Games you regret buying

[Alcamonic]

MW2 - PC
So many damn hackers, completely ruined the game experience for me, it was fun with a few friends though. But could've had as much fun buying a few pizzas and movies.

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

You're trolling, right? RIGHT???

Probably not. Bioshock got overhyped to shit and back in the wake of its release. Remember, when the game came out about the only negative reveiw it got was from a PS3 fansite, that claimed that it suffered (among other (similar) things) from texture compression, which could easily be fixed when it got released to a blu-ray disk for the PS3. Now, overall it's a good game, but really? That good? No.

Sorry this quoting got a little messed up, but down to business. I'm confused by your statements. You claim it is "a good game" but then you also seem to support Archvile93 in claiming it isn't even worth $5. I would personally say these two statements are mutually exclusive.

You're mostly right. I should clarify:

I find it entertaining, and calling it "a good game" was personal unchecked bias on my part. Overall the game seems to be slightly above average. The raw shooter mechanics are sub-par. The RPG mechanics don't work (for many). The narrative kinda works the first time, and has some interesting details after the reveal, but as Spoiler Warning season 3 has been showing, without knowing about the reveal, your character behaves like a moron repeatedly.

Now, for a player coming to the game, who's been told it's the second coming, it's pretty easy to play for a couple hours and come to the conclusion that "this is raw shit".

Or as Pirate Man said:

Bioshock (Meh, just meh. Gameplay was boring and clunky and I found nothing in the atmosphere/story.)

 

[hurfdurp]

The most recent Final Fantasy. I'm never going to play that thing.

 

[Always_Remain]

Biggest recent regret? Hmmm I'd have to say Grand Theft Auto 3 for the PS2. The controls just make me want to strangle a baby. (plus the first GTA game I played was San Andreas and that's probably the best one)

18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul

I don't know what came over me.

That's the Absinthe talking.

Come to think of it, I've got a copy of Neverend around here somewhere.

 

[Teh_Dave]

Deadspace, I kind of got into it for a while then it just bored me to tears.

 

[TheEndlessSleep]

Operation Flashpoint 2. I assumed that it would be better than the first one (which was great). Oh how i was wrong...

AND NO MAP EDITOR? that was the best part, you bastards.

 

[Jericho_Reivaj]

Wow now im embarrassed I think i am the only idiot that actually bought Sonic The Hedgehog for xbox360. Worst 10 bucks ever spent. I dont even have to rant about how bad it is because i think everyone knows. I have officially been marked the Fool.

 

[SantoUno]

Fucking Left 4 Dead 2.

I honestly don't understand why others find it so fun, me it always frustrates me to the point where I loathe hearing the soundtrack or popping in just to keep other friends entertained.

It's really odd because I had lots of fun playing the first one, so I don't know why I hate this one.

There is one. It's in a separate ap, and handles like shit.

The Witcher (May not have given this one the chance it deserves judging by other people's opinions of it, but the 1 hour I did try it out bored the tears out of me.)

The Witcher's kinda a bastard. On one hand there's some really brilliant material there. On the other hand it drags out the choice ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- consequence time to ridiculous extremes.

I've never gotten past ch4 because of this, actually.

There's also some structural weirdness in the narrative.

Farcry 2

Once more with feeling...

DAMN THEE UBISOFT! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

 

[Silver]

Valhalla. Seemed to be a typical rpg, except they kinda left out the button for the character screen, so it's impossible to level up, or increase your skills, and there's no patches for it.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

Rainbow Six for the PS1 on the PSN store.

It's bad in every single possible way.

 

[Traun]

Dragon age DLC...never buy DLC from Bioware...ever...again...

 

[Always_Remain]

Dragon age DLC...never buy DLC from Bioware...ever...again...

*COUGH* LAIR OF THE SHADOWBROKER *COUGH*

 

[DeASplode]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

First one was at least better than Bioshock 2.

Though that's not saying a lot imo.

 

[Eren Murtaugh]

I regret buying Mirror's Edge. It was just so...boring. Also, I severely regret buying any Sonic game after it left the Genesis. 007 was another that I almost regretted. Odd-job was an ass hole to beat in multiplayer.

 

[Gudrests]

Plain Sight, Star Wars: Empire at war gold, Freedom Force vs. the 3ed reich.......there wwas a sale on steam..what?

 

[Sun Flash]

Mass Effect - never has a game failed to live up to hype like this before. And this is coming from someone who plays Fable.


Also when I first got a PS2, there was a game called Eternal Ring I think. Awful beyond recognition. It actually depressed me.
