Games you regret to have bought ?

[Blondi3]

Dead Space
MW2
BFBC2
The PoP series
Stalker: Clear Sky (Loved SoC but this one is just too bleh)
X3 (Reunion and Terran Conflict) but that's entirely my fault. I love the idea and the game, I just don't have the time and memory in my head to fully enjoy it/immerse myself.

Brink (Not bad, but it has some major design flaws)

like what? im considering buying this game, but am hesitant because of the game i mentioned above.

It's a really fun game. I love it, but my god it's riddled with bugs and bug type issues. I have it for PC but I hear similar problems exist on the Xbox version. If you want it, I'd recommend waiting a bit until the fixs are put through and if there are still people left that haven't stormed off to the next "omg new game" then get it. I'll still probably be playing Brink unless BF3 turns out to be amazing.

Two Worlds. I don't care if it was only $9.99. It was $9.99 too expensive.

Call of Duty: Black ops. The game was only fun whenever people came over and we played it splitscreen or whenever me and my friends played it over live. But the worst part was, three months after I bought it, some how the case(as in, where you put the disc to make sure it gets protected) broke the disc. I'm honestly not making that up.

thanks man, i'll wait until the price drops a bit, and only then if my friends decide to get it.

I returned MvC3 the day after I bought it. Got very bored, very quickly.

I also recall, a few years back, buying the Sonic Ultimate Collection on PS2 in hope of a fun-filled nostalgia trip. I completed the game in a matter of hours, unfulfilled, and returned it.

I also bought Bl'Ops on Steam. Mega waste....

The ultimate collection is both not on the PS2 and it's not possible to complete that collection in a matter of hours, besides the sheer number of games on the collection (the Ultimate/or Genesis Collection) Phantasy Star IV takes probably 2 days to beat alone, and Phantasy Star 2 is far longer. I'm confused are you talking about, Sonic Mega Collection?

OT-
Metroid other M- One of the worst games I've ever played

Sonics Ultimate Genesis Collection- Sound issues that bugged me on some games (some big ones) and then the controller delay which just isn't good for Sonic games, also having the carts didn't bode well for the game sticking around.

Killzone 2- I have no idea what people saw in the game, it was just bad. Just bloody awful.

 

[bawkbawkboo1]

Red Faction: Guerrilla. It's missions were repetitive even by sandbox game standards and blowing random stuff up got old after a while. I just didn't like it.

 

[jedizero]

I regret getting Starcraft 2.

I never intended to play the multiplayer that 'HARDCOAR', I wanted a fun little RTS that I could have fun on.

I got on with a few of my friends and played, and got curb stomped. I asked for tips, just friendly tips on how to get better.

I was told immediately that if I wanted to get good at the game online, I'd have to go and begin doing research on how to play the fucking game. I buy games to have fun, not to have a fucking lesson.

Nobody would sit down and let me discuss strategies. It was 'Go look them up or shut the fuck up and go away', and I couldn't even experiment or try to get my own strategies. I didn't have time to! By god if I hadn't already set up a zillion defenses and gotten an army that would make the stormtrooper platoons blush, I was crushed.

 

[Mute52]

Infinite Undiscovey.

It was a while back, but god it was awful.

 

[yamitami]

Xenosaga until I started annoying the main character completely in favor of the other party members, who are much more likable.

Dragon Age: Origins
Fallout 3
DBZ Burst Limit
CoD: Black Ops
Halo Wars

DA:O and Fallout both suffer from the same kinds of issues I think. They're slow, clunky, and just not much fun if you aren't into exploration.

Burst Limit and Black Ops are just horrible games in general.

Halo Wars had potential to be fun, but the central hub base design idea is just bad, and it had a lot of balance issues. *cough* Warthog rush *cough*

Whaaa? Dragon Age wasn't really an "exploration" game. The story and RPG elements were the highlights. Fallout 3 maybe, but I wouldn't call it "clunky", assuming you knew how to use VATS.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon, some PS1 games I no longer remember and Soldier of Fortune 2: Double Helix on original xbox. All were bought by my dad, though.

Bad game I got personally: Prince of Persia. You know, the one with that Elika chick...

 

[Issurru]

FF14: CE, honestly so far the only good thing about this was that little journal they give you... But that was then a $100 paperweight/journal.

Front Mission Evolved: I bought this with 0 research, hell I didn't even look at any screenshots of it. Serves me Right.

FFX-2: I loved FFX and I thought it was going to be more of the same but damn was I wrong

ANY Suikoden after 3, I rented them, beat them then returned them saying that they had "froze" or something similar so I could rent a different game instead

EDIT: DBZ: Burst Limit, honestly I got it for $5 BRAND NEW and I still regret it since my friend has a PS2 game with more characters in it like What.The.Fuck?

Also I'll count Two Worlds even though it was a birthday gift my dad got me, I made him waste $100 on a shitty CE of a game, sorry dad

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Minecraft.

I WANT MY LIFE BACK.

...MAG. Waste of $50 bucks for a flawed game.

 

[Krxis Rowe]

Let's see... for me:

Shepard's Crossing - PS2 (Picked it up in a pawn shop, and it looked like Harvest Moon but wuth fighting. I was very, very wrong.)

The something of Mana game for the PS2

God of War 3 Collector's Edition (I played it once, it was fun, but I should have just got the normal edition)

Gothic 3 - PC

King Arthur The Roleplaying Wargame - PC

Agricultural Simulator 2011 - PC (I have no idea what I was thinking when I got this)

Magic: The Gathering - PC (Wasn't what I was hoping for)

Risen - PC (I just couldn't get in to it)

Metroid: Other M - Wii (Just... gods dammit. Gameplay was good, but the story and the where's Waldo bits angered me beyond belief)



That's about it for me, I think.

 

[ObsessiveSketch]

Alien Versus Predator, the recent one on Steam

 

[honestdiscussioner]

Matrix: Path of Neo (Hey, how about a game based off the Matrix, only if it had all happened completely different from the movies?)

The Matrix: Online (Computer couldn't handle it. Never got to play it :-(. I"m told I wasn't missing much.

Force Unleashed II (Wow, this is a great game I can't wait to play the next . . . wait it's over? That was three levels, plus 60 seconds of Yoda? I paid 60 bucks for this?)

 

[Chadling]

Does anyone remember a strategy game called Impossible Creatures? Let me give you an idea of what a minute of gameplay sounds like.

THE CRITTERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!! THE CRITTERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!! THE CRITTERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!! THE CRITTERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!! THE CRITTERS ARE UNDER ATTACK!!

Ugh.

 

[Grotch Willis]

The Game I regret buying the most is MW2, i was persuaded into buy that piece of shit by all the kids on my dorm floor last year, because they all played it. Also because I actually enjoyed COD 4, i mean its not TF2 good, but it is still by far better than BLOPS and MW2.

 

[AnimatedAmbiguity]

I got King Kong on the DS just shortly after it first been released. At that time, there wasn't really much in the way of good, satisfactory shooters for the platform, so I took anything I could get! But... Well, y'know that saying that "some is better then none,"? Yeah, the idea of none was practically ideal after having played through that entire atrociously buggy abortion of a "game" in a laughable hour and a half sitting! I recall trying in vain to convince myself that I hadn't just wasted 40$, and that there were actually aspects of it that could be seen as redeemable. But no amount of self-persuasion could take my mind off the fact that what I had bought was broken beyond all comprehension!

My animosity for that title knows no end. It's right up there with Mortal Kombat Advance!
