Mega Man: Network Transmission. Here I was thinking it was a sequel to the Mega Man Battle Network games and it turns out it was, but the game was more loose than someone's bowels after prune and laxative smoothies.

Oh, did I mention it sucks? It does. Hard.

That's about the only game I ever recall having regret for buying, but I'm still young, and I am going to eventually buy a 360 and PS3, so only time will tell.

Fable 3, wow, anymore streamlined and it will all be a cutscene. I had to do a double take as I thought I was replaying FF13.

Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Diablo and Diablo II come to mind. Horribly boring games.

No, they were actually really boring. The gameplay itself. Mass effect and DA:O had wonderful storylines (from what I've heard), but the gameplay, although good, was just far too repetitive in DA:O's case, and just not satisfying in Mass Effect's. It seems like it should have been fun, and I can't figure out why I didn't find it so. This is my opinion, obviously

Advice for Mass Effect, try playing an Adept. If you want it to feel a bit more satisfying, it's quite fun to start throwing people around with Biotics. Go with Lift, Throw, and my favourite, Singularity, and you'll slaughter.

As for DA:O... Well, I loved the story, but even I haven't been able to force myself through a second playthrough.

On topic now, 187 Ride or Die. I got it for $4 at Wal-Mart for the purpose of wasting an afternoon and seeing how bad it was. In that sense I was satisfied I guess, but it's only gone in the console once, and out the window twice...

I was an Adept! And that's why I can't figure out why I didn't love it! My rational mind was saying 'holy shizzle dude, you just totally zonked him up and shot him over the edge', but my reaction was.. well, not up to the standard of which I seem to be setting for the game ):

But my God, the interactive cinematic, right at the start, when the ship wall was blown off and you were strolling through the newly opened hallway - That was heavenly.

Ninety-Nine Nights. The trailer playing on a loop in the game shop fooled me into thinking I was getting a good game, went home and played enough to learn that it was just a Dynasty Warriors clone and immediately regretted the ten bucks I spent on it. I've tried playing it again a few times since, made it as far as the fourth level because there's only so much drudge I can take before I have to abandon it.

Since then I've subscribed to Yahtzee's philosophy that trailers showing only cutscenes and no actual gameplay do not count as trailers; and I've made sure to either research a game that looks good before I buy it, or get the opinion of somebody that I trust who's already played it.

Just Cause. No, not the second one. I would have rejoiced if I'd bought that. The original.

Take note that I only payed about 5 bucks for it on PC and I still felt like an idiot. I could have bought two Whiz Fizzes for that 5 bucks!!

My Xbox 360...but I do give it a chance once in a while.
The Orange Box I KIND OF regret. If it wasn't for TF2. That saved it. I got for the Xbox 360. Then for the PC. I still play both versions

wtf man, p.o.r.t.a.l.

I have to wonder what some people think when they buy games and cannot finish the first level.
What exactly were expecting from the game, that was completely demolished in front of you within the first five or so minutes?

OT. I'd say Dawn of War: Platinum Edition. Not because it is bad, but because the only reason I bought it was for the Dark Crusade Expansion, and the Disk was fucked so only Dark Crusade wouldn't install.

bittorrent to the rescue!
