Play that game with the southpaw stick options and you will understand why I hated Gears of War. It's all but impossible to move Marcus with the right analog stick and hold down the A button....conqueror Kenny said:
Games you wish you HADN'T bought...

- Start date
Oh, so many...
PRINCE OF PERSIA: WARRIOR WITHIN - After loving Sands of Time, I immediately bought the sequel. The hardcore metal music during the combat, a terribly confusing map and the destruction of the Prince as a character turned the game into turd within two hours of playtime. And, as Yahtzee brilliantly said, the Prince apparently let his mom cut his hair. "Emo Within" indeed.
NEVERWINTER NIGHTS 2 - My first attempt at playing a game of the series. But the annoying D&D based gameplay and the hideous turn-based combat destroyed the game for me. Not to mention the engine needed to be optimized.
MEDAL OF HONOR: AIRBORNE - It's still the first game, but now with thirty seconds of parachuting in the beggining of each mission, and now you can choose what objectives to do first. "See, it's not linear anymore!", EA Games says with a smile. Linear or not, dear EA, destroying AA guns has already gotten old.
FLIGHT SIMULATOR X - It's only fun with all the options in the max and high resolution. You see the problem right there.
SWAT 4 - Simply giving me a bunch of maps to kill perpetrators in is not enough, Sierra. An actual story would have been nice.

well im sure im just being arrogant but why not just change the controls then?shadow skill said:
None, really. I don't buy a lot of games, so I'm really picky when I do get one.
The closest I guess would be Dawn of War: Winter Assault, as I couldn't endure the single-player campaign past the third or fourth mission. Still, I enjoyed the skermish/multiplayer play in it enough that I never considered selling the game or trading it in.

Conqueror Kenny: Well my aiming is shit with my right thumb so the default controls wouldn't help me; and Legacy has its own problems which has something to do with reverting to the default stick controls under a certain condition. (Go check Epic's boards to find out what the problem is.) Those fools at Epic who made that game decided it was a good idea to not include an option to remap the face buttons into a useable configuration basically making the game nigh unplayable for anyone who did not use the default controls.
Master of Orion 3 was a total turd. I only paid 6 bucks for it at Big Lots on a whim (having been a HUGE fan of the first two) and I still was pissed off.
Microsoft's Shadowrun - Let me get this straight, I am a HUGE geeky fan boy of this setting. Table top, novels. . . I love it. This. Game. Pissed. Me. Off. So. Damn. Much.
And finally, Elder Scrolls: Daggerfall. Don't get me wrong, good game. Awe inspiring in scope for it's time. I nearly failed 4 classes in one semester at college because of it. Think of a $40 game nearly costing you almost $900 in books and tuition. Yeah, I regret that one.

Gears of War for me. I found the controls to be stiff, the AI to be brain-dead, and overall wished after purchasing it that I had gotten the GTA Trilogy instead.
Perfect Dark Zero
Bloodrayne
Starwars starfighter II (or something like that)
Mario Party 4 (which I got free)

Hmmm, you use the southpaw options? I'm a lefty too, but find that the so called left handed (i.e. Southpaw - god knows why they think anyone would know what that is outside of the USA. Saw it on wikipedia) just don't help on any console - after all, the buttons remain on the same side for the righties guardless, so you can't really use the natural thumb for it.shadow skill said:
Pokemon Battle Revolution- The only entertainment value of that game is seeing the best attacks in 3D form. Hyper Beam looks fantastic, but it is without a doubt THE worst Pokemon game ever.
Recent ; SSBB (pac-man has better connection between joystick and console)
Past ; Soul Calibur 3 (I just keep playing SC2)
Back When ; mischef makers (bargain bin n64 and still not worth it)
In a galaxy ...long ago; Street Fighter 2 for the PC (old 286 days- why keyboard desn't work for fighters)
So long ago it hurts to admit it ; ET on the Atari 2600
I can't remember the intelevision ones I regretted but that is just senility
