Games You Regret Buying

[Alienfish]

Audiosurf 2- It lacks the ability to properly synch with the music and the interface is...bad.

Conception 2 - Hated the characters and couldn't get far into the game without feeling annoyed.

Skullgirls - Great art, but really, REALLY hard to play.

There are others, but those are some of the few that come to mind off hand.

Yeah.. I still have the Vita version because I got the soundtrack..But yeah that games was overkill lmao

Bought Gone Home not too long ago, and then after playing it, immediately regret buying it. I expected something really cool to happen, and although exploring was fun, the storyline was just really drab to me. What made it worse was that I had really high expectations for it.

Destiny. I bought it for 30 a month ago and I haven't even played it. Womp.

tomodachi life ugh why was i hyped for that game

 

[g u m m i]

Tomodachi Life. I was so happy but the next day it got really stale and boring.
I regret buying City Folk for wii.
I regret (sorta) the Wii U.
I regret Freaky Forms Deluxe.
I regret Pokemon Art Academy.
I regret Minecraft: Pocket Edition.
I regret a lot of games..
I haven't bought one game in the end of 2014/2015.
Not even Smash.

I regret buying City Folk (it's really just Wild World on the Wii) and Child of Light. It got really boring after a while and i didn't like the art much.

 

[Pearls]

I regret buying Smash for 3DS... I find it kinda boring. I think it would be better if I waited till I got a Wii U to buy the Wii U version

Tomodachi life got very boring

Child of Light seems overrated.. mostly because all the gaming journalists pretty much praised it all. And Uplay on the PC version no thanks.

CS: GO- Well I don't use this much because (1) I'm too busy with schoolwork (2) I don't wanna ruin my stats and I don't own this PC well my dad's.

- - - Post Merge - - -

but yeah I'm glad my cousin uses my CS: GO xD

 

[BitterCoffee]

Pokemon X
It was really boring imo.
Pearl and Diamond were the last good Pokemon games I personally think.​

 

[Dustmop]

Torchlight 2.
I dunno what it was. It's not like I disliked the genre. I love FATE, even with how horribly its aged. I loved the first Torchlight. The second just didn't really 'blow me away.' Hell, it hardly kept my attention.

Alpha Protocol.
What the **** was I thinking. This. This was the game that made me stop pre-ordering games unless it's some variation of an HD remake I can't live without (ie, Resident Evil). I'm never buying months before being able to try it ever again.


And they were all bundled games, but honorable mentions go to Toki Tori 2+, Trauma, A Virus Named Tom, and Canyon Capers. A combined total of "the worst several hours of my life." Never picking them back up.

Literally me, except I don't regret buying Y & OR. But the last ones that captivated me were def D&P.

Destiny. I bought it for 30 a month ago and I haven't even played it. Womp.

And somehow that game is suppose to "last you" for like 3-5 more years since that's how much more DLC is supposedly on it's way. Wow. My cousin got it for his XB1 and he even put it down in a week or two and we had this convo about it.

 

[RisingStar]

One of the ones I regret buying was GTA4 on Steam. I mean, it was on sale and I wanted to try a GTA game, and my computer just couldn't handle it, which sucks. I wanted to refund the $5 I payed for it just to get rid of it completely, but I can't.

And maybe Super Smash Bros 3DS, which I did ask for Christmas and did get it and I almost feel really super bad that I never play it 'cause I can't get into it. I dont know what the appeal about it is, really.

 

[booshoe]

Probably Modnation Racers for PS3
It was great at first then I realized it didn't really give me much and it wasn't like LBP at all......

 

[tobi!]

Ocarina of Time :/

 

[Alienfish]

Pokemon X

Yeah that horrid gameplay vs. overly exploited graphics and elements no thanks.

I mean, yes pretty much.. or Platinum. I did complete Pokedex on Black 2 however so props to that

 

[VioletPrincess]

Tomodachi Life ZZzzzzzz. I was bored of that game in like 3 weeks. It was repetitive and boring.

 

[infinikitten]

I forget which it was, but it was one of the Ar Tonelico games. Never again. NEVER. AGAIN. I remembered thinking the first one was kind of funny and interesting (what with going inside the girls' minds and stuff) back when I was working at Gamestop (so... very long ago...) so, on a whim, I picked up one of the sequels and it was just such a horrible decision. The character design is terrible, the dialogue is terrible, the story is terrible. Just... no.

Also vaguely regret picking up Mana Khemia and Radiata Stories, but only because I haven't touched them yet and have no desire to, and they've been sitting there for like... actual months, just being ignored. No fault with the games themselves, but I wish I would have gotten something I'm more compelled to actually play, even though my backlog is already miles long...

Alpha Protocol is awesome. Rough gameplay sure but some incredible writing and Obsidian proves once again they have the best writers in the damn industry. I've never seen a studio pull of the roll of a "magnificent *******" so well. Obsidian always has some big ideas which is why I love their games. Still doesn't mean I paid full price but I do think you need to give it another shot. I don't know of any other Spy Thriller RPG that manages to really mix in the gameplay with the story so well. I like how mission intel especially can really help out in dialogue against important people.
