Your Most Regretted Game Purchase

[Snotnarok]

Metroid Other:M, need I say more? Awful game, awful everything.

Every Final Fantasy after Tactics, 8,9,10, Tactics Advanced all of them ranging from bad to bastardization of a great series.

Oh and Kingdom Hearts, weak fanservice served with a awful story.

Has to be MW2. I'm one of the poor saps who deprived themselves of sleep just to play one of the most by the books, uninspired and downright disgusting sequels in the world. Dont get the hating on Blops though, although that's probably because of the boat level, with the Rolling Stones playing and the screams my poor, stupid victims...... Anyway, Dragon Age: Origins is a close second, it actually made me feel like vomiting, not in a joking, exaggerating way. So much brown...

Final Fantasy XIII ('nuff said)
Dead Rising 2 (just couldnt get into it, i thought the getting meds for your daughter thing was annoying to no end)
Blops....

Not only did I bought "Alone in the Dark" for the Wii but I bought the limited edition of it. Ok while the figure of the main character and the artbook is decent but the soundtrack isn't my taste.

Haze it did so little right, and what was good was abruptly cut short most of the time by the failing of the drugs, then completely when i had to stop...
Edit: I think right is an overstatement.

Final Fanasty XII stands out for me.

 

[HyperCubed4]

Just Cause 2.

What I was expecting: "OMG THIS GAME IS AMAZING! THE WORLD IS HUGE AND I CAN HOOK PEOPLE ONTO PLANES LMFAO!"

What I got: "Hey guys, let's have the worst voice acting ever put into a massive world with barely anything to kill and a shop system that's absolutely terrible."

every call of duty after the fourth one, nothing but hackers, lag, and shitty hit detection.

"Generation of Chaos" on the PSP. I bought it a decade ago and I still cant figure out how to play it. The mascot character says she will give you a tutorial... but it never comes...

FFX.

Dunno how old i was when i bought it, but i remember reading some reviews in magazines (wished i had discovered the internet sooner) and being dazzled by all the praise it got. What followed was over 9000 hours of annoying dipshits playing volley-ball and tedious fucking boss-fights (what? don't tell me that you didn't know that potion X kills Monster Y?) and boring ass puzzles. The only good points i could give FFX is that Bahamut looks bad-ass, but thats it.

From the moment i finished the game, i knew to stay away from most JRPGs, that is excluding Demons Soul, i consider RPGs in the context of not where they are from, but what kind of game it is (heavy anime/manga art-styles etc.).

Probably COD Black Ops(ps3), the fun burned out in a couple weeks then it just became boring like every other COD game >_>.

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

Homefront.
I'll admit it was a decent game.
but The campaign is soo damn short. I beat it in less then 6 hours.
Also, the Multiplayer got boring very quickly.

 

[super_mumbles]

Xenosaga: Episode 2
I hadn't heard much about it and thought "huh, a bigger than average box and a small price..score" Turns out I was wrong, I couldn't even make it very far into the tutorial without getting bored and giving up.

 

[tehroc]

Civilization 5. Its obvious reviewers never played more then one game as it's flaws don't surface until several games down the line.

 

[Wierdguy]

COD:MW2 - bought it for a LAN party with a few friends about a month after it came out - havent opened it since... biggest waste of money ever. Not cause its nessecarely a bad game, i just dont like the genre very much. Peer pressure is a bad bad thing

 

[ianmorris]

metal gear solid 2 for PC, ended up buying it for ps2 to play it for real. recently bought bubble bobble double shot for DS and it was not that good (traded it in to another gamestop)

I really reget buying C&C 4, man EA could not have kill the serie in a better way!
