Your Most Regretted Game Purchase

[qDreams]

dragon age 2

 

[Jellly]

Warcraft 3: Frozen Throne. Only got it cuz everyone else was playing it. Literally a few days after I bought it no one played :/ At least I learnt to only buy what I want to buy.

Its a tie between Street Fighter 4 and Red Dead Redemption. I suck something awful at fighters and RDR bored me to tears.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?

RDR? Boring? You're nuts.


You sound an awful lot like "the kind of twitching, Ritalin popping, X-Box owner who falls into a narcoleptic coma when they go without killing something for 45 seconds." [Yahtzee Crosshaw]

 

[Nimzar]

Shadow Hearts: Journey to a(the?) New World.

The previous games were good. Thought: "Hey! A new Shadow Hearts game. That'll be fun" But it wasn't. IT SUCKED.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Gothic 3 was the worst buy for me.It took 1 year for fans to make a community patch to even make the game playable and removing most of the bugs.

I barely managed to finish it,but I was so disappointed when I compared it with Gothic 2.

 

[draconiansundae]

Literally every DS game I ever bought that wasn't Pokemon or Final Fantasy IV.

 

[Anmol Bahl]

I think it would be Far Cry. It was a terrible game...so realistic. and the gun effects Fuuu..so hard on my ears.

 

[andreas3K]

Killzone 2.
I bought it almost a year ago and I've only played the first two missions. I have absolutely no idea why I ever thought I'd get any of fun out of it.
What a big fat waste of 60 euros.

Assassins Creed.

Found it to be too repetative, and therefore I just couldn't get into it.

I had the PC edition (Which contained 4 new mission types, all of which involved killing things with some level of skill). Less repetitive, more awesome.

 

[Issurru]

At the moment I'll say FF14, the Collectors Edition... $100 for a game that wasn't completed and I cant be bothered to play anymore

 

[meowchef]

Civilization IV or Prototype.

I bought them and then played them for a couple of hours and never played them again.

Or maybe he's just bored by endless horse rides, nothing but red/brown scenery and an empty world? It bored be to death as well. But then again, so did Grand Theft Auto IV.

 

[Duck Sandwich]

Phantasy Star Online. I loved it at first, but as I played it more and more, everything wrong with the game became way too much of an annoyance to ignore. The combat system overall is utter garbage.

Dragon Age 2 - turned out it sucks.

 

[blizzaradragon]

Recent: Brutal Legend or Borderlands. I had fun with them both for about an hour and a half, then realized that they weren't nearly as good as everyone hyped them up to be.

Of all time: Final Fantasy XI. It is literally the only Final Fantasy game I haven't at least enjoyed a little bit. Hell, I enjoyed the garbage that was X-2 more than that pile of crap. Its because of that game that I won't even bat an eye at Final Fantasy XIV, and refuse to trust any MMO other than World of Warcraft (and maybe The Old Republic).

What I don't understand the Dragon Age II and FF 13 hate.

I don't get all the hate either. I personally put XIII up in my top 5 Final Fantasy games (at number 4, being beaten out by X, VIII and VI while just barely nosing out IV), and I thought Dragon Age II was another shining example of Bioware at its finest. But to each their own I guess.

 

[Wieke]

Neverwinter Nights 2, bad story, bad engine, bad game.

On a less serious note, Two Worlds, I consider even the 5 bucks it cost me on steam to be too much.

 

[soulfire130]

Enchanted Arms hands down. Worst. Game. I. Ever. Ever. Bought.

 

[noble cookie]

Feckin' ODST, thinking it would be awesome, I traded in like 10 games for it. Stupidest fucking thing I've ever done...

 

[Ladette]

Usually I rent games before I buy them, so I almost never buy something I regret.

I did buy the Orange Box though, knowing full well that I didn't like Half Life 2. I thought Portal would be something amazing like everyone kept saying, but all it was to me was a decent puzzle game that got boring after one play through. I hadn't tried Team Fortress 2, so I hoped that might be fun. After playing a couple matches I went back to CS:Source and Halo 3, it wasn't over the top enough to be better than Halo, and it wasn't realistic enough to be better than CS:Source.

 

[Deathman101]

Dragon Age 2 - turned out it sucks.

It's a decent RPG, just not nearly Bioware standards, the entire game made me want to cry and replay the original.

Hellgate: London. OH THE HORROR.
