Worst game PURCHASE you ever made.

[omicron1]

Risen was absolutely terrible, played about 20 minutes of it and it was possibly the worst game I have ever played.

You played it on the 360, didn't you?
There's a reason for the 17-point inter-platform difference, you know.
And if you like the gothic series? Add another 10-15 points to the score. For me, risen (on pc) is about an 89. Also one of the few games I've played through to the end...

Kingdom under fire: circle of doom! (I think that's it)
Final Fantasy Tactics.. that was.. just.. wow.. to horrible to even want to relive

*has FFT as one of his favorite RPGs of all time*

Get to explainin'.

You cannot look at me with a straight face and say that FFT:WotL is a great game, no one can. The guy at gamestop told me not to buy it that I'd be wasting my money, and I did. I wasted it..

Kane & Lynch 2. Oh why, Kane & Lynch 2? The same to you, Limbo, I wanted to like you so badly, but in the end you just broke my heart and took my money.

 

[epikAXE]

Fairytale fights, bought it on launch day. So much regret...

 

[Jakub324]

Matrix: Path of Neo. It was based on the films, so obviously they had to cram 50 more outrageous fights in.

 

[Archemetis]

Eternal Ring for the PS2.

God... I... I don't think I even want to get into it.

To put more content into my post, I'll have to put it out there.

I spent money on collectors editions of both Fable 2 and Fable 3 at their respective releases.

God, I wish I hadn't.

(I would have still bought the games, but I wish I hadn't spent £60 for each.)

To top it off, I recently spent money to get the original Fable for my 360 since I sold my original Xbox and copy of Lost Chapters to my Girlfriends little brother.

It would have been a worthwhile purchase had it been lost chapters like it fucking well should be...

 

[SadakoMoose]

Umbrella Chronicles for full price and no zapper...

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Metro 2033 *headdesk* Nothing was good about it to me. I hated it.

 

[Gunjester]

Damnation. I'm a sucker for Steampunk settings, and blew...well let's just say a blew way too much money on it.
I've bought worse games, but not for as much.

My most disappointing was Dark Void for $60. I don't know why I did it, I just remembered seeing a trailer for it three years before hand and thinking it looked cool then. It's odd since I usually don't make that bad of uninformed game buying decisions but for some reason I did.
My second worst one I could remember was Homefront also at full price. I had classes on the day I bought it, but I still finished the campaign that day (As well as play some multiplayer). The end time for me beating the campaign on normal was about 4:30 hours.

My recent bungling of my wallet would have to be Brink. I payed "full price" for it out of sheer frustration. I had been playing a few bad, unsuccessful L4D2 games at the time, and decided to "find another MP game" and just "have fun" with it.

Well, I payed full price for it, and had no fun. It's just... a terrible game. It has a great concept, but almost everything about it is mediocre. Too many flaws, bad network performance, no single-player value at all, etc. The actual "teamplay" is not there, and the action is bad. Everyone just runs around on tiny maps engaging in rather sad "shootouts".

This is what happens when I buy on an impulse.

I'm not really sure what my "worst purchase of all-time" is.... Just too many games on that list with two decades behind it.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Bulletstorm. I paid $60 for a game that had MAYBE 20-30 worth of content.

Yea. I have to say I'm glad I rented it.

My pick would have to be the game that got me renting again: No More Heroes. All the critics (even Yhatzee) loved it and now I need to find out what shit the critics have been smoking?

What might come close however is the one game I didn't rent/try before buying last year: Fallout New Vegas. It would've actually been a pretty good game if it actually worked. But it took them 6 months to get it working (that is assuming that it actually works now) and by that time it was going for $20. Wish I rented and/or waited on that title.

 

[Soulle55]

I've got 3 that have all been consider "THE WORST GAME EVAAAR"

Dragon Ball Z Sagas
Final Fantasy X-2
Hyperdimension Neptunia

With the 3rd being my fault since i bought it on impulse as a joke with my friends.

 

[Von Dean]

Final Fantasy 13

I hesitate to even call it a game to be fair.

Single worst thing Square Enix have ever done.

I agree with this,one of the worst items i've ever paid full price for....and after reading more of this thread I have to add Brink..

I can easily. It's possesses incredible diversity and replay value, is somewhat fast by SRPG standards, unique battlefields and foes that accompany them, a damn fine OST, great atomsphere (helped no doubt by its musical score), and a plot that has relatively few holes and comes together nicely once you piece together events.

The only faults are its localization typos, that the game implies the Abrahamic God had a second son, that said son was evil (or something, I haven't played the game in a while), the computer AI, the lack of difficulty in later chapters, the occassional random difficulty spike and that battles can take from 20 minutes to an hour.

The only way you can dislike FFT is if you dislike RPGs in general or if you quit in the first chapter, which doesn't really give the game a fair shake.

Normally I am actually always pretty happy with the games I buy, but there are still some exceptions:

CoD: Black ops for PC. Couldn't actually play it for about a month, then was playable, but still lagged, and lagged, and lagged, and then found out the game wasn't that great either, and was much worse than MW2, at least MW2 ran smoothly, and had a better story.

Fable III, oh how I hated that game. I absoulutely loved the first, even liked the 2nd despite the criticism, but III was just awful, just awful. No customisation whatsoever, bland gameplay, bland story, same graphics as II pretty much, the weapon you started off with was all you needed. It was so bad i couldn't even finish it.

I actually bought superman 64. I still have it to this day, as a painfull reminder of when my youth died.

 

[kgpspyguy]

Thief deadly shadows on steam it makes me depressed to talk about it.
