Worst Mistake You've Ever Made Regarding a Game

[Squarez]

Masterball + Rhyhorn = Failure.

probably not my stupidest but most recently. on LOTRO not locking the 50 chunks of rich iron ore I was about to craft and level up my skill with, then pressing 'sell all'....

 

[nick_knack]

Paying 5 dollars for Universal Combat.













Its so bad.......

 

[fudgebo]

I bought LOTR conquest, convincing myself that it would be battlefront with swords and bows ...huge mistake.

 

[Dys]

I used my Master Ball on an Onyx.

I used mine on one of the ghosts in lavender town without the thing that identified them...it dodged it

Paying $60 for a game I can beat in 9 hours. I'm looking at you Ghostbusters. Fun game though.

I bought and wasted some of my life on the festering shitstorm that is Dungeon Lords.

My worst mistake involving a game had to be buying Lost Planet.

 

[Dagallas]

When I was a child I sold my copies of Chrono Trigger and Earthbound games for the SNES, so I could afford to buy a playstation.

Worst decision ever, I STILL regret it to this day, and that was many years ago.

-rant about shitty console-to-pc ports-

Piracy, that's all.

*ahem*

Buying Spore, thinking it would live up to my insane expectations. It didn't even come close., not even slightly.
Also buying Unreal Tournament 3, thinking I would get a next-gen version of UT99...o how very wrong I was.

 

[Flour]

Deciding I was going to finish and try to like Halo 3 before playing it...

It actually ruined my interest in first person shooters and I've completely switched to RPGs.(the rare 30-minute TF2 session and single Painkiller level I play in a month aren't worth mentioning)

 

[Thy-Art-Is-Awesome]

buying Alone In The Dark

 

[Slythernite]

Expecting Valve to update Left 4 Dead like they did Team Fortress 2.

This was in Runescape, which I played when I was younger.

I was a young child. I was undertaking a quest to slay a dragon. The quest is one of the harder non-members quests, but I was a member. I had played the game for a long time and could easily complete the quest. I just never got around to doing it. One day, I finally decided to try completing it.

Before I continue, I should explain the death system in Runescape. When you die, it doesn't give you a second chance. You lose everything except your 3 most valuable items if you die. So obviously dying will really fuck you up as it takes a long time to replace the items you lost. Now this Dragon I had to kill was special. It's fire breath could kill you in one hit. regardless of your defense and HP. That's why you need a special shield to kill it. Now the shield is good against the dragon but piss weak against everything else. So while traveling to the dragon I had my superior shield equipped.

I entered the dragons chamber, charged at it with my long sword, only to fall dead in one hit. I had forgotten to equip the shield.

I don't need to explain what I did next.

'lending' Fallout 3 to my girlfriend, still haven't got that badboy back

 

[barryween]

Leveling up my character in FO3 without a guide or any previous knowledge of American RPGs (he ended up sucking.)

 

[Skreeee]

I used my Master Ball on an Onyx.

This. Oh how foolish we were.
