Not counting games that were unfun because of bugs, what’s the most unfun video game that you’ve played and what made it unfun? (kbin.cafe)

Most of the video games I’ve played were pretty good. The only one I can think of that I didn’t like was MySims Kingdom for the Nintendo DS. Dropped that pretty quickly. It was a long while ago, but I’ll guess it was because there were too many fetch quests and annoying controls.

Progress Quest.

It's certainly funny but it is not a fun game. It plays itself. Literally. That's the point. It was something you ran along side with your mIRC client to show your uptime in a fun way.

I don't find any of those kinds of games fun. From Cookie Clicker to most mobile games, "idle games" are just the most unfun, un-game-like games ever made.

That's the thing: progress quest isn't an idle game. It's a parody of modern games that was made long before idle games were a thing. It wasn't fun just like a joke isn't an interesting story.

I would say it was the grandaddy of idle games. It was made as a joke, but actual games have followed its model seriously. And it sucks. It parodies JRPGs, many of which had an auto-battle option. But that was still just an option, and they typically had stories and other fun things about them.
