Games you regret buying

[SideburnsPuppy]

Dawn of Mana. Stupid leveling system. It was nigh impossible to actually gain EXP in the first place (you need to throw objects at enemies in an incredibly broken physics system to actually progress your character), but you reset to level one at the start of the next chapter.

Metro 2033, Halo 3 (Reach and ODST were AMAZING!!! Halo 3 was horrible), some aspects of Fable II made me hate it, others didn't, and Portal for the PC.

 

[gally912]

End War
Far Cry 2
SupCom 2
PC Version of Bully
Dark Sector

 

[SeventhNight]

Devil May Cry 2 and 3, almost everything in my PSP library, and Tales of Vesperia.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

Okay, I loved the first 3 games. 1 and 2 were a lot of fun, and 2 fixed problems that 1 had. KH Chain of Memories on the GBA was a pain in the ass, but then I got it for the PS2 and finished Sora's story. That game was a bit repetitive to play, but it's the only game that ever made me change my mind about a main character like that; I used to hate Riku, even after he went good again, but seeing the crap he had to go through ALONE made me respect him.
And then this one just ruined the whole thing. They fanfic'ed themselves with a fourteenth Organization XIII member (friggin stupid) who was boring as hell and for SOME REASON ALSO HAS A KEYBLADE. None of the characters were interesting. The gameplay was horrendous. You do the same 3 mini-games over and over again. The story had no point. UGH. PONG IS MORE EXCITING THAN THIS GAME IS. AGH.
AND WHERE THE HELL IS KH3 WHY HASN'T IT COME OUT YET AGH.

Chrome hounds. Hear me out: I bought that game in May of this year. So there was nothing to play other than the long and tedious single player mode.

Overlord II for the pc, it's the first game that made me rage quit a game (and i pug a lot in WoW). I really tried my best to like it (it being made by dutch people and all) but a man can only take so much crappy controls before snapping.

 

[radioactive lemur]

I paid $10 for Dark Sector and it was still too much.

 

[SuperSuperSuperGuy]

Modern Warfare 2 and, especially, SoulCalibur Legends.

Monster Hunter Tri is on my list; I thought that I'd like it, but, really, it takes way to long to do stuff in it.

Oh, Guitar Hero: World Tour, also. I REALLY regret that... *Sniff*

Anyways, I don't ever regret buying any game that I enjoy playing for a while, play for at least 10 hours, got for cheap, or got as a gift, and the rest of the sub-par games in my collection fit this criteria.

 

[crazypsyko666]

SPOOOOOOORE.

I HATE YOU EA. YOU'RE THE WORST PEOPLE EVER. YOU TOOK A BRILLIANT SCIENCE BASED GAME WHICH COULD HAVE REVOLUTIONIZED THE WAY WE SEE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST AND TURNED IT INTO AN AWFUL, STUPID KIDDIE GAME.

I HATE YOU.

 

[mad-brad-123]

probabley naughty bear funny 4 a grand total of 1 min then is gets retarded y did i buy it

 

[Vault Citizen]

I don't think there is such a game, sometimes I've gotten less enjoyment out of a game but in those cases I just learn from it.

 

[PoorCollegeLad]

Borderlands.

 

[Overlordjack]

borderlands. 40$ down the drain.

 

[inFAMOUSCowZ]

Bioshock, it was not worth $5.

Yeah! I agree! It was worth $55!

Don't be a smart ass, I'm not in the mood.

im in the mood.....To buy Bioshock for 100$ ( i love that game)

OT: There are few games i regret buying since i only buy what ill enjoy. Or wait till the game is around 10$ to pick up. But I'd have to say MW2

 

[Roger Steven]

Imo there is not one single aspect of bioshock that is anything less than brilliant...

 

[Celador]

Champions Online (got nerfed way too often) - 50$

Dawn of Discovery and Venice (bug ridden and boring) - 75$

Defense Grid (just boring) - 10$

Galcon Fusion (i don't even know why i bought it -_-) - 10$

Killing Floor (so atrocious that i couldn't even play 10 minutes without vomiting) - 15$

Mayhem Intergalactic (no one else is playing it... literally) - 10$

R.U.S.E. (shoddy acting, bugs, pathetic storyline) - 18$ (regional jewel, its cheaper than steam version)

Unreal Tournament 3 (don't understand, nor like it) - 10$

Democracy 2 (bored after 1 hour) - 20$

Assassins Creed 2 / Settlers 7 / Splinter Cell: Conviction (boring, boring and bug ridden, boring and abandoned by UBI) - 54$ for all 3 of them or 18$ each

Hammerfight (bug ridden, weird and ultimately - boring) - 10$

Stupid mistakes, lack of demos and misleading infos :/

This is nothing though, compared to some real $#%& that i bought and regret to this day:

Demigod (unplayable multiplayer, bug ridden, lack of campaign, beyond boring) - 60$

Battleforge (lots of cheaters) - 30$

Age of Conan (nerfed my character and turned out to be huge disappointment overall) - 100$

Guild Wars (no idea why, but i stopped playing two days after the purchase) - 25$

[drum beat]

Everquest 2 (wasted years, wasted money and nerves) - 1000-2000$+

EQ2 was both my first MMO and first multiplayer game, it was also the first time when i had to use credit card to pay for something over the internet. Without eq2 i would not have learned about Steam (or learned significantly later) and i would not have tried other multiplayer games either.

/sigh

Just remembered:

Conquest! Medieval Realms - 30$ Again - no idea why i bought it. Lacks proper multiplayer, boring as a result.

 

[ltbigjohn]

too human was not even worth the 3 dollars i paid as virgin mega store was closing...nuf said

 

[Thamux]

Turok, god what an awful game

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Operation Flashpoint - Dragon Rising.

Same thing here.
