World's Worst in Videogames: Zombies Rising Edition
Capcom has done some good these past few years. After giving up on repeat after repeat of Street Fighter and doing a magnificent rehaul of Resident Evil in the form of Resident Evil 4, they decided to come out with a great game for the X-Box 360, Dead Rising.
Dead Rising has its problems, notably the save system. But one thing which shouldn't have even made it into the final version was a problem with the text for standard-definition televisions.
Earlier, Capcom promised a patch to fix the text problem. But more recently, they said that the problem would be too much to fix, so they're leaving the game as is (story: http://planetxbox360.com/index.php/articledetails/show/421).
I find it bad that console games are starting to emulate the worst part of PC games: bugs that shouldn't have been in the final package. We need to have a working game out of the box, without the need to patch. But what Capcom has done is worse, that they left a huge bug in the game, and won't patch it.
For that, Capcom gets the Worst in Videogames "award."
