I paid full price for this shit?!

[Arawn.Chernobog]

Heroes of Annihilated Empires

So effing terrible. I gave one shot to a Russian title, it disappointed me... I'll stick to Japan, US and some parts of Europe for my gave developing countries from now on.

PS: Spore was also pretty disappointing, though I still had fun with it

 

[The Noble Shade]

Chibi Robo
yeah, I said it. I hated it. I don't see why I was so eager for it in the first place >=[

I suckered myself into buying Chibi-Robo, too. I didn't think it was that bad, but it was definitely not worth 50 bucks.

Any Final Fantasy. I'm starting to think it's something wrong with me, because every single time a new Final Fantasy is released (I've been doing this since nr. 8) I buy it the second it hits shelves. And every single goddamn time it's even worse than the last game. My shelves are loaded with Final Fantasy games and they're all shit. I need to get an intervention or something.

For me it's gotta be Bioshock 2. It had some good qualities but overall it was rather disappointing.

Alpha Protocol.

Dear SEGA,
Please just stop, stop making sonic games and stop making RPGs.
(P.S. You can keep making Valkyria Chronicles though, those are awesome.)

P.P.S- Also, please make another Shinobi game.

Oh joy, this thread again. I'll give this answer for the 4th time: Alien Vs Predator (2010).

Empire Earth 3. Took weeks(!) just to install it and get it to allow me to play a game, and then it appeared completely broken; all the good stuff from the first 2 games was gone, and the first battle I fought was on a Island so small I couldn't even build my base! And there weren't any enemies either; so I couldn't even win the battle. Been sitting on my desk gathering dust ever since. Spore was also a letdown, but I got that one for my birthday, so It was free.
P.S.: always use demo's and youtube to probe the games first now.

batman arkham asylam, but thats a special case - i bought it at full price, but only played it through once. its on my list of games to replay.

Erm, the title of the thread is : I paid full price for this shit? You didnt like Batman AA? Or you define it as shit because it didnt last enough hours? And you still plan on replaying it and still define it as shit?

Dont quite get what you mean. I for one loved Batman AA, best superhero game I have played, and one of the best games I have played period. There is a very specific and easily detectable difference between shit games and short games. I dont think Batman AA falls under either.

i can understand why youre confused. my stance is that a game should last long enough to be worth the amount paid for it. id rather have 50 hours of mediocre gameplay then 14 seconds of bliss. im short on money right now, so id like to be able to enjoy games i play for a period of time. and i replay games that i still classify as shit, because even though i dont particulary like it, if im playing, im not paying (for a newer game). i assumed that the title is an exaggeration, and that the thread is about games that we paid full price for but were disappointed.
i still think it was too short. might be something to do with the frame of mind i was in at the time, but just when i started to (really) enjoy the game, it ended with a decent ending, but still too soon for me. still one of the best super hero games ive played too.

Soul Caliber 4
Honestly, how is it that they actually made it WORSE than SC3?!

 

[Snotnarok]

Metroid Prime Other M, the biggest letdown piece of shit ever. I'm STILL pissed and am selling it tomorrow actually. Fuck you Team Ninja. The worst part is I knew it was going to be bad, but my friend and my cousin both gave me the lecture "You can't say a game is bad till you played it, at least give it a try" and from now on I'm judging games before I buy them.

Army of Two, garbage game, absolutely garbage. I was sniping with a shotgun while my brother was pumping full clips of a machine gun into 1 person to kill them.

Earth Defense Force 2017: Just kidding this is actually one of the best buys EVER. EDF!! EDF!!!

 

[Brandon237]

Command and Conquer 4. WAAAAAAH! And WHY?

 

[Lieju]

None. I buy most of my games used, unless it's something I know is good.

EDIT: Well, I didn't buy this myself, but my mom did; DS game "journey to the center of the earth" What would you expect, it's a movie-tie-in game. Playable, but boring crap.

 

[Stephen Bartlett]

luigi's mansion:granted it wasnt full price as much as close to full price but there are countless games that ive bought for countless times less that are countless times better

also on the topic of gamecube melee is better than brawl. i like both a lot and i HAD a wii but melee had better challenges, targets, sandbag and fighting(technecally its unrelateddd but gamecube isnt brought up much these days

 

[Vykrel]

Wolfenstein (2009)
Bionic Commando (2009)

and some others

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows. It was not fun at all. It was a bland medieval hack and slash with no redeeming features and a boring story. Oh, and some boss fights were ridiculously hard.

 

[DSK-]

Spore, Settlers 7, Red Dead Redemption (I played like 4 missions of that last night actually)

 

[De Ronneman]

GH:Metallica, It seemed sweet at the time...

Also, spore, wtf? I HAVE to be a carnivore, or lose the game? Srsly...
