Purchases you instantly regretted.

[Eponet]

DragonQuest Sword... I was like "hey sweet, I need an rpg for my Wii, and I've never minded the DQ series, even though they have never been my favourite (too big of a FF fan to give DQ a chance even after the Square/Enix merger)."

1hr in... "Oh, this game is kind of fun"

6hrs in... "Oh wow, It really seems like I'm getting to the climax of the story"

8hrs in... "Wait.... that's the end? You mean to tell me the story was only 8hrs long? What a waste of money"


Dunno how you FPS fans can deal with a short story. I guess the Multiplayer usually makes up for that.

That doesn't really sound like instant regret, more like 8 hour in regret.

 

[ljackstar]

Halo 1,2,3 Wars, ODST,and Reach. They are just shit games
and the publishers club was a waste of money too. TAKE THAT ESCAPIST

Ninja Giaden 2, I.. just cant recall those first 2 hours then all of a sudden I noticed that the game was purposely fucking with me and I tried playing for another half hour but then BAM! Pwned Yeah never gonna buy those games again.

 

[agentironman]

Naughty Bear. 'nuff said.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

My ex, rectified that by leaving her on my b-day. Only good thing is she was free, but the ball pain was costly.

 

[Acaroid]

A recent one: Front Mission Evolved -_-'

I feel your pain. I am a BIG front mission fan, but this game didn't even come close to being good.

 

[Zarthek]

L4D and L4D2, only noticed AFTER I bought them on steam that they don't support my video card.


At least I got a frying pan in TF2 because of it (At least I think that's where the thing came from...)

 

[jakefongloo]

Ghostbusters *sigh* =(

 

[Daedalus1942]

A recent one: Front Mission Evolved -_-'

I knew that would be crap, as soon as they removed the turn based strategy rpg aspect of the previous games.
Would it have been so hard to keep the original gameplay style and the current graphics and not just try to rip off armoured core? >.<

 

[Taddy]

Burnout: Paradise City.

 

[Naheal]

Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Diablo and Diablo II come to mind. Horribly boring games.

No, they were actually really boring. The gameplay itself. Mass effect and DA:O had wonderful storylines (from what I've heard), but the gameplay, although good, was just far too repetitive in DA:O's case, and just not satisfying in Mass Effect's.

I found that the PC version of DA:O was much better than the console version. I'm a tactics freak, though.

Section 8; I got in on clearance for 6 bucks, and between the obnoxiously buggy install, lackluster gameplay, and aggressively short playtime, I suddenly realized the 6 bucks I payed for Saints Row II was infinitely more well-spent. At least in that one I could get to a high place and jump off, which is more than I can say for a game full of space marines with jet packs.

Mass Effect.

Boring. Just so boring. Couldn't bring myself to play beyond the first level.

Mass Effect, Dragon Age: Origins, Diablo and Diablo II come to mind. Horribly boring games.

Oh Thank God...

I bought the 360 version of Mass Effect on a whim. I figured that since everyone seems to consider it the greatest game ever released in terms of interactive storytelling, it couldn't be that bad (a lesson I apparently failed to learn from Fallout 3). I've played through the first Chapter, and I'm completely unimpressed. The menu's are really unintuitive, the combat is boring and repetitive, there are some really bad technical problems, the human models are just down right ugly, and the conversation system is really shallow.

I really don't see what all the hype is about...

You bought the game on 360.
i played it first on pc and loved it. a year later out of curiousity I then bought it for cheap on 360. I hated it. mass effect on the 360 really is a glitchy clusterfuck mess of epic proportions. The PC version is always superiour.
Don't believe me? Hmm... Fable, Halo, Half-life 2, Knights of the old republic, Jade Empire, Dragon age, etc... see?

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

Zombieland. Loved the movie, but I didn't need it on DVD. Same goes for Basilisk.

 

[dillirgaf]

Fallout: New Vegas, CoDMW:2

 

[Shoggoth2588]

Borderlands!

I rented it and thought it was pretty fun...then I bought it, popped it in the PS3 and face-palmed...It isn't a bad game...it's just...lacking.

 

[Maylo]

Fable II... I felt obligated to play it since Fable III was coming out soon, yet it's collecting dust at this very moment. I didn't even get that New Game Feeling after buying it.

What was even worse was that this was just before it was free for a while on Xbox Live dammit.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Medal of Honor a couple weeks ago. Terrible purchase

Yeah I somewhat agree. I haven't played that game in at least two weeks.

 

[Arkzism]

bought my psp.. one week later they dropped the price..

 

[Kajt]

-snip-

I bought them at the same time. They were bloody cheap and I had heard lots of praise for them, so I thought it would be worth it.

-snip-

I enjoyed Borderlands and the Fallout games.
