What purchase have you regretted?

Brink. I bought it for $60 day of release aaaand it was shit. Now it's damn near constantly on sale for $5...

Command and Conquer 4.

Ive never been a huge RTS player but for some reason I thought "No, this'll be different, Ill get into this and play the hell out of it! Yeah!".

Installed it, played a few missions and just thought, "Yeah... this isn't for me.". Promptly uninstalled and never looked at again.

Exactly this, but i am a RTS nut. aI got it in sale, and i should have just re-installed generals or something.

I'd have to go with Space Marine. It's a pretty good game, but I foolishly purchased it at launch and ended up paying $60 for a game that was barely four hours long.

Did you get it on PC or console? The last stand is where you get your moneys worth. I have played over 60 hours on it, Just mindless fun killing orcs with 3 other people.

I got it on the PC, guess I forgot about the multiplayer. Thanks for the tip though, I'll have to try that out.

The laptop I'm currently using - This damn thing can barely run anything!
Final Fantasy 13 - That was awful. Some parts were good but I felt there was too much wrong with it.
Final Fantasy X-2 - If I want hyper girly time I will go and get a barbie game. There was too much wrong with that game. Too much. The complete change of Yuna, the stupidity of the other characters. The massage scene!
The make up I bought about 7 years ago - Peer pressure. I have never touched the stuff, I could never understand my friend's fascination with it. I have never worn make up once in all my life and yet I own some of it and it cost me £20.
Uncharted - I don't think I have ever felt so bitterly disappointed about a game in all my life.
Super Mario Galaxy - it was nice to look at. But eh... I couldn't get into it.
Silent Hill Homecoming - Gods what a load of crap. Some parts were genuinely creepy, like the mother in her rocking chair and some parts were good.

Bought GRAW 2 for PS2. At first I was sad because I choose that over God of War. Then years later when I played it, I realise that I'm more dissapointed that I spent the money at all, because I hated both of them (I love God of War 3 though)

most of the stuff I bought off ebay

Pokemon Diamond

No matter how hard I tried, I could not bring myself to like this game.

I want my $30 back.

I bought Duke Nukem Forever and Vampire Rain, two games that I have severely regretted having even touched.

What drove you to such madness?

Vampire Rain I bought because the back of the game box lied and made it seem like I'd actually be fighting vampires rather than sneaking around and hiding from them.

As for Duke Nukem, I bought it at a 'But one get one for half price' sale at a Target. I paid full price for Cyrsis 2 and half price for Duke Nukem. And, while I expected it to be a bad game (think the video game equivalent of a B-movie), I had no idea that it would be an unintelligible, god awful piece of shit(the equivalent of a Syfy original movie).

After those two games I have become much more cynical and will only pre-order games from a franchise that I have already played and enjoyed (Assassin's Creed for example)
