Worst Waste of Money on a Game.

DELETED

Deus Ex: Invisible War

That terrible sequel was uninstalled within two hours of purchase. The fact that it was the sequel to a truly fantatstic game, the original Deus Ex, made me cry big, sad tears.

I've had the misfortune of doing this three times. First time was with Resident Evil: Outbreak, the second time was the first Naruto: Ultimate Ninja, third (hopefully final) time was Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.

tenchu wrath of heaven? man that game brings back memories. i bought it when it first came out and i really enjoyed it... sure, thinking back on it, the story was lame and the characters unlovable, but i felt a great feeling of accomplishment when i'd actually finish a mission without being seen.
Then there was multiplayer mode, which was basically mess about with your friends playing as the retarded fat first boss, who actually had a move which game items to your opponent
heh heh, i even remember the "restore your health back to full code", pause up down right left square square square XD fun fun times.

Superman 64.. Well it was a Christmas gift.. So really, for my parents it was a huge waste of money and for me it was a terrible gift to get on Christmas!

I better find my asbestos suit for this one.

God of war 3, to kill any enemy all you have to do is press square, square, triangle or if theres alot of them hold L1 and bash square.

I have no idea why it's held in such high regard.

Indeed, but it's odd how I don't get to play demos when I am randomly gifted with over $100 in Gamestop credit that I have to use before exiting the store, and gloriously was not looking for any games in particular at the time.

Then you can't complain about the waste of money. Besides, Gamestop takes returns, full refund if you buy used. Other than that, I'd say sucks to be you, but I wouldn't mind getting $100 randomly.

Not here they don't. If the seal's broken, you're stuck with it.
Huzzah.
Other than that, the spontaneous $100 was pretty win, I just wish I had been better informed at the time. xD

 

[[Kira Must Die]]

Halo 3. Spent $150 on it, and I haven't even played the first two. Wasn't worth it.

It just shows how hyped up that game was, and how gullible I used to be.

I've played a number of stinkers, but the most wasteful was Everquest, or as I like to call it, the most expensive typing tutor ever. Seriously. my family spent probably a thousand dollars on my account between the expansions and the monthly fees over the six years I played. And then there was the time invested. Probably hundreds, if not thousands of hours wasted on the biggest grind I have EVER played. Looking back I have not the faintest clue how I managed to stay patient long enough to get to level 68 or whatever I was when I quit.

 

[unoleian]

Too Human. I will never stop regretting that purchase.

Truer words are rarely spoken...what a terrible disappointment, and abysmal accomplishment in utter fail that one was.

 

[Misterian]

F-Zero GX, it costed me $8.

It might not be much to you, but with how I rarely get any money, and how the game is unintuative and frustrating in so many levels, it was a big waste to me.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

Too Human. I will never stop regretting that purchase.

Bought it used at game stop returned it the next day and with an extra 5 bucks i bought Oblivan best trade in ever

 

[.Andi.]

Fokelore. I just... no. Just no.

 

[PayneTrayne]

Dragonball Z: Sagas. Beyblades. Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Memories. SpyFiction. .hack//.

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

Mirrors Edge. I wouldn't have minded it so much if i had rented it and beat it once. but i paid the full amount for the damn thing and it just wasn't worth it. I've bought worse games but never have i payed so much for one.

Shaun white snowboarding, it was such a terrible game I almost broke my controller trying to figure out the controls. I have no idea why I bought it in the first place.

Killzone 2, I TRIED to like it, I TRIED to play through it. I hated every second of it, I couldn't sell that game fast enough. It was horrible, none of my friends enjoyed it either, I tried to find SOME redeeming factor even if it was someone ELSE enjoying it. Nothing.

I couldn't agree more. I consider myself a master of sitting through games I don't like. Any JRPG grind, any repetitive levels, even training multiple Pokemon to level-fucking-100, and I'll sit there with a big smile on my face...and I just could not sit through Killzone 2's 6 hour campaign or whatever it was. I just...couldn't. Then I tried to like the multiplayer, and after a few hours of torture, I traded in the game for half the price of what I had paid a week before (full price, of course). I can't fathom how much Sony had to pay the reviewers to get that 91 on Metacritic, but god...never again.

Yeah I really don't know what people saw in it, I know a few people who loved it but I just didn't like anything about it. The thing that confuses me is I love FPS, I've played and beaten a lot of them and will have fun with ones that I don't generally like (MW2 for instance) but Killzone wasn't just not fun, it was just annoying. MW2 I got to play with my friends and whatever, it's not bad but I'd rater play other titles, but it's what my friends play so whatever I play and have fun. Killzone 2 was another story, I'm not sure what it was, I hated the guns, the voices(takes the cake for worst voices in a FPS) , the sounds, to sum it up, it just fucking SUCKED.

If you're reading this and you liked it, take it how you will, if you enjoyed it that's great, just know I gave the game a solid chance and made it nearly to the end and I couldn't take it.
