Games you regret buying

[MrShowerHead]

Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising.

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

Ah, thank you. Thanks to you I don't have to say that name.

 

[Starke]

95% of my steam library. For 2 reasons, 1) Some are super cheep so you think why not. 2) nostalgia. Yes i loved the first GTA, i should buy it *3 mins passes* dam this game is lame.

I ended up with a whole string of arcade turret games in STEAM that way. RIP, I think. I need to not get drunk while Steam is having sales.

Star Wars Dark Forces, it wasn't that bad, but I still prefer Doom.

But... but... Dark Forces.

When did you get and play it?

Sacred 2. Normally I'm very lenient and forgiving, but G*d almighty what a rank piece of S*\t that was.

I could list it's faults and hand you a rundown of it's terrible game play, but I fear I would be here forever.

They somehow extracted the worst elements of the original, and kept those, while ejecting the good bits. I really wanted to love this game...

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.

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-

Now they tell me.

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.

I actually really enjoyed FC2, but that one needed another six months on the burner.

I regret buying Pariah.

I literally forgot I have a copy of that. Then again, I only spent something like $10 on it.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Dead Rising. I just got bored even while doing the story.

 

[Shadowfaze]

Lost Planet, Lord of the rings conquest, and FFXIII....

 

[Brandon237]

Tropico 3 and CnC 4, AAARGGGHHH! Those were a wastes, I would have SC2 now ere it not for the money wasted on those two...

 

[Restoshamankk]

All points bulletin

 

[new_age_reject]

FFX. Seriously, I stopped playing about an hour in before I died of boredom. I have never cared less about a bunch of characters more than that horrid lot.

 

[savageoblivi0n]

*snip*

*snip*

Lost: The Video Game .

...Even if that was unintentionally, you are an awful person for that.

*and-a snip*

gahh yah i saw it too as soon as i read that and lost again me damn self >.<

OT: honestly there aren't many simply because i keep a constant cycle of titles in a trade-in queue(sp?) so i never really spend money on them...for instance i got reach for about 10$ after trading in a few games i got for around $10 after trading in......meh...you get the point

 

[Emo-Hawk]

Clearly I have a different taste in games to a lot of you escapists readers with some of the games I'd rate as some of my favorite games are in your lists but hey different tastes I suppose, but getting on the right side of the fence, as much as I played MW2 I really don't see the point in it, I only bought the game to keep the peace in my circle of friends cause apparently Halo 3 wasn't good enough for our mulitplayer needs any more.

But two main games I think took the biscuit on this one was either Devil May Cry 2 and Ninja Gaiden 2:

Being a huge fan of the 3rd Devil May Cry (the one I started on) and the first (the next one I played) 2 left me with a bitter taste in my mouth...The story didn't make any sense what soooo ever and game play seemed even less than Devil May Cry 1 and the second disc was just a pure grind to the finish just to say yeah I finished it =/

now the next one on my list is Ninja Gaiden 2. Now call me a noob or what ever the hell you want but that game just I dunno, bored me beyond belief maybe it was the serious ass kicking i kept getting from random enemies every five minuets, but over all the boss battles were too over powered... Now I'm a huge fan of a challenge in video games I mean I nearly finished all of Gears of War 1 by myself on the hardest setting until Raam came along and boned me from 1:30am until like 2:30am that I decided to go to bed as college was an early start that day, but never the less nothing compared to how stupid N.G.2 bosses were... In my eyes I was lucky enough to get it on sale second hand at Game station in one of their 2 for £25 deals they always have on, but even THAT felt like i was being conned!

but yeah, look forward to your rants >_<

 

[bfgmetalhead]

modern warfare 2= possibly most overhyped game ever also not fun unless your a masicist

 

[veloper]

Well I hardly touched the 2 Morrowind expansions and the MOHAA spearhead and breakthrough, but I got them so cheap, I don't care.
I know I get bored with most type of games once I figured them out.

 

[BloodSquirrel]

The Burger King games. They can get old and boring really fast.

On the bright side they were pretty cheap.

Sneak King was surprisingly good for a game that was designed by Burger King to sell Whoopers.

I actually haven't had much in the way of regreted purchases this generation. I think I've at least finished evey game that I've bought save Red Faction: Guerrilla, and I only payed $5 for that.

 

[ThePirateMan]

Bioshock (Meh, just meh. Gameplay was boring and clunky and I found nothing in the atmosphere/story.)
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.)
GTA 4 (Found it to be bland and boring, the helicopter sequences got me frustrated and I found none of the characters likable.)
Mass Effect (I can clearly see why people like this one, but I personaly just don't like the combat and have an overall disliking for sci-fi beyond Starwars.)

 

[8bitmaster]

Lost: The Video Game.

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

but... you lost the game.


ot: world in conflict. I don't think it was a bad game, its just I got it about 2-3 years ago and haven't played it once.

 

[Mr. Omega]

Shadow the Hedgehog. The only game I ever bought that I regret. There are plenty of games I regret playing, but other people usually bought them, and I just went to play the game at their place.

 

[oktalist]

18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul

I don't know what came over me.

 

[JoJo]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

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.

 

[The Hero Killer]

BlazBlue Continuum Shift, the worst game for someone who has never played 2D fighting games before. Rectified the situation with Super Street Fighter IV.

God of War 3, it just paled in comparison to the first 2 games.

And my number 1 regret... Aion: Tower of Eternity, I bought it day one just to find out that my college decided to block MMO's from connecting to the internet.

 

[EHKOS]

The Burger King games. They can get old and boring really fast.

On the bright side they were pretty cheap.

Just wait, those should be super rare someday.

OT: Darksiders. Damn it why didn't I listen!
