Worst Mistake You've Ever Made Regarding a Game

[Insert Comedy Here]

I used my Master Ball on an Onyx.

I'm not gonna lie, that's probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of.

Dropped the Master Ball, thinking I could get it again later from the guy that gave it to me.
Having owned Superman Returns.

A while ago i had to make a decision between buying left for dead or NFS undercover. For some reason i got NFS, eventually i got L4D anyway and sold NFS

believing gran turismo would come out for psp...

Any time I've removed a game, or memory-card during the "DO NOT FUCKIN' MOVE" moment during saving. I've lost a whole battalion of Pokemon and my Uber-Glowing-Awesome-Chao through that bastard.

Cheating to get T51-b in Fallout 3.

I'm considering starting all over just to get it without cheating.

 

[Christemo]

thinking warhammer online was worth the money. i bought on release date and played for 2 months. but the glithes made me stop playing after a short time. also the WOTLK release drawed me away.


OR when i bought God of War from Amazon.com. it gave my ps2 huge malfunctutions. now it can only play a few of my many games.

Playing Deus ex without saving for 3 hours ( autosave off), and then dying.


Just f-ing awesome.

Playing Doom 3 on my 360, it screwed the disk-drive up and I couldn't play a game until I replaced the disk-drive.

My brother was being a total dick again, so I threw my case for Dark Cloud at him. Sad part was that I didn't know the disc was in there. I really miss that game. It was soooo fun.

 

[Simalacrum]

getting Armoured Core 4 despite it getting mediocre reviews. I kept on hearing that "its for the die-hard fans"... at the time not realising that basically meant "its kinda shit", I thought "hey I could become a fan of this series!"

how very wrong I was.

I bought Assassins creed, I wish with all my heart I had rented or something.

Oh, god I just remembered, I pre-ordered Assassins creed 2. WILL I NEVER LEARN!

Well, unless you bought the pc version and then realised that ubisoft doesn't care at all about PC users, and is happy to realese console ports that fail upon execution on said pc's (and before anyone comments, yes, my pc is far beyond the recommended stats, it seems that devs are too inept to work with things that aren't bog standard low end pc wannabe crap hardware than to actually code for quality computer experience). It seems to be almost common that developers and publishers care more about consoles than PCs, even though computers are what drives all technological developments. (Yes, your shitty tri-core celeron xbox360s and dual core pentium 4 playstation 3s are nowhere near up to cheap gaming PC spec. Get over it already and move to the one true gaming platform.)

Ubisoft, Bethesda and Activision will never be getting my hard earned dollars again, that's for sure. They can keep their low spec console port shit, I'll only be investing in games that actually utilise the PC and all the hardware upgrades that go with it (Like far superior graphical ability, advanced memory usage and size, hard disk access and all that, the sort of things that consoles, being exceptionally low-end pc's with serious software restrictions, try to emulate but are so far behind in tech it's funny). Which honestly, in recent days, limits me to Left 4 Dead, Dawn of War 2 and the few other games (mostly MMOS, sadly) released for PC without conlse downgrading.

Without trying to hijack the thread, how long are we PC gamers going to put up with inferior console ports before we actually organise and try to do something about it? I for one am sick of the shitty ports offered to PCs, for a dollar cost that is well over the console (or wannabe low-end PC with no capabilty other than low end games, whatever you decide to call it). We made gaming, and without us, technology would NOT advance, and I for one, am sick of having crap games with console era graphics and gameplay offered up as the be all and end all of gaming once a month.

Viva La PC! The one and forever gaming platform, that all others wish they could be.

I could've bought God of War but I bought Ghost Recon instead...Worst. Purchase. Ever.

Saving over my only game in Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, not knowing that I was only a second or two from being blasted to oblivion by a wave of fire designed to stop you from doing the puzzle too slowly.

I corrupted my Summoner game for PS2 with 70 hours on it at the door to the final boss.

Buying Arkanoid for the Super Nintendo when it came out.
I payed 80 Deutsche Mark (that were about 50-60 $) for fuckin Breakout.

 

[Wayne Insane]

Throwing away my Dreamcast last year. I bought a Gamecube the other day just to play Sonic Adventure and Resident Evil 2 again.

Gamecube doesn't have VMUs though

You THREW AWAY your Dreamcast?
WERE YOU HIGH?I mean, selling it would've been stupid enough but at least kinda understandable but THROWING IT AWAY???You just won this thread.By far.
