10 Video Games Made INTENTIONALLY Bad To Prove A Point
1. Goat Simulator
Of all the intentionally bad games out there, this one is the G.O.A.T. Pun entirely intended. This weird little gem was created by the developers of the brilliant FPS/Tower Defense hybrids Sanctum and Sanctum 2, Coffee Stain Studios.
Goat Simulator combines broken physics, corny references to other media and a satanic goat cult in one bizarre, questless open world... RPG? In this game the role you are playing is the ultimate harbinger of chaos - an unruly goat.
This game answers the question that mods removing the opening trawls of RPGs like Skyrim and Fallout 4 ask: Can we please just get underway with the shenanigans?
When asked in an interview how they would develop the game, lead developer Armin Ibrisagic had this to say: "We want to keep the game stupid. It's supposed to be buggy", hoping to maintain some of the virality that its original and chaotic trailer garnered.
The game was created by adding a random goat model into Unreal Engine, and then throwing it at stuff to see how the nVidia Apex framework would respond. That spontaneity, carelessness and slapstick sense of humour carries through into the final project.
