Looking back, I see that your wording was "...give me some examples of worse
ones, then." So I guess, by answering, that I am calling it worse. My bad.
But I was really calling them bad games, and not necessarily worse than LGoP2.
Fine, here are some REAL bad games marketed as full price but definitely worse
than LGoP2:
Cybergenic Ranger
Virtuoso
Cyberswine
..and anything by Capstone. :-)

Yes, and why is it fun? The whole point of playing games is to complete a
challenge, to achieve something. If what you achieve is pointless or stupid or
a letdown, wouldn't you feel you've wasted your time?

The thrill of beating a game is negated by a horrible ending. The last thing I
want to feel after beating a game is foolish or stupid. I do not want to feel
like I have wasted my time. Call me crazy, but my time is WAY too valuable to
waste a month only to experience a massive letdown.
The real problem with debating which games are bad vs. truly bad is that people
think you're attacking the other person and not the game. I am only attacking
the game. If you liked it more than me, then that's great -- I'm glad someone
other than me didn't feel stupid when they finished it.
