10 Terrible Video Games You Can't Help But Love
5. Daymare: 1998
The original Resident Evil game managed to capture lightning in a bottle. Not only was it expertly directed and provided some of the most iconic horror villains and monsters in gaming, but its uber cheesy dialogue managed to win the hearts of gamers the world over, becoming seen as a game with A+ ranked gameplay and a B-Movie script.
Enter Daymare. Which if we're using the same expression is ranked C in the gameplay department and has a script not even a Z-lister would touch.
And yet, it is easily the most banter survival horror game I've played in ages. In fact, our own Greg Hicks called it "hot steamy wank" and yet still managed to have more than a few laughs thanks to the title's inability to deliver scares or even bloody serviceable line readings across its runtime.
And I use "runtime" very loosely as the game had more hard crashes than a destruction derby. Still, if you're in the mood for some utter, stinky, almost offensively terribad gameplay that may or may not run and which is utterly (and unintentionally hilarious), then Daymare is for you.
