Games you regret buying

[Caprice0083]

Need for Speed: Pro Street, should have made more games like Most Wanted

 

[CarlsonAndPeeters]

Mercenaries 2.

I absolutely loved Mercs 1 and the gameplay footage made it look like the sequel would be more of the same. It was not.

It was terrible.

C&C 4 Tiberium Twilight total waste of 50 bucks that could have gone to so many other things. I mean it was absolute bollocks they threw out everything that made C&C what it is and put in some new piece of crap walking base that craps out units.

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.

Yeah, that's pretty much Bioshock. Good story, excellent setting, awful gameplay, should have made a film. That said, it cost me something like £3 and it was worth that.

As for mine, APB. Uh, for obvious reasons. I preordered it, played the beta, kept crashing and never actually started it after release. I have learned not to preorder things. I'll wait and see how Brink pans out.

Amazingly, there are plans to make a film based on Bioshock:

Whether it will be good or not is enough matter though...

Bought KOTOR on XBox a year ago or so, and realized after about 10 minutes I didn't care for it, and I couldn't do anything with it (like resell it) since it's an XBox game. Also wish I hadn't bought FarCry; I got all excited to play it, and then I couldn't even install it on my damn computer.

Also wish I hadn't gotten Left 4 Dead, even though I got it free when I bought my 360 (you could pick any two games). Despite enjoying the game, I quickly realized that A) I almost never play games with friends, and B) I don't bother with XBox Live. Poor planning on my part.

Star Craft 2: Got boring really quickly.

 

[Jonny49]

Red Dead Redemption. Call me stupid but I would much rather had not traded in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to get it.

A decision I regret fully.

 

[hawkeye52]

operation flashpoint dragon rising. the only thing good about it was that the knife animations looked so retarded that they became funny

 

[LadyMint]

Phantasy Star Universe, and Spore for the Nintendo DS. I should've known after I tried the PC version that the DS one would be equally crappy.

 

[MetalDooley]

FarCry 2.That game was just annoying and frustrating in equal measure

 

[ShadowTale]

I played Sacred Gold (Sacred 1) for PC and it was AWESOME. way better than diablo 2 imo. but man Sacred 2 was crap. -Stay away from Sacred 2-

 

[davros3000]

A friend of mine spent good money on ODST and I played it through with him for a laugh. It was a terrible game. I still laughed as the joke was on him for paying good money for such rubbish. Wont even look at reach as a result.

 

[Greenshoes]

Some formula 1 game I bought for the n64.

 

[Casimir_Effect]

Giants Citizen Kabuto is the last game I really regret buying, because I bought into the hype. Otherwise I got the controller bundle with Nuts & Bolts and Trouble In Paradise for clearance pricing - it sucked but I was able to trade them in towards BioShock.

Mind if I ask what you didn't like about it, and also when you bought it? That is, recently or back in 2000 when it came out? It's not the best game in the worl by any means: the base-building Mech levels are damn hard without cheating, some of Delphi's levels are confusing or annoying (damn jet-ski racing), and Kabuto was often too hard to play as. But the game was funny and had a lot of good levels I thought. In the day the graphics were also better than almost anything else (bar Sacrifice) and the sound was great too. Don't remember much hype about it, although maybe you mean forum hype, as it's usually well-remembered.

OT: I buy games when cheap so I don't really regret many. I picked up Chrome on Steam for 70p and couldn't play it due to suckage (I have Chrome: Specforce waiting for me too). I guess Republic Commando is one I regret, as I just didn't like the gameplay (apart from the squad mechanics, which were great). I also bought FarCry back in 2005 and regretted it as soon as those fucking mutants appeared. Way to kill a fun game, asshats.

 

[Cekil1]

Phantasy Star Universe. That game can go to Hell.

Edit 1:

Phantasy Star Universe, and Spore for the Nintendo DS. I should've known after I tried the PC version that the DS one would be equally crappy.

I feel your pain.

 

[Queen Michael]

X-Men: The Next Dimension. Bad music, bad game mechanics, cost me way too much. If I could take back just one purchase in my life, I'd make it that one.

 

[mortalsatsuma]

I think I speak for everyone when I say FUCKING ODST GOD DAMMIT.

Also Modern Warfare 2... I played it a lot, but I feel like I never really had that much fun.

Dammit! beat me to it, was going to say ODST. That game was such a humungous letdown.

 

[Cozzzy]

Dragon Age: Origins. This game has nothing going for it at all except for interaction with other characters.

 

[mortalsatsuma]

FarCry 2.That game was just annoying and frustrating in equal measure

I just could not get into that game. The AI just killed it, they would chase you relentlessly and spot you from ten miles away. Plus they took about a million bullets to kill. In fact, the whole game was a massive dissapointment.

 

[Gerrawn]

Aion. Seriously, I regret that so much. D:
