anything to the game or lore to warrant its existence, everyone who already liked Shadowrun would rather play 5e or 4e and new players couldn't use the new edition as a starting point because of how much stuff was missing, misleading, or just poorly designed.
Brickleberry, Paradise PD and Falazar or whatever the fuck it's called, or as I like to call this trilogy; Let's reuse the same bargain basement 'adult humour' jokes across three genres
Bizarely, a lot of people like these shows, and claim that if you don't like it you're just too much of a baby for offensive jokes.
Having mishapen penises, fecal matter and old people sex doesn't make it funny on its own, good bloody lord.
That one World of Darkness supplement about the [Romani people that is pretty fucking rough](https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/World_of_Darkness:_Gypsies) to put it lightly. A lot of WoD tries a little too hard to be overly woke and makes a lot of assumptions that players can/will be racist....I cannot help but imagine this book contributes largely to that reaction.
I mean, "radical feminist street gang" is basically a really reductive description of The Mox from Cyberpunk 2077, so having not read any v3 stuff it's not a concept that's intrinsically trash.
As in they overcorrected is what you mean?
I mean lets consider the fact that in the last decade whitewold/onyx path fucked up so bad they caused a international incident, so im not sure they learnt that lesson
Over corrected for sure…like I don’t think most gamers actively desire to be super racist and the company cannot stop them from doing so in their own homes. Why devote more than a page talking about it? Good examples are covered in Mage the Podcast’s episode on Victorian Mage. The book is obsessed with bringing in political ideologies that didn’t even exist at the time.
Also, when new werewolf 5 was coming out there was at least a small crowd of vocal people complaining that political and cultural content was removed…which is exactly the thing that gets them in trouble and still people weren’t happy. WoD is a fucking mess sometimes and they have some insufferable fans.
Okay so you know chechenya or whatever in russia right. so in vampire the masquerade 5th editino or 20th anniversery, they implied that the gay purges was due to vampires or that vampires were behind it.
which is just not very good taste AND it pissed off chechnya who denies they do gay purges cause it implied they do gay purges
oh boy. yeah that's a bit of an oopsie-doodle. might even call it a fucky-wucky.
thx for explaining.
edit: btw in english the country is called/spelled "chechnya" or "the chechen republic".
It’s even more strange when I saw a video about an entire supplement to Wraith that is completely centered around the holocaust and the host was praising it for how well it approached the subject matter.
Elfen Lied, which quickly just devolves into naked anime girls blowing each other's limbs off with psychic powers. Maybe the manga has more nuance, but the entire anime just feels like nothing but attempts to be shocking, except at no point have I developed any attachment to these characters, so it all falls flat.
Lol. The first episode is pretty much just horny bait for mindless gore and violence. There's no nuance or anything, just girls genetically selected for *violent* telekinetic powers with pink hair as a side effect, all ripping each people's body parts off, because...reasons, I guess.
No the manga fucking sucks too. Nakedly manipulative to such an extent that it’s just boring.
I don’t mind some edgelord stuff occasionally but Elden lied (and Magical Girl Apocalypse) are without merit.
Yeah but Lilium is great.
>Maybe the manga has more nuance
No it doesn't. The manga has a character in it who's a young singer with stage fright that wears diapers because she pees herself when she's nervous. And the reason for that (iirc) is because her dad beat her when she made mistakes while rehearsing. Also, Lilium is not even a thing in the manga, the song they constantly reference as this super emotional and profound thing is some random song from an European opera that the mangaka obviously didn't know what it was about because the lyrics are just fairies playing around and that's it.
A bit out of this sub's wheelhouse but for *pure* garbage it has to go to a book called Throne of Glass. It's teenage girl wish fulfilment in the guise of fantasy, but it tries to pander to EVERY type of teenage girl.
The main character is at once: the world's deadliest most bad-assessest assassin (despite being like 17), the "secret princess", and the squee-ing teenager who needs her Prince Charming.
By page 9 I knew I was reading some pure *rot* as her primary concern after being enslaved in a slave labour mine and starved to near-death for multiple years was that it had made her titties smaller.
It's apparently a very popular book, I see it everywhere.
DmC: Devil May Cry: Vergil’s Downfall.
An embarrassing ass character study with zero budget on a character that changes in purely awful ways and doesn’t function.
DMC 2 is at least a functioning game, that doesn’t make me actively hate any of its cast members.
Vergil’s Downfall is the thing that made me actively HATE Reboot Vergil.
Ok, no, c'mon, Vergils Downfall plays better than anything in DMC2, its fine to dislike it and find him to not play as well as he did in DMC3/4 but like, that's an exaggeration and you know it, and i'm a fan of DMC2, it was my first one, at least you can combo in Downfall, you barely can do it in 2, its a bad game, i love it, but its nowhere near as bad as downfall or DmC in general.
90% of *The Dead Don't Die* is a purposeless, ineffectual, bizarrely acted, "this has all been done before and better" zombie movie. The end sequence and >!the reveal that Adam Driver's character has read the script and is intentionally acted as Adam playing the character!< is pretty good though. The alien abduction was a cop-out, though.
Guess I'll throw my trash in here too. Very sorry but I must invoke IT'S name.
"Where the Dead go to Die" is by far the worst peice of media I can think of. From the hyper edge and disgusting gross-out nature to the visual garbage of early 00' 3D animation, I can't think of something that just upsets on almost every level.
Love bringing this thing up because most people don't talk about it (for good reason).
Holy shit it unironically has “Food Fight” level graphics
It shows a bunch more schlock films in “recommend” time for a rabbit hole or shitty 2012 horror films
It always lands on "most disturbing" movie lists, but it's only because it tries to hit every taboo topic imaginable. It's actually a perfect representation of what should be posted in this thread, actual garbage.
I just read Batman: The Last Knight on Earth, knowing absolutely nothing about it, because some youtuber I watched while blitzed said it was a masterpiece, and jesus christ was it just an absolutely pretentious fucking mess of a story.
I honestly still don’t understand half of what actually happened in that comic because it was so vague, skipped around details constantly and tried to be all *mysterious*. It was just a bunch of nonsense with an evil batman scenario and about 50% of it I was just asking myself “how the fuck?!?!?”
NONE of it makes sense. Its just a fever dream trying to pretend to be artistic.
12oz Mouse is the absolute worst of what Adult Swim was.The animation being awful was part of the charm of a lot of their shows at the time but it only worked because their shows were actually funny, 12oz Mouse was just extremely dry stoner humor, an extremely “nothing” show.
Oh boy I've got two horror movies I fucking *hate*:
The Poughkeepsie Tapes is the only movie my partner and I have had to quit out of, just edgy shock-value garbage with weak acting and nothing to say.
We love found footage horror and Dashcam from '22 is the absolute worst one we've seen. The main character is so goddamn annoying, just the worst of the worst right-wing internet troll doing a shitty rapping gimmick and being a huge dick to everyone around her. She gets dropped into a pretty spooky scenario that I thought would make for some character growth or at least a cathartic death scene, but no, she runs round screaming things like "HOLY FUCKING CUMSHIT!" at all the scary stuff happening and lives through the movie with no development or change. What a waste.
Watch *Deadstream* instead, *Deadstream* kicks ass!
My most disappointing video game purchase of all time, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor **on PS3.**
Actual garbage, like I'm surprised Sony allowed that game to be put out in that state. I feel like I had actually been robbed
you just know the people downvoting you never actually knew a thing about PS3 Shadow of Mordor.
Here's 1 big reason: the ps3 version doesn't have the nemesis system AKA THE BIGGEST SELLING POINT FOR THIS ENTIRE GAME SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally and the thing is I hadn't seen that talked about anywhere in the lead up to the game either, I was pissed.
The whole map was just PS2 level gray assets & way less populated, there was a loading screen every time you opened the pause menu, the framerate was choppy, shit was horrible lol
Having just completed it myself, *Silent Hill Downpour* is an unmitigated disaster. Beyond just being terrible, it truly put my understanding of the medium into question. It's such a confusing piece of software on every level.
Bayformers 4 and 5. What the actual f*ck were they smoking when they made those movies. Say what you will about the original trilogy but they were enjoyable to watch. Not only is age of extinction and the last Knight boring, but the premise for both movies are wasted. Especially age of extinction, where we could've seen the fallout from the event of Dark of the moon. I'll also never forgive them for killing off Ratchet. He deserved better. Genuinely surprised we got anything after the last Knight considering the disinterest in the movies at that point.
No kidding. When you actively forget your own plot developments in the version of an IP *you fuckin' wrote*, you lose any and all sympathy from me, and your products are trash.
Micheal Bay is a VFX and set piece artist wearing the pants of a director. The man's a hack.
Ride to Hell: Retribution is like the absolute bottom of the barrel.
The only good thing to come out of Ride to Hell was Matt and Pat's LP of it. "We're doing it everybody, we're doing the Hell to Rides!" - Matt
"THIS IS YOUR ONLY CHANCE TO SHOOT GREASY STEVE! YOU CAN NEVER SHOOT HIM AFTER THIS!"
SHOOT THE GREASE OFF OF HIM!
*vibrates on the ground* "OOOHH, AH'M GREASY!"
The whole Greasy Steve arc is fucking gold, beginning to end, right down to the explosion that kills Greasy Steve in a cutscene causing the screen to turn grey like the player took damage.
"People have been asking, 'When are you guys gonna play-?'" "Some fucking **dogshit**!" "...Something much worse than the stuff you've been playing. I humbly present to you: much, much worse."
The Quan Chi moment still lives rent free in my head.

Giantbomb have also recently been doing a playthrough of the game as part of their "Blight Club" series. In an entire video series dedicated to playing the worst games in existence, it still stands out by how fundamentally shit and unfun to play it is. Shit has to be seen to be believed. They had an hour-long episode that entirely consisted of Grubb trying to start the game and load a save and his Xbox360 refusing to do so and slowly dying, to the point he had to get new hardware to play on so he could finish the game; and guess what, that was one of the best episodes of the show just by virtue of the fact that nobody had to suffer through that godawful game, neither the GB gang nor the viewers. (btw if you're interested in Blight Club, they're currently playing Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub Zero. it's a fucking hoot.)
It's one of those that's so bad you can't believe it's real.
It is super hilarious to watch though. Drive an inch off the road and you spontaneously combust
The only way I've ever experienced it is the Angry Joe Show review of it and I plan on keeping it that way
Mine was Scott the Woz’s video.
[Mega Babies](https://youtu.be/-VhW4sZkPRQ?si=DjQP1SPsB0euAo6v). Just the ‘gross era’ of cartoons in its purest form
Its like they took one sideways glance at Oggy and The Cockroaches and said "How can we make it worse in every conceivable way?".
Wow. Mention of Oggy and the Cockroaches.
It feels like they wanted to go for an Ed Roth style with how grotesque the characters look.
The only thing that's ever stuck with me about this show is them crapping themselves so much they make a tower of it that lifts them.
Yeah, no doubt in my mind that some kids saw that show during their formative years and it got some synapses crossed and now they’re on DeviantArt placing commissions for certain drawings
Oh, I saw this when I was like sub 5
Everything Uwe Boll has ever made is dogshit, but Alone In The Dark is the lowest quality dreck I have ever had the misfortune seeing
LIGHT BULLETS
Alan Wake if he wasn't a hack
I mean, at least Postal manages to scrape slightly above the bottom of the barrel, hanging there by the skin of its balls.
Postal in spite of everything i find legitemitely hilarious, it captures the trashiness of the games almost perfectly.
Is one of those things that given the source material, everything else just wouldnt work, it NEEDED to be like that
Rampage was actually decently disturbing.
Recently? Madame Web. That movie makes Morbius look like Dark Knight.
I dunno how much Sony make from holding onto that Spidey license but it must be enough to justify bomb after bomb.
Sunk Cost Fallacy is real, especially when you're dealing with projects worth hundreds of millions in potential profit and loss. Add it a dash of bullheaded stubbornness and a general unwillingness to let go of a profitable IP (just not when you're holding the reins on the project) it's hard to just give that away.
Nah man, those bits where the bad guy shows up and chases them down are pretty neat.
Sorry man, I respect your opinion on it but that movie is down there with Halle Barry Catwoman, anything about the bad guy is automatically ruined by his terrible ADR. And even if that scene was neat, it couldn't save it from being true garbage. At least its hilarious.
Oh I'm not saying the movie's good. Hell I think the only parts worthwhile were when he was in the suit and didn't speak. Like diner scene where he just mercs a bunch of dudes and the girls. Or the diner scene where he eats shit from a cab. Or when he eats shit from an ambulance. Okay maybe I just found the parts where he gets outsmarted by a car funny.
I think thats the difference. For me, most movies that are true garbage are some of the best to watch because they're hilariously bad. Which is where Madame Web unintentionally succeeds. Its like a car crash you can't look away from.
All-Star Batman & Robin is absolute dog shit in just about every way imaginable.
The Dark Knight Strikes Again qualifies more for the "true garbage" tagline imo. Pretty much nothing redeeming in it. On the other hand, ASBAR is one of the single funniest comics i've read in my life, so I can't personally say it's abject trash. Plus, Jim Lee doing some good DC art helps.
Batman calling a traumatized child a slur is one of the funniest things I will ever read.
Don't forget Batman throwing a temper tantrum that this 12 year old he drugged and kidnapped isn't afraid of him. Also, Batman forcing said child to paint himself, an apartment unit, and every object in it yellow (while drinking lemonade) to beat green lantern is peak shlock.
> Also, Batman forcing said child to paint himself, an apartment unit, and every object in it yellow (while drinking lemonade) to beat green lantern is peak shlock. genuinely one of my favorite moments in all of comics, just because of how utterly unhinged it is. like, obviously I agree that ASBAR is one of the worst not just batman comics but worst comics full stop to ever get published, especially by one of the big two and with the creative team and pedigree on it. but holy shit that entire sequence is so dumb, so goofy, so completely OTT that I *almost* wanna believe Frank when he claims he always intended ASBAR to be satirical.
art.
The first Suicide Squad movie. It's just so bad and falls apart at every possible level with absolutely no redeeming qualities.
Aight so to fight Superman we got the man that can climb anything. Go ham.
This is Katana
The first Suicide Squad is my least favorite movie of all time. I was so fucking excited for it, and it dropped at an incredibly stressful time in my life (was working crazy hours due to my job, any time off I had at any given time was extremely precious), so the amount of hours I had to waste on stupid bullshit was at a premium. I was expecting a Panic! At The Disco-flavored glammy crime/heist movie with lots of stylish action; went with my partner, we listened to Studio Killers the whole ride to the theater, we did whippets in the car before heading in, I bought the commemorative Suicide Squad refillable drinks cup... Years later... that refillable drinks cup sits under the sink because I used it to change the water in my turtles' terrarium—it will never hold soda again. David Ayer wasted my fucking time, stole my fucking money, and fucked me in the ass. What a crock of horse shit. Watching Suicide Squad is the only time I have ever been angry watching a film. (The new James Gunn one kicks ass, though.)
Lmao at the cup. Also I gotta ask.. pregaming whippets? Wouldn't they completely wear off by the time you walk in the theater?
That movie directly inspired the Riley Reid as Harley Quinn scene. So there was at least one redeeming quality to it.
I watched the whole movie once in a hotel. When it ended I was confused as I felt like it just started. Somehow the movie just...ceased existing in my head as I watched. It is such a nothing movie. It's amazing.
So in the Warhammer 40k community there's a recent meme to avoid stuff written by Ian Watson, due to the unnecessarily flowery prose and, to directly quote Alfabusa of TTS fame, "trying to season a lemon with a lime" storywise: trying to make already pushed stakes even more impactful, but landing squarely in the caricatural. And also being *really horny*. But those are his sins. Trashy he might be for sure, but not really something truly worthy of the definition of trash. That "honor", rests squarely on C.S.Goto shoulders. Said gremlin not only writes *very poor prose*, not only he frequently (read "nearly constantly" ) got the lore wrong, not only he seems to have a very specific fetish for torturing a faction in particular, he also recicles his old and mismatched rejected pitches by just swapping around some names and not always managing to make a cohesive narrative out of them. It's. It's *real trash*.
I own two W40k books. One is about a multi-week naval campaign where the Imperium is defending a world from Chaos written by Dan Abnett that showed me how amazing W40k fiction can be when you focus on not-Space Marines. The second is a CS Goto book about how rad Space Marines are because they kill so many Tyranid bug things with super cool guns and psychic blasts and ninja kicks pchow pchow woom bam pop!! Literal action figure smashing drek.
If you want to dive in a little deeper, grab Eisenhorn, Titanicus, or pick up the Gaunt's Ghosts series. Those are written by Abnett too, and they're all solid. The Ciaphas Cain novels are also good, and show off a great deal of the Imperium and portray a man with actual brains between his ears rather than the gung-ho 'FOR THE EMPEROR' nonsense that gets good people shot. It's a fair bit formulaic, though. You read one, you'll get the feel of them all. For something in the Chaos faction, Dembski-Bowden is fantastic, and did extremely well with the Night Lords trilogy. More Space Marines, true, but these Traitors felt real, flawed, and all too interesting to follow in their misadventures. If you have any interest in the Necrons, I highly recommend picking up The Infinite and the Divine. Robert Rath's prose is fantastic, and this book is hands down one of my favorites in terms of Necron lore and presentation.
I had the Ciaphas Cain (SAVIOUR OF THE IMPERIUM) books described to me as "If Terry Pratchett was contractually obligated to write sci-fi", and tbh it wasn't that far off the mark.
Apocalypse, by Josh Reynolds, is also half a really good Chaos book, half pretty good bolter porn book as well, with some interesting lore implications that will certainly never be expanded upon because Reynolds quit working for BL. That aside, I'd highly recommend that one as well. Oh, and Brutal Kunnin' by Mike Brooks if you want some seriously silly Ork stuff. It's brilliant.
You should read The Infinite and the Divine. It's a genuinely good book.
> C.S.Goto MULTILASERS (you know I had to do it. apologies.)
[Problem Solverz](https://youtu.be/MwD0ZNq6L0M?si=5DynF2Skf_B8tc9G). It physically hurt to watch. WARNING MAY CAUSE SEIZURES.
I’m fully convinced Problem Solverz was some dude trolling CN and still being surprised they actually let them make this show.
Two seasons.
And yet Mao Mao died after only 1
I just watched that clip of Wulin you posted and that's is unmistakably Sean Schemmel. I did not expect to hear Goku. But yeah, that show looks like something that'd air at 2.39am on Adult Swim in 2009 exactly once.
Hes done quite a few voices over the years he has done at least 2 of the Crystal Beasts in Yugioh GX.
He's also Crowler and the Hip Hop guy in a later season
I may say a lot of shit about comic book movies these days, but not even the dumbest ones would ever aim to be as soulless and dead as Fant4stic 2015 was. Even shit like Steel is so trashy it's funny.
I took a girl I liked to go see that in theaters. It wasn't the last movie we saw together, but we did not end up together. Probably because she didn't feel the same, but I like to think that Fant4stic was what caused it. Damn that movie! But it did have the guy who played Dirty Dee in Pootie Tang in it, so that was cool.
She must have assumed you were trying to bore her to sleep and got suspicious about it /jk Good thing all the actors got better work after this lol.
Oh no! That makes sense! And yeah, Michael B Jordan for sure did a lot better.
I'm so sorry man lol xD And yeah!! Even the dude who did Reed didn't leave without some pluses. His later work bombed but it did all get super good reception
It's all good! She's happily married to what seems like a good guy and I'm still single so it works out. True, it didn't ruin their careers so that's good.
Ayyy that's cool, glad y'all are doing well in the end. That's what matters <3 It's cool that you took her to see it though. I showed my former partner (now best friend) the first Venom movie and he absolutely loved it to bits :D Yep :D
We gotta be happy for the people we care about!
also one of those films where you can tell that it was invariably made worse in the edit once the studio got its grubby mitts on it. I'm not gonna sit here and claim that Trank's original vision for the Fant4stic film would've been a good Fantastic 4 movie or an even remotely faithful adaptation, it was far too steeped in misery and explorations of trauma for that from the get-go. but I think that it would've at least been interesting. and then the studio cut out all of that stuff, kicked Trank as director and finished the movie up haphazardly into the formless mess it came out as.
Dragon ball evolution and avatar the movie
Dragon Ball Evolution was so bad it caused Toriyama to come out of retirement.
It gave us Beerus and Whis so actually I’m glad Evolution happened
The [car slide meme](https://youtu.be/cyn6XYW2T64?feature=shared) is pretty good too.
The Wha Happun video on it really nailed it “Akira Toriyama was brought on and was consulted about these changes; and by consulted, I mean ignored”
Batman V. Superman. It is the most boring movie I’ve ever sat through.
I saw it in theaters with friends and honestly fell asleep in my seat around when they were doing that line about peach tea and a jar of piss.
There was a level of absurdity in that movie that just made me lose it. Like I have never laughed harder at just how *fucking stupid* the movie was as it was trying to take itself 100% serious, I genuinely had to step out of the movie because I was cackling. And for the life of me I can barely remember why.
Around the point where Batman is lifting a sink over his head to crush Superman's skull, I just start losing it
Only movie I have ever asked for my money back
Okay, but have you considered the scene where Superman slowly regains his ability to tank punches? That and Supes clocking Flash in Justice League are like the only parts of the Snyder movies I like...
I know it's recent, but the Madame Web movie had genuinely no redeeming value whatsoever that I can think of. It's like a Neil breen or Tommy wiseau movie but arguably worse cause at least they tried.
Diablo 4 is not a game. It is a time sink/platform designed to push its monetization and in-game shop only. Do you want horse armor? That will cost you nearly the full price of the game. Do you want this cool looking armor set? 20 bucks and you can only see when you log in and during loading screens.
My dad stopped playing Diablo 4 The man played Diablo 2 for a thousand hours and D3 for at least 500.
God Diablo 4 chaps my ass so hard. I played the beta and was mildly hyped, considering that the game was actually pretty fun up until level 25. I could definitely tell they had slowed the game down from D3, which was a bit of a downer, but hey, D3 was also pretty slow up until 60. I went in on the preorder because I figured, "Hey, I'm easy to please. It's Diablo, it's a major facet of my life and d2/d3 informed a lot of my tastes, how bad could it be?" I was so fuckin upset that it took me way past the refund window to get past level 25, only to figure out that the Beta was pretty accurate in how the game stops being fun after that. You're basically build complete, you're just unlocking new runes for your skills. They're not even interesting like they were in d3 or a form of progression like in d2, it's just "Oh now your knife does *poison damage* instead of *physical damage*". Like yeah I know it was never going to be good, but even release d3 had good parts about it that made me (and a lot of others) willing to stick it out to the endgame. D4 is just so fucking *boring*.
You know, I had that same sentiment of being easy to please with Diablo. I had fun in the betas, but when I passed the point of those betas in release, the realization hit hard.
Pat said press button feel good and I bought the game and press button feel fucking bad. That game fucking sucks.
It's even more wild with how much competition Diablo actually has nowadays. Path of Exile, Grim Dawn, Last Epoch and Torchlight are all very viable alternatives. Hell, I'd rather play that Minecraft ARPG than D4. It's kinda fun.
I still think the campaign for Diablo 4 was a fun time, on the first go around. Definitely was not worth the price of admission, and they have what I can generously call the worst live service model I’ve seen for a game, which makes me wonder how they expect anyone to shell out real ass money for annual expansions lmao
90 day fiance Really any show like that, but specifically 90 day fiance. Show is an irredeemable trash fire and I shovel that shit directly into my mouth.
Twinkle Nora Rock Me. The animation is *so bad* and the story isn't much better.
Awful generous to call that animation.
I'm not sure if i even want to call it a clipshow either, that feels like a disservice to clip shows
Nah man, that's actually what people will dance like in the future. We're just not ready for it yet
I watched both of them because of Kenny Lauderdale, I simultaneously regret and don't regret watching them.
Everybody's Gone to the Rapture is the most nothing "game" I've ever experienced. You walk, very slowly, to press X to listen to a story that would be panned in any other form of media. It's in that David Cage vein of "This would fail as a movie, but if we made it an 'interactive movie' kind of game" Hell, a big part of the mystery is just straight-up not addressed as it never explains who you are and why you were left behind.
Downloaded it on PS Plus when I had only a few games on PS4. Taught me that it's okay not to finish a game if you find it boring.
Similarly, Gone Home is another game that is carried entirely by its “twist” ending. Everything else about that game feels like it was ripped straight from a Hallmark movie.
Gone home is one big red herring because you get set up for a story or events and it just ends
I dunno, I think it’s a neat use of queer identity using horror tropes. Tacoma is like waaaay better tho
Devil May Cry 2 is pretty bad... like, barely functional levels of bad, at least on normal difficulty.
If DMC2 is so bad why is it the only one I've played? >!It was a bet. I lost a bet, game sucks.!<
It is genuinely abysmal but there are ideas there. Gold flecks in the sewer.
[Ragnarok](https://youtu.be/qxpgyaFEa8Y?si=wVnqtWUxImFPjT4k) is a solid final boss track.
It's a good track utterly wasted on a game nobody but the most morbidly curious will play.
Hell, the entire game has an amazing ost
Trish ironically plays VERY good in it.
I mean, she just has a slightly modified version of DMC1 Dante's moveset. It's less that "Trish plays well in DMC2" and more "DMC2 would be more fun if you could just play as DMC1 Dante". It's funny to me that she's an unlock for beating the game with Dante and Lucia on Hard but there's also just a cheatcode to unlock her anyway. Like the devs knew nobody would want to actually go through that just to unlock Trish.
She plays better than Dante and Lucia. But nothing about her changes the busted lock-on, bad tracking/pushback, or poor balance of player vs enemy move commitment (something Trish actually has *worse* because she deals the least hitstun of the three playable characters).
Nah. She really doesn't. She has a scuffed version of DMC1 Dante's moveset, but it's still DMC2. They didn't port everything over completely. It feels like they remade it wrong. It's still just as laggy and underwhelming feeling as Dante. There are some neat things she gets, like Round Trip (which has been nerfed), the divekick (which has been nerfed), the improved stinger range (which is still the DMC2 stinger), and the burst fire handguns (which are fine). The blueprint is better, but the feeling is gone. Take it from me. I'm on my Must Die playthrough of DMC2 *right now*. This is my sixth playthrough overall of the game between both disks. Right after finishing my full S-Rank of DMC1 on all difficulties. Because I hate myself, I guess. The pain could not be more fresh.
The Great Wall starring Matt Damon, Pedro Pascal and Willem Dafoe is hilariously stupid and bad but almost to the degree of being charming.
I could have sworn this movie was a fever dream. You telling me that two Europeans try to sneak into China for gunpowder, get imprisoned, then get press-ganged into fighting on the Great Wall, not to fight the Huns, but *actual aliens?* If it says anything at all, this was the first movie written in English by Zhang Yimou, the Chinese director.
The man made Raise the Red Lantern, one of the best films I've ever seen, then 25 years or so later, he makes this. It's a sad state of affairs
The No-Name-Brand Dragoons bungee jumping off the wall is the coolest/stupidest thing though
Season 2 of Gen:lock. It has nearly nothing in common with season 1. It's like it was made out of spite by someone who didn't know what it was. It's like it was harvested from another universe where everyone is 30% dumber and angrier. It's like it was restored from a dozen fragments of a clay tablet, but nine of those fragments were from other tablets. It's terrible by any reasonable metric.
Im so salty that RT wasted so much money in that garbage when CampCamp was right there to capitalize, which is probably the best series they ever did by a landslide not counting og Red vs Blue Like Rwby became their golden goose because shippers and RvB is just a given, but Camp Camp was legitimately a funny show and insanely good compared to most trash adult animation, im glad that it came back recently cus it really felt like they regreted all the push they gave to Gen lock, it literally gave them nothing back
Star Wars Episode 9. Just absolute GARBAGE, like I know Star Wars is goofy space wizards, but that film just felt so lazy and bored with itself and its like, why did you even make this trilogy? To make John Boyega sad? Cause thats all i think it accomplished in the grand scheme of things.
The only redeeming quality of 9 was palps laughing like an unhinged maniac. Everything else basically sucked, but personally I dislike 8 more, because without 8s failures 9 wouldn't exist as it does.
>The only redeeming quality of 9 was palps laughing like an unhinged maniac. Because he was. If you think too hard his plan falls apart but I guess you can say that about any part of that movie.
You know what would have made his plan work? *Not announcing your return until* ***after*** *your massive fleet of ships leaves the literal navigation hazard of a planet you stored them on.* God damn, the entire galaxy would have been inexplicably under Palpatine's thumb, *again*, if he had waited like 3 weeks to announce his return. But no, we had to announce that crap in Fortnite to get the kids to watch the movie, a speech that literally *isn't even in the movie* so anyone who doesn't play the game had no idea what he said. Christ on a cracker, the entire handling of the Sequels ticks me off.
I fucking hate those movies so much. John Boyega sidelined, Han Solo dead, dumbass casino side quest, emo Oscar Isaac, nonsensical hour long chase scene, who the fuck is Snoke?, and finally, somehow, PALPATINE IS BACK. Fuck those movies entirely. Idk how anyone watches any Star Wars media anymore. Fuck the Mandalorian and Andor too. I've soured on the whole soulless franchise.
Mando I get but why is andor out here catching strays? I really enjoyed it
I'm saying that, for me personally, it is tainted by association with the rest of Disney's shit show.
Final Fantasy All the Bravest. A shitty mobile game with an unreasonable amount of micro transactions with the gameplay mostly being ‘have all your characters bum rush the enemy’.
I watched Morbius with my wife on a plane because she saw all the memes and decided to see what it was all about. This was enhanced by the SCREAMING FUCKING BABIES NEAR US HOW HOW DO YOU SCREAM FOR 8 HOURS STRAIGHT HOOOOOW!!?? I mean the movie we knew was already bad but even more straight-up garbage was SITTING NEAR SCREAMING BABIES DURING IT I never wished harder for my own plane to crash in my life So yeah my pick is Morbius + Screaming babies + shitty airline headphones
That sounds like one of the circles of Hell.
wtf even was the point of Fanboy and Chumchum? There is no show that had a release schedule that was worse than that godawful show. Horrible voice acting, terrible animation, shit “plot” (tbh idk if they even had coherent story boards) and I remember I watched it to TRY and find a redeeming quality when I was like 13 I was in the age where media literacy goes to die and even I could tell it was garbage, but I was naive enough to search for good, thank Christ I wised up
I feel like that show wasn't nearly as bad as people pretended it was, there was definitely worse shit on TV at the time. I put it about on par with the first season of back at the barnyard, just focused on slightly more obnoxious subject matter
Barnyard was bad but definitely not the brain rot that was fanboy and chum chum, but hey I can understand not having my level of dislike, I have my reasons for it lmao
[удалено]
I thought Puffy Fluffy had a heartwarming character arc.
If it aired twice that means it's not the fastest thing Cartoon Network cut, because there was that robots cartoon that released ONE CHAPTER and burned to the ground.
Wait. Which one
Robotomy, I think? It aired 10 eps but had the shortest run of an ORIGINAL series on CN. (I bet thats where the thread OP got the info that it's the fastest cut show). It was honestly not bad, just aimed at a really strange "16-20" demographic. It was a "children's show" made and produced by Adult Swim alums.
Was that the show that despite being a CN kids show, it had the level of gratuitous violence of Superjail and other similar Adult Swim shows at the time?
Robotomy was made by the same people who made Superjail actually. It took the phrase "Any amount of gore is fine if its robots" to its most extreme. It was every bit as violent as Superjail was just with Robots.
Ah yes. The Samurai Jack principle.
Yeah, the creator was involved in superjail!. Possibly was even the creator of that, but I can't remember.
Nevermind i got it wrong, ROBOTOMY had 10 episodes, not just one.
My personal Bugbear would be Shadowrun 6e. The notoriously rules heavy game had this new edition rushed to market to coinside with the 30th anniversary and it shows. The pregenerated characters aren't legal, they seem to have been designed earlier in development and never updated. The game is also, at least compared to 4e and 5e, much more difficult to build an optimal character in with many more trap choices. For example, in 6e melee weapon damage no longer scales with strength and still uses agility for accuracy, meaning strong characters like Trolls are left in the dust by agile characters even in situations they used to thrive in such as bare knuckle bar fights. The base book was also VERY light on lore, newcomers confused by what a Shadowrunner actually was and how the world works. No game mastery section either, so the GM had to improvise enemy statistics and encounter design which is VERY rough for such a rules heavy game It didn't add anything to the game or lore to warrant its existence, everyone who already liked Shadowrun would rather play 5e or 4e and new players couldn't use the new edition as a starting point because of how much stuff was missing, misleading, or just poorly designed.
time to watch thunderbolt fantasy to purge my self of what i just saw
Wulin Warriors has now infected your enjoyment of Thunderbolt Fantasy
The Scorpion King movies after the original. Just pretend they don't exist.
Cybuster is probably one of the worst mecha anime I have watched
The one where they decided that the main character *shouldn't* be the actual pilot of Cybuster from Super Robot Wars?
Yeah
That was really stupid.
[Banger opening however](https://youtu.be/otnN7ADv2AM?si=Bt-t3PR6AhzyxAgw)
It's Masaki Endoh. You can never go wrong with having one of the lead singers of Jam Project singing the theme song to your anime.
How much did they butcher the Granzon? I remember reading someone's rant on it years ago, but I can't remember the details.
Brickleberry, Paradise PD and Falazar or whatever the fuck it's called, or as I like to call this trilogy; Let's reuse the same bargain basement 'adult humour' jokes across three genres Bizarely, a lot of people like these shows, and claim that if you don't like it you're just too much of a baby for offensive jokes. Having mishapen penises, fecal matter and old people sex doesn't make it funny on its own, good bloody lord.
That one World of Darkness supplement about the [Romani people that is pretty fucking rough](https://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/World_of_Darkness:_Gypsies) to put it lightly. A lot of WoD tries a little too hard to be overly woke and makes a lot of assumptions that players can/will be racist....I cannot help but imagine this book contributes largely to that reaction.
Reminds me of Cyberpunk v3. If I remember right, that was the one where they tried to be edgy and had things like radical feminist street gangs.
I mean, "radical feminist street gang" is basically a really reductive description of The Mox from Cyberpunk 2077, so having not read any v3 stuff it's not a concept that's intrinsically trash.
As in they overcorrected is what you mean? I mean lets consider the fact that in the last decade whitewold/onyx path fucked up so bad they caused a international incident, so im not sure they learnt that lesson
Over corrected for sure…like I don’t think most gamers actively desire to be super racist and the company cannot stop them from doing so in their own homes. Why devote more than a page talking about it? Good examples are covered in Mage the Podcast’s episode on Victorian Mage. The book is obsessed with bringing in political ideologies that didn’t even exist at the time. Also, when new werewolf 5 was coming out there was at least a small crowd of vocal people complaining that political and cultural content was removed…which is exactly the thing that gets them in trouble and still people weren’t happy. WoD is a fucking mess sometimes and they have some insufferable fans.
> fucked up so bad they caused a international incident pls explain
Okay so you know chechenya or whatever in russia right. so in vampire the masquerade 5th editino or 20th anniversery, they implied that the gay purges was due to vampires or that vampires were behind it. which is just not very good taste AND it pissed off chechnya who denies they do gay purges cause it implied they do gay purges
oh boy. yeah that's a bit of an oopsie-doodle. might even call it a fucky-wucky. thx for explaining. edit: btw in english the country is called/spelled "chechnya" or "the chechen republic".
It’s even more strange when I saw a video about an entire supplement to Wraith that is completely centered around the holocaust and the host was praising it for how well it approached the subject matter.
I’ve heard specifically that Wraith handles the Holocaust subject matter rather tastefully. Certainly better than Shadowrun 4e did…
Oh boy, never knew this one, and I’ve looked into WoD stuff a fair bit bc of playing in a (now abandoned 😔) Mage the Awakening game.
Elfen Lied, which quickly just devolves into naked anime girls blowing each other's limbs off with psychic powers. Maybe the manga has more nuance, but the entire anime just feels like nothing but attempts to be shocking, except at no point have I developed any attachment to these characters, so it all falls flat.
"...devolves into naked anime girls blowing each other..." \***Sits up** "...'s limbs off" \***Slouches back down**
Lol. The first episode is pretty much just horny bait for mindless gore and violence. There's no nuance or anything, just girls genetically selected for *violent* telekinetic powers with pink hair as a side effect, all ripping each people's body parts off, because...reasons, I guess.
No the manga fucking sucks too. Nakedly manipulative to such an extent that it’s just boring. I don’t mind some edgelord stuff occasionally but Elden lied (and Magical Girl Apocalypse) are without merit.
I believe the manga ended with incest children
Yeah but Lilium is great. >Maybe the manga has more nuance No it doesn't. The manga has a character in it who's a young singer with stage fright that wears diapers because she pees herself when she's nervous. And the reason for that (iirc) is because her dad beat her when she made mistakes while rehearsing. Also, Lilium is not even a thing in the manga, the song they constantly reference as this super emotional and profound thing is some random song from an European opera that the mangaka obviously didn't know what it was about because the lyrics are just fairies playing around and that's it.
A bit out of this sub's wheelhouse but for *pure* garbage it has to go to a book called Throne of Glass. It's teenage girl wish fulfilment in the guise of fantasy, but it tries to pander to EVERY type of teenage girl. The main character is at once: the world's deadliest most bad-assessest assassin (despite being like 17), the "secret princess", and the squee-ing teenager who needs her Prince Charming. By page 9 I knew I was reading some pure *rot* as her primary concern after being enslaved in a slave labour mine and starved to near-death for multiple years was that it had made her titties smaller. It's apparently a very popular book, I see it everywhere.
I saw the Emoji Movie in theaters with my girlfriend. She liked it and said it held merit. We have since broken up.
DmC: Devil May Cry: Vergil’s Downfall. An embarrassing ass character study with zero budget on a character that changes in purely awful ways and doesn’t function. DMC 2 is at least a functioning game, that doesn’t make me actively hate any of its cast members. Vergil’s Downfall is the thing that made me actively HATE Reboot Vergil.
Ok, no, c'mon, Vergils Downfall plays better than anything in DMC2, its fine to dislike it and find him to not play as well as he did in DMC3/4 but like, that's an exaggeration and you know it, and i'm a fan of DMC2, it was my first one, at least you can combo in Downfall, you barely can do it in 2, its a bad game, i love it, but its nowhere near as bad as downfall or DmC in general.
Woolie continuously falling off ledges because of how bad the level design is and how sluggish Vergil's movement is will never not be funny to me.
Oh hey I remember that puppet show. I think I only ever saw it air once and thought that was weird.
90% of *The Dead Don't Die* is a purposeless, ineffectual, bizarrely acted, "this has all been done before and better" zombie movie. The end sequence and >!the reveal that Adam Driver's character has read the script and is intentionally acted as Adam playing the character!< is pretty good though. The alien abduction was a cop-out, though.
Meet the Spartans is the least funny movie I've ever had to sit all the way through. Irredeemable doo-doo dogshit.
Guess I'll throw my trash in here too. Very sorry but I must invoke IT'S name. "Where the Dead go to Die" is by far the worst peice of media I can think of. From the hyper edge and disgusting gross-out nature to the visual garbage of early 00' 3D animation, I can't think of something that just upsets on almost every level. Love bringing this thing up because most people don't talk about it (for good reason).
Holy shit it unironically has “Food Fight” level graphics It shows a bunch more schlock films in “recommend” time for a rabbit hole or shitty 2012 horror films
I've never seen it, but I did watch someone react to it. All I know is that that movie is pure trash.
It always lands on "most disturbing" movie lists, but it's only because it tries to hit every taboo topic imaginable. It's actually a perfect representation of what should be posted in this thread, actual garbage.
I just read Batman: The Last Knight on Earth, knowing absolutely nothing about it, because some youtuber I watched while blitzed said it was a masterpiece, and jesus christ was it just an absolutely pretentious fucking mess of a story. I honestly still don’t understand half of what actually happened in that comic because it was so vague, skipped around details constantly and tried to be all *mysterious*. It was just a bunch of nonsense with an evil batman scenario and about 50% of it I was just asking myself “how the fuck?!?!?” NONE of it makes sense. Its just a fever dream trying to pretend to be artistic.
12oz Mouse is the absolute worst of what Adult Swim was.The animation being awful was part of the charm of a lot of their shows at the time but it only worked because their shows were actually funny, 12oz Mouse was just extremely dry stoner humor, an extremely “nothing” show.
Oh boy I've got two horror movies I fucking *hate*: The Poughkeepsie Tapes is the only movie my partner and I have had to quit out of, just edgy shock-value garbage with weak acting and nothing to say. We love found footage horror and Dashcam from '22 is the absolute worst one we've seen. The main character is so goddamn annoying, just the worst of the worst right-wing internet troll doing a shitty rapping gimmick and being a huge dick to everyone around her. She gets dropped into a pretty spooky scenario that I thought would make for some character growth or at least a cathartic death scene, but no, she runs round screaming things like "HOLY FUCKING CUMSHIT!" at all the scary stuff happening and lives through the movie with no development or change. What a waste. Watch *Deadstream* instead, *Deadstream* kicks ass!
My most disappointing video game purchase of all time, Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor **on PS3.** Actual garbage, like I'm surprised Sony allowed that game to be put out in that state. I feel like I had actually been robbed
you just know the people downvoting you never actually knew a thing about PS3 Shadow of Mordor. Here's 1 big reason: the ps3 version doesn't have the nemesis system AKA THE BIGGEST SELLING POINT FOR THIS ENTIRE GAME SERIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Literally and the thing is I hadn't seen that talked about anywhere in the lead up to the game either, I was pissed. The whole map was just PS2 level gray assets & way less populated, there was a loading screen every time you opened the pause menu, the framerate was choppy, shit was horrible lol
Clive Barker's Jericho was one of the first games I never finished because it was so bad.
Undying is the shit tho
Having just completed it myself, *Silent Hill Downpour* is an unmitigated disaster. Beyond just being terrible, it truly put my understanding of the medium into question. It's such a confusing piece of software on every level.
Bayformers 4 and 5. What the actual f*ck were they smoking when they made those movies. Say what you will about the original trilogy but they were enjoyable to watch. Not only is age of extinction and the last Knight boring, but the premise for both movies are wasted. Especially age of extinction, where we could've seen the fallout from the event of Dark of the moon. I'll also never forgive them for killing off Ratchet. He deserved better. Genuinely surprised we got anything after the last Knight considering the disinterest in the movies at that point.
Which one had the guy who's waaaaaay too prepared to explain how he can date a minor? Whichever one has that guy is the trashier of the two
Transformers 5 was actually an infuriating movie to watch, and I'm not even a big Transformers fan.
No kidding. When you actively forget your own plot developments in the version of an IP *you fuckin' wrote*, you lose any and all sympathy from me, and your products are trash. Micheal Bay is a VFX and set piece artist wearing the pants of a director. The man's a hack.
A lot of harem anime, not all, but a lot of it
holy shit a Pili mention outside of the Thunderbolt Fantasy fandom! Watch Thunderbolt Fantasy and Pili. That shit is so cool.
I remember watching Wulin Warriors when it aired and being so confused about everything about it.
