BOG - Bad Old Games
Added by
Novotnus Let's be honest here - we have some bad games on GOG. Or rather we have some games infamous for their critical reception. We have LSL: Magna Cum Laude. We have Daikatana. Some people and many reviewers don't seem to like Jack Orlando: Director's Cut (I played the non-DC one and I must say I know why those cuts were made). We have Phantasmagoria 2 which is cheesy and plain weird. We can go on with this a while longer or mention bad games that appear on the wishlist and get votes. I'm not complaining. Actually I'm happy they are here, I own some of those and plan to buy the rest in the future. I think I'm not the only one. I don't know what are the other's reasons, but I like to call myself a curiosity collector. That's why I would like to see a BOG category here. We, bad games fans, would love to see those terrible atrocities brought here and dropped into a BOG so we can fish them out and indulge our guility pleasures of bad gaming without interrupting GOG normal flow and overall quality of the service.
fridgeband I would argue that 90% of every game ever made (not just on gog) is a "bad game". But that's just my opinion of course. There's no real way to measure "goodness" in this section because everyone is going to link a different game and dislike a different one. If it were up to me it would be easier to make a list of games that are Not bad, but again, opinions.
gamefood Funny idea, but no vote from me. A GOG-mix suffices fully. Besides: There's no accounting for taste.
Skywalkerpl Waaaaay too controversial. Even in your "Daikatana" example - there's many people who consider it an unpolished diamond, one of the best games of the period.
If you want BOG - make your own ~B~GOG mix ;)
thiagovscoelho Then people would complain about which games are in BOG and which are not.

placa4 It would be a better idea tu just sort the games with the score system (2 stars, 3 stars... etc) inside the site.
LeonardoCornejo The truth is it is possible to make BOG happen, maybe as a promo, I mean, an special compilation of games which became known for bad reception but were still enjoyable, so bad they were good, and it would not be an insult to the game, It could be called parody.
MechaKong If GOG started a sister site called BOG that would be great. They could launch the site by giving out free copies of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing.
Pixelion Voted, but better call it B-Games or Obscure Games. According to the following post: www.gog.com/forum/general/letter_from_the_md_about_regional_pricing/post2664 it seems GOG doesnt want to present games as "Bad Games"here.
joppo what @avatarOfLight said. If I was an IP owner closing a deal with GOG I would be absolutely irritated to see my game pop up on an "official bad games" list. I'd probably back out of the deal or at least call my lawyers and ask for compensations.
Creating a GogMix seems the best way to go.

Not enough material for a good mix of many flavours :)
BjornvandeSand I'd say this is highly unrealistic. People who own the rights to these games won't want them to be put into a "bad game" category. How about just making a bad games GOG mix?
evernostalgia This needs more votes! I'd love a BOG section. Playing bad games can be funny, and then there's that category of old games we loved as a kid that are probably terrible but we love them anyway and want to revisit memories.
