Games you regret buying

[John Horn]

Supreme Commander 2. A total betrayal of those who were avid TA and SC1/FA fans. Pandering to the morons who can't handle proper economics. Even the maps got more dumbed down (less vast maps, more corridor-based maps like in classic RTS). And I blame Steve Bauman for writing scripts like a 10 year old.

Bioshock 2 was "meh" (Bioshock 1 was pretty good).

Alien vs Predator (the new reset) was also "meh."

.. there are probably more, but none in my mind atm.

Fable 2, Oblivion and [activates fanboy shield] FFVII. Hated all of them, finished two of them (not Oblivion.) At least FFVII didn't give up at the end and have a ridiculous final boss though. Safe to say I shan't be purchasing Fable 3.

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

Pretty much this. I'm hoping that the game will get better the more they update it, but it really shouldn't have been that messed up at launch.

Manhunter, got in a pack from steam, but it still makes me feel dirty that I own that pile of crap murder porn simulator. Also agree on DW: Gundam, that game was so so bad. Hove to disagree with two worlds though, its terrible from pretty much ever perspective but for some unknown reason I find it really really fun. Like a Big Mac.

 

[Dr. Feelgood]

Red Faction: Guerilla. I loved to destroy things. Then I played multiplayer. Kept getting hit with sledgehammers. Sad face.

 

[DonMartin]

Assassin's Creed.

Just didnt like it.

Borrowed the sequel.

HOLY CRAP THAT ONE WAS GOOD.

 

[Kenko]

Mafia 2 : It was okay but it didnt do anything new, the first one was way superior.
Star Trek Online: For obvious resons.
Lost Planet 2: Also okay, but mindnumbingly stupid.
The newest Aliens Vs Predator: For being one of the shittier games in that series.

Plenty of other games ive regretted buying, but these are the more recent, more or less.

 

[Akihiko]

Halo 3 Legendary Edition. Enjoyed 1 and 2, and so naturally I thought 3 was going to be just as awesome. How wrong I was... Not a bad game by all means, just wasn't for me. Definitely not worth £70.

 

[ShadowTale]

Dragon Age Orgins. I bought it preorder. figured i'd atleast get some good mass effect 2 armor, but as it turns out the stupid armor wasn't even remotely worth it, it was WORSE than having generic ingame armor. Huge disapointment and I will not be preordering any Bioware games anymore.

but as for DA:O. I am the most unlucky person in the world. I played the game 3 times in a row, not because I wanted to but because the game would glitch and I'd have to go back to a previous really really old save. I still haven't beaten the game because I've hit so many glitches that make it unable to continue in the story, screw that game.

 

[Grabnaur]

Magna Carta: Tears of blood for the ps2. Don't let the cute girls with big tits on the cover fool you, It's not a fun rpg. Also the MC of the game looks and dresses like a girl! Atlus why did you betray me!

 

[Ithera]

Sacred 2. Normally I'm very lenient and forgiving, but G*d almighty what a rank piece of S*\t that was.

I could list it's faults and hand you a rundown of it's terrible game play, but I fear I would be here forever.

 

[kintaris]

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.

When I started reading this thread I hadn't even THOUGHT of my Steam purchases... man, I've bought some cheap shit off there.

Top of the list, the revamped cel-shaded Prince of Persia. Not only was it just terrible, but one of the most idiotic, mind-numbingly retarded endings in the history of not only videogames but storytelling since the dawn of mankind. I'd pay to meet the guy who came up with that.

 

[baka52]

brutal legend i liked the beat em up stlye begining and the car segments but the RTS segements just became boring after the first two and i just gave up should have stuck with the beat em up

 

[luckycharms8282]

Halo 3, Prototype, and Gears 2...I regret spending money o these atrocities (Im sure this statement will piss off fanboys of gears and halo, despite it totally being my opinion)

 

[kintaris]

Safe to say I shan't be purchasing Fable 3.

I seriously disliked Fable II (can't post it as my worst spend, because, well, I didn't exactly pay for it), and yet find myself oddly drawn to buying Fable III. I'm trying to resist. I think it must be that Molyneux has excellent concepts and accompanying excellent concept art - just can't turn it into a good game these days.

 

[JoJo]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

You're trolling, right? RIGHT???

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Assassin's Creed 2 (which was even stupider since I only bought it because it was on sale after not even liking the first), Zombie Driver, Mass Effect, Dragon Age (sorry BioWare, your boring bland games aren't for me).

 

[Yureina]

Knights of the Old Republic.

It does not work.

 

[Orthon]

Spore, goddamnit. Bought that game, even pre-ordered it, so I got a t-shirt with something "witty" printed on it. In this case, it was a small one-cellular organism or some-such with a speech bubble saying "Composed of Matter, Anti-Matter and It doesn't Matter!".When I booted up the game however, I realized that it was total crap. And it also had DRM. So I guess it was pretty much non-refundable.

I try not to think of that badly thought-out purchase much, out of fear that I'll go bananas and rip that fucking t-shirt asunder.

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (for DS), I bought it knowing nothing about the series, I just couldn't stand the combat, the camera angles or the saving system.
