Well, seeing how I only buy about 3 games a year, I usually am already convinced on if I'd like it or not.

That said, the worst game that I've ever bought was Fable 3. It was such a giant step back from the previous one that it was literally depressing to play.

So many broken promises and such a damn boring game
Ya, I don't but many games each year either, maybe averaging about 3-6 a year depending on exclusives. Like hell if you count only 2011 I bought Killzone 3 and AC: Brotherhood and will probably pick up resistance 3, skyrim, and the new assassin's creed eventually maybe around Christmas. That being said, the worst purchase I think I ever made was probably Modern Warfare 3. So much hype that the ridiculously short campaign and broken multiplayer could never live up too.

Modern Warfare 2. Not a bad $60 game if you had multiplayer, which I didn't. It didn't help that I got the Super duper collector edition for $150+. Not worst game, but worst waste of money.

GTAIV. Bought it for $30 a couple years back thinking it was a bargain, only to spend hours going through the Games for Windows Live bullshit AND THEN find out the game won't run properly.
I managed to get mine running. I will agree, the Windows Live thing is a totally redundant feature for GTA4 to be running with, but once I got it running, I found the game pretty damn engrossing. Why isn't the game running properly? what's the difference between your not-working copy of GTA4 and my working copy?
My computer is just too old and crappy for it. Sadly I've yet to learn my lesson: I still have Portal 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum and both Mass Effects (just to name a few) sitting in my Steam Library waiting for a better computer.

Recently? Crysis 2...$60 for a game I played for about an hour. Everything about it was mediocre. Best part was that I bought it new so I couldn't return it.

DNF or an earlier Duke game?
What do you think? But yes, DNF.
I thought you probably mean DNF but there are some pretentious CoD fanboys who blame DNF's failure on being it "archaic", while fawning over a game with ONE enemy type (and don't give me that "one species of human" bullshit, they could easily put more accurate and intelligent humans in fewer numbers every now and then to break up the fights with eighty billion soldiers who fire at you with the aim of a blind man, and before you say "but people still buy it", think about how much competition there is that isn't a crappy CoD clone... Done? Thought so).
DNF could of been good, but it wasn't. Call of Try Hard as I like to call it has been uber-suck-age lately. I have been drawn in by more Strategic games like SC2 (Went to MLG Anaheim WOOT!) and the BF3 Alpha, which is miles ahead of Any Call of Duty game I have played ever. You NEED to get on your Arse and crall around and flank and actually fucking play, not run around with Telleport Pro. The only thing that is making me buy MW3 is the Story, Which I think is at least better than other games like Bullet Storm (If It even has a Story).

Damn, I bought it used for 360 after I played the Beta on Steam. The Story was just as cluster fucked as the last game. It was console-fied and a lot of the Multiplayer Maps suck or have spawn-camping/killing problems. The Story was ok but the Single Player lost all attention after I finished it, the thing that bugged me the most was how many times I was holding out for evac and just sitting in a corner and then flanking Squids(= Cool Alien Concept)in Power Armor.

I have two.

First: Fable 3. NO explanation needed.

Second: Demon's Souls. That game was a waste of time, and almost zero fun. I say almost because I enjoyed it when I was doing well, then when I died and had to restart the entire level sans souls, then died again, I just quit the game and returned it. That game was not good.
Quiting a game because you suck at it doesn't make it a bad game , makes you a bad player .

OT: i already said christap chronicals for the game cube but theres so much more :

Metroid other M
Mad world
SSBM ( not a bad game but i hate fighting games )
Steal princess ( on DS )
Fable 2 ( dat ending! Also 1st and only game i traded back to game stop)

So many more that my mind blocked out for good reason

Demon's Souls was designed to make everyone suck at it. Randomly having boulders fall on your head and kill you is BS. It is not designed for skillful players. The only way to play it is to die over and over and memorize where all the falling boulders are going to occur. You probably think memorizing where all the boulders were going to fall makes you a skillful player, but it doesn't. Any child can do that.

Brink, Bulletstorm and Borderlands.

Brink wasn't what I thought it would be, Bulletstorm was boring as hell and kept crashing at a certain point in the game (plus the GfWL stuff took me a DAY to actually play the game after I installed it) and Borderlands was disappointing and the story was shit.

If i child could do that then people wouldn't quit , and there's more to the game than boulders. It actually does take some skill to the game , it's an action game , meaning there's monsters and bosses to get through, while it is true that there are traps theres more to the game than that . By your logic demons's souls is the same as super meat boy . It really isn't , thus i assume you never actually played the game but feel entitled to talk about it like you know .

I'm very careful with my purchases so not many bad ones. I could say Dragon Age II, but at the end of the day, I enjoyed the game and I'm glad to have it in my collection. I just should have waited for the price to go down about $20.

Other M, on the other hand, pissed me off to no end. I really hope Retro Studios takes over the development for the next Metroid.

A while back I would have said Demon's Souls or even Mass Effect 2, but in both cases that would have been because I hadn't played them anywhere near enough to justify their purchase.

However, I have to go with Devil May Cry 2, 3 or even Bayonetta, I don't like the game style and yet I still get suckered in with the hype and buy them anyway.

Terraria.

Seriosly, i think I dont get the point of the game, but it seems like a poor-mans Minecraft.
