games not worth their cost

[Woodsey]

English doesn't like being Raped, and discussion is awesome.

Was the capital R supposed to be ironic?

OT: Crysis Warhead - I can run Crysis on a hybrid of high and very high with a solid frame rate. When everything is on high/gamer in Warhead (which is supposedly better optimised) I'm hitting around 15FPS.

Because I'm not a whiny ***** (like some who bought Crysis and expected very high settings to work on a Pentium 4 and a Geforce 6200) I just accept that something inside just doesn't click quite right with the game. Still finished it anyway. It just looked shit (and would still only get to mid-20s on the frames).

zombie driver, ok i only paid 2? but still not really worth it, also battlefield 2142.

 

[necromanzer52]

I would've been really pissed off if I'd bought bioshock when it first came out at full price.

Fortunately I bought it 2 years later for ?27 which it is worth (barely).

 

[Joshimodo]

Modern Warfare 2.

It's awful.

 

[The Real Sandman]

Rouge Warrior wins by default.

Two-and-a-half hours long, no replay value and it's a bug-wriddled mess. All for $50.

Any Wii Game hahah

rofl, yeah gotta agree with this guy.

In Australia, any new release on the ps3 (I don't care how damn fantastic it is, $110 is obscene). I fact, any full priced retail game, a $100 starting mark is plain retarded, especially when teh same game can be imported from elsewhere for ~$60 (usually cheaper)...

Specificially, I can't think of anything recently I've bought. I'd say left 4 dead 2, but that's dirt cheap so it probably is worth it. I guess Modern warfare 2, as I hear the campaign is short and the multiplayer butchered, but I didn't bother with it so I'm hardly an authority.

 

[sauerkraus]

I TRADE most of my games with my friends. It's less of a let-down to know I didn't pay to play a bad game. But I did purchase DJ Hero. What was I thinking?

lol, trade, lmao

OT: The Elemental Gearbolt briefcase. I believe the last one sold for around 3 grand.

I like EG, but not that much.

Bad games? Boogie.

Ugh... I hate Boogie.

Paintball 2009 for Xbox, it's not even worth the £20 I paid. I feel sorry for whoever spent £40.

The only games that I feel are worth the money you spend are MMO's. I can buy 2 games for £40 each and I'll get bored of them both within a month, I can play an MMO (and probably not get bored) for a month, and for a lot less.

 

[Internet Kraken]

Osmos [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/326.161590], even though I bought on sale for only 2.50$. That doesn't change the fact that it became so bad that I couldn't even beat it. Such a shame.

I watched the Context Sensitive review of that once.

I was never the same after seeing the gameplay.

 

[Rific]

COD4

Assassin's creed 2

Arma II

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon rising

Alot of online games

 

[the-darkness]

Army of Two. Thankfully, the mad fun when playing co-op, the upgradable weapons and the DLC that added two more levels kind of blinded me from the fact that the game wasn't worth 69.99 ?. Still fun, though.

 

[BaldursBananaSoap]

I can see this thread is going to contain an awful lot of the words "Warfare" and "Modern", possibly with a "2" thrown in for good measure

Maybe because it lasts around four hours and has a reskinned multiplayer that is hardly different from the previous two games? AND it costs over full price.

 

[Liberaliterr]

Modern Warfare 2. I didn't actually buy it (played my brothers copy), but if I had it wouldn't have been worth it because the campaign is so short and I have no interest in the multiplayer.

The first assassins creed wouldn't have been worth the full price either, I got it pre-owned really cheap and it was so repetitive.

 

[LordGarbageMan]

Super smash bros brawl, left 4 dead, and gears of war. SSBB was just shit, l4d was repetitive, and gears multiplayer sucked, especially because they didn't have hardcore mode.

Aye, I know and agree, was just getting the inevitable out of the way

 

[ArmoredCavalry]

COD4

That game was worth every penny and then some.

As for a game that wasn't worth the money I spent. Probably Dawn of War 2, because I have only played it for a couple hours since it was released...
