Diablo 3, motherfucking Diablo 3. Yes I know it isn't from Steam, but I still fucking regret it. Quite happy with all my steam buys though, downloading Jade Empire: Special Edition as I type this. 
Hawx 2 and splintercell conviction,
I liked hawx 1 but 2 is pretty crap, first thing was that i couldnt even set a analog trottle on my joystick so you are constanly increasing/decreasing speed, secondly some of the missions are boring and/or annoying.
Conviction feels completely generic, nothing like the splinter cells i like. and imo it looks worse than chaos theory :/
p.s. i love arma II but only to screw around in the armory, rest is broken
I liked it before day-z *trows away hipster glasses because they are mainstream*

Than a Bethesda game?Black Arrow Officer said:
My regret was buying Call of Duty: Black ops, I had just played my first CoD game a month or two before so I didn't know about it much and bought it new. It was the same game, except crap in every shape and form.
But it did get me onto Steam so I'm stoked about that.
That's about the only regret I've got, even bad games I like to learn from but this was just too much.
A few months back I bought one of this the figure featuring him in the first Mega Man X's full armor [http://www.gunjap.net/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/3121.jpg] is readily available, I prefer him without it, and you can't take it off, although the original's parts are interchangable with the armored one's.
It was one of the few purchases of whimsy that nagged me for quite some time, and he generally goes for a hundred dollars or more, so when I saw him for eighty on Ebay, I had to go for it. I regretted the purchase for awhile, because that kind of price is rough for someone as frugal as I to swallow, but fuck it, he's awesome, and there are tons of ways to pose him, so the remorse eventually faded.
I plan to grab one or both of the Zero figures as well, just because X occasionally looks lonely there on my computer tower. Plus, I can steal his saber and give it to X to replicate X6, but now I'm being a nerd, so I'll stop before someone gets hurt.

*Looks at console games* Nope!
*Looks at Steam library* Yes. Damn Steam sale made me buy about $80 worth of games. I realized that I'm not going to enjoy most of them that often thanks to my schedule for the next year. [small]I got a new job....[/small]

Yeah, that game was just a mess. Community fixes only did so much, in the end it was big on ideas, short on execution.The_Lost_King said:
For me I suppose Brink, but then I didn't have much in the way of expectations getting it, for $5, I was actually more disappointed than i thought I'd be. No joy in any part of it, I played it till I got a platinum, then spent some time reflecting on things I could have better wasted my time on, like buying $5 in lemons and squeezing the juice into my eyes, or eating $5 worth of marshmallow peeps as fast as I could, or.... you get the idea.
For me it is Racing and Hockey games. I get in these moods sometimes that I just want to play a racing game or hockey. Like for example Forza 3. I'll go out and buy it and a few days be like alright that was kinda fun, but now I doubt I'll play this game for enough two years.
I don't allow myself to spend as much as I used to though, so now I really only buy something if I REALLY want it. I only bought two games from the Steam Sale, Killing Floor and Dear Esther. I am very happy with both my choices although with the price that I paid for them how could I not be happy?
I have already put 23 hours into Killing Floor, what an amazing co-op shooter. Next I want to get Counter Strike: Source....or maybe wait for CS:GO. Not sure. Even if I do wait for GO, I'll have to wait for it to go on sale.
And as for Dear Esther, it isn't for everyone. In fact most people I have talked to about it hated it. But for someone like me, this "game" was right up my ally. Loved it. It will be like Portal, Heavy Rain, Shadow of the Collossus, Orcarina of Time and Bioshock. A game I will play every six monthes to a year just for the experience.

I don't think I've ever had much buyer's remorse (mainly since I don't buy a lot of games), but sometimes I still feel disappointment. Most recently its been with D3. I look at the game, and what was there at launch, what's been done, and what's happening now, and I feel sad, because the game is just not there? IDK how to describe it, but once you get to the end, there isn't anything to do. Its a shame though, because I see the potential of the game, and honestly with a few quick fixes (maybe 2-3 weeks of work, and some as little as 2-3 people in an afternoon), the game could be so amazing. Such a shame.
Master of Orion 3, MOO2 was one of my all time favories tbs titles and 3 was the biggest let down ever, especially when i purchased it on day 1.
I also bought ARMA 2 and the expansion pack, but I have no remorse.Black Arrow Officer said:
Why?
Because Day Z.
Only in Alpha stage and still fun.
Even better with a few friends, all you gotta do is watch out for the survivor bastards murdering you.
Only remorse I do have is that I had to buy such a crappy game to enjoy such an awesome mod.
Ehh...
Mafia II.
It has a great story, but it's too god-damn short.
I returned it the week I got it. Very disappointing.

Well, half my Steam list is full of games I haven't played much or at all, but I take solace in the fact that I never paid more than $5.00 for these games (except Portal 2, curse you Valve!), and that I really do wanna play them... I just like Total War far, far more than most of them!
The best thing you can do now is make yourself set aside some time for those games that you think you won't play. Otherwise you'll never know if one of those games was some sort of hidden gem you missed. I bought the Humble Introversion Bundle and later they added Dungeons of Dredmor to the pack which I had been kind of poo-pooing in the back of my own head for a while but I ended up trying it out and it became my favorite game from the pack.ScrabbitRabbit said:I regret buying some of the bundles because I won't play all of the games. With a couple I only wanted one of them but my brain was like "but for that price you may as well get them all!" and now I have several games I'll probably never play.
I'm stupid, I know
OT: I'd say probably Demolition Inc. but that's really only because I've not been able to play it because it keeps crashing for some bullshit reason that the devs "can't figure out" and all of their workarounds and other people's solutions don't do an damn thing to fix it.
