whats the game you most regret buying?

[Valiance]

Unreal Tournament 3, that was a massive letdown, not even close as adrenaline pumping as UT99. Imo they payed way too much attention to the looks, and the vehicles screw up the original UT99 feel as well.

Unreal Tournament
Multiplayer good.
1 player soooooooooooooo bad.
Protect the prime nod. No! Let me kill something. Attack the prime, get on a vehicle. What made the original Unreal Tournament great was each level was a deathmatch. Well thought out level design. great guns. Two of those things are missing from the one player.
Protect the prime nod. eugh.

Call me a Heretic, but I actually enjoyed UT3's deathmatch. It's too bad the campaign was 80% Warfare, 20% team deathmatch. I liked UT2K4's layout, but kind of wish they didn't replace Domination, and I wish UT3 had assault (I don't know how they could get rid of such an awesome game mode).

Anyway,

the games I most regret buying are...

PC: Master of Orion III. It doesn't deserve to even have that title at all.
Gamecube: Robotech: Battlecry. It looked like a good mech game and wasn't.
Dreamcast: Kiss: Psycho Circus

That's about it.

graw2 fear for ps3

 

[Kodlak]

Any EA game I own, except The Sims on PC, not the PS2 version which are not Sims games.

 

[Fraught]

Most recently, games like Fable II, Gears of War II, and even Fallout 3 abit. *equips shield*
I just thinks it's pretty boring at times, I don't like the empty nuclear wasteland, and that you have to travel so long distances.

Dead Rising.

It is cool to kill zombies in any way possible, but for fkcs sake you start the game WHIT 4 GODAMN LIFE BARS. A strike from a zombie kills one of these life bars. Seriously why the hell are you forced to play the shitty storyline before you actually get some decent life so you can murder the crap outta everything that moves?

Well, maybe because its a zombie apocalypse game and you're supposed to be a squishy human that is easily eaten by the zombie horde. That by far makes the most sense.

But don't mind me, I never played a zombie game.

 

[Specter_]

World in Conflict.

It's like... I don't know. A bag of sick. Way too short and the "story" is a piece of US-disasterpiece...

 

[EgoDeusEst]

Too human. First game I've ever even considered trading for something else.
10-11 hour game, 5 hours used on respawning.

 

[P1p3s]

I can't complain too much because it was a bargain bucket moment.

PC world (don't shoot me for going there!!) had a big basket of games all under 7 quid, some were surprisingly good value and the cheapest of the bunch was Prey. I thought, ok it's a bit old but it can't be that bad and for £4.99 it'll be worth it.

What an enormous pile of poo - I cannot believe the graphics ever qualified as looking new, people transported from the days of Pong would not be impressed!
A weak ass story line that you totally don't buy into, unecessary gore, awkward controls and a terrible copy cat syndrome (terrible because it's copying and terrible for it's execution)

 

[Jack and Calumon]

I regret nothing!!
I enjoyed Haze enough to make it worth £20. I have never played a sonic game, and The only game I regret having was Oblivion, and that was given to me, so I didn't buy it!! Yeah I'm the...

Oh wait...

Spider-man 3 for the PS3.

Damn.

My wife is really into the sims (2 at this time) also. She got me into it too, though I usually just like to design houses and stores; not too into the characters. It IS a living dollhouse, I can't imagine many guys would be into it.

I love the Sims 2 for its building elements. My sister loves it for its people elements. We actually haven't played it recently because we've been busy and I've been at college.

On Topic: I also regret buying games that I never played. I got a couple Wii and GameCube games from Iggle Video (Supermarket Chain Giant Eagle's Video Store) as they had their going-out-of-business sale. Granted, the games were only like five bucks or so, but I never played them yet.

 

[Ghost]

jericho is the most recent i can think of

 

[Grimm91]

Buying Seven samurai 20XX. Worst game ever!

 

[hbomb]

Can I count the Wii as something I regret buying?

 

[Frank_Sinatra_]

1.) Halo 3
2.) Gears of War
3.) Armored Core (any of them)
4.) KOTOR 1&2
5.) Condemned 2
6.) Spider-man 3 PS2 version
7.) F.E.A.R.
8.) SSX Tricky
9.) Robotech Battlecry
10.) Superman Returns
11.) Project Snowblind
12.) Kirbys Avalanche
Thats all I can think of now.

STALKER: Clear Sky collectors edition. STALKER: SHadow of Chernobyl was so awesome, who would have thought GSC would turn around and release a shitty techdemo at full price?

They lured me in with the sheer awesomeness of the pouch that came with the Hungarian/Polish collectors edition. it fits 10 AK magazines like a glove.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix for PSP. I had played the PS2 one at a friend's and it showed itself as a mildly decent exploration game with some nice little spots where you had to solve puzzles with the scenery and your spells. So I went to the shops and bought it for my only console, the lil' (now neglected) PSP. The whole castle (with no shortcuts) was devoid of all these little areas of stuff to do/find. The whole concept had been replaced with taking down flyers that were scattered around the castle. Think like hidden packages from GTA. I'm guessing no one has found all GTA hidden packeges without a map. The level designers tell the guide companys and then random people put imitations up onto GameFaqs/similar. Totally ass. That, and the objectives in this PSP game glitch up, so I don't know wether I suck or the game's broken.

But don't mind me, I never played a zombie game.

It's kinda hard to do the storyline too, when I can't even get past the 1st boss.

Why is that you'd ask? Well first off you gotta navigate threw a mall full of zombies and make sure you DON'T lose any HP in the process. Then when you finally get to your destination, you're give a gun whit 30 bullets and asked to go and shot a dude in the face, only this dude throws grenades and is up on a ramp and keeps running. So everything goes well you shoot the dude, then BAM! No more bullets. Now you can try and throw every single piece of furniture you find around there, but you'll never hit him, so restart level and retry and retry 'till you finally whit any kind of luck manage to get him down enough so your "nice and competent" companion who has a gun too(whit infinite bullets of course) can finally, in about half an hour, slowly kill him. Nice eh?

Thing is, it's VERY addictive to just go out in the mall, get a shotgun and shoot the crap outta zombies, or get a knife and kill them. What this game is "worth purchasing" is mostly just to kill zombies, and has boring has this might sound, it's addictive and nice. I mean think about it every single thing you find can be used to kill one of the undead.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

so what made everyone regret their choice?

bad gameplay?
graphics?
ridiculous storylines?
other reasons?

 

[TheBadass]

I've never hated a game as much as I hate Prince of Persia. Worst impulse buy ever. The bad part is that I can even tell that it's a good game in theory, I just despise playin' it to the point of ridiculousness.
