APB.. 2 months to shutdown x.x
MW2 multilayer was complete s**t (seriously i just want a deathmatch that lasts HOURS not minutes)

I regret buying Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games. It wasn't very good.

 

[Infernai]

Dungeon Lords.....

 

[Sonic Doctor]

This was quite awhile ago, back before this generation of consoles. This time I guess I would call The Lord of the Rings years. My latest gaming devices were my gameboy advanced and my gamecube. I was big into Lord of the Rings games, video and board games(if your remember board games of it, Monopoly, Risk, Trivial Pursuit, etc. I bet they would have made a form of battleship if they had found a way to do it.) Back to my point, I had the two hack and slashers that were The Two Towers and The Return of the King for the gamecube, and the gameboy advanced version of The Two Towers, which was and Rpg-esk hack an slasher. Well I liked those games especially the advanced one, but then I went and bought the gameboy advaced game of Fellowship of the Ring.

I wish I hadn't lost the receipt, because that game was so glitchy that things that I was told by the game to go get, weren't there. Characters would just randomly disappear and reappear on the screen. And there was one mission, really early on in the game that I had to beat or I couldn't continue with the game, that every time I went into the area I need to go for it, the game would just restart and go back to the start screen. I would say that is the worst money have spent in games, that and F-Zero GX for the gamecube. I couldn't even get past the training simulator time trial on that. You can't continue onto the next part of the game until you beat the training on easy and hard. I couldn't beat hard because you pretty much have to have the reflexes of a ninja or God, maybe even a Ninja God.

I regretted buying Lost Planet and Fracture. Both were utterly mediocre third-person shooters.

 

[Bluesclues]

I know I'll probably get a lot of flak for this, but my choice would be Oblivion. Not because it's a bad game, but because I decided to try it AFTER playing Fallout 3, and realized what a downgrade it was. I'm sure if I had played Oblivion first I would've enjoyed it fine. I was just too used to Fallout 3 by then.

 

[Dfskelleton]

Doom 3 for PC. Not because it was bad, but because my system requirements don't meet it.
Also, Clive Barker's Clive Barker's Jericho (By Clive Barker)

 

[daubie]

The first that come to mind are Soul Calibur IV, GTA 4, and Jak 2/3. The Jak sequels lacked so much of the charm that the first game had. The first game was funny, and bright, and refreshing. It revitalized the adventure/platformer for me, but the sequels were dull and gritty. It was a cheep attempt to try and attempt to siphon some of the popularity of the GTA games of the time, and it ruined what could have been a great series.

 

[Plurralbles]

Battalion Wars
lol, I almost put a movie title on here... oops
Eh, just about that. Screw that game.

Oh, and FInal Fantasy X-2

 

[Nouw]

Dawn Of War II. I enjoy RTSs, just not this one. I couldn't even sell it as I activated it on Steam. Oh well, I could lend it to a friend...

 

[ReziSt]

Full Spectrum Warrior
MW2
Empire Earth II

That's just from a quick glance at my shelf. There's bound to be way more if I think hard enough.

 

[Neurowaste]

Metro 2033. I just found it boring all round.

I liked metro....but that's just cause i'm a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. fanboy.

OT: Probably Chromehounds, fuck you and your all grenade launcher/sabre hovercraft, lightweight , charging bitches! And you heavy gunners too, oh the rage. Also, Far Cry 2, two words: Jeep Patrols. And to an extent, The Outfit, bought it much too late and there was no online community :/

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

Guitar Hero World Tour. I didn't think it was possible to mess up as simple a concept like strumming to plastic guitar, so naturally Activision had to put together the most lackluster set list possible. (Or so I thought, everyone says GH5 is even worse) I recently sold it on Amazon...for about $10. *sigh*

That put me off the whole 'plastic instrument' thing for a while, until I played Rock Band 2. Harmonix, thank you. Just thank you.

Oh right, I almost forgot about the WiiWare version of Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. However, I only got it because it was the only game in the series I didn't already own. But that still doesn't make it any less painful that it's such a lazy, half-assed port. Seriously Capcom, you couldn't have even added pointer functionality?

i thought guitar hero world tour had some good songs like livin on a prayer and hotel california btw only songs i ever played lol

I liked some songs, such as Livin' on a Prayer, Eye of the Tiger, One Way or Another, the Joker...thing is, all of these songs are in Rock Band 2, either on the disk or as DLC. And even most of the songs I bought for World Tour are on Rock Band network. I'm missing one or two of my favorites now (Prisoner of Society...*sniff*) but I thank it's a good trade-off considering RB2 has a vastly superior setlist.

 

[Neurowaste]

Clive Barker's Jerico, and cubot raging robots(i thought it was something else)

Sorry, i just love clancy, couldn't let that stand.

 

[onewheeled]

I'd say Modern Warfare 2, mainly because after about 6 months of playing and enjoying it mainly for the Spec Ops and Campaign, I was planning on selling it to my friend for $40. And of course, the day before I bring it to him, the game mysteriously disappears when I go on vacation. That was months ago, I still haven't found it.

Along with that, Lost Planet and, flameshield ready, Garry's Mod. I'm just not a creative person, I can't get in that game and work on a contraption for hours at a time. I actually prefer linearity and instructions to having absolutely no limitations or guidelines, I just don't enjoy it.

 

[Sonic Doctor]

Street Fighter IV. I got it for like 20 dollars right before Super Street Fighter IV came out. I didn't know about Super Street Fighter IV, though. And I suck at the game. I got sick of being absolutely demolished by that obscenely fat nerdy dude, and didn't play anymore after a couple weeks.

The same thing happened to one of my friends. He said, "Nobody told me there was going to be a Super Street Fighter IV."

I got him really pissed at me too. The highest difficulty he can play it on is medium and even then it can be too hard for him, but after a did a few play throughs on the Easiest to Medium, I decided to crank the difficulty up to the highest, I can't remember what it is called, Ultra Extreme Hard or some such crazy level. My play through on that was actually faster and felt easier than Medium.

I recommend playing against the Mexican guy (can't remember his name) on the highest difficulty setting. It is hilarious to watch. It is like you are fighting Speedy Gonzales, he is just that fast and funny sounding.

 

[Sargey]

Star Wars: Force Unleashed.

Looked good before I got it, then I ended up finishing the game only because I wanted to feel alright about taking it back. (I can't really bring myself to not finish a game I buy).

 

[Quazimofo]

if we are expanding into regretting selling.

Not one I regret buying, but I most definitely regret selling Prince of Persia Sands of Time. Why why why!?

if we are expanding into regretting selling i'd have to say mass effect.
Why was i so naieve to believe mass effect 2 would be enough when it came out? WHYYYYYYYYY?!?!!?

oh and fyi i sold mass effect one a bit before i heard of the second one but a long time before it came out, not just before i bought the second one and they had already said save games matter

 

[ProfessorLayton]

The Conduit was one... I bought it brand new thinking it would bring me back to the Wii. Then I got to the part where I had to turn around but I couldn't do it fast enough and it would be too sensitive or not sensitive enough... it was a disaster.

Prey was a waste of money as well. After the 15th puzzle in a row where I had to go into spirit walk and find a way to get me across a gap I just gave up on it. The intro sequence was excellent, though.

 

[blithefox]

Final Fantasy X-2.
Uuuuuuughhhhhh.
