Games you regret buying

[Space Spoons]

Bayonetta. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic game, but I bought it a couple of days after release, at full price, and beat it a week or so after. Haven't touched it since. It really wasn't worth buying at full price, knowing as I did that I was probably only going to play it once.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

Probably Children of Mana for the Nintendo DS.

I'd heard good things.

Which all turned out to be LIES.

 

[Jimmybobjr]

Final Fantasy XIII
The Hitman Complete pack (Off Steam)
Kings Bounty (Steam)
Titan Quest (Steam)
The Witcher
Endwar
Overlord and Overlord II (Steam again)

Thats it, really.

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.

Nope. I loved it. Awesome storytelling and game mechanics. The characters were a bit lacking, but overall it was a good game.

OT: Spore. I only enjoyed the cell stage... and a bit of the tribal.

I liked Spore but that was because of it's openness and it's a game I can minimize when I'm supposed to be working (plus I have the Galactic Adventures expansion so beaming down adds more to it [thank god...])

also why do you keep saying "OT:" before everything?

and to restate it
everyone is entitled to their opinions, so stop yelling at everyone that theirs is wrong because it just shows how insecure you are with your games and you don't want to admit you paid $60 for yet another Halo game, and you're not having as much fun with it as you should

"OT" stands for On Topic. My sentence/paragraph thing before it wasn't part of the discussion at hand, more of a comment to the person I had quoted. After I'd finished that, I just put "OT;' to signify I'm going to talk about the subject on hand.

Prey, totally not worth 50 crowns, it was cheap kinda fun but I yust didin't like it.

 

[Folio]

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.

Ok, I agree on the point that Bioshock is one of those: 'You can go faster later in the game! So we make your character retardedly slow!' And: 'You need a power for this now! What? Later? Nah, we don't do that. GET POWER NOW!' games.

But come on! $5,- for a game that had reasonable graphics and a well plotted storyline! You hardly have the right to complain because you spent 5 bucks!

For me I wasted money on Warhammer 40.000 Strike Command. ?20,- for only 15 levels (ball bustingly hard levels) and the facade of being Real Time. It's not |-( the back of the game dissapointed me.

There is no music, only some flash animations (with tweeeeeens! |-( ) and the soldiers cry 'waarlgh, for thee emporowr' when they die. There is a 'Finish turn' option, but to do that, you need to pause the game. Why don't you have a shortcut for that?!

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising

 

[Kwatsu]

Brutal Legend, after playing the demo. I was one of the it's-a-hack-and-slasher!-no-wait-it's-an-RTS folks.

 

[Spongebobdickpants]

APB. a winner is me.

 

[Headbiter]

No order kept up:

Enter the Matrix: Not one redeeming thing to say about a crappy game with a flimsical story, besides that with this it fit perfectly to the last two Matrix-movies. Furthermore the graphics were crap (seriously,square-edged wheels in a 2003-game for the PC? Wow.)and it was more expansive than other games at the time.

Legendary: Claimed to be a fantasy-shooter, since you fought werewolves, gryphons and kraken. Was as convincing as me claiming to be a woman should I wear high-heels. Or in other words: Boring weapons, boring enemies in unoriginal fantasy creature-skins.

Deus Ex: Invisible War: If you want to create a sequel to an intelligent game with an intelligent story your team shouldn't consist of morons. I wonder if Warren Spector cried when he saw what his franchised got turned into.

Gothic 3: It's like they *intended* to turn a good franchise to crap.

Kane & Lynch: Antihero and Asshole are not the same thing, despite beginning with the same letter. Same goes for superb and stupid ending.

If I had to pick one of those as the WORST, it would be Enter the Matrix.

 

[TehIrishSoap]

Oblivion, Far Cry 2, Guitar Hero Greatest Hits, Skate 1 And 2, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.... 125 Euro Down The Drain.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Resistance. Absolutely terrible.

And people shouldn't hate on FFXIII so much! For some reason dissing final fantasy games has become 'hip' or something, it was a good game!
I admit it was a slow and very corny start, and the battle system was quite complicated so it took a long time for the tutorial chunk of the game to end, but overall it was a good game! It was no FFVII, but it was still above average! DX

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

Also Operation Flashpoing - Dragon Rising. Damn game does no justice to the Virtual Mil-Sim genera. ARMA II all the way.

Other games include:
- Modern Warfare 2
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Modern Warfare 2
- Borderlands
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Borderlands
- Grand Theft Auto IV
- Assassin's Creed 2
- Borderlands

I may have mentioned some of them more than once. It's because I really, really regret buying them.

MW2: $60
BLs: $50
AC2: $45 (thank god local store %*$@ed up on the price)
GTA4: $50

All total, a waste of $205. That burns my heart more than anything. It literally hurts. Oh, $15+ for Operation Flashpoint 2. IT BUUURNNNNSS!

 

[MasterCheifn]

MW2

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Stranglehold. Fuck that game to oblivion.

 

[Woodsey]

HL2 was 3-years-old by that point and packed in with 3 brand new games and Episode 1; not really seeing how it was the main event.

3 years on I was still hammering Halo 2 with mates at college, every day in the guild room, 4-5 hours a day. Half Life 2 was reputed by Valve's fans to be leagues ahead in terms of physics, gameplay, story, the works; and I wasn't skeptical, I was excited because PC Gamer and 70% of the internet seemed to agree.

Turns out they were all mistaken. Physics were novel but not as entertaining as I'd anticipated, vehicles like the amphibious bike thing seemed to lose said physics altogether, treating shallow water and pavement just the same! Pretty pathetic. The weapons weren't exciting save for the gravity gun (so, gameplay was a snooze), the plot is convoluted in a pretentious way- like the 'Lost' TV series, which I despised... It just didn't float my boat- even compared to its contemporaries, it was in my opinion way below par.

Err... The amphibious bike thing was a hovercraft. Maybe you should look those up.

And you're missing the point with Halo 2 (other than that it has a multiplayer component, which is what you were playing years later): if Halo 2 came out in a package with 3 other new games, 2 of which were a continuation of it's new story, then Halo 2 would not be the main event.

You lose points for the Lost reference since it's freaking amazing, and HL2's plot isn't particularly complicated. In fact, the main plot is fairly straight forward (albeit very well told); if you want background information then things are left to your own interpretation, just like they would be if you were actually Gordon.

 

[Nimmermehr]

Two Worlds - never been so bored while playing an RPG.

Gothic 3 - I tried to like this game. Really. I've played it with every patch and community enhancement I could find, I kept telling myself that it would get better later(maybe after I freed the next town...?) but it's just bad, especially compared to 1 and 2.

Overlord 2 was pretty disappointing too, but I didn't pay much for it so I don't really regret buying it.
