Most poorly optimised game ever?

1) Driv3r

2) True Crime New York City

3) Big Rigs Over The Road Racing

Neverwinter nights 2 and Stalker... stalker runs good on my system but I feel that it could run better... Last time I played NWN2 it ran like poo poo(scientific term)... I don't know if some of the patches they have released have fixed anything but it felt like it was imbedded deep with in the game code and no patch would fix it... both games don't look great by any means and in no way should run like crap on any system made after 2004...

Did you realise that your sig says you have "2 x Geforce 9750 GT KO"

LOL

I know what I have in my PC I did build it... was there another point to your post because I don't understand what point you are trying to make....

I have 2 Geforce GT KOs 512MB/ea the one in the link to be precise...

Neverwinter Nights 2, as mentioned many times. Horribly optimized game with horrible clunky movement and camera controls.

Only game I ever quit playing because of it's movement and optimization.

gothic 3

if anybody has an opinin diferent mine they are very probably wrong and should play gothic 3

carcina

I agree, I reached the minimum specs and coulnd't even run it. 0-0.9 FPS is NOT enough. 

My friend said Half Life 2 was crap because Valve didn't optimize it at all. I was kind of looking at him inquiringly because I could get it to run on a computer with only 128 MB of ram and a 32MB ATI card. It turned out to be a ton of viruses and spyware so now I always make sure to check for that before I call a game poorly optimized because it could sometimes not be the developers fault.G4mbl3

Haha, HL2 is the most well optimized game ever.

Anyway, the worst optimized games that I've played would be:

The Gothic games

Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines

Deus Ex 2 (Atleast I remember it being pretty bad.)

One of the Warhammer 40k games that I tried playing a few weeks ago, it looked like **** basically, but ran really poorly, I had to quit playing. I hate 3D RTS's

I would say Halo 2.

I know nothing about graphics cards but I clicked on your link and the number on the box says 7950, while you typed 9750...I think you just transposed the first two numbers, which is why someone pointed that out...it's ok, I used to work in banking and did that/saw that happen quite a bit. 

Well, Ive had no problems with S.T.A.L.K.E.R or Vegas, no bugs no nothing. I would have to say Armed Assault and GRAW take the prize hands down!! GRAW gets it for the AWESOME AI of your teamies!!!!!!!! :?

I have STALKER and trust me, Top Spin 2 and Test Drive Unlimited are about 10 times worse!!

STALKER, with dynamic lighting and AA turned off runs fine on my setup.  Top Spin 2 does not even let you turn off AA and whatever lighting effect it uses!  You dont know what poorly optimised is until you try Top Spin 2!!!

OK then. But in your sig it says you have a 9750GT [a card which doesn't even exist]. I think you got the number 7 and 9 the wrong way around. :P 

Silent Hunter 4 hands downTiesto05

Totally, it bogs down my dual-core like none other.

Then I gotta say Supreme Commander and STALKER.

hehe. good one

DOH! good eye... lol i dont know how i didnt see that twice...

That's not even possible.... 

STALKER AND RAINBOW SIX VEGAS!!!!streetpkp2

Never played stalker but man rainbow six vegas ISNT OPTIMIZED AT ALL!! DONT PLAY THIS ON PC

What are you talking about!!  You can turn AA and dynamic lighting off!

hl2 source engine because the bad netcode and how cpu intensive it is which is further hurt by the fact valve has yet to release any kind of update for multicore processors.

stalker because the time they spent on development and yet it ships with plenty of bugs and horrible dynamic lighting.

supreme commander takes the cake though for a game with such simplistic ie bad graphics the game still chugs along even when on a top of the line computer. sure the game has a massive scale but the poor performance of the game shows the quality of the programming involved and the amount of effort they put in to make it playable without hiccups.

HL2 is like the best optimized game.  You can run it on high with like nothing.

oops. I thought you said you had dynamic lighting on with AA off and it ran fine on your setup. I have a 7600 GT and turning on dynamic lighting dropped my frames to around 30FPS and I got major stuttering.(I talking about 10 second hangs) So i just misread your post. Turning off dynamic lighting effectively makes the game look like it was made in 2003 though.  

STALKER, DOOM3 (by that moment), Neverwinter Nights 2, STARSHIP TROOPERS (REALLY BAD GAME AND RIDICULOUS OPTIMIZATION), DOUBLE AGENT, SPIDERMAN 3napster89

spiderman 3 isn't even out yet.... 

topic ^.

what do you think?

I'd give the title to either STALKER, R6 Vegas or Splinter Cell Double Agent.

dbowman

I agree with you.

R6 Vegas, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Splinter Cell Pandora Tommorow,  Prince Of Persia Warrior Within 

The only reason everyone is not listing Top Spin 2 over all these others is because almost no one bought Top Spin 2.  If you had a copy I guarantee you it would be your top pick, with Test Drive Unlimited at a close #2.

I almost forgot Hidden & Dangerous *twitch*

Not only was the game poorly optimised, but it had the most glitches I've ever seen.

Gothic 3 in my experience.

 SIN ran like crap too, compared to half-life 2.

A game I simply can't play is Silent Hill 4... the game is so badly optimised that cutscenes are locked to 15fps!!

And I agree with everyone else, Stalker is number 1 on most poorly optimised game, followed by Top Spin 2.

yeah i dont see how hl2 is poorly optimized.i use the lost coast benchmark everytime I buy a new cpu or gpu.only issue was the sound stutter and last time I played ep2 there wasnt any skipping at all so its fixed i think. 

Gothic 3 was terrible period.

STALKER had some major issues as well.

 FEAR EP had some major hiccups but otherwise ran well.

2 more 2 consider.

 Dark Messiah and Vampire Bloodlines both used the Source engine from what I understand and still managed to run poorly, although not terribly, but when you consider the fact that they both use a highly optimized engine it is quite dissappointing. 

You guys that say STALKER must not have been playing PC games for very long, anyone remember a little title called deus ex invisible war? That game ran like complete **** on everyones system, STALKER ran just perfectly on my 6800gs, 20 - 40 fps and it was very playable.
