One of the games often considered to have a bad story is 'No Man's Sky' at launch. The initial story was rather thin and unengaging. There were promises of a deep, meaningful exploration - but the story elements didn't really come together well, leaving players feeling a bit let down.
Cyberpunk 2077 also had some issues with its story. While it had an interesting setting, the main story had a lot of plot holes and pacing problems. Some of the side quests were much more engaging than the main narrative, which made the overall story feel disjointed.
In my opinion, 'Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)' has a really bad story. The plot is overly complicated and full of holes. There are time-travel elements that just end up confusing the players more than adding depth to the story.
I think Sonic 06 has a terrible story. The story tries to do too much with time travel and multiple dimensions, but it just ends up being a jumbled mess. Characters are introduced without proper backstories, and the relationships between them are not well - developed. For example, the relationship between Sonic and Elise is really strange and doesn't seem to fit the Sonic universe at all.
The worst comic games often suffer from weak storylines that don't do justice to the source material. Take 'Comic World Chaos' - it had a confusing plot that made no sense.
In my opinion, games that are super grind - heavy can be among the worst for fanfic. The focus on repetitive tasks in these games doesn't offer much in the way of interesting plot or character elements for a fanfic. For instance, some mobile games where you just keep doing the same thing over and over to level up. Games that are too niche and have a very small fanbase can also be difficult. There might not be enough interest or existing knowledge among readers for a fanfic based on such a game. And finally, games with a lot of licensed content that are difficult to work with legally are not great for fanfic writing.
Well, it could be a fanfiction that just has really unlikable characters. In the Hunger Games, we expect characters to have some depth and motivation. But in a bad fanfiction, they might be just one - dimensional. Say, a character is only mean for the sake of being mean without any backstory or reason. Also, if the fanfiction is just a copy - paste of other stories with a Hunger Games skin slapped on it. Like using the same old plot devices from other popular franchises but just changing the names to fit the Hunger Games. That would be a sign of a really bad fanfiction.
The Witcher 3. It has a great story with many different quests and a main plot about family and destiny. Red Dead Redemption 2 is also a top pick. The story follows an outlaw and his gang, full of action and moral dilemmas. Horizon Zero Dawn has a fascinating story set in a post - apocalyptic world where machines rule. You play as Aloy and uncover the secrets of her world. BioShock Infinite is another game with a strong story. The floating city of Columbia and the relationship between Booker and Elizabeth are very interesting. And finally, Uncharted 4. Nathan Drake's last adventure has a story full of treasure hunting, mystery, and character development.
One of the worst could be 'The Hunger Games' for some. They might think the over - hyped violence and somewhat simplistic view of a dystopia is a drawback. Another might be '1984' which some find too depressing and overly bleak in its portrayal of a totalitarian future. And 'Brave New World' could also be considered among the worst by those who dislike its take on a hedonistic yet controlled society.
One could be getting stuck in a never - ending traffic jam on the way to the vacation destination. Another might be arriving at a hotel only to find out they overbooked and there's no room for you. And then there's the story of having all your luggage lost during the flight and spending days trying to get it back.
One of the worst could be 'Superman: Grounded'. In this story, Superman decides to walk across America, which seems rather dull and out of character. It lacks the usual action-packed and heroic essence that Superman stories are known for.
One of the worst could be 'One More Day' which had some controversial plot twists regarding Peter Parker's marriage. Another might be 'Civil War II' where the story felt forced and led to a lot of character decisions that didn't sit well with fans. And 'The Clone Saga' also had a very convoluted plot that confused many readers.
