Poll: Your most guilt-ridden gaming purchase?

[Jacob.pederson]

I've bought some games I was ashamed to own, play, and even returning them was a shameful journey. I will not name them here though, just too shameful.

Barbie Horse Adventures?

Hard to say, actually...
I seem to enjoy everything I decide to spend money on.
But if I have to choose, I'd say I've bought a few games I didn't quite enjoy as much as I hoped.

 

[Jacob.pederson]

I actually regret none of my purchases. Not even Lair, since I got it for $5.

I think they'd have to pay me to play Lair

Buying a theme for my xbox dashboard. Silly silly silly.

At least you didn't buy pants for your Avatar.

Chibir Robo

WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY

Gah it's so horrible! Why did I even buy it at full price!

You are not alone. I have the Gamecube one. The critics failed us on that one

Yep me too. It was the first time Nintendo power lied to me. Said it would of have been an awesome game

Indeed, I have a friend who bought a cat for his avatar because he has a cat. *rolls eyes*

Two things - MW2: Hardened Edition. I don't regret getting that, because I enjoyed MW2 and CoD Classic, but a few days after purchasing it, I saw it receive a £20 price cut from the website I bought it from.

Secondly, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. It's awful. I remember saying to myself as I downloaded it 'it's not like I need another reason to play Borderlands.' I was given a reason not to.

I got that beat. Picked up the ps3 literally days before the price cut rumours started.

Ouch dude. I would be so pissed if that sort of thing happened to me.

OT: Have to say that I regret my 360. I only have two games for it, and I only play one of them (Bayonetta.) should have used the money for the 360 on PC upgrades back when I got it.

I had to have it for my stereoscopic 3d . . . the LCD's ghost like mad in 3d mode. So there!

oh GAWD. I WANT IT!! WHY did you have to put that there!??! crap. now i gotta hold back from eating food for the next 3 weeks. DAMMIT.

I had enough self control to wait for a price drop on it atleast It was $1500. It's an absolutely gorgeous 3d experience btw

*bawls into his computer* now i KNOW there is no chance that I'm never gonna have it. D' :
how i rue the fact that I am so poor.

I went on a binge and bought pretty much all the DLC for Dead Space when I got my first credit card.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to need 4 different types of the assault rifle. That makes perfect sense. -_-

 

[HeartlessHero]

Buying blazblue when i know i hate fighting games, buying modern warfare 2 i love it but it gives me high blood pressure, and sonic the hedgehog...yeah that's self-explanatory.

Probably the Wii. I haven't played the thing since Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out which I didn't even think was worth all the hype.

It's killer apps are...

A.) One over-rated fighting game
B.) Mario 3 with 4 players
C.) A shitty version of Mario Kart DS.

I got it after the update that saved it, so I wasn't too disappointed. It was either that or a slice of cheesecake...so it would have lasted me about the same either way.

 

[Der Kommissar]

Modern Warfare 2.

 

[TheJwalkR]

Medal of honor for the wii,
holy shit what a bad game, i got it for local multi player because it said 4 person on the back but it didn't even have it. EB games gift card totally wasted.

My Ps3. Just got it last week. I just went out to the shops to get a bite to eat for lunch and came back with a PS3 250gb hard drive, 6 games, and an HDMI cable...Felt guilty until I plugged it up and started playing, then it all just seemed to wash away.

If I buy a game and regret it, I trade it back for something I'll like. Mind you, that happens infrequently.

As far as hardware goes, I have no regrets at all.

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

A PSP.

I have only enjoyed one game on it. (Chains of Olympus)

one game is all you need, that is...final fantasy dissidia

i can't tell you how many hours i poured into that game within a 3 week span, easily 100 hours, my psp battery was on fire at one point

Final Fantasy is, alas, not to my taste.

I got Crisis Core for it and hated it. I just found it so repetitive and dull.

I also tried the one with the blonde guy, Tidus. Hated it too, and him.

I can see why people love them but it just does nothing for me.

i can understand that, but take a look at dissidia, it is unlike any other final fantasy, it is a fast paced pure action/fighting game, it uses the psp controls to the fullest while having a super fighting/rpg hybrid (less rpg more fighting part)

at least take a look at gameplay videos and wahtnot, its cheap too im sure, probably 15-20 bucks if you buy it at a gamestore used

As you reacted in the least fanboyish way possible and without flaming, I will indeed check it out and watch some vids

haha your welcome, i can see why someone would not like final fantasy at all, dont know what chemical make up in my head makes me, but i like the games, so i play them, but dissidia is a whole different experience from the normal games, so if you have any interest in super smash bros or games like that, i will almost garuntee you will like dissidia a bit, the style of fighting reminds me of it somewhat (just in 3D)

 

[gigastrike]

Sonic and the Secret Rings. I didn't really even want it, I only got it because I figured it was abot time for me to get a new game.
