Games you regret buying

[Dexiro]

Also... Borderlands... I bought it, and the DLC`s.... only to realise that I just didn`t find it fun at all. Not even with friends. Maybe it was me. Or maybe games with a story have spoiled me.

Oh god, i did the exact same thing xD

I have a horrible habit of buying DLC before i've played the actual game. I was kind of hoping the DLC would reignite my interest as well but it was just as bad as the rest of the game.

Call of Duty 3!
Fuck you Treyarch FUCK YOU

Burnout Paradise. I absolutely LOVE the burnout series but I really did not dig the open world. They should have let you be able to pick events off a list like in the past and have a damn restart button. I did really like the open world once i beat every challenge, it's just annoying while playing the game. But props to Criterion for consistently supporting it with DLC.

 

[MetaKnight19]

Metro 2033. I just found it boring all round.

 

[GodsAndFishes]

Red Dead Redemption. I had the choice of that or Crackdown 2, I strongly suspect that I would be happier with Crackdown 2, theres just something about Rockstar games that makes me lose interest a couple of hours in.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Heavenly Sword.. Well, someone bought it for me but it was so bad D:< And FFXII, that soon went back to Gamestation.

 

[Ldude893]

Lost: The Video Game.

Damn, the reviews were right. Not even LOST fans can find it fun.

 

[mParadox]

Power Rangers for the Sega Genesis. I could never get past it. I was 12 I think.

 

[Krantos]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Haha, good one... Now seriously take that the fuck back right the fuck now.

Sorry, I have to agree with archvile. Maybe it was good on PC, but the 360 version just controlled so horribly that it was a total let down. I liked everything, except for the actual gameplay and the fact that the horror element lasted only until you fight your first enemy.

Other than that, both fable games and Kingdom Under Fire.

 

[Sebenko]

I could probably list most of the thirty billion RTSes that I've bought and only played once. But the ultimate in regretted purchases has to be SunAge. Dear god, that was abysmal.

And Oblivion. Funny how my favourite RPG ever could be followed up by the worst RPG I've ever played.

 

[archvile93]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Haha, good one... Now seriously take that the fuck back right the fuck now.

Nope, Unlike most people I was able to see through the interesting setting and realize how shit the GAME part of the GAME was.

 

[wooty]

Gears of War 2, I bought it, spent 6 hours on it (5 campaign, 1 MP) then took it back to Gamestation the very same day and got my money back.

 

[Fanatical]

Tom Clancy's Endwar. Why oh why did I buy it, ill never know. Ugh.

Hey I was about to say that. Glad I was not the only one.

"I want to command my troops with the head-set."
"Very well sir. Would you mind screaming your orders so everyone in the house can hear you? Oh I'm sorry that was not the right tone, try in a louder more obnoxious pitch."

Why did I do that? Why did I buy you?

 

[Cryptotom]

Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising.

I stoppped playing on the second level because it was so bad and unbalanced.

 

[Deofuta]

The Latest AvP. Thought it was awesome in the multiplayer demo, then I bought it and realized that was pretty much it.

 

[archvile93]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Haha, good one... Now seriously take that the fuck back right the fuck now.

The controls were better on PC, but that didn't make it less broken in every other way.

 

[OtakuNinja]

Alpha Protocol,
it had so much potental
and
Operation Flashpoint-DR & Arma 2
the worst voiceover's of this generation, it was cringe worthy

 

[GonzoGamer]

Mine was Just Cause. The damn game was terrible in every way.

Wait? the first one or the sequel?
I didn't like the first but the sequel was trippy and huge.

My answer: No More Heroes.

It's the last one I regret buying.
It got me to start renting again.

 

[mParadox]

^Just Cause. not the sequel but the first game.

The controls were better on PC, but that didn't make it less broken in every other way.

Course they were, but the v1.1 patch made it so much worthwhile.
I personally think developers leave things out so that they can get more money to make a patch thousands will simultaneously download.
