Let’s face it, for every good videogame you’ve played in
your life, you can probably recall a dozen that you’ve played that simply weren’t
up to par. Every aspect of life has its duds, and video games are no
exceptions, whether it’s the result of poor controls, bad writing, or just a
really crappy independent company that has no business making video games in
the first place. We can all recall plenty of games that are just horrible, but
which game SERIES is the worst? In my opinion, it’s got to be The Sims. I know
this will probably seem like a strange choice to many readers, due to its popularity,
when there are so many other games out there that are universally hated. And I’ll
admit, there are a few things that The Sims does well which can make it “fun”
to play. But if we’re talking about it in terms of series, The Sims comes out
on top because of the fact that more universally hated games are usually a
single game without a series because they were so bad that the developers
dropped it immediately, or because they are a lone dud within the midst of a
successful and well-done franchise. For me, The Sims matches neither of these
criteria, so let’s jump right into the fray.
