Devil May Cry 4. I don't know what possessed me to buy that thing, but it wasn't anywhere near as useful as what possessed the protagonists.

"So what if Yahtzee hated it?" I asked myself as I eyed it on the shelf, reduced to only five dollars for EB Games' Christmas sale. "Yahtzee hates JRPGs, and it's been several years since I got to play one. It was made by Square, how terrible can it be? Besides, one of my friends played it and he said it was fantastic, and he has good taste."
Oh boy. I could deal with the slow plot, and I liked the combat system. The dungeons were bearable. While the voice acting was shoddy and kept vanishing and re-appearing almost randomly, I still loved Weis' voice.
But oh sweet Lord, the character design. The main character looked silly, but I could deal with that. Then the heroine was introduced. She wasn't even wearing clothes, she was painful to look at. The only thing she had covering her ass was a flimsy mesh thing. The game seemed to be proud of this, because the camera kept showing me her ass, shoving it at the camera like a child begging for praise. I couldn't even look at it, and every time I looked away from the screen in disgust my immersion was shattered.
Fortunately, that scene ended, and I went on. Determined to give the game my friend had praised so highly another chance, I pressed on. An hour later, I was forced to do a fishing minigame. I spent almost an hour trying to figure out how to do it, following the instructions perfectly, before giving up.
I haven't touched it since then.
The worst part is? I could have gotten Alpha Protocol in that sale.

Farcry instincts for xbox360. Holy hell why did I pay $19.99 my friend kept telling me farcry had amazing stealth and great things to do...I hated it I could never hide because hiding in a bush doesn't seem to be proper cover and half the time I run into a camp guns firing hoping I can find medkits and don't get shot to much.

F1 2010. Got it full price because I wanted a decent racer, not one that's is brutally realistic and doesn't even have a decent tutorial.
Darksiders. The last game I got that made me violent. FUCK THAT POS God of War clone.
FUCK IT IN THE ASS!!!!!
That and Eternal Sonata are my two games on any system this gen I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Dragon Age 2. I got sucked in by the RPG-ness of it all and I found I just can not get into it. I can't return it either because it was a Steam purchase.

LOL Same. Armored Core seemed awesome, but then I realized that it was just a bunch of mini-games that were supposedly "Missions" It was horrible
Oh and Final Fantasy 13. I regret that game to no end.
Siren.
It had an interesting idea and great graphics but it was just frustrating.
"Will you open the door?" Yes.
"Will you put the key in the ignition?" ...Yes.
"Will you start the car?" YES.
"Will you drive the car?" FOR CHRIST SAKES YES!
And then the guy goes and crashes the thing anyway.

Here's about all I knew and understood about the Guilty Gear franchise: their character design and 2D sprite style is second to none, the moves are crazy, and the gameplay Japan-difficult (that is to say, way beyond my meager button-mashing abilities).
On a whim and because it was sort-of-but-not-really on sale, I bought Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. I plan on writing a full rant about it later on, but for now let's just say there's no proper story, barely any translation, and two of the favourite characters are only unlocked after completing an impossible task. Then I look it up online and discover that everything I desired and wanted to choke the developer over was present in Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus.
I bought Guilty Gear XX Accent Core: the Shit Version, and I didn't even know it. Now I'm trying to trick somebody else into buying it off me and suffering like I did, so I can use the funds to buy the real game.

Commander and Conquer 4. Egahd! That game was a load of horse-shite that killed the C&C series as if with a bloody steak-knife through the forehead.
Also set me back a good $50 (converted shoddily for convenience of non-South African infidels, I joke, I joke.)

Street Fighter 4
I paid 70? (98.7 dollars) for that piece of shit.
Words can't even describe how much I hate that fucking game.
Why is it that fighting games can't fucking evolve. Why are all fighting games trying to rip off Yie Ar Kung Fu? That game was made in 1985 for fucks sake!

Final Fantasy 13. I bought the PS3 for choice exclusives and now I find myself leaving it to gather dust. Hurray for the 360!
Recently or all time?
Recent: Final Fantasy 13
All time: INXS (Make my video) for the Sega CD. Whats worse is the game I traded into Funcoland (before they were bought by Gamestop) to get it...Dragon Warrior 4, a real live NES copy. Those suckers are RARE.
