So what's a game you regretting wasting your hard earned money on? What's a game that, whenever you see it on your shelf, you groan and shake your head?
A game I regret buying is GRAW2 for the Xbox 360. Really, it should just be called GRAW: The Additional Levels. I honestly don't even know why I bought this game. This game has almost turned me off buying Ubisoft games completely.
I won't touch Rainbow Six Vegas 2, because I know it will be the exact same issue.
To an extent, I also regret buying Crysis. The game was fun, but then the final third just went to complete hell and ruined the campaign. Not to mention, the Multiplayer is not fun at all.
A friend of mine said he's still pissed off because he spent money on Hellgate London. I personally haven't seen that game in action (except for youtube vids), so I can't really say anything on that.

man that game was terrible
I was expecting something close to the amount of fun on the Ps2 versions.
I was wrong.

Did I mention this game was a piece of shit?
Also Final Fantasy X-2.
Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome game, but I now have to trade it in for something else, get nowhere near what I paid for it, and import the NTSC one after discovering the Pal game is cut. And I just can't do without my decapitations.
Just checked, only gonna get £17 for it trade-in at Game.

Oculus Rift: Sir_Grinch
Chromehounds was disappointing too but it was free so I can't really complain too much
Sin & Punishment on VC, I didn't like it at all after the initial playthrough and even then I was thinking to myself "this was really over hyped."
Same goes for Splatterhouse
Handmade Jewelry by me on EtsyGames for sale
Me on Twitch!
Turns out I was right first time.
I can live with ass-bastard tough bosses that require trial and error and pattern memorisation, but combine that with a pitiful handful of lives and having to redo an entire non-trivial level every time I lose them and I'm afraid I have better things to do with my time.
awful
I was weak, okay?
Also, MoO 3
Unless you're talking about Vegas 2 in the future, I think Vegas is a MUCH better game than GRAW (I never got around to buying GRAW2), they're similar but Vegas to me played a lot better
the top of my list would be for the orig Xbox: Brute Force & Bloodwake (yeah, those were both pretty terrible, though BF coop wasn't the worst thing ever)
and San Andreas is on my list as well, though I bought it cheap to play on the 360... but between the graphics being horrible after playing GTA3 on the PC, and the story being totally uninteresting, I just can't play it
I was considering Stranglehold, and if I had paid $60 for it I'd definitely agree, but for ~30 it's a pretty fun single player game
>.>
I bought it new at release. I didn't get a free game..
I hated it, and traded it for..
Final Fantasy X-2.
I eventually traded it in but then when I bought Mass Effect at Future Shop they were bundling it with a free copy of SR.
It got traded in again to Blockbuster over the weekend.
I suspect that game will try to infiltrate my house again some time but I'll be watching.....watching...
Oh, and The Feeble Files. Man, that game was slow and difficult - I didn't get anywhere, and it was before we had the Internet so the 4 CDs just gathered dust (4 CDs - oh, how many hours of gameplay I must have missed).
It wasn't a bad game by any means; it had a lot of cool stuff in it. But the gameplay was pretty average, it was fairly short, and I can't see myself ever wanting to replay it again. The multiplayer is complete balls as well; there's practically no replayability in it. I paid the full £40 for it, so I regret having purchased it at that price, not having played it.
Overlord
Yeah, not a bad game either. It has a lot of charm and creativity, but the gameplay is just so fucking annoying later on that I can't bring myself to finish it.
I played it for awhile, found myself completely indifferent to it. I lost it, I never lose anything, and I didn't care.
YOU OWE ME NEW FINGERS CROSHAW!
That and maybe Doom III, although that was still OK, and at least I was able to complete it.
Something happened after 7, maybe because they discovered fmv in 7 for 8 and beyond they decided to focus entirely on that at the cost of gameplay.. I don't know, but to me I regret buying 8, 10 and 10-2.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
Overlord was a pretty good game IMO, but some aspects of it were slightly annoying as hell. The MP was way too laggy and at some points impossibly hard, plus in the game you're playing as an 'Evil' guy (sorta, not spoilering it) but to actually get 100% corruption took fucking forever just because of the stupid 10000 villagers thing.
Baldur's Gate II. I'm clearly someone who just Doesn't Get It.
Also, I kind of regret buying SMT: Nocturne, since I got about 98% of the way towards the True Demon ending when my memory card died. And I know I'll never work up the drive to do it all again.

Full Spectrum Warrior
Futurama

They either suck, I suck at them, I gave the genre a try, or they weren't what I was expecting. I won't tell you which.

God of war 2 because my PS2 won't actually play it. It sits there taunting me.
Taunting.
spawning the Hunter helicopter and doing Vigilante missions was awesome fun
as was modding the cars and attempting to drift. although if you're referring to console versions of GTA:SA, then you're absolutely right.
I regret buying Invisible War.
I can't stand Devil May Cry. The games feel slow and sluggish to me. I hate the controls, I hate Dante, I hate the music. I don't fault people for liking them; they have plenty of content and the gameplay is deep. I just can't stand them. I thought DMC 1 was a fairly average affair, and was very annoyed with it in some places (mostly I thought the boss battles were more aggravating than difficult), but it was enough to get me to pick up DMC 3, which everyone praised to high heaven. But the gameplay still doesn't click with me, and the fact that you had to start the stage over whenever you died was the king of bad design choices. Fuck the yellow orbs. Yeah, the Special Edition doesn't have that, but I've given the series plenty of chances as it is. I don't like it, and I probably never will.
I tried the DMC 4 demo, but... no. Every design decision just annoys me to some degree. Good thing there isn't long until Ninja Gaiden 2 is released. That's a series I get.
Mass Effect - I don't know, I just never got into it.
Final Fantasy 12 - To me, this game missed the mark that the other games in the series hit. There were some fun gameplay mechanics, but when I pick up a JRPG, I want a story that I am going to become absorbed by, and this one just did not do it for me.
So many people on this forum raved about, but I just didn't get it.
The Darkness: Good game, just not $60 good.
Starfox 64-My inner child lied to me.
They...they cut decapitations out of the PAL version? Decapitations account for like 90% of my kills in Sigma.
was too corny
the story was lol
I had 4000504093 missiles on my jet
just wasn't as fun w/o a joystick

- Mega Man II for VC.
I forgot I actually own that game for my NES (I thought it was Mega Man I). Anyways the movment is jerky, like most sidescrollers for NES. Dunno why they couldn't get it to feel right, like Super Mario Bros I & III.
- GTA: San Andreas for PC.
I realised that game was going to suck when I had to spray tags or some bullshit.
Mega Man ZX: I was expecting another Mega Man Zero (which would have been fantastic). All I got was a shitty open-world design (yes, its so much more fun to walk through boring areas to get to a level than selecting it from a menu). I also felt that the level design was pretty weak, though, it would'e had to have been the best level design in any Mega Man game ever to put up with that open-world bullshit. Is the new one like that?
Capcom Vs. SNK 2: Not a bad game, but I mostly play alone, which is lame for fighters. When I do have company, CVS2 is just not a crowd pleaser like Powerstone 2, Smash Bros., or Wii Sports.
Hey, what's wrong with spraying tags? Sounds like the best game ever.
Which I traded years later. THOSE are the types of trade-ins I don't mind making.
