Games you regret buying

[Aphex Demon]

Demons Souls, £35 brand new... here is what happened.

1. Played the tutorial, I thought this was pretty damn good, movement smooth, combat was smooth etc etc.

2. Big ass monster wtf?!

3. Dead.. oh wait thats supposed to happen, thank f*ck for that.

4. Cool, lets go chop up some baddies.

5. 30 mins in - WTF glowing helmet guy just killed me argh!..

6. WHERE IS MY CHECKPOINT!?... I guess I didnt go far enough for a checkpoint, hmm :/

7. Start level again, Yay I killed the impossible glowing helmet demon guy, just.

8. Played for another hour and a half or so, choppin up more baddies n sh*t, cool this is getting addictive!

9. Oh whats around here? BIG F*CKING DRAGON WTF - Dead.

10. While loading I presumed there would be a checkpoint considering im 1.30 hours in.

11. Back at the start of the level I just spent 2 hours total trying to progress through.

12. F*ck this stupid f*cking sh*t game.

Maybe even the worst money ive ever spent.

There must be some more out there who bought Demons Souls?

Crackdown 2... just urgh

 

[cheatking]

95% of my steam library. For 2 reasons, 1) Some are super cheep so you think why not. 2) nostalgia. Yes i loved the first GTA, i should buy it *3 mins passes* dam this game is lame.

 

[RoyalWelsh]

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?

Lol, yeah exactly, it also never recognised my accent making the headset completely useless in every single way.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Mass Effect... twice. I just didn't like it.

 

[Aphex Demon]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Oh no he di'n't! INCOMING SHITSTORM DETECTED

Actually, I agree with the guy
Bioshock may as well have been the Ark of the fucking Covenant for all the hype it got
Shame it was just another bland FPS but with some bigger enemies

Anyway, games I regret buying
Colin McRae Dirt 2.
What a fucking way to piss all over the mans legacy. Travis Pastrana can go fuck himself. McRae would be turning in his grave if he found out the cars were being called "rides" and constant use of the words "stoked" and "gnarly" *shudders*
Colin McRae games stopped being good around 5 years ago

I disagree with the Bioshock thingy, I thought that game was awesome.

As for DiRT 2, I couldnt agree more, Colin Mcrae was a legend, travis can f*ck off.
Where the hell are our rally stages? BUGGY'S GTFO.

I miss the actual Colin Mcrae games from back in the day.

 

[Woodsey]

Either...

Half Life 2 (bought with the Orange Box, waste of money because the main event was a disappointment).

HL2 was 3-years-old by that point and packed in with 3 brand new games and Episode 1; not really seeing how it was the main event.

 

[Sara Fontaine]

Infinite Undiscovery. I don't even...

 

[jbchillin]

turok. that was the worst

 

[Not Lord Atkin]

Rainbow Six vegas 2 on PC.
The game could've been great but the port was terrible in just about every concievable way. Graphics were downgraded even compared to consoles, multiplayer didn't work, controll scheme was weird and it pains me to think that I could've picked up the PS3 version which was just 5? more expensive or a completely different game for the same price.

 

[thenumberthirteen]

Star Trek: Online. God damn it. I paid £40 for that pile of crap. Good thing I got bored early and didn't pay the subscription charge.

I'll stick to Bridge Commander thank you very much. A far better game that actually feels like flying a ship.

 

[Autofaux]

Darkwatch.. wait no, that sex scene was totally worth NOT IT WASNT.
Dead Space. Bayonetta. Resistance 2.

 

[Lionsfan]

The Saboteur.

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Haha, good one... Now seriously take that the fuck back right the fuck now.

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

YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW!!!!

I'm just kidding, I understand why you wouldn't like it. [sub][sub][sub][sub]it's because your a nazi commie zombie loser isn't it?[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

OT: I've got a whole laundry list of these things, from Eragon to The Saboteur. Nestled in between is Call of Duty 3, Burnout: Paradise, Two Worlds (WHY GOD WHY!!!) and a whole bunch of other garbage

 

[Famine0]

Dead Rising (the first one)
That game made me rage all the time

 

[thiosk]

Elemental war of magic was a huge letdown, but I'll buy stardock titles just to keep them in new shoes

 

[Quid Plura]

Eat Lead: The return of Matt Hazard (although I payed 1 Euro for it, but I could also have bought a Vietnamese eggroll with it, which tastes better)

 

[Canid117]

The first Dynasty warriors Gundam. That was a bad idea.

 

[WorldCritic]

Star Wars Dark Forces, it wasn't that bad, but I still prefer Doom.
Also NiGHTS into Dreams, mostly because I never played it.

 

[Kere]

Crimson Tears...Kind of pretty to look at but just plain awful in the end.

 

[interspark]

dunno about games, but it was a greivous error when i purchased the Pokemon HG/SS strategy guide, the writers didn't know SQUAT about the game and had clearly got their information by grabbing people off the streets and asking them! not only does it only cover the johto half of the game, almost all the information is wrong somehow, according to this, to get pokemon such as suicune and the gen 1 starters, i'd have to trade them in from Diamond Pearl or Platinum. also, you know how good guides have very detailed info on the pokemon in the first half of the game and less detailed info on the ones you get after the elite 4? well this one has sketchy detail on the first group and not a word on any others, rant over.

theres 8 pounds i could have given to a homeless person, or bought my cats some treats with, or got my sister a cheap birthday present, or bought some luch at subway, or...... (etc)
