Worst game you bought at $60?

[dancinginfernal]

Resident Evil 5.

It wasn't horrible but...eh.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I'd say MAG.

The biggest selling, the huge 128 vs 128 matches, is also its biggest flaw: games take too long to start, when everyone (inevitably) ragequits when they lose you're screwed over, there's way too many snipers and campers, and

THE

FUCKING

GRENADE

SPAM.

I'd have to say the worst game I've spent the full $60 on was Two Worlds. I played the thing for a few hours before deciding the terrible graphics, voice acting, and combat weren't worth my time. But at least my younger brother got some sort of enjoyment out of it somehow...

 

[breadlord]

I'd have to say Spore, Assassin's Creed, and Fallout 3.

 

[Triaed]

None. I have never paid full price for any game.
...As a matter of fact, except for groceries, I rarely pay full price for anything.

(I am an IT purchasing manager... I guess I just negotiate)

Silent Hill: Homecoming. It's the only Silent Hill game I ever returned. It wasn't scary in the least, the combat was buggy (despite being the sole focus of the game), and the storyline was trite and predictable. That's even before we get to the graphics: normally, graphics don't bother me, but Homecoming had it wrong on both ends. It tried to show every last detail of the monsters and environments, and thus eliminating the whole 'horror' aspect of wondering what's around the next corner, yet at the same time everything was so muddied and fuzzy that you only got a vague sense of what you were looking at (seriously, Shattered Memories was a way better looking game).

While it's not the worst game I've ever played, it's definitely the worst one I've ever bought.

This. I'm still pissed off over it.
Also, SPORE

FF13 was NOT worth the $70 I paid for it. All those Anime lovers at my school kept persisting that it was the best game of the year and I had to go buy it. Foolishly I did and regretted it every second of playtime. I`ve never had a good history with the FF franchise as the only games I ever owned rather than rented was one of the tactics advanced game boy advance games that I somehow got for one of my birthdays a long time ago. I didn`t even like that one either and now I know not to EVER buy another FF game again.

Sorry Square Enix but most of your games suck (except Just Cause 2)

BF:BC2, maybe wasn't 60 but was at least 50.

*To date the balance system isn't working in BF:BC2*

Better than most FPS's to date + it got more realism so it gets a go ahead for me.

For me it has to be the Mission Impossible game. Just alot of bad game designs.

I've never paid $60 for a game. Wait... I have, just not in one go. I've spent about $100 on League of Legends, which I've played since closed beta in July 2009; it's never stopped being fun and is my most played game of all time. I've spent over $60 on WoW as well, that's been worth it as well; I do play it off and on, I can't imagine having stayed subbed 6 years straight xD.

Wait, I paid around $70 for Earthbound. I can't think of a game I've payed full OR $60+ for and regretted. I WOULD have regretted buying StarCraft 2 for $60, but that was a gift, so whatever.

Eragon

1. This looks interesting, a dragon on the cover!
2. Wait a minute...the main character becomes more elven the more he rides a dragon? This sounds like some sort of uber Mary Sue...
3. ???
4. FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

OT: I bought my friend a Wii set, complete with game controllers for around $60 on eBay. My friend calls me back to thank me, but also needed help with the controls:

"How do you use this thing?" he asks, having never seen a controller in his life (he's a friend of my grandma's), "It's shaped like a silver bullet. There are no buttons or anything."

I agree to take a look at it the next time I'm over at the Home...

The person who posted it on eBay replaced the Wii controllers with vibrators.

No thats standard - the Wii comes with one in every box.

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Definitely GH: Warriors of Rock. I didn't spend $60, I spent $175 on it (after tax, and it was the band kit). The drums are too frustrating, the story is very much nonexistent and my "guitar" was broken out of the box. And the worst part about the game is that there is a Nickelback song in it.

 

[AntonicKnight]

Kayne and Lynch 2.....the single-player didn't lead to anything, just a regular shooter with cover system (like there wasn't enough of those) and the multi-player died in a matter of a day and a half.

 

[CleverCover]

Mass Effect 2

The disappointment, frustration, and pain hasn't stopped me from pre-ordering DA 2 though.

 

[Nimzar]

Games that I paid $60 for? I don't think I've EVER paid that much for a single game. I don't have a current gen console so that might be why.

As far as games I paid full release price? I don't think I've ever actively DISLIKED one of those. I pretty picky and if I'm not sure about something I'll wait until at least the first price drop.

EDIT: Just remembered. SPORE. I didn't hate it as much as most I think, but I was sorely disappointed by it.

I believe I am about to win this thread; Terminator Salvation on the PS3... if you played it, you will KNOW what I mean. So bad. So very very bad.

I lent the game from a friend for free and it was still one of the worst decisions of my life.
Buying Overlord 2 for £10, I still regret that because that is the worst game I ever played in my life.

 

[Adam28]

FF13... I hated it

 

[Gwarr]

60$+150$ for the monitor I punched . Thanks Bobby Kotick ( MW2 if you can't guess )

 

[Upbeat Zombie]

I bought AvP for $60. Beat it, and then I sold it the next week. Wasn't a horrible game but it wasn't that great either.

 

[Cronq]

I've never paid $60 for a game, and I never will.
