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

Excluding weird mac games and other multiple entries:

7,62 High Calibre, 99 Spirits, A Virus Named Tom, Acceleration of Suguri X-Edition, Alpha Protocol, Arma 2, Arma: Cold War Assault, Arma: Gold Edition, Aura: Fate of the Ages, Bad Rats, Blade Symphony, Blockland, Blood Bowl: Legendary Edition, Chainz 2: Relinked, Chicken Shoot 2, Chicken Shoot Gold, Cities XL Platinum, Clickr, Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Uprising, Company of Heroes, Crysis 2 Maximum Edition, Damnation, Darksiders, Dead Bits, Defy Gravity, DiRT 3, Disciples 3: Reincarnation, E.Y.E: Divine Cybermancy, Eets Munchies, Europa Universalis 3, eXceed - Gun Bullet Children, Gotham City Imposters, Guardians of Middle-earth, Heileen 1: Sail Away, I Am Vegend, IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946, Lilly Looking Through, LUXOR: 5th Passage, Master Reboot, Medieval II: Total War, Midnight Mysteries: Salem Witch Trials, Midnight Mysteries: The Edgar Allan Poe Conspiracy, Mortak Kombat Kollection, Natural Selection 2, Nuclear Dawn, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Paranormal State: Poison Spring Collector's Edition, Planet Alcatraz, Red Orchestra 2, Revenge of the Titans, Rise of the Argonauts, Roogoo, Rush Bros, Sacred Citadel, Science Girls, SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics, Sideway, Sniper Ghost Warrior 2, SpaceChem, STORM: Frontline Nation, Strategic War in Europe, Suguri, Super Hexagon, Superfrog HD, Take on Helicopters, Titan Attacks, Tower Wars, Universe Sandbox, Vanguard Princess, War of the Roses, Worms Pinball, Worms Ultimate Mayhem.

Some of them are legitimately bad games, some of them just aren't my kind of game. Either way, I've played all of them at least long enough to know that I'm not interested in playing them again. I don't really like bullet hell, fighting, RTS, or tower defense games, so pretty much all of those end up on the crap list. I'm also very picky about FPS, TPS, and puzzle games. I won't like an FPS or TPS unless it's very arcade-y and basic in terms of the shooting and any other gameplay elements are equally simple. I'll pretty much quit if I see killstreak mechanics, anything that I have trouble controlling, or anything that doesn't work intuitively. And I can't even really explain why some puzzle games click with me and some don't, except to say that I really dislike being forced to hurry in a puzzle game and anything that forces you to play under some kind of timer is here.

Alpha Protocol would be awesome with a co-op campaign. But sadly, the revolutionary voice control that works like sh*t destroyed the experience for me. I told to the microphone (I think quite) clearly: NO . Recognised: Charge. After 1-2 hours of great gameplay - paused by the command-needy parts - I had enough and deleted the content. I think I'll sink the game somewhere until a better option cames around.

I liked Alpha Protocol until the device and stealth training. I couldn't figure out how NPCs detecting me worked, and the items that were supposed to distract and stun enemies seemed pretty much impossible to use. Since I tend to prefer the stealth approach in games where it's available, I gave up when I realized it wasn't going to work at all.

Ah, yeah, I haven't gotten around to Binary Domain yet, so I just figured you were talking about something that I didn't try to use. Alpha Protocol has enough weird mechanics piled in that voice control on the menus didn't sound insane to me.

It's my default category.

I have 3 categories which I play, uncategorised games are the "crap" category for me.

The categories are;
1-FAVORITES
2-DONE
3-FINISH ASAP
4-UNLIMITED GAMEPLAY

And the crap "GAMES".

mfw this thread has tons of people listing stuff from my wishlist/all time favourites

I don't really have one, I'm not one to buy on impulse. If I had to pick someone I regret buying, it would be Left 4 Dead. It's a fantastic game, but two weeks later Valve announced the sequel. The only time they ever released a sequel earlier than expected and it just had to be a game that rendered my recent purchase obsolete.

Yeah, between all the huge lists posted, I'd be more surprised if someone hadn't had a personal favorite game listed in here. That's why I tried to explain my list a little, so nobody would be horribly offended that I just posted their favorite game in the same list as Bad Rats.

Good call on Guardians. I actually don't dislike the idea behind it, the problem is no one plays it so its basically useless. Moving that fucker into my crap category now.

Yeah it's only really fun co op with good friends in my opinion, same with L4D. I could never play those games alone or with randoms for more than 5 minutes.

I disagree. I mostly played through Borderlands single player and it was awesome.

It's a little lackluster in single player, but it's still a good game. In co-op it's absolutely fantastic. Not the same for Borderlands 2. Alone or in co-op that game is crazy fun.

:| I'd love to have Super meat boy too - didn't get the discount I hoped for at summer sale. But I'm quite sure I'd either complete it, or left it unfinished with blood pressure over 9000. It's the game that isn't for everyone :)

Yea, SMBoy is definitely not a game for everyone. I personally like to torture myself, so I tend to like it as just completing certain levels brings a feeling of real accomplishment. I also love the soundtrack.

Not exactly a crap category.

Fortix: great game!

I choose Anodyne, Bad Rats, Eldritch, English Country Tune, Lunnye Devitsy. Why? I felt dizzy after them...

Batman: Arkham City (same reason as OP with Deus Ex, I own the GOTY edition now)

Borderlands (the sequel is better in every way)

BRINK (dead, and crap to begin with)

I thought about giving Dota 2 a shot, but didn't want to be raged at. So in order to clear it from my library, i put it in my junk list. The time i play HL 2 DM, I couldn't find any matches anywhere. So i never bothered with it again.

How are audiosurf and l4d2 boring?
audiosurf-maybe if you load it up when you want to play a game... no no no, you load that up when you are in the mood to listen to music, then its glorious....

l4d - maybe if you play solo/with randoms...no no no, its a co-op game, you chop/shoot zombies with friends.... then its fun time

You're spot on. If all I want to do is listen to music then usually I'm bored.

Call me old fashioned but I never really got into the whole multiplayer experiences. I enjoy the story in a game. Tried l4d once solo and realized it's not for me

I don't buy crap games. I do have a few I regret but that's it.

If I did have a list of crap games I don';t own, the CoD series would be on top.

You have Aliens Colonial Marines though.

Not judging. I have it too (and its in my crap category). It was like $1.99 or something crazy like that during the xmas sale on Amazon and I will give games a chance at that price. "It can't be THAT bad" I naively think lol. Same thing with Takedown Red Sabre, that was like 0.99, but it gave me a gift copy and drops cards and I actually profited from that.

If I know a game is shit before I get it, it takes a situation like these two for me to get it. Ill try it and if its shit, so be it. I feel sorry for the people that paid full price for shit games.
