Games you regret buying

Mind if I ask what you didn't like about it, and also when you bought it? That is, recently or back in 2000 when it came out? It's not the best game in the worl by any means: the base-building Mech levels are damn hard without cheating, some of Delphi's levels are confusing or annoying (damn jet-ski racing), and Kabuto was often too hard to play as. But the game was funny and had a lot of good levels I thought. In the day the graphics were also better than almost anything else (bar Sacrifice) and the sound was great too. Don't remember much hype about it, although maybe you mean forum hype, as it's usually well-remembered.migo said:
OT: I buy games when cheap so I don't really regret many. I picked up Chrome on Steam for 70p and couldn't play it due to suckage (I have Chrome: Specforce waiting for me too). I guess Republic Commando is one I regret, as I just didn't like the gameplay (apart from the squad mechanics, which were great). I also bought FarCry back in 2005 and regretted it as soon as those fucking mutants appeared. Way to kill a fun game, asshats.
X-Men: The Next Dimension. Bad music, bad game mechanics, cost me way too much. If I could take back just one purchase in my life, I'd make it that one.
Dammit! beat me to it, was going to say ODST. That game was such a humungous letdown.TomLikesGuitar said:
I just could not get into that game. The AI just killed it, they would chase you relentlessly and spot you from ten miles away. Plus they took about a million bullets to kill. In fact, the whole game was a massive dissapointment.MetalDooley said:
I got my PSP at a yard sale for $10 so I don't regret that.sjame83 said:
I never really regret buy any games, Except the $90 collectors edition of GTA 4
but aside from that their are some I wish I had paid less for just becasue I don't they are worth the full $50-$60 like House of the Dead Overkill,MW2,Any Rock Band or Guitar Hero game
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. That game does not work on the wii. My gamecube controller just cant keep up. Ill probably buy Blazblue for my PS3 soon though, thats apparently good
Modern Warfare 2 (Bad Company) .... the game was thorougly dissapointing.
While the graphics were as good as everything else current gen, the story bored me, and the gameplay was resoundingly "Meh"

Singularity: How can you fuck up a single shooter so much guys?
Section 8... how can you fuck up a concept like this?
Gothic 3: It took me five years to get the game to fucking work. How'd I get it to work, you ask? By buying a separate copy off of Steam. Steam will run it fine, but my retail version? Same game, same system, and the frame rate will be around ~1-2 FPS.
Dragon Age: Awakening: God, if I wanted to grind endlessly I would have kept my AoC subscription.
I don't regret getting Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising, but I also haven't gotten around to trying to play it.

Almost every game that isn't Heroes of Newerth.
Well, I might not regret it, as much as contemplating whether I should have saved money instead of buying a title I will play for three-four hours tops.
However short time I spent on Darksiders, it's a title I am proud of owning. One of the most underrated (of AAA titles that is) games I have played. At least some aspects.

All Points Bulletin, Halo 3, ARMA 2, Lost : Via Domus, Gears of War, Gears of war 2 and many more.
Modern Warfare 2. The game is bloody atrocious. The Single Player is criminally easy even on veteran. It's about 6/7 hours long including the cutscenes and the story is bat-shit crazy.
Such a shame really, CoD4 was brilliant.

MW2 even if it was so I can say it's bad and I have played it
COD5 disappointment all round there
Metro 2033 Loved the game but I feel it was too short.
Timeshift I want 4 or whatever hours back that it took to finish
Spore Damn friends saying I should
I will finsh there. I have many games that I think were a wate of money.

Sadly this is proving true for me as well. Thankfully the map editor is more entertaining and I did enjoy the single player part.Amphoteric said:
As for something I do regret getting: I have to reach way back to "Star Trek The Next Generation: "A final Unity" mostly due the fact that it bugged up early and often and was unplayable. I never forgave Spectrum Holobyte for that. Thankfully that company is long dead.
Not me, I got it as a gift from someone who I know bought it for less than half the initial market price (the price it should have been at).TomLikesGuitar said:

As for me, I regret:
Fallout 3: Don't flame me, I just didn't like it. I could tell it would definitely be a good game to some people, but to me, I just couldn't love it.
Bayonetta: This was actually a fun game (and it got me to laugh at points when it just abandoned all realism all together and decided to make the most over the top action sequences around) but I could never play it again without feeling embarassed.
Darksiders: This just barely made the list. I loved the art style of the world, and the game itself shows a lot of promise, even if it is a collage of other games (some collages are great, precisely because they take all those different elements that shouldn't work together to make a coherent picture). I'm both grateful and a bit betrayed at the "To Be Continued" ending, as it means there's a chance the series can get better, but the standard TBC problems accompany it. The reason I regret it though, is that it has almost no replay value.
Dead Space: FUCK YOU, ASTEROIDS!
Grand Theft Auto 4: Mistake made: Playing it after beating Saint's Row 2.
And these are just some of the current generation games I regret. There have been a whole lot more on the PS1&2 that have made me regret them.
