Games You Regret Buying

[infinikitten]

Skullgirls. It was fun the first few hours but unless you have fighting sticks those games are bad. They belong in the arcade halls.

This breaks my heart to hear it because I suspected this would be a problem. It looks like it would flourish in an arcade setting but then again, I don't know of many big arcades and I'm under the impression that they're dying out - at least around the area where I'm from.

The designs got a little too fanservice-y for my liking but at the same time, they were more interesting than half the fighting game characters I've seen in ages. It's been on my to-play list forEVER but I'm kind of happy I put off buying it after reading this; it may just be one post saying as much but I've had my suspicions and I consider them confirmed. ...Sadly.

Skullgirls is an incredible fighting game. It has a small roster but because of that the characters play very differently from each other. Noiru either must not know how to play well or expected something to just pick up and play online...which is not something you do with a fighting game at all.

It's so damn frankly you can buy it and try it out. Pretty sad all it takes is one post to make you think it's not worth trying.

As I said in my post, I was tending toward that as it was; that post just confirmed suspicions I already had (and things I had already been hearing from other people for the record - kind of a 'last straw that broke the camel's back' type deal). It's not the only opinion I've ever heard on the game.

Rage hard. It is good but the achievements are pretty much there for nothing and unless you have a good controller it's trash. was promising.. especially the beta but nah

Fire Emblem. I knew it was going to be strategy based, which I love, but I wished I had looked more into it before buying. Can't stand the battle system.

May I ask which Fire Emblem specifically?

 

[Alienfish]

FE:A was bad mostly because they made it far more complicated than a SRPG should be, and some characters sucked hard compared to others

Also, Shadow Warrior (both the redux and the new one).. I dunno they are fun at first going around hacking enemies but after a while it gets boring and it's too hard at some points.

Awakening. I thought that I would like it because I'm really into chess, but the combat was a real snooze fest. I also hated the voice acting, I would have preferred for them to not make any sounds than to have them repeat the same line/sound over and over.

Hyperdimension Neptunia (the first one) Oh dear, I really didn't like it very much, the whole shares thing put me off so much and the combat system, the actually story was fine. Glad I bought MK2 though since after that I loved the series. ^ ^
I also kinda regret buying Phantom Hourglass, being a huge Zelda fan, I felt the need to complete the game. But damn that god awful Sea King Temple drove me insane.

Wait complicated? I remember feeling that it was extremely casual. Sure it had things like skills that carry over from specific classes and the whole marriage thing. But overall it was far more casual compared to the earlier titles that were amazingly rich in interesting dialog and an interesting world that FEA didnt have imo. And I don't recall a single character that you couldn't get to be a good fighter. It's literally the easiest FE out there.

Yeah, I did play some with a controller but they were in no way synchronized so it's pretty much luck and some skill.. not too fun

That healing lady were pretty much useless. And probably casual but made it more annoying lol. I remember playing one of the GBA titles, it was way more fun, same with FFTA

 

[DarkDesertFox]

Red Dead Redemption and Titanfall.

 

[HopeForHyrule]

FFXIII. I tried probably a dozen times to play through it, but I just hate it. The last thing I feel like doing is reading an effing NOVEL to get the background story of a game.

 

[Alienfish]

The Witcher (first one).

Too much focus on graphics and cutscenes and the combat sucks so hard because they practically did nothing to make it work.

 

[Baroque]

Drakengard 3. The character designs were great and the story had great potential but it all turns into a train wreck really fast. Worse than that, i bought the Collector's Edition and had to deal with Square Enix's online shop. One of the worst buying experience I've had.

At all least box is pretty...

Super mario sunshire

 

[pippy1994]

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance
My friend was buying me a Christmas present and I choose that one, the tutorials bored the crap out of me that I stopped playing it.

 

[AnEndlessOcean]

Both versions (Wii U and 3DS) of Scribblenauts Unlimited. I had no clue both were the exact same, with a few exceptions of course, until after I received them Well, at least I have a portable and a console version...

 

[boujee]

Pokemon alpha sapphire
I just rushed right through(wasn't as hype when I got Y).

Steam Games: Hitman Collection, Agarest: Generations of War and Mercenary Kings

3DS Games:
Zelda: A Link to the Past - My first Zelda game I have ever played. Its not a bad game, but I'm just not a huge fan of the gameplay.
Donkey Kong Country Returns - I thought that the controls in the game were alright. My main complaint is that it felt like I was playing on ice every level, Donkey Kong was sliding all over the place. That or maybe I'm just terrible at this plat former in particular.
Pokemon X/Y - I played through it. I had fun with it. However, I prefer the older games better since I'm not particularly happy with the 3D aspects of the game. I actually like the older versions of Pokemon better for that reason.

I don't regret but I do have a problem with:
Super Mario 3D Land - The ONLY problem I have with this game is the jumping which did make the game more challenging. Yes, jumping is probably the most difficult thing about this game. I can't really put it into the "Regret Buying" list because at 600 coins, I already own the other 600 coin games and I don't own a WiiU console so I didn't really have much of a choice with my purchase as I didn't want any of the games under 600 coins.
