Purchases you instantly regretted.

[Double A]

I have bought several games of the XBox Arcade and instantly regretted them, as I had only been addicted by the demo for 10 minutes and then I spontaneously bought it.

Also, I think I bought Carcassonne literally one week before Microsoft gave it to everyone for free.

It is usually clothes with me but i have gotten DLC that i did not need.

My iMac, after I realized that that I just pared an extra $1000 for shiny-ness.

.........but it's really shiny man.....I'm sure graphic designers would differ but.......damn they are shiny huh lol.

Almost any subway sub I've bought MAYBE excluding when the sub of the day was only £2 and there was a good one on, otherwise, nearly every single unsatisfying, shallow, processed £7 disappointment I've ever bought there, but I seem unable to learn and proceed to buy them semi-regularly or regularly enough for it to be a common money sink.

Final Fantasy 9 with one of the discs missing was pretty arse too, and since I bought it from a charity shop I felt obligated to keep it and not complain. Asking for my money back from a charity shop is something my brain won't allow me to do, especially seeing as I've saved fortunes on books there in the past.

Halo ODST. (Shouldve been a fricking DLC).

Lost Planet 2 (A fucking piece of shit game. Its inferior to its predecessor on all levels, avoid this one like cancer.) I bought it and regretted it after having played it for 10 min.

 

[Bruin]

"The Dwarves" and "The War of the Dwarves".

Worst fantasy bullshit I have ever read.

At first minecraft... now let me finish, i didn't have a clue, a tutorial and a full lets play series later and I loved it (and knew what to do).

 

[Snotnarok]

Killzone 2, I 'm a huge fan of shooters and the game was just terrible and I can't imagine how anyone liked it

Metroid Other M: The game that killed Samus as a character. I was SO pissed I bought it

 

[bawkbawkboo1]

Red Faction Guerrilla PC edition. The controls feel loose, there is significant pop-in even on a relatively decent system despite the fact that there are like four terrain textures in the whole goddamn game, Games For Windows Live sucks, and it crashed to desktop within the first 15 minutes of the download completing. Also it's really repetitive.

I have the shame to say that I have bought a Meow Chi. I had the take the batteries out after an hour because it wouldn't stop making noise. Also, I bought "Kirby's Tilt n' Tumble" on the same day. It was a sad day.

Also, "Dead Rising." Couldn't continue playing after an hour and a half because I got so frustrated and returned it the next day.

buying planet pachinco with wii points... it looked great and was advertised well

but the game itself was absolute crap and I had nothing better to do with 500 points...

EDIT: same with "Dragon Master Spell Caster" and "Niki Rock 'n Ball"

all were 500 point ($5) games that I had nothing to do with that $5 and I was rather impulsive
(could have gotten Megaman 9 and some add-on's)

elfen lied on dvd the queerest and most kid friendly anime ever (i really dont meant that sarcastically the manga was much more adult friendly) then i got gantz and i made everything better

 

[Drefanator]

DragonQuest Sword... I was like "hey sweet, I need an rpg for my Wii, and I've never minded the DQ series, even though they have never been my favourite (too big of a FF fan to give DQ a chance even after the Square/Enix merger)."

1hr in... "Oh, this game is kind of fun"

6hrs in... "Oh wow, It really seems like I'm getting to the climax of the story"

8hrs in... "Wait.... that's the end? You mean to tell me the story was only 8hrs long? What a waste of money"


Dunno how you FPS fans can deal with a short story. I guess the Multiplayer usually makes up for that.

 

[Skullburn]

Monopoly on Sega Genesis...

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

That one Prince of Persia game from a couple of years back. You know... the one where you couldn't die, there were no traps, barely any enemies and it was all cell shaded?

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

NIER and Final Fantasy Online >_>

 

[SaunaKalja]

Blood Bowl: Dark Elves edition. I just might come around to like it, but man did I regret buying it right after I did. It was even on sale for like 7 ? and it still felt bad.
