Games you regret buying

[thenumberthirteen]

Star Trek: Online. God damn it. I paid £40 for that pile of crap. Good thing I got bored early and didn't pay the subscription charge.

I'll stick to Bridge Commander thank you very much. A far better game that actually feels like flying a ship.

Darkwatch.. wait no, that sex scene was totally worth NOT IT WASNT.
Dead Space. Bayonetta. Resistance 2.

 

[Lionsfan]

The Saboteur.

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.

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!!!!

I'm just kidding, I understand why you wouldn't like it. [sub][sub][sub][sub]it's because your a nazi commie zombie loser isn't it?[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

OT: I've got a whole laundry list of these things, from Eragon to The Saboteur. Nestled in between is Call of Duty 3, Burnout: Paradise, Two Worlds (WHY GOD WHY!!!) and a whole bunch of other garbage

 

[Famine0]

Dead Rising (the first one)
That game made me rage all the time

 

[thiosk]

Elemental war of magic was a huge letdown, but I'll buy stardock titles just to keep them in new shoes

 

[Quid Plura]

Eat Lead: The return of Matt Hazard (although I payed 1 Euro for it, but I could also have bought a Vietnamese eggroll with it, which tastes better)

 

[Canid117]

The first Dynasty warriors Gundam. That was a bad idea.

 

[WorldCritic]

Star Wars Dark Forces, it wasn't that bad, but I still prefer Doom.
Also NiGHTS into Dreams, mostly because I never played it.

 

[Kere]

Crimson Tears...Kind of pretty to look at but just plain awful in the end.

 

[interspark]

dunno about games, but it was a greivous error when i purchased the Pokemon HG/SS strategy guide, the writers didn't know SQUAT about the game and had clearly got their information by grabbing people off the streets and asking them! not only does it only cover the johto half of the game, almost all the information is wrong somehow, according to this, to get pokemon such as suicune and the gen 1 starters, i'd have to trade them in from Diamond Pearl or Platinum. also, you know how good guides have very detailed info on the pokemon in the first half of the game and less detailed info on the ones you get after the elite 4? well this one has sketchy detail on the first group and not a word on any others, rant over.

theres 8 pounds i could have given to a homeless person, or bought my cats some treats with, or got my sister a cheap birthday present, or bought some luch at subway, or...... (etc)

Supreme Commander 2. A total betrayal of those who were avid TA and SC1/FA fans. Pandering to the morons who can't handle proper economics. Even the maps got more dumbed down (less vast maps, more corridor-based maps like in classic RTS). And I blame Steve Bauman for writing scripts like a 10 year old.

Bioshock 2 was "meh" (Bioshock 1 was pretty good).

Alien vs Predator (the new reset) was also "meh."

.. there are probably more, but none in my mind atm.

 

[IckleMissMayhem]

Fable 2, Oblivion and [activates fanboy shield] FFVII. Hated all of them, finished two of them (not Oblivion.) At least FFVII didn't give up at the end and have a ridiculous final boss though. Safe to say I shan't be purchasing Fable 3.

 

[Leftnt Sharpe]

Elemental war of magic was a huge letdown, but I'll buy stardock titles just to keep them in new shoes

Pretty much this. I'm hoping that the game will get better the more they update it, but it really shouldn't have been that messed up at launch.

 

[Orcboyphil]

Manhunter, got in a pack from steam, but it still makes me feel dirty that I own that pile of crap murder porn simulator. Also agree on DW: Gundam, that game was so so bad. Hove to disagree with two worlds though, its terrible from pretty much ever perspective but for some unknown reason I find it really really fun. Like a Big Mac.

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

Red Faction: Guerilla. I loved to destroy things. Then I played multiplayer. Kept getting hit with sledgehammers. Sad face.

 

[DonMartin]

Assassin's Creed.

Just didnt like it.

Borrowed the sequel.

HOLY CRAP THAT ONE WAS GOOD.

 

[Kenko]

Mafia 2 : It was okay but it didnt do anything new, the first one was way superior.
Star Trek Online: For obvious resons.
Lost Planet 2: Also okay, but mindnumbingly stupid.
The newest Aliens Vs Predator: For being one of the shittier games in that series.

Plenty of other games ive regretted buying, but these are the more recent, more or less.

 

[Akihiko]

Halo 3 Legendary Edition. Enjoyed 1 and 2, and so naturally I thought 3 was going to be just as awesome. How wrong I was... Not a bad game by all means, just wasn't for me. Definitely not worth £70.

 

[ShadowTale]

Dragon Age Orgins. I bought it preorder. figured i'd atleast get some good mass effect 2 armor, but as it turns out the stupid armor wasn't even remotely worth it, it was WORSE than having generic ingame armor. Huge disapointment and I will not be preordering any Bioware games anymore.

but as for DA:O. I am the most unlucky person in the world. I played the game 3 times in a row, not because I wanted to but because the game would glitch and I'd have to go back to a previous really really old save. I still haven't beaten the game because I've hit so many glitches that make it unable to continue in the story, screw that game.
