My only regretted purchase that I can think of is "Uru: Complete Chronicles", because the online version was released for free soon after.
But then again, "Complete Chronicles" had a couple special bits in it that aren't in the online game, so at least there's something unique in it.

Kettle calling the pot black, eh? Borderlands is the greatest loot-based game and one of my favorite FPS games of all time. I'm even pre-ordering the ultimate loot chest, and I find little chance of being disappointed.Easton Dark said:
That said, I may be in a small minority, but I seriously regret pre-ordering Modern Warfare 3 and for purchasing Prince of Persia (2008) and Fable 3.
I've similarly learned to not pre-order games without at least seeing a preview of the gameplay.
Easy answer: Metroid: Other M... thank god I traded that back in, so at least it didn't cost me my money... just my time and respect for the franchise. Metroid was one series that I would purchase without waiting for a review. Learned that lesson didn't I?
Slightly more interesting answer: Multitudes of steam games. Most of the games I got through steam are good and were cheap, but I have a great many to play through still. Something about 5 dollar games that turns off my "you shouldn't buy this yet" part of my brain.

Clunky interface, fuzzy graphics*, no settings to control mouse sensitivity. Tutorial was unhelpful. Basically, the game was not fun, it was a chore to get anything done.cryogeist said:
*probably hardware issue on my end, but I'm not buying a new computer.
Do I really have to explain my disdain towards FFXIII?
Suffice it to say, that is the one game I cannot get a quarter through, let alone finish.

Memory foam bed, generic Temperpedic. It was too d**m soft. After a year I switch to a Sealy & my back pains reduced greatly. Money wasted = about $800.
Another is an actual wallet-guzzling Temperpedic bed; that thing was hard as s**t. We got it for my gran'ma. After a week she stopped using it & started sleeping in her recliner. Money wasted = over $1000.
Lastly, there was that Sallie Mae loan.....

Mass Effect 2
Fallout 3
Army of 2: The 40th day
Bad rpgs followed by a completely uninteresting shooter. These are all games I've returned btw.
Oh, and CoD:MW2. It's the only CoD game I've ever bought and It sucks. Like it REALLY sucks. I can't return it because I got it used, which also sucks.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. It took all the crafted game play and story built from Ace Combat 1 through 6 and completely dumped it. Now it's all so generic with bland unlikable characters in an generic middle-east setting involving Russians and WMDs. It's the Call of Duty of flight simulators. It makes me cry when I realized I wasted $60 on it.
This. But wait, I got stupider! I'm one of the suckers who bought the sequel thinking, surely it can't be as bad as the first one... Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice - well, I'm a sucker.Dashiva said:
Don't worry - I nearly bought it too, since, despite 13's abysmal everything, I love FF muchly. I was prepped to purchase 13-2 on the basis that a number of my friends played it and said it was superior in every way. Then I played a few hours on a friend's console.Erja_Perttu said:
Those "friend" recommenders? Yeah, they're all dead now. For lying.
Dynasty Warriors 7. Everything got shrunk for some strange reason and made things very difficult to see. Even the subtitles hurt my eyes trying to read them, they were that small. But that was nothing compared to co-op mode where
1. Couldn't be done in story mode
2. Was shrunk so badly we had to stop after like 2 or 3 stages just because our eyes couldn't take it anymore.
And no there was no way to fix that problem. Happy I got it on a Black Friday sale so I didn't pay full price for it but still very sad that a franchise I stuck with for so long can create something this crappy.

I suppose my recent one was Diablo 3 despite I did had fun with the game at the start. My sole reason to buying that game was to co-op with my mate but so far he hasn't bought it despite being a huge fan. His reason is due to being very busy with work (I take it he doesn't have self control).
While I did enjoyed the game at the start but I can lived without knowing what it was like playing it if I didn't bought it in the first place.

I bought InFamous 2 Ultimate Edition from PSN only to have Sony turn around and give it away for free the following week.
Not to mention the countless other games I bought from PSN only to have them go free later on... just InFamous 2 is the most prominent example because it was for money one week and free the very next... almost like they planned it *sigh*
Moral of the story: Do not buy anything from PSN if you subscribe to PS+

I feel for you on Brink, I was a big fan of SD after their previous titles, Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, and Quake Wars Enemy Terrtitory turned out great, but they really screwed up Brink, especially on the PC. There was literally no support for servers or admin control or anything, was big shame really because the game had promise.Euphbug said:
As for what else I regret buying? Farcry 2, the best thing about it are the flame effects and that's it, other than that all you do is drive around from one side of the map to the other and get attacked by crazy people in jeeps, and that's the game summed up.
