Your Biggest Secret/Regret as a Gamer

[Titan Buttons]

Buying Lost:The Game
It was just so terriblely done in almost every aspect

Also, you just lost the game

See what I did there?

Why do you think I worded it like that

Really, the game sets that joke up any way you word it. You would have walked into it whether you meant to or not.

True, but I don't think anyone would not realise it before they posted it

My extreme gaming ADD. I'll get a game thinking it looks like entire buckets full of fun. Entire buckets you guys! And is fun, but then something even shinier and more new comes along! So I need to play that!

Suddenly I'm finishing none of the games I have, but then there's a Steam sale! By George, I already have Borderlands on the PS3 but $7! You can barely get a meal for $7 these days!

It's a horrible condition. I'm doing my best to avoid Space Marine today. So far, so good.

I have two biggest regrets. One of them is accidently snapping the disk for Silent Hill 1 when I was younger. The other regret would be that I never took the time to get my Dreamcast fixed when it was broken by my old dog. I miss that console, it was amazing.
My biggest secret is that I own two horse riding games, one of them is broken though and I don't play them anymore but I still have them.

Trying to legitly play CS:S (Regret)

 

[Burn2Feel]

While I can't stand hackers, glitch users, and people who continuously use cheap tactics online, I see nothing wrong in using console commands on PC games. Although, I only use them after I've completed it and I'm just in the mood for dicking around on the game.

My regret is being unable to get into a lot of games my friends recommend me. I feel the flak building but I've never liked Half-Life. Ever. It's just one of those games I just don't "get", same with a lot of games I've played.

Despite being a huge Metal Gear Solid fan I never finished Metal Gear Solid 4.

I gave up on the last boss of the game too.
Just couldn't do it, even after seeing videos online and reading a walktrough of it.

It's likely caused by my extreme hatred towards doing things multiple times.
Caused me a 6month delay in finishing GTA 3: San Andreas and I never finished GTA IV.

Lending out my SNES games to a friend only to have Super Mario RPG and LOZ: Link To The Past stolen. Also, not buying Super Metroid, FF-VI, Earthbound and Chrono Trigger when they were priced normally.

 

[Zeriah]

Having a PS2 but not getting any of the decent games on the system except Final Fantasy X and XII. I was only about 12-13 and basically only played Warcraft III (mainly DotA) during that period (and WoW when it eventually came out) and basically had no care at all for the system and missed out on so many apparently amazing games. It's especially bad since I had almost everything worth having on the SNES and N64 =/

I later got to play Shadows of the Colossus (which was amazing) but there's still so many amazing games I will probably never get around to play.

 

[Scrustle]

My biggest regret is probably buying the Assassin's II Creed White Edition. It's a great game, but the White Edition was a total waste of money. I was expecting it to come in an awesome box and for the in-game extras to be actually worth it. I was wrong. The game case itself is just the same as the normal one and the extra in-game levels were pretty pointless. All you got as a reward was a bit of extra cash, and it's not like the experience of the extra levels were worth it either. They were just the same as all the other stuff in the game. The Ezio statuette is kind of cool but again, it was so not worth it.

There's also buying Fable 2. Absolutely awful waste of time and money. I don't even know why I finished the game, probably because it ended in less than half the time I expected it to. I despise that game.

But I guess some good came out of it. Assassin's Creed taught me to think about buying LCEs before just going SHINY!! I WANT!!! And Fable 2 taught not to trust Peter Molyneux.

I also had Dante's Inferno. It's not really something that stands out as a regret but it was a disappointment and a mistake.

Probably my most embarrassing game secret is not having finished OoT, despite being a big Zelda fan. But that's not such a big deal because I'm actually playing through it now, and having a bloody good time too. Well actually I've just finished the Shadow Temple, which I had been stuck on forever and got quite annoyed with.

The fact that the only thing that really keeps me interested in Halo Reach is the armor customization.

Literally today I played the beginning cutscene twice with two different characters just to see me creation come to life.

Whenever I play the multiplayer, I put myself in constant danger to take every opportunity I can to perform the assassination animations, because I love seeing my character do his sweet moves to the other player.

I've probably spent more time in the customization menu then I have in game.

And I'm not over exaggerating.

Soul brother. I do the exact same I will run across no mans land for the chance to watch my character do the assassination move, just out curiosity what helmet do you use? for me I use the EOD but I might switch over to the EVA or Scout.

buzzing though mass effect 1 so I could play 2.

 

[Stephanos132]

Hmm. Not sure if I regret this, but never played any of the half-life games nor any of the final fantasy ones.

Ah, I know. I bought, played and completed Halo 3: ODST out of sheer boredom, and I did not enjoy myself. You can largely say that's true of nearly all the Halo games I've played (except perhaps the first, which was fun and fresh at the time.)


A poorly kept secret: It took me nearly 7 years of on again off again attempts to figure out how to get through Carnival Night Zone Act 2 on Sonic 3.

 

[Buizel91]

Secret: I play Viva Pinata...

Regret: I have only JUST downloaded Minecraft...

 

[Gorilla Gunk]

I regret buying Brink and New Vegas the first day they came out.

I mean I like both games, but barely a month after they were released they were going for $20 on Amazon. Could have saved $80 there if I'd just waited.

I also regret those three separate times i bought and sold Borderlands.

 

[band43seat]

i regret not buying chocobo racing when i could, but my biggest secret is that i like halo 2, something that i usually keep a secret, cause i have a lot of issues with halo fans, let me play the games single player people, i really dont care if master chief could beat optimus prime and darth vader. easier to say i just dont like halo then go into a rant about not liking halo fans

 

[StealthyNinja]

I've played around 25-30 days online in MW2. Seriously. I have no idea how. Such a waste of time over a summer that could have been spent more productively...by playing Fallout.

 

[scar_47]

Secret, not really sure maybe the fact that I find the COD campaigns fun in the same way the summer blockbusters are its all big and actiony and damn it thats fun every once in a while, still don't like how MP is being done.

As for regrets either lettering my cousin borrow my NES I got it back several years later but it never worked right again and I do miss it sometimes or buying RE5 when released its not worth that kind of money and I'd read a few reviews stating as much but their are always nay sayer so I took a shot thinking it would be like RE4 boy was I wrong, never again will I impulse purchase a new game I haven't researched.

 

[Magicmad5511]

Not getting the Vidmaster achievements in Halo 3 before Reach came out. My friends aren't likely to help. On a related note, another regret is helping my friends to get 'Annual' on a guest account. They have it now but I don't and now they are so scattered and rarely on line I won't be able gather enough.

So my regrets are not completing the vidmasters and completing one of the vidmasters.

 

[Drop_D-Bombshell]

I've never played Ocarina of Time......Or Final Fantasy 7.....I loved the Alone in the Dark remake for Xbox 360.
