Bad Rats. That's it. It's the only genuinely bad game I've played in my library so far. Maybe I didn't enjoy some of the other games in my library, but just because they don't suit my tastes doesn't mean they're outright bad.

Oh, I loved VVVVVV for what it was. Challenging, but not horribly frustrating due to all the frequent temporary save points. Also, that soundtrack was amazing, especially playing late at night with headphones.
I can understand how that may not be your thing, but you may want to give it another try.

So that nobody can tell me I didn't give the game a chance. I typically play games a LOT before I review them, so that nobody can claim I just "played for x amount of time and then gave up." Also, I refused to have my good achievement ratio shit on by that horrible game... it was just insult to injury.

That logic beats me:D
I wouldnt torture myself over a game I dont enjoy, fuck those who think I gave up too early. Life is too short to waste time on shitty games.
But I still say Hotline miami is a great game, a masterpiece in it's genre. The rush, the mood, the music, the meta story it was all brilliant for me.

The game isn't a masterpiece in its genre though. In fact, my review of the game actually addresses the exact thing you just said. Not a single place in your post did you mention the gameplay; you only mentioned style. "Rush" and "mood", music, story... but what about how the game actually plays? The game consists entirely of rehearsing a run through a 17-second room of about 8 or 9 enemies until you've killed them all perfectly without so much as getting looked at the wrong way, because the AI starts on the highest level since the beginning of the game (literally, the AI never increases, the game only adds a few more enemies to each room). That is it, from beginning to end, minus a single random weird level where you don't fight anything and just try to avoid being seen.
Sure, Hotline Miami satisfies an art style, and if you want to fap to style, I guess it's great, but as a game - as a thing you play by moving a character and completing tasks - it is a complete and utter failure. It was created by people who knew how to emulate "underground 80s Miami", but not by people who knew how to create an interesting and fun game to play. So, the game is absolutely not a masterpiece in its genre of games. Maybe in a genre of movies or something else, but certainly not games. A game is more than "rush" and "art" - it has to have some kind of depth and progression. Hotline Miami has almost zero progression, because every level is almost exactly the same as the last one because of static AI levels; later levels only tack on a room and a few more enemies. That's not progression, and the stilted gameplay is not engaging, and it's just not a full package. Artsy, yes, but not a full package.

I admit gameplay is only secondary for me. I greatly enjoyed Spec ops the line, Dear Esther, Gone home etc.These games had generic or no "gameplay" in the that sense.
But I wouldn't call the gameplay of hotline miami bad. I found myself completing levels again and again, not for the archievemnts but for my own amusements. Yeah it's repetitive but I never got bored of it.
I quess we have to agree to disagree, but your claim that it's the worst game ever made is quite a strech.

When I played it, enemies constantly can see you and shoot you through walls, even though it feels like it requires an element of stealth, a lot of the game felt cheesy, and I ended up having to use a cheat to get through the thing. If I am supposed to sneak by (or at all), I shouldn't be up against a bunch of clairvoyants.

They can see you trough wall only in steam edition.

I personally call it the "I will NEVER play" category, but I might like "crap" better...A few of the games aren't that bad, I just have so many good ones still to play that I'll never play them, but most just suck.
DISCLAIMER: These games are so crappy to me that I don't care if I pressed some wrong letters on the keyboard
Adventures of Shuggy, Archeblade, The Basement Collection, Blood Bowl, Braid, Chains, Cities in Motion(I have the 2nd in my non-crap list...), Confrontation, Conquest of Champions, Crazy Machnes, Damnation, Darwinia, Demigod, Seponia, Divinity 2, Dota 2 TEST (I will play Dota 2, but the test made it in my crap list), Earth Defence Force:Insects, Enclave, Galactic Arms Race (Test), Gumboy, Hitman (Blood Money and Codename 47, NOT Absolution), Machinarium, Multiwinia, Obulis, Osmos, Overlord (!, 2, and Raising Hell), Painkiller, RAW, The Ship Tutorial (Sort of like the Dota 2 test...) Solar 2, The Swapper, Tidalis, Tbe's Vertical Adventure, Twin Sector, Vigil
Pretty big, right? I've at least installed about half of them, but the other are so bad I wouldn't even try. I have no clue where I got those from.

I recently spent a few hours organizing my Steam library. There's a current thread talking about how people are doing that here, but I was curious to those that have categorized what you have in your crap (or equivalent) category?
For me:
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Dark Matter
Deus Ex Human Revolution (I actually love this game, but I have the Director's Cut, so I put the old base game in my Zzzz/Total Crap category to get it out of the way)
DLC Quest
Final Slam 2
Fortix
Guncraft
McPixel
Orion Dino Horde
Starvoid
Takedown: Red Sabre
