Games you wish you hadn't spent the money on

[Wodan]

Spore... I rue the day I wasted money on that steaming pile of over-hyped monkey spunk.

I hate that game so much that I have a new rule. Peter molenaux games will forever be banned from my household. Until I see the game's review from a reputable source I will never buy a game from him from now on.

Diablo 2 - For some reason, I had a strange urge to replay it, so I bought it. I used to love it, but I hated how the game relies completely on farming for items, and also how combat is so random-chance-dependant.

X-Men Legends, X-Men Legends 2, and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance: I actually liked the first 2 games when I bought them, and I beat them several times. But then somewhere along the way, my standards for games rose.

This review sums up just about everything I hate about the series. And yes, I did think that they would improve the combat system and get rid of the glitches with each sequel. At least I learned from my mistakes and avoided Ultimate Alliance 2.

Blood Omen 2. This game also has a horrible combat system. Its one redeeming feature is the novelty of hitting enemies in the crotch with a spiked club.

World of Warcraft. Not for the fact it's bad; quite the opposite. It's good.. Even when its dog crap boring you cant get off it. Im not addicted to it or anything, but I always end up renewing my membership... So really, not only is it a game I wish I hadnt bought, it's a game I wish I didnt keep buying.

Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games

Ditto.

Anybody remember that Bionicle game for Gamecube? I paid full price for that.

Never again.

I remember that one. that was horrible

 

[The White Light]

Borderlands, Aliens vs. Predator

 

[Infinatex]

Halo ODST < < < got hyped up by my mates soooo much that I bought an Xbox just to see how awesome it was.... arcady piece of shit.

Also Haze, Condemned 2, NFS: Underground, GTA IV (online would never save progress), Devil May Cry 4... there is a lot of crap out there

 

[MalevolentJim]

AssCreed 2.
It was just a rental.An extremely good rental,but a rental nonetheless.

 

[Jnat]

Spore, Gta 4, Fable 2-GOTY edition

 

[Tairan]

Hard To Be A God i know i never heard of it too but my freind recomended it and it looked kind of cool but the truth is that nothing cool happens untill like the end of the game.

 

[WoUlD_yOu_KiNdLy]

has to be STALKER:Clear Sky. Shadow of Chernobyl was an excellent game. one of the best fps ive ever played. but the shear amount of bugs in the game meant any amount was a waste of money.

 

[Nebr66]

Damnation, and I didn't even spend that much money on it.

 

[Heathrow]

ever consider maybe you're just cheap?


For me, Army of Two the 40th day. What a piece of SHIT.. I blame my brother because he talks me into buying games like that to play co-op with him. I want to knock his teeth out with a monkey wrench

I will gladly pay full price for any game that's worth it, so, no not cheap. Bioshock 2 was just that disappointing.

 

[Mr. Gency]

Fatass Princess. It was fun, but barely anyone plays it and I end up playing with bots online or off. If you have a PS3 just download the demo, you'll have more fun.

mirrors edge
phsyconauts

im lucky enough to have bought few a bad games so far but those 2 i cant justify the amount i spent on them i just dont play them enough

and stalker i just didnt like it as much as i thought i would

I hate mirrors edge cause it lags like fuck on the second level

oh thats because there is a problem with phys-x on some GPU's just turn it off and its fine

That makes sense. Since I have Mirror's Edge on the PS3 and don't remember any lag.

GRAH!!!!

The more you mention games like these, the harder it is to forget about their existence.

 

[XMark]

I got Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom back when it was full price. Man, what a ripoff.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Left 4 dead. 60 bucks for 4-5 hours of game.

 

[presidentjlh]

The Iron man game based on the movie. Yeah, it came bundled with my PS3, but still... the game is just boring.

I found the controls in that game to be just completely awful.

 

[Matt Rudland-Barfoot]

Here is the list
Bioshock
Assassins Creed
Gothic 2
Halo
Warhammer DOW2
Grand Theft Auto 4
Half Life Blue Shift

Say what!!!!!

i don't care for the others but Bioshock, assasins creed and GTA IV are good i think you should reconsider

Assassins creed was alot of me jumping around not feeling enthused about fighting.
Bioshock I beat but was just too uninteresting to me.
GTA IV just seemed like more of me driving around running ppl over and jumping cars off of things.
I just have trouble playing some single player games for some reason.

Ye i see your point you have to be in the right mood to play the games i got bored after a while of Assassins c. and Bioshock is only good if in the mood but GTA IV story isnaf but the online is ok
