Games You Regret Buying

Fantasy Life.
I had a 50 dollar Eshop card and I thought it looked cool.
Until I played it---

I shoulda watched playthoughs to determine if I liked it or not first.

Whoa whoa whoa!!!!

You can't be going around talking trash about Fantasy Life 'round these parts! You know what happens to people who trash talk Fantasy Life around here? Have you seen 'the Wicker Man'?
 
Minecraft for Xbox 360.

I don't play games on PC so I picked this up on sale one day. It started out fun, just discovering all the various things you can do and exploring the worlds, etc.

After a while it just got boring and bland. I'm sure multiplayer would've made it better but that really wasn't an option for me.

Don't get me wrong, I see why other people enjoy the game. It just quickly got boring as a single player game to me.
 
I bought Skyrim legendary edition for my 360 a while back, and now I kind of regret it because I'd really like to play with mods.
 
Mario 3D Land sure it was good but I beat all the worlds and special worlds in 3 days U_U
 
Skyrim on the Xbox 360. Couldn't play it on PC, because my computer isn't great for gaming, but man.... You get a game-breaking bug on a console and you are stuck. It was kinda funny at first when things like invisible dragons with jacked-up hitboxes started showing up, but after it happens to Alduin himself... done. I quit. Well, that wasn't the game-breaker, but it was probably the most interesting glitch (aside from flying horses; those were fantastic).
 
Destiny, that game was....oh boy. I didn't like the story or lack thereof, the locations bored me, the classes weren't all that different, etc. I ended up just selling it back in, sucked too since I was really excited for it I played the Beta and found it great, a little A to B in gameplay but I hoped it would expand more in the full release...such a shame :I

It's fun and all but I dunno I just got bored. The dialogue dragged on and I really didn't care about the characters all too much.

I am so glad I never bought Tomodachi Life though.

I feel somewhat the same but for different reasons. It was fun enough but I just got bored and haven't had the motivation to go back and actually finish it. I actually got it day 1 because it looked really fun but, yea...

I dunno...It kind of feels like MMO gameplay in a single player game. It kind of loses a lot of why I like MMO gameplay in the first place by not actually being, yano, massively multiplayer. The repetitive grinding gameplay can be a hell of a lot of fun, but I think the randomness and uncertainty of other players being around helped that.

It wasn't particularly difficult either (as far as I got anyway)...And a lot of the jobs felt like they were grinding for the sake of grinding with little actual payoff outside of the 'ultimate blacksmith crafted weapon' the game more than likely has which forces you into blacksmithing (or find a friend that maxed it).

It might be difficult at end game, I dunno, (I dunno what happens at end game to be honest) but that's the same reason I grew to dislike World of Warcraft. Leveling up my character is a large part of the fun and if the actual leveling is pretty much a joke as WoW turned into, it's not enjoyable. I like leveling up characters but I don't want to faceroll to the end either.


It was okay but I don't understand the commotion about it...I got enough play out of it to justify the purchase and not regret it at least.

Yeah the gameplay is extremely repetitive and unless you go to a later area it's really easy. The only difficulty comes in the DLC iirc and some later bosses but with good avoiding all of those are just a bit tedious. It's just a really watered down rpg really, with nothing else to offer than a bunch of classes that aren't interesting anyway.

That exactly :I The dialog in FL was trash and gave nothing interesting to ponder about, the characters were dull and some situations in the story were too convenient to really make you give a **** about it. I mean I remember a part where you suddenly require something and then the old king from the mountains suddenly barges in and has it cuz y not.

The thing that gets to me is the interaction in the main story. There is none. It's so dumb. I mean in typical RPGs a character says, "we need to kill this boss to advance the story", but in this game each chapter is just people talking. Even later in the game, your butterfly partner asks if you want to fight some monsters. If you say no, SHE DOES IT FOR YOU.

I was really disappointed because this game is more about checking to-do list for people than saving the world or doing anything meaningful with your time. I enjoyed the gameplay mechanics, I just wish the story mode was more than just hand-holding text boxes. That, combined with your character's inability to communicate whatsoever, really make you detached from the characters/story in the this game.
 
Dragon Age.

It sucked. I hate it. I played it for .2 hours and was just like, "Nope. Back to skyrim." It seemed like it was going to be a lot of fun but it was really just a disappointment. Oh well. At least I got it on sale. :rolleyes:
