Games you regret buying

[SamW89]

Wet was OK, a very mediocre and short lived game, but I wish I'd picked it up a month later when it was half the price - didn't even get a good trade in value on it.

Modern Warfare 2 disappointed me. Beat vet in a day then discovered that the online mode couldn't keep me and my friends together for even five minutes.

Red Alert 3. Didn't like the change in graphical style, and why I decided to play it on 360 and not PC I'll never know

Radiata Stories. The game doesn't have a single good thing about it. Lame story, lame combat, lame characters, and terrible environments.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap - it wasn't very long or deep, and the very "kiddy" feel it had really bugged me.
Metroid Prime: Hunters - The DS is already notorious for giving me cramped hands. Combine that with fast shooting action, and I have a disaster waiting to happen.
Turok (the recent one) - It didn't live up to my expectations for a more N64-ish throwback

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

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

YeH, what he said,

Strange you had the problems you have stated with that game, a shame really. I didn't have such problems except for on occasion running low on ammo, but that in itself made it tough and you have to think a little harder, it happens in many games, and plasmids were certainly a very powerfull weapon when used in combo with "normal" weapons.

I think sadly, that the problem is that you are simply shit at playing that game. And that you are blaming the game mechanics for you apparent lack of Bioshock playing ability. Never mind though. You can slag the next one off after you've played that one through poorly as well.

Edit. Ummm that sounded a little harsh, I take some of it back.

I got a PS2 game, "The Bard's Tale" for around $4 at a bargain bin. Was curious, and took a chance.
Though I didn't lose much money, I still think "damn... I could have had lunch/etc instead"

 

[evilartist]

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

That's weird. I played it only once long ago when I was at a cousin's house. I beat the whole game, no problem. I still don't know how the hell I did that.

I think you are looking for the game legend threads, sir, or you bought a bad game and was TOLD it was BioShock.

 

[Eliam_Dar]

It has to be Prince of Persia for PS3...really awful game

 

[josephmatthew10]

Don't worry, the man is terribly sick. He's receiving treatment as we speak, and should wake up with his taste in games better than ever.

 

[natster43]

Mario Kart Wii. While it was fun online, it was not nearly worth the full price tag. It also had no Multiplayer Grand Pirx.

 

[SelectivelyEvil13]

Haze. Thankfully it was extraordinarily cheap on Amazon to the point where renting it for two weeks would be more, but still...

The voice acting makes me want to pour cyanide down someone's throat. It actually offends one's intellect. It's a shame, too, because the early videos made it look so bloody cool. [Sad panda]

 

[josephmatthew10]

My god... Doctor! Get this man t the Game ER STAT!

 

[judas prick]

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.

Im with you on that one ODST was just terrible

 

[Underground Man]

Aion. I had tried the beta and sort of liked it, but the whole flying thing turned out to be a poorly-executed gimmick. I didn't even play until the month subscription that came "free" with purchase ran out. Also, the pre-order items were useless.

 

[Bullfrog1983]

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age.

I really hated this game because I thought it was going to be an RPG with a new story... but instead they just inserted the plot of the books and basically shoved in a bunch of characters who weren't involved at all in the books or movies. My two least favourite parts are when you run in to help Gandalf kill the Balrog and at the end of the game where you actually fight the Eye of Sauron.

I only finished this game because I'd paid for it and put so much time into the game... and after winning you could beat the crap out of your own characters playing as the bad team so it felt theraputic afterwards.

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

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

Not everyone can appreciate the artistic value and atmosphere of some games, everyone is flawed in some way... thats why we are all special.

Not everyone can appreciate someone elses opinion, everyone is flawed in some way...that's why we are all special.

LOL! You sound like a smart guy/lady... whichever. You sir/madame are very correct.

PSP. just....ugh. It's not that there weren't any games that interested me(but there weren't), it's not that it was a tad over-priced (but it was), it's not that the graphics were far from the PS2 levels I was promised (but they weren't), it's not even that I only bought it because literally ALL of my friends had bought one to play some shitty "monster hunter game" (and it reeeeaaaally was). No, it was the fucking button layout. It was impossible to play any game on that piece of shit without having my hands cramp up.

Glad I was able to sell it for a decent price.

Starcraft 2.
Singleplayer-wise, it invigorated the genre a bit with it's RPG elements. The cinematics and voice acting were well done. Regarding the overall gameplay, it wasn't a significant upgrade to Warcraft 3 though.
As for the multiplayer, it's yet to strike me as anything special. "Rush first" and "Don't play as the Zerg" are hardly exciting tactics, and Battle.net 2.0 is a largely cosmetic upgrade. There appears little depth, so far.

It would be nice to trade/sell it, but given that you have to register it to a Battle.net account that appears impossible.

Suffice to say, I'm glad that Civ V is out on Friday.
