So what games have you been deceived into buying by friends, media hype and your silly ideas?
LittleBig Planet - What the hell i have to surf through loads of crappy levels for a single good one? Also why cant sackboy do cool stuff like mario sonic and megaman?
Resistance 2 - I liked the first better for some reason, and the graphics were severely outdated.
Spore - Nuff said.
Enemy Territory: Quake Wars - Oh, My, God, ITS SO BORING AND TWITCHY.
GTA4 - goddammit all the missions are boring as hell THANKS IGN you owe me money.
The Nintendo Wii.

What? I completely disagree.
In retrospect Spiderman is my own fault, there were no reviews and I generally read up on stuff before I buy it but the prospect of webslinging with the wiimote suckered me in.
Heavenly Sword was ok but incredibly short and I loathed the shooting sections. But for $10 it was an okay buy I guess.
Edit: Jagged Alliance DS. A portable port of one of my favourite PC games ever. It's a shame it is damn near unplayable due to several ill thought out decisions.
Bullshit.
If there's not at least 5 to 10 games for the Wii that you don't like you shouldn't be playing videogames.
Edit: That being said, this doesn't happen to me very often, as I tend to avoid new releases and the only game I've ever bought at the $60 price point was Ghostbusters, and at least I got a $20 gift card out of that (Plus the game was awesome) I stick to the $30 and below games.
Switch: 6200-8149-0919 / Wii U: maximumzero / 3DS: 0860-3352-3335 / eBay Shop
I bought Enter the Matrix on media hype, I even finished it and the extra levels you unlock through the hacking thing. But jeez what a shitty game.
Assassins Creed- All that hype for nothing. Video Game journalism is a joke and this game proved it. Some attractive woman worked on this game so lets give it high scores. Lame combat, repetitive scenery, and a good story ruined by adding some dumb sci-fi crap in to the mix.
GTA4- Lets take all the cool stuff from series and replace it with taking your cousin bowling and watching cabaret.
Too Human - Great game, but Dennis Dyack is an enormous douche and thinks anything he does is God's gift to the world. Honestly, what kind of self-centered dipshit DENIES problems with his game that the THOUSANDS of people who bought it can all confirm? He says we just don't get it. So apparently that means we're supposed to randomly fall through the terrain or dash into walls and get stuck, or maybe the 360 is supposed to freeze when GRND-L comes up the elevator...
Hellgate: London - Again, a wonderful (albeit bug-ridden) game run to the ground by horrible business practices. Bill Roper turned down a couple million dollars offered to him to keep the game going, all because he didn't want to share the IP? LOT OF GOOD THAT DID YOU NOW, MORON!
Titan Quest - Someone lied when they said it was Diablo II's "spiritual successor". That was the first time I put a DVD in the microwave. They bubble more than CDs.
Final Fantasy XI - I played this game for 2 weeks, and it required me to have a constant supply of No-Doz in hopes I would get the point. I couldn't make it through one single fight againts rabbits with my red mage without falling asleep.
Halo 2 - Need I say more?
The Raid
Jet Grind Radio for GBA
What an abomination.
I read in the MMO subforum they have a boss encounter that takes 8 hours or so to complete now.
Fail.
This is often my problem with MMOs...
I thought that was a glitch?
ie Spore which was hyped up as being this awesome evolution simulator but ended up as some kind of weird crap doll making engine
Played it for a weekend.
that was that. What a waste.
But it did have that awesome gameplay movie with Robin Williams
Left 4 Dead - I wanted a nice, slow, sneaky "avoid the zombies through teamwork" game. Not "here come the endless hoards!" super-fast zombies
... and those extra DLC classes (and items) we were supposed to get (DD once said his fav class wasn't in the game yet). I really hope TH2 come out and builds on the system and story as I love the game to death!
Stop getting mad at video games.
Also, take responsibility for your own hasty purchases rather than blaming others.
No, it was designed that way. It wasn't an 8 hour fight, it was more like a 48 hour fight, with people going to bed and coming back to it in the morning (or not going to bed and passing out from it). When they realized it was a problem they limited all boss fights to 2 hours or the boss despawns.
Yeah, I haven't bought a new Wii game in over a year. And I only turned it on most recently to review The Conduit (which was terrible, by the way). I have liked a few games on the system, and I want Metroid Prime Trilogy (since I never got around to buying Corruption), but I would be might pissed if I had paid for my Wii instead of getting it as a gift. It's exceptionally ignorant to say "if you don't like 5-10 games on Wii then you shouldn't be playing games." Some people have different tastes than you do.
As for games I've bought that turned out to be crap - Eternity's Child. I got sucked in by the Steam discount and the fact that I love platformers. Game was terrible, floaty, and was generally not fun.
If the president had any real power, he'd be able to live wherever the fuck he wanted.
Heavenly Sword is short? I don't own a PS3 and have no inclination to buy the game, and I could've told you that.
Spore? It did exactly what was promised, but not what the seething enthusiasm was predicting.
You do not seem like a savvy consumer.

I am angry that you hate popular video games, because you're edgier and cooler then me.
Left4Dead is some of the most fun I've had online in a long time.
I'll admit that (weirdly enough) I felt a bit let down by Fallout 3 in the beginning. The wastes just seemed to be completely uninteresting to me, so I sold it. I bought it again recently, ($38 for the Collector's Edition..Lunchbox/Bobblehead set) and having given it a second chance, realized the error of my ways.:)
I'm generally not a "buy it day one" kind of guy, unless I'm SURE it'll be good without worry, which doesn't happen very often.
The old adage about a fool and his money comes to mind. The only recent game that I bought full-price and regretted pretty shortly thereafter was Klonoa on Wii. But it was only $30, and I ended up trading it on Goozex for about $35 worth of credit, so I'm still pretty happy with my decision!
OP, you should just look into Goozex or eBay if your impulses betray you so much. Goozex is pretty much custom-built for people to offload very new games at pretty much full value, and you can use the credit to pick up two or three older games that you think you'll like more.
that's like complaining you can enter the console and set your level to max.
The Raid
I twas on the 360, so no console. And I know I did it wrong. However, I should not be able to do it wrong, nor should I need a damn spreadsheet to PLAN MY LEVELLING!
If Too Human 2 supports local coop then I will buy it instead of just being interested in it like I did with the first one.
You don't need a spreadsheet, but if you just blindly blow your points around without a clear strategy why is it bad that the game punishes you by giving you a shit character?
Because bitching about buying a game that ended up not being what you thought it was when there is plenty of information out there about every game out there right now is stupid and pointless?
Because even if it wasn't people unhappy that they forgot how to read before buying a game, bitching about sub-par games is stupid and pointless anyways?
Because structures built on shoddy foundations rarely turn into skyscrapers.
No, you see, this is the problem. I did what I wanted to in the SANDBOX. I built an assassin of repute and finished the dark brotherhood. However, stealth and marksmanship work for nothing against dinosaur monsters lurking around the corners in a cave. And I call BS on not needed a spreadsheet. That levelling system is so stupid vague and obscure.
Yeah gears of war was awful because I didn't use cover and then got shot and killed. I SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT WRONG!
I know I'm a bad person for saying this, but I hope a house falls on Dennis Dyack. I hope it doesn't kill him, just puts him in a coma while TH2 and 3 are being developed. The game was in production for 10 years, and it doesn't support local co-op? Seriously...
I love the cyberpunk spin on Norse mythology. That was actually a Thor worthy of being a god. I wish O.D.I.N. wasn't some lame computer though...
The Raid
Not a valid comparison. Gears of War is not a sandbox game.
