Kane and Lynch 2. I've never been physically sick because of a game, but this is the very first game that manages to do so.
I'm embarrassed to say that I didn't know about it at the time T_TTinneh said:
Plus my computer could run every other new release just fine, but not BO for whatever reason.
Well if there had been any point at all that I enjoyed even slightly it wouldn't be my choice. Unfortunately, enjoyment never happened, mostly from brokeness that I've explained many many times it the past.Macrobstar said:
Wait, I thought of an even better example: Super Smash Bros. Melee. Everyone was playing it, I wasn't super good at it but it worked well enough. I got a brand-new, cheap Gamecube and I wanted something fun for when my friends came over, so I bought it.
They never did come over. Instead I just played simple 1v1 Stamina Mode matches against the CPU in scenarios like "Luigi, sick of playing second fiddle, fights Mario in Mushroom Kingdom II" or "Black Bowser vs. Bowser in N64 Jungle" and my crowning pathetic glory, having Mario fight Green Bowser in Battlefield, then a stronger Red Bowser in Brinstar Depths, then a lvl 9 Black Bowser in Final Destination... in imitation of Mario 64, a far superior game. I don't even like Mario.
When I finally did get the chance to play it against one of my friends, it was his copy instead and I lost every round. He used Pichu.

That would annoy me if i thought a game was obviously terrible, but everyone goes on about how awesome it is, like GTA4 and every CODarchvile93 said:
King Kong on the DS, and Mortal Combat Advance on the GBA.
Just... why did I ever think those were promising titles worthy of investing my hard earned store credit into? Complete shlock!

It's unfortunate, but the most recent game purchase I kind of regret is Fallout:NV on PS3. I knew it was buggy, but not this buggy. Random freezes, disappearing audio, quest bugs... grrr! And to top it off, it's not even an improvement in any way over Fallout 3. I keep popping it in, in hopes there'll be an update for it to take care of at least some of the bugs, but I've really given up hope at this point. Now I can play anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes before a bug occurs and I end up shutting it off.
I also, at one point, wasted $10 on Two Worlds (the first one) for the 360 hoping for an Oblivion-like experience but not Oblivion and was sadly disappointed. The game is almost unplayable simply because it's so hard to see. The menus are clearly optimized for PC displays and they did very little to make it console friendly.

I'm going to have to go with FFXIII.
Never have I bought a game and felt it was so completely, thoroughly, and irredeemably bad. I wanted to like it, I even forced my self to playthrough to fabled "good part" and still couldn't stand the game or the characters. The thing is there's bits and pieces of things that aren't terrible in the game - but the battle system is terrible and the story while could be good is horrifically paced, and relied way too much on retarded melodrama.
Playing it was like watching a beautiful train derail and and crash in a spectacular fashion.

Civ 5, without a doubt the most poorly thought out, boring, un-fun strategy game I've ever played.
Enjoyed Civ 4 after playing 5, though...
