Games you regret buying

[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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

 

[Zanaxal]

Half-Life 2 if it didn't include css it would have been a full waste.

Two Worlds, Worst voiceacting, worst kind of ORPG that i hate. WORST VOICEACTING. Grind you silly game with no point.

 

[A Raging Emo]

Dragon Age: Origins.

I'm not saying that it was a bad game, I can recognise that it was relatively good, I just didn't enjoy it, myself.

 

[mParadox]

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

I can relate to that. The first was unbelievable with a unique setting and story. But the second had nothing which could make it a good sequel apart from the improved hacking mind you. that was good.

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.

13. rage

14. Next day - SOLD.

Maybe even the worst money ive ever spent.

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

Bought it. Love it.

OT: probably MW2. I don't buy many games that I regret, simply because I research before shelling for it. But MW2 gets the prize simply because I don't give a toss about multiplayer, and the campaign was definitelly not worth 70 Euro.

Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe

I have it hidden in the closet so that noboddy sees it as part of my collection

 

[Dragonforce525]

Spiderman 3, I've never hated anything as much as I hate that fucking game.

 

[Imp Poster]

mercenaries 2. I felt like I was playing Joe's apartment, it had so many bugs.

edit: PS3 version.

Seriously, it was like extremely short lived chewing gum.
