Buyer's Remorse

[Owyn_Merrilin]

For me it's Universe Sandbox. It's still kind of cool, and I knew it was more of a toy than a game when going in, but I dunno -- you'd think turning the sun into a black hole and throwing meteors at the earth would be more entertaining than this. The upside is it was only $2.49, so it's not a huge loss. Plus, it pads my list of games of Raptr that I'm highly ranked in, since it seems like most people don't play it for more than a couple of minutes. I was in the top 60% of players after half an hour of play...

oh thats easy fallout 3. The game only cost me $30 because i got it when circit city went out of buisness but it wasnt even worth that. it was buggy as hell (yes i patched didnt help) you can be attack by super mutants within 5 mins of leaving the vault if you take a wrong turn, and dont even get me started of the story......just uhg

 

[Smeggs]

Fallout 1 has some graphical shit going on because my computer is too good I guess xD I just couldn't fix it. I'm not very computer-savvy. Good thing it was only $5.00.

 

[Don't taze me bro]

Others have already said it. Diablo 3. Even worse, I picked up a collector's edition on a whim. That was $140 worth of buyer's remorse.

I only bought two. Binding of Isaac and Jamestown.

I have my regrets about buying the Isaac complete collection because the DLC is total shit and adds a few new cool things in exchange for a massive helping of bullshit enemies and level layouts where the rest of the game used to be.

I wouldn't say I regret buying Jamestown as such, given the price. But holy shit was that game short. Being something of a bullet hell aficionado caused me to fly through the whole game on Legendary in less than an hour and Divine in another hour. Divine, incidentally, is the hardest difficulty you can play initially, beating it unlocks the hardest setting.

Then came Judgement difficulty, which is so laughably poorly balanced with comparison to the rest of the difficulties that I don't even want to bother with it. I mean, I paid a pittance for the game but I still don't feel like I got my money's worth since I mullered the thing on the second to hardest setting but the hardest is so ridiculously out of my league I don't even want to bother, such a pity.

I bought Dragon Age: Origins full price...I felt like an idiot, mainly because I was told it was like Oblivion...It doesn't hold a damn candle to Oblivion.

Last Remnant, full price, only because it was in shops for 20 euro a week later.

Mirrors Edge, 20 euro, what an annoying fucking game

Catherine, full price, the game-play was fucking wretched, but the narrative and characters were fucking brilliant. I did one playthrough and will not do another.

I have more, but I would rather not.

Who told you Dragon Age was like oblivion? Because they are totally different games for totally different people, that person is an idiot (Sorry if their your friend)

Alpha Protocol. It was broken and when I finally did manage to play the damn thing it was boring.

Also Freedom Force, because it won't run and Steam has horrible customer support.

yeah unfortunately you need an older system to run freedom force. last i heard its pretty much xp only

Get them off GOG. I got Freedom Force vs The Third Reich and it runs like a charm on my Win7 64-bit. GOG optimizes games for modern OSes

Also, Alpha Protocol was amazing.

I bought the Force Unleashed 2 and deeply regret it. Horribad game.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Depends really.

My computer can't handle CoD4, which I bought for around twenty bucks when I was feeling a tad bit optimistic that day. I've only put 14 minutes into the STALKER game that I bought, which barely ran on my computer at the lowest settings but there was still a serious disconnect between how long it took my guy to react to the control input. I've heard how challenging it is, and it's not exactly something I was to try and play on a laggy computer.

There's also Counter Strike: Source, which isn't exactly a game you can play casually. Especially on a track pad with no mouse. Still had a load a fun making the bots all use knives while I run around with whatever gun I feel like.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

None! Haha!

Well, Arkham City a little due to the DRM, but it's a good game so I don't really care.

I didn't buy Arkham City specifically because they touted the Hell out of playing as Catwoman but then a week before launch they revealed that you can only be Catwoman if you buy new and enter a little code online. Since I can't get online with my 360 I kind of felt a bit lied to and am still wary about picking up the GotY edition...

This isn't exactly recent but my PS3 on the whole. At this point I'm using it as a blu-ray player exclusively but when I was using it as a gaming platform there wasn't a single game that I played on it that I wanted to play long-term. I beat God of War 3 after having rented it, I couldn't get into 3D Dot Heroes, I couldn't stick with Modnation Racers, I couldn't stick with LBP after the story mode and, I never cared for Uncharted to begin with. Also couldn't get into GTA4 or any of the FPS games on the PS3 seemed unintuitive and annoying because of the large, marshmallow-like shoulder buttons on the PS3 controller. The only actual game-game I still have for my PS3 is Trinity Universe which has the slowest, most boring opening 2-hours to any other JRPG I've ever experienced. This was back in 2009/2010 by the way: I got a new X360 around 2010, my first having died on me in 2008/2009.

Demon's Souls, everyone seemed to go on about how it was "old-school" difficulty, but i wasn't expecting the combat to be completely broken. Difficulty aside, i felt it was just a badly made game

 

[The Hero Killer]

Soul Calibur V, I thought I would enjoy it as much as the other ones just to find out they overhauled the combat and stripped away all the extra features to make it geared toward the tournament scene.

 

[DanielBrown]

Bought L.A Noire Complete Edition a while back. It was a decent game, but I wish I had spent the money on Dragons Dogma instead. LA Noire is too slowly paced for me.
Didn't last that long either.

 

[Snowbell]

I bought all three Mass Effects, then remembered why I hate shooters

Recently I had some buyer's remorse from purchasing Skate 3 for $20. The reason isn't the money; it's just the game is a lot harder to control on a PS3 controller. I used to play the game a ton on my brother's 360, and now that I have my own console, I picked it up on the PS3. Man, it's so much harder to do certain flip tricks than it was on the 360. I highly prefer the 360 controllers' small, tight and responsive joysticks. It feels like I have to move the joysticks twice as far to get the same effect on the PS3. Maybe the PS3's have a higher deadzone? Or my controller is just slightly broken...

Oddly, I also recently bought a $400 TV and have felt zero buyer's remorse. The Steam sale didn't give me any grief either. Except for the 50 cent Shark Gun I got for Saint's Row 3. Like all the novelty weapons, it gets old fast and needs more ammo. But feeling guilty about 50 cents is really hard.

Demigods - uggh... It's a HoN-clone that costs money. Graphics are neat, but... again, HoN clone. Costs money. SOMEONE GONE BUGGERED UP HERE (besides me, of course).

I know this doesn't really matter but Demigod did come out about a year before Heroes of Newerth did. So, they're both just DotA-likes. Plus, I think Demigod plays differently, and you can do unique things in it like upgrade your creeps instead of buying items. Note: I don't like Demigod... or HoN, well HoN's ok but I prefer DotA 2 and LoL. This useless information has been brought to you by fuzzy logic. Goodbye.
