Basically like the SMWC thread. What's the game(s) that you regret ever buying?

I'll just copy/paste my post from the SMWC thread then.

I'll probably also never pick up Need for Speed: Shift again either, but at least that was moderately good.

I think I kind of regret buying Animal Crossing City Folk just because I never bothered to play it a lot, despite the fact it's one of those games where you're kind of suposed to.

Hmm... The only thing I can think of is Sonic and the Secret Rings. It was okay but I really didn't like the gameplay that much, I think it would've been better if I got Sonic Unleashed instead.

-Spyro and the Eternal Night (I used to love Spyro games, the new ones are just depressing - pretty much the same with Crash)

Well, uh.... pretty much any FF title besides Crisis Core (which I got rid of later). Most of them suck now. I tried Crystal Chronicles, Dissidia, 13. And none of them affected me. They are all terrible. So, Fail Fantasy has been failing for awhile. Old FF was way better. (lol, I sound like a nostalgia person saying that)

I have way too many games I bought but never played. Heck, I still have some I haven't opened. *sees We ♥ Katamari, Final Fantasy VII, Grand Theft Auto: London, Ridge Racer, Ninjabread Man, and a small stack of other games*

As for a 'worst' one...hmm...Hey You, Pikachu! was pretty bad. In fact, it's the only game I have actually sold my only copy of. (I did sell a second copy of another game.) I did buy it again later just so I could have it.

I either bought or got as a gift Endless Ocean for Wii. It was fun for about a week, then I just stopped playing it and let it rot. I eventually sold it to someone for like 10 bucks. Also, my grandmother sent me *shudder* Neopets Puzzle Adventure for the Wii. I just gave that piece of garbage to GameStop for 5 bucks. I'm still wondering why she would send me a game she knows I wouldn't like...
Oh, and my brother got me Final Fantasy: Crystal Bearers for Wii, but I don't know how to tell him I don't like it and I will never play it.

My bad game purchase is Tom and Jerry Tales on the DS. That game uses too many touch screen gimmicks. Heck, the whole game is a touch screen gimmick. I can't believe I haven't sold it yet, though.

Well, actually in some ways....Tatsunoko vs Capcom.

First off, let me say a lot of people would hate me for saying that but.....

The roster is lacking: 20-25 something characters when Marvel vs Capcom 3 has 36 characters and yet MvC3 still gets rant for no reason (lol nostalgia people playing MvC2)

?: The roster I saw for Tatsunoko I didn't really like outside of Karas, and Joe the Condor and for Capcom I only really liked Ryu, and Frank.

Terroble online: The loading times online are horrendous and takes around ten minutes to go online before my butt gets kicked

No themes for characters: Now, this seems like the most lazy part in TvC. When a characters dies and another from your/other team pops out, it doesn't give you encouragement to make a complete comeback like in MvC1 or 2 (and 3) did.

A new one for me would be Asphalt 3D. It's not really the best driving game I've played for a couple of reasons, but I still slightly enjoyed it. Until I came across this event in the championship mode that's literally impossible (It's not because I'm bad at the game, I'm pretty good at racing games.). Then I never played it again.

I'm a real animal lover, and I bought this one game where you would like, I think raise your own farm of horses or something, and it wouldn't let me do anything. I went EVERYWHERE, but nothing happened. I played it for DAYS, trying to figure out what to do and how to play it, but nothing worked. I guess that's what I get for a $9 game. -_- I was going to give it back, but my mom forgot, because I told her, and now this game is STILL here. I don't know where it is, though. Thank goodness. It's a waste of money game. Really.

Now you know how the people who bought The Force Unleashed II feel.



The latest in my list is Spiderman Shattered Dimensions. 4 different spidersmans, 3 of which have exactly the same gameplay mechanics of beating people up until you get to the next room. Boring. And spiderman is one of those people you want to punch in the face every time he opens his mouth, making it worse. They don't even have web swinging except for maybe one part. I didn't even get past the first level because it's so boring.

The worst game I've ever bought is probably Yugioh: Reshef the Dark Being (GBA) from my childhood. The only thing that was semi good about the game was the storyline. The duels were extremely difficult and tedious in the beginning and as the game went on. I always depended on luck to win each duel; there was absolutely no skill involved. If anybody actually beats this game with no cheats, they have insane luck.
To me, this game isnt worth the money, unless you're extremely determined to beat it.

Resident Evil 5 for me was a pretty bad purchase. Of course, I played Dead Space first and Dead Space if far better and harder then Resident Evil 5. (not to mention actually SCARY) But, yeah Resident Evil 5 was pretty crap for a mainstream title. Hopefully, 6 can be really awesome.

I'm fairly aware of console games being inferior to the PC versions often, but the whole game seemed like grinding through low quality fogged maps, alternate title: Paper Spore

oh my god i didn't understand this one bit to the point I finally said F it and gave up around the second or third level. The maps looked like they crossed in on whatever and I can't even remember a point to all that running around. Controlls made me die everytime I tried to control that horrid forward direction speed. I also remember some crappy Mario Party thing for some reason.

Pokemon Stadium without the fun, I joke. Actually it wasn't THAT bad, it's just not really worth using, especially since BW is out now which makes it out of date for those like me who focus more on the latest stuff. I actually beat it when I got it in Georgia, but I used my grandparents' Wii at the time, aka I beat it but couldn't transfer to my Wii since Wifi using gamesaves can't be copied.

That's not a fault with the game, that's a fault with Microsoft and their don't know how to make a functional console.

I spent £50 on the Sega Complete Pack on Steam since it was on a huge sale. I've hardly touched any of the games. I tried out one of the total war games, but it advanced so slowly, and didn't tell me what to do properly so I just lost at the tutorial and quit.

No, it's his fault for buying the game used/not keeping the receipt. And if it was bought new, then he obviously doesn't know how to take care of a disc. I've had my used Halo 3 and new copy of ODST working for 2+ years, so I don't think it's a faulty console, Nin. Just pointing that out.

The worst game I ever spent money on was 60$ for Black Ops. I have no idea what I was thinking, it only kept me entertained for a month. I've had more fun paying 9$ for Final Fantasy XIII then I would paying 60$ for a CoD game; never again.

Sonic Unleashed for the Wii. It was cool when I got it and all, but the overdose of night stages which were equal in length annoyed me. And the bombardment of useless mandatory day missions made me rage. After a SHORT day stage. Plus, the boosting is downright stupid. You can't even really CONTROL it. I'm glad I gave it away as a birthday present. I prefer the 360 one more.

No one say Brink? I am dissapoint. There are some other games with terrible A.I but this is just horrible. Awful maps and respawn system and escort missions on single player are near suicide. Some might call this a lame version of TF2, I personally just think this is a bad FPS to be summed up as and nothing more then a product purely rushed out before they could fix this. Not even the patches can fix this pain in Brink.
