FFX.
Dunno how old i was when i bought it, but i remember reading some reviews in magazines (wished i had discovered the internet sooner) and being dazzled by all the praise it got. What followed was over 9000 hours of annoying dipshits playing volley-ball and tedious fucking boss-fights (what? don't tell me that you didn't know that potion X kills Monster Y?) and boring ass puzzles. The only good points i could give FFX is that Bahamut looks bad-ass, but thats it.
From the moment i finished the game, i knew to stay away from most JRPGs, that is excluding Demons Soul, i consider RPGs in the context of not where they are from, but what kind of game it is (heavy anime/manga art-styles etc.).

Homefront.
I'll admit it was a decent game.
but The campaign is soo damn short. I beat it in less then 6 hours.
Also, the Multiplayer got boring very quickly.

Xenosaga: Episode 2
I hadn't heard much about it and thought "huh, a bigger than average box and a small price..score" Turns out I was wrong, I couldn't even make it very far into the tutorial without getting bored and giving up.

Empire: Total War. The sad part about this story is that I had heard that it didn't live up to the fantastic gameplay of Rome: Total War. However, once I figured they had cleared up most of the bugs, I went ahead and picked it up. Say goodbye to $40.
I also regret buying the keyboard for Rock Band 3. It looked cool, and most reviews had called it a great addition to the instrument set. I'm pretty sure I've used it MAYBE four times. That's terrible when you consider how much my friends and I play Rock Band. Instead of just paying $60 for the game, I ended up paying that AND an extra $70 for the keyboard. Such a waste. Now that I think about it, at least Empire provided me with some giggles when I wiped out the Thirteen Colonies.

Fucking **** of a game doesn't even fucking work piece of shit Obsidian put some damn work into your games. Seriously, I can see myself loving it, but it's so badly damned coded that it crashes every 5 fucking seconds KJNFLSIJNFOSA:

CoD 4. I trusted the reviews, it was my first Call of Duty, and EVERY. SINGLE. DEATH. WAS. BULLSH*T!! Every one of them!
And the worst part is, bad memories of CoD 4 kept me away from WaW, which I freaking love! GOD DAMN IN INFINITY WARD!! WHY DO YOU SUCK!!!!!?!???!??!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! *Crow-splosion*

While I have yet to play the original AVP, I played and loved AVP2 to death, and I have to say that the new one is really good. I don't get why people are always bashing it... its really fun.Sjakie said:
Dragon Warrior Monsters: Joker
I loved the GBC version and was hoping it was along the same lines. Aside from looking really good for a DS games it's incredibly small and is quite possibly the most grindtastic game I have ever played. Granted I only spent about 15$ on it I could've bought a comic.

TOO HUMAN. i saw a friend play it looked good, got it myself. hated the damn thing once i saw more than a five minute preview.
Saints Row 2 on PC. It was a terrible port and driving in it was like playing Snake on an old Nokia phone, especially when the frame rate just messed up.
I really did want to like it because it is only been seen as the pinnacle of sandbox mayhem by everyone but there was just not any effort put into the PC port.
