Games you wish you hadn't spent the money on

[Malkavian]

Eternal Sonatta. It's not that the game itself is shitty, but since I couldn't forget it for it's long, pointless, and pseudo-poetic dialogues, it was a waste of money.

 

[n00beffect]

Honestly, I would say:

The Prince of Persia series(And I KNOW I am gonna get castrated for this statement)
The Halo Series (And for this as well...)
Sainsts Row (And for this, because it's "Yathzee's favorite gaaaaameee", yeah but it's shit!)

And Games I would never spend money on:
All the WoW's
MU Online's
and every other RPG out there. Except maybe Diablo III. That would interest me.

Hellgate london - this **** isn't worth looking at.

 

[SextusMaximus]

The Orange Box, the only thing I liked was Team Fortress 2, and this was the PS3 version...Half Life 2 was immensely overrated.

It's PS3 WHAT DID YOU EXPECT.
You Hl2 is awesome. AND PORTAL. WHAT ABOUT PORTAL?!?!
Or did you just conveniently miss that little gem because the escapist LOVES portal?

PS3 or not, it was still on overhyped pile of turtle shit. I played Portal and never saw the "wow" factor everyone was on about.

Seriously, it's because you played it on PS3.

I regret almost every game I ever bought, because now I rent games instead I can see how much money I could have saved myself!

Specific games that still make me bitter (in no particular order);

Disney's Hercules
Farcry 2
Fable 2
The Godfather 2 (I still hate myself for paying full price for that piece of shit)
Crackdown
Streets of Rage 2 (Downloaded for a few hundred MS points right before being bought the Mega Drive Collection)
Street Fighter 4
Gears of War 2

Halo 3: ODST

 

[beddo]

It has happened to all gamers. Buying a game that once you place it in your xbox you regret spending the 60 or so (maybe more maybe less) dollars to do so. What incredibally dissapointing games have any of you gamers bought?

That Stupid Bourne game!It was sooooooo bad. I'm hoping that Splinter Cell Conviction will make up for it.

 

[HuntrRose]

Rainbow 6 Vegas 2. Wasn't more than about 300NOK, but still.
Learned a lesson though, never buy games out of nostalgia for the earlier games of the series.

 

[Plurralbles]

All of them(haha). But if I had to say I wish Medal of Honor European Assault was a free flash game. It's "that" good.

Seriously, it's because you played it on PS3.

And how would it make the basic game any different?

Some games are made and equipped for PS3, some games are made and equipped for PC - the fact is, these games were meant to be played on PC and the PS3 version have very limited support.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Darksiders.

Seriously, I even gave it a positive review. But as the week went on, the cracks started to open as I thought about it.

Nearly Everything I Bought on Xbox Live Arcade

Seriously. I only bought good shit. But there was too much good shit to play. And I didn't play most of it.

 

[kinggingerman]

Buster bunny and the beanstalk......I was only like 7 but i still wasted 20 quid on it and over 11 years later i still curse myself. Has anyone here ever played that game btw

 

[bassdrum]

Probably Mirror's Edge, which sucks because that game looked promising... until it turned out to have a story even more insane than I am.
The PS3 version of the Orange Box--that thing is glitchy and painful, and now that I have it on PC I shouldn't have to deal with it again.

That doesn't explain how in any way the games would be different on the console. Give me solid proof that the gameplay is different on the console then on the PC beyond controls. If someone doesn't like Oblivion on the 360, chances are they're not going to like it on the PC even though the PC version is superior.

The game is glitchy on the PS3 in ways that it isn't on any other console. Plus, Valve refuses to even touch the PS3, let alone develop its own games for it (The Orange Box was sent out to a different team, I think EA UK, for the PS3 version). All the bugs which have been found are left unpatched as a result.

Okay, okay - I said previously: "It's because you played it on PS3", what I clearly should have said is "Perhaps it's because you played it on the PS3".

Also, it's because of controls, the PS3's R2 button, in my opinion - isn't sufficient for shooter games.

And notice how I said In my opinion.
