Games you regret buying

Too Human...forever.

WET, it was a fun game, but much too short and the ending completely ruined everything about it. Also Golden Axe: Beast Rider, such a SLOW game, in every aspect in that short time I was playing it. And the latest King of Fighters, I know fighting games aren't generally very deep but this one was so incredibly shallow!

LOLWUT?
The only reason I can think of for thinking that is counting shitty licensed anime games like the Naruto and DB games as fighters.

No, I mean any fighter. I mean deep as in has something of a story and the characters are at least somewhat interesting and the game play is fun. To me, most fighter's these days (especially KOF...whatever number this one was) have so little depth in them they aren't interesting. Save for Blazblue, but that doesn't have enough characters to really hold me either.

Edit:

King of Fighters XII - There's not even a story. Not even a cheesey KoF story...just a time

That's the number I was looking for...thank you!

The Witcher (May not have given this one the chance it deserves judging by other people's opinions of it, but the 1 hour I did try it out bored the tears out of me.)

I had the same reaction, then tried again and realized I had stopped at the exact place it gets better. If you're still bored after you get to the first town, then you can call it quits.

My regrets:
King's Bounty. I can see that it's a pretty good game, but it's not my thing.
Oblivion: Bland landscape. Same generic monsters everywhere. Enemies level with player. There was some interesting stuff there but it just didn't work for me.

Chaos Legion for PS2
Such a shitty game

 

[OneOfTheMichael's]

Not really a game but buying the x-box pro back in the days where you get it with kung-fu panda and lego indiana jones...Never ever inserted it into the x-box once since i got it.
OT:250th post!

Tom Clancy's Endwar. Why oh why did I buy it, ill never know. Ugh.

Hey I was about to say that. Glad I was not the only one.

"I want to command my troops with the head-set."
"Very well sir. Would you mind screaming your orders so everyone in the house can hear you? Oh I'm sorry that was not the right tone, try in a louder more obnoxious pitch."

Why did I do that? Why did I buy you?

skip to around 40 sec
OT: Power Drome. it wasn't worth the $2.99 I paid. Everything controls like crap, the ones that go faster than a turtle explode in three wall hit, and the rubberband AI only had one end. I'll let you figure it out.
HINT: I lost just about every race, even when I didn't blow up at all. Two seconds from finish line in 1st place....and AIs 1-5 pass him going five times the normal speed. So sad. And he's flinging the disc across the room...it shattered on impact!

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Haha, good one... Now seriously take that the fuck back right the fuck now. My reaction. Exactly. To a creepy level.

Nope, Unlike most people I was able to see through the interesting setting and realize how shit the GAME part of the GAME was.

that sir is your opinion. I don't see the problem people have with the controls. I actually liked them. i could do with a few less vita-chambers though...

That video about sums up my statement. Wow that is a perfect example of what I was talking about. lol that was too good as well.

 

[park92]

the only downside to RB2 is that i think the guitars are a bit stiff compared to GH

I just use the GH controller. In fact, I never even bought Rock Band controllers =P

you can do that!!!!!!! i'm gonna try it out tomorrow lol thanks

 

[Lula21]

Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Most of it was my own fault for not taking into account the whole backwards compatibility thing. The controls were set up for an original Xbox controller that had two buttons that my current one doesn't even have. And of course those buttons just happen to be pretty vital to combat.

Of course the game wasn't exactly a work of art on its own anyway.

 

[Dr. Whiggs]

MGS2 (controlled horribly, bored), MGS3 (never opened), Fallout 1, 2, Tactics (FUCKING boring gameplay.)

Your hate only gets me harder.

 

[CheckD3]

Armored Core 4

I only bought it as a get one free copy for 10 bucks total, but I snagged it because my friends loved it and I thought I'd try it out. Hated the controls, story bored me, it expected me to figure everything out too early, just was a bad game that I have stuck on my entetainment tower because of my friends. I need to stop listening to all of them, since I tried Bioshock and it did not work for me...any of the 3 times I tried it. Bioshock I. will be the judgement test for me and the franchsie

 

[New York Patrick]

Command and Conquer 4: Kane's Wrath for 360.

Terrible excuse of an RTS. However, the PC version is the opposite.

 

[Mandarth]

Just Cause 2- The controls were buggy and the driving was terrible
Halo ODST- I have never been a fan of the Halo series but that one just took the cake for crappyness
Bioshock 2- the amounts of 'Meh' I got from this was amazing
Halo Wars- Just No. Dear god just no.
Any of the Final Fantasies- I bought a couple of them thinking each time "I might like this one". I didn't
Supreme Commander- When I have to wait around 1.5 hours for the most awesome gun to be built, I tend to start thinking about setting myself on fire to alleviate boredom.
Mercenaries 2- I like wanton destruction. I also like a decent plot, good controls, decent graphics and a sense that my destruction is actually meaningful.

You bought the 3 pack to? I dunno, I only started 1 and I've died more than I have in almost everything except God of War, and I've spent less time w/ it than I did the 2nd part of Ares on God mode in GoW1! I don't want to call it it a regret, but I should call FO1/2/T more of a let down.

Maybe I'm not a retro game fan like I hoped

Command and Conquer 4: Kane's Wrath for 360.

Do you mean Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath? Command and Conquer 4 was called Tiberium Twilight

*Shudders* Twilight

 

[carpathic]

Dark Messiah of might and magic.

I NEVER should have bought that horrible game!

Yes, thank you. Miscounted because they released Kane's Wrath as a seperate game on console.

I just like my games to be less glacial than frozen molasses.

Tropico 3, totally sucked, a complete waste of money

I liked it.... *sniff*

 

[coldshadow]

there is no coming back from the game two worlds. that game scars you mentaly from playing 5 minutes of it.

 

[joe the janitor]

Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising.

I stoppped playing on the second level because it was so bad and unbalanced.

This.

This game was not worth the $50. Coming from a person who likes realistic games
