Though I get the bagging on ET - and I lived through it; I owned that game - it isn't so much urban legend than straw that broke the camel's back for the games industry at the time and being the scapegoat since with the true and proven legend about the recalled carts buried in a landfill.
Objectively, being the poorly designed rushjob made by a single person that it was, it wasn't like it was much worse than Raiders of the Lost Ark (where you needed the instructions for ET, you needed the included goddamn map and walkthru for Raiders). But all that considered, the biggest problem with ET was the touchy controls. Shit was frustrating with the stiff-ass joystick with a single button that had to do multiple functions.
My vote for 2019 games:
1) Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
2) The Outer Worlds
3) River City Girls
Honorable Mention) Resident Evil 2*

(with the qualifier that though I love RE, and the game came out this year, I don't really like the ammo eating nature of the retooled mechanics - added frustration for frustraton's sake just to do something different from the masterful remake of 1)
My vote for shitty shit shit-tier turd tournament:
Shaq-Fu. You know your fighting game is terrible when, on a roster of bland and rather forgettable misfits, the titular character is also the whackest.
