Purchases you instantly regretted.

[Mercsenary]

Spore.

That game... ugh. That and I couldnt get it to share with the rest of the world. Said it wasnt valid... D:

 

[ethaninja]

Juiced 2. Ohh how I wish I could have taken it back.

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

OT: No doubt there've been a myriad of snacks I've bought through the years that I clearly did not want in the least, but hell! If I have money!
As for games? Guitar hero 3 - I played the first many years ago with friends and LOVED it I figured I'd be able to relive the experience. The game itself wasn't all bad, but because of the expectations, it crushed my dreams and I was left distraught.

You must be the adrenaline junkie type of gamer I think the only reason I can play those sort of games was because I was brought up with a D&D family.

 

[Professor Idle]

I actually bought some dlc for Modern Warfare 2.

... I was drunk okay?

yeah sorry about the trollie mctroll troll thing. its just the games you listed are also the games that alot of people say are the best games ever. a very troll like thing to do. but it looks like your not a troll

my biggest issue with mass effect was that whole dam planet searching thing to get resources which determined the ending you got etc. it was just boring trying to get enough for the upgrades.

 

[TheTim]

well it wasn't necessarily a purchase, but when i traded my first xbox 360 and 5 games for a ps3 and 1 game. because i then realized how much better the 360 actually was.

 

[Gudrests]

Warhammer 40k 2 ....warhammer was good so i throught heyyy these might be too and there on sale....NOPE so bad....the whole cover system is soo dumb in my eyes. idk maybe im used to WC3 and SC2 type games like that

 

[hem dazon 90]

A strapon.

Please don't ask.

 

[Legion IV]

The orange box. Am not kidding. me: Hey the orange box people said halflife is a great game! an hey i love shooters. The only purchase I've ever actually regrted in the last few years.

 

[Sacman]

Morrowind and Oblivion... I got them both on steam for like $5... I dislike both with a great intensity...

oh yes and Fallout 3... I've been playing for about 6 hours and I've been wondering when it's gonna get good...

 

[CoffeeOfDoom]

Fallout: New Vegas.
I thought it looked kinda cool, so I decided to buy it, but I couldn't get into it at all. I stopped playing it after about half an hour.
What a waste of 30 quid!

 

[Firgof]

Hmm. I'm going to say Star Ruler. Bought it because it was on preorder sale and it looked like SoaSE... boy, that was wrong. Half-finished (literally), slow, buggy, turn-based strategy game with no singleplayer campaign (the single point in which it matched SoaSE)... sad.

Turn-based? I'm not sure you actually played the game if you believe it to be TBS. Typo? :s
Also, I'd recommend checking out the latest patches if you haven't; the game has been significantly updated since launch with 11 major patches (with patch 12 coming out in the next few days most likely).

 

[Koroviev]

The sequel to Catch-22. I vaguely recalled that it was a dud, but the price prompted me to buy it against my better senses.

 

[wammnebu]

I bought the lucasarts sale, which was 30 bagels that could have goine towards something i would actually play, like ME2 dlc or books

 

['Aredor]

I tend to premeditate my purchases pretty thoroughly, so I won't be of any help here. I often immediately regret it when my parents buy something... that's my heritage you're spending, dammit! Hey, this'd be a fun topic, if I wasn't so lazy.

In case you really weren't trolling, a little friendly advice: If you didn't like one title of a studio whose games all follow the basic formula, don't buy another one. And (although this one should be even more obvious), if you didn't like a specific title, don't buy its sequel. Assuming here you didn't buy them at the same time, otherwise the advice is "try one first before buying the other one".

Mac Book Pro, 2000 dollors for a computer is easily enough to make me feel uneasy from the get go.

And not even a gaming computer .__.

 

[dtfyvugbhjnk]

Any kind of subscription really, over and over and over again... >.<

 

[JaymesFogarty]

Red Dead Redemption and Force Unleashed 2. God, why. That's £80 gone.

God, I know what you mean. I didn't play The Force Unleashed 1, but my friend convinced me to buy the collectors edition of the The Force Unleashed 2. I'm not sad though; I'll wring him for every penny 'till I get that £50 back. I feel for you, mate!

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Zombie Driver, Assassin's Creed II, my second bass guitar that I never have time to play...
