Worst game you bought at $60?

[dragongit]

Star Wars the Force Unleasehed... That game was hyped to hell. and I fell for it. I thought it was going to have fun combat and an interesting story, and more then one level where you trot around as Darth Vader... the "boss" battels were unimaginative, and frankly redundant by the fact that once you got into those QTE it had no concequence if you didn't press the right button, you basically just switch back to where you started from the first step without any penalty. That Star Destroyer thing annoyed the hell out of me. And I managed to finish the game in a single day, roughly 6 hours or so maybe longer... I looked at screen and reloaded the game in case somehow I skiped to the end. Nope, I just beat the game...

I put the game back into the box, deleted all my saved game data, and returned the game the very next day, and only got 15 bucks store credit... bloody awful exprience from beginning to end.

So much so I haven't touched anything Star Wars since. And I don't look foward to the MMORPG either.

That game is why I always go with my instincts (and reviews when applicable), and I only buy high-quality mainstream games on release. Everything else requires a demo or a price drop.

I don't mean this sarcastically and am not trying to insult you but I am deeply curious.

What game recently would you qualify as a high-quality mainstream release?

Games series like Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Total War, Civilization, etc. I basically mean games that are from proven developers or have a lot of good previews/demos.
I tend to stay away from games like Two Worlds 2, which I know can be good games sometimes, but it's just not worth the high risk of disappointment for me

Ah. Fair enough. That makes a good deal of sense then .

Fable 3. like i took a 245 day long nap or some shit.

 

[StormShaun]

Two Worlds......one day later I ran into the store and yelled at the top of my lungs, THIS GAME IS THE BIGGEST LOAD OF HORSE S**T and then I got my money back and EVERYONE knows why, and if you liked this game you are proberly HIGH...

I never really bought any bad games for this generation of consoles.

I'd either have to say black ops. (Piece of crap that game is) Or Shadowrun, Shadowrun was really fun, but it only had online, in which no one played.

 

[xFullmetalx]

I do a lot of research on what ever I'm considering buying for full price. If I know I'll get a lot of play out of it I'll usually buy it, because of this I don't buy bad games for full price.

 

[I Max95]

Iron man the game
...i dont want to talk about it

 

[Vykrel]

probably Wolfenstein (2009) played it for like 2 hours and just had enough

 

[Lunar Templar]

White Knight Chronicles

pretty much set on filing it under 'its got no right existing' its so bad

 

[Mute52]

Modern Warfare 2

 

[Sn1P3r M98]

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. It was just an unfun, boring piece of crap.

 

[Thedarkness77]

I didn't buy it but got it as a gift, pirates of the caribean 3 I don't even want to remember it.

 

[Vault101]

Zelda twilight princess, I know blasphmey right?

anyway I thourght Id see what all the fuss was about the zelda series (and really theres hardly anything worth playing in a wii),

I played through it a bit but...eh all the carachters were just kinda "cutsey anime" if that makes sense, and it just got to a point where I felt like I was doing work instead of having fun

and that was my birthday money too

 

[Fuselage]

Kane and Lynch 2: Dog Days (More like SHIT days amirite?), Worst purchase I have ever made, Traded in $60 worth of good games for that miserable piece of turd.

 

[Gunsang]

Frontlines: Fuel of War is probably the worst game I bought at 60$, but I do not regret buying it. I love the game, I just realize that it isn't the greatest game out there.

 

[MEEBO17]

I dont think ive ever payed 60$ for a game, so I cant really answer.

 

[Mcface]

Fable 2 and 3.

both times i traded in good games to be able to afford them, and was done with them in less than a dozen hours.

such a waste.

 

[Mcface]

Red Dead Redemption
once u had done everything i found it boring and repetative

Really? Once you beat the game there was nothing to do?

Never would have guessed...

actually, funny thing is there is still plenty to do.
DLC.. ride around killing people and robbing banks..

or just be a normal person and play online, which was awesome

 

[Veldel]

Borderlands God i hated that game

So repetative, grindfest, uh I hated that game, I should have savd my money I got like £8 back...

I dont ever sell or trade in my games once I buy em there mine til they dont work and thankfuly no game has reached that xD


But everything about it bored me and I hated it even tho I did play both single and co-op

 

[jib32]

Metroid other m. Controls are so fucking bad
