Other M is a great example of a game that's technically well-made, is entirely functional, runs very well, etc., but just fails on just about every other level, including from a game design point of view, in terms of writing, and in terms of presentation.
Like it's so, so bad. It may not be a 1/10 game but it's definitely like a 4/10. lol Maybe even a bit worse.
Ok
But imagine a game that fails from a game design point of view, in terms of writing, in terms of presentation, AND is a disaster technically, not at all functional and runs like crap.
I mean, we're talking about a game where none of the buttons does anything except make your character jitter in his oscillation between two really awkward frames of animation. A game where, if you manage to hack your way into providing actual workable control, bombards you with an enemy that stands on top of you dealing contact damage, too close for you to shoot (remember, the projectiles spawn at the end of your arm cannon), and runs faster than you, so you can neither destroy it nor escape it and your only hope is to just ignore it and haul ass to the end of the level before you run out of HP.
And the one that got my pick was
that
game's
even worse
sequel.
Whose title is Mega Man III even though there is no Mega Man II.
