History YMMV / BadDayLA

* BileFascination: The game is only known due to it's mostly negative critical reception, mostly getting scores below 3 out of 10, and especially after being shitted on by WebVideo/Civvie11.
* EthnicScrappy: Many of the characters are one-note racial stereotypes who's only exist to make jokes about their nationality and/or race and nothing else.

* TheScrappy: Anthony, not only is he a complete self-centered {{Jerkass}} who only cares about himself, but he is also an obnoxious, poorly-written pastiche of Creator/DaveChappelle with a grating, high-pitched voice who frequently spouts-out an barage of unfunny one-liners.

* AcceptableTargets: Almost everything that is considered acceptable for ridicule.

* UncannyValley: Despite going for a cartoony art-style, the characters all look lifeless and move more like stiff robots than actual human beings.

* ValuesDissonance: The game's (failed) attempts at satire and dark humor and heavy use of racial stereotyping for laughs wouldn't even be accepted in the planning stages.

* HarsherInHindsight: The game's premise where chaos in Los Angeles (such as virus outbreak, riots, unnecessary violence, militarized police, and racial disparities) ensues have become this regarding the UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic and [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Floyd_protests 2020 George Floyd riots]], in which the elements within the plot look eerily similar. Even American [=McGee=] himself pointed it out [[https://twitter.com/americanmcgee/status/1267312428129239040 according to a Twitter post back in June 1st]]!

* SpecialEffectsFailure: The game looks absolutely cheap and outdated, even by budget game standards. Not only that much more visually impressive and technically advanced games like VideoGame/Doom3 and VideoGame/HalfLife2 came out two-years prior, but the first VideoGame/GearsOfWar would come out two months before this game came out. The game sound-design is also very piss-poor, with poor audio mixing, crappy and wimpy sound effects, and heaving usage of stock-sounding music.

* ValuesDissonance: The game's (failed) attempts at satire and dark humor and heavy use of racial stereotyping for laughs wouldn't even be accepted in the planning stages. To keep this in perspective, Civvie 11 compare the game's satire to that to a Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg movie or [[Series/MindOfMencia Carlos Mencia's]] stand-up routines.

* MostAnnoyingSound:
** All the screams and grunts in the game, due to barely sounding like they came from a human being.
** Anthony's frequent one-liners will frequently drive many gamers crazy.

The game sound-design is also very piss-poor, with poor audio mixing, very little sound effects, and every character having the same stock scream and grunt effects as everyone else.

* UncertainAudience: One of the biggest criticisms of the game. The game is far too violent and inappropriate for younger gamers but far too stupid and juvenile for anyone over 17.
