Games You Regret Buying

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
it's a fun game and all but it's not worth it to the point of considering it a waste~
 
Pokemon Alpha Sapphire ( don't judge me >->) Since I had played Emerald aka Hoenn. I had played that game WAY too many times that now I look at the remake and it doesn't bring me any need to complete it. Unlike SoulSilver which was a version I had never played, I'm not a fan of remakes.

Same thing goes for Pokemon Black 2, I played the first one and enjoyed it, not the best gen pokemon wise but i still liked it. I bought Black 2 and since it's the same thing just new added story I didnt play it either so thats 80$ wasted (for both games)

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon 2, I got this one as a xmas present 2 years ago, and I played once and never touched it again. lol
 
Smash Bros 3DS. I only got it because I wanted to play it with my ex, but by the time he got it we had already broken up and I didn't want to play it anymore.

I regret buying that game too. But only cause it was a piece of **** and I was going to buy the wii u version regardless.

Also, Drakengard 3.
 
I regret buying Red Dead Redemption and Playstation All-Stars. Only reason I bought them was so I could play them with my close friends, considering we only play GTAV and on rare occasions Minecraft. Since my almost 3 months of owning those games, we have only played Red Dead twice, and All-Stars once

I've noticed that too. People also seem to hate the gen 6 Pokemon games a lot in this thread.

Pokemon X and Y were pretty bad. Easily the worst Pokemon game (the main storyline games, that is). They did add nice features like Fairy type, 3D Pokemon models, clothing/customization and the PSS/Pokemon Amie, but I hate everything else about the game. It had potential but felt extremely unfinished.

A whole new region..? 69 Pokemon? No memorable cities and towns? Just terrible. Not to mention, the controls were so horrid it almost makes the game unplayable. :/

I don't think it wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't hype the heck out of it. I was SO looking forward to it only to be slapped in the face. I'm just glad ORAS made up for my disappointment.
 
Smash Bros 3DS. A wonderful game with awful controls. GC controller 4 lyfe
 
I really regret buying ZombiU. When I first saw that game I was thinking, wow that looks like it could be a really fun Zombie game. It wasn't, its probably the worst thing I have ever paid full price for. I am not a big fan of the Pokemon games, so I have no idea why I bought Pokemon X. Battlefield 3 was also pretty awful.

* Quality over Quantity
** How do you have issues with the controls in a Pokemon game? They worked fine for me.

I never had an issue with the controls.

Anyway, now that I've argued with people's opinions, let's go on with the game I regret buying the most.

I regret buying Watch Dogs on day one. You're screwed if you don't have a Nvidia card, plus I never played it again after the beginning part. That's pretty much why I rarely pre-order nowadays.

On the off-chance they were referring to the skates, I hated them, too. But holding the d-pad was so awkward.

The controls in ORAS are pretty bad, too. Press down when she walks out of a building, and she turns around and walks back in? Stop that. And stop going into treehouses, just climb down the ladder. :v
 
Whatever that weird Batman game was that came out for the Wii U launch. I don't even know why I bought it. I don't even like Batman....
 
I liked XY :( I liked it a lot

X was the first one I bought since Crystal -- so I enjoyed all of the new things from gen 3-6, so my opinion is not of 'the norm' for pokemon fans.

I did like it - I just hated the roller skates. They were fun for about 5 minutes. Then they were annoying and I wanted to rip them off of her feet. :(

Then I got the bike and my problem with my faster mode of travel was (mostly) solved. :)

Yeah, that was one of the main issues about X & Y, the pacing.

It's like Gen IV all over again, except it's even worse IMHO.

But I agree ORAS made up for X & Y....except Trainer Customization....; ^ ;

Arkham City Armored Edition?

I wish I got that game, I love Arkham City so much.

I have a love/hate relationship with Tomodachi Life. It was fun and amusing at first, but it gets old really fast. It pretty much just gets to the point of item collecting. I'm OCD about collecting items in games, so that's not too bad. But many items are StreetPass only. I live in Japan and even here, it's taking FOREVER to collect everything. It's going to be even worse if you live in a place where you never StreetPass.
 
I regret buying Dragon Age: Inquisition for my 360. I got a new computer as a surprise gift for Xmas this year, I wish I would've waited and bought the game for my PC.

Ummmm...? Diamond and Pearl?

Huh...To each his own! I guess...

Sinnoh was my favorite region, however.

I think a ton of people have posted TL and I believe I threw in my two cents already but I'll go over it again. I completely agree it was totally fun at the beginning but I just gave up after a month of playing. I played 2 hours a day to 2 minutes a day. I actually lost the chip so :L goodbye whatever I named my island.

I loved the roller skates. I preferred it over the bike, tbh!
 
Heroes of Ruin! Really fun concept, badly executed.

When I played the final level for the first time my party just ran from quest point to quest point ignoring any mobs on the way. Boss got killed within 10 seconds... the end.

There's zero challenge to this game, which is too bad, because a diablo-like game on a 3DS was a really great idea.
 
Oh god I tried the Heroes of Ruin way back.. hated it xD

Well.. Fate/EXTRA. So bad and the graphics does not make PSP/Vita justice. I normally don't care but it's pretty much looks like a N64 port badly made.
