Basically the point in the thread is to list games you bought thinking they'd be awesome for them to gather dust on your shelving a few days later. Reason why for each!

List for me

AOE 3 = Never gripped me as a good game, boring fights and confusing system of having a home base.

BF1942 road to rome and secret weapons pack = played each of them once and uninstalled due to both bring literally nothing new to the original game :(

Return To Castle Wolfenstein = Never ever got into this game and bought it on the day of release. Started off 'okay' but I soon grew to hate the feel of the weaponry on the game. A spud gun would sound more dangerous than most of the weaponry on this game tbh.
 
I’ve only played about 30 minutes of Crysis and I’ve had that since release.

I just never managed to get into it really, kind of a disappointment in many areas.

Same here,played for an hour or so,not had the urge to carry on,yet anyway.And stalker,back and forth and so on,uninstalled,no great loss.
 
Two come most readily to mind:

Far Cry - boring benchmark program.
CoD4 - Single player was good but the MP does nothing new and get old, fast.
 
-Incoming: Flashy gfx but incredibly shallow and repetitive gameplay. Certainly not worth the 90% it got in PCZ.
-Daikatana: Had been looking forward to it for years; but the opening green swamp section was so frustrating that I couldn't be bothered perservering
-Oblivion: Didn't get gripped in the first 20mins or so. Spent more time hunting down mods than playing it.
-Supreme Commander: Completed the first couple of missions and then couldn't be bothered carrying on. I think I'm too used to the old fashioned style of RTS (C&C/WC2/DoW)
-Pro Evolution Soccer 5: First (and last) one of the series I tried, couldn't handle the console port control system at all.
-Micromachines 4: Didn't recapture the magic of the 16bit versions
-Sensible Soccer 2006: Ditto. Too easy and too many bugs
-Outrun 2006: Too unstable, looks and feels like a 90s game.
 
Quake 4. Pants. Just dire pants. Gave it away to a mate.

Farcry. Sorry but the script was so awful I'd rather nail my man veg to the desk.

MoH Airborne. Got the demo got bored. Just re-release allied assult with that superb music and updated graphics and sound.

Oblivion's Shivering Isle. Pure bilge dribble. Love Oblivion (only game I still play) yet this add on was an insult after you get over the wonderful scenery and become inflicted by the half arsed quests and script.

Don't play much anymore but my brother is getting me CoD 4 for xmas. Hope thats not as dissapointing as the demo.
 
Have tried to play Stalker a few times too, but it just wasn't happening.

Prey was another one, just bored silly after about 15 minutes.

Stopped playing Quake Wars as soon as I realised that there were no persistent unlocks.
 
I picked up 'Special Forces: Fire For Effect' for £1 not long back. Gave up on it as it's bloody awful!

Also had BF2 from the date of release, and the expansions too, yet I had to give it up because after 1000+ hours of play on ranked servers my stats never increased, therefore I couldn't get any weapon unlocks due to be stuck at PFC!
 
Oh another one for my list just found in my storage...

Joint Ops = Appauling movement, crap aircraft (1 helicopter with a weapon when I played it) and an over emphasis on zerging and objective.
 
CoD4 is GOTY on every major gaming site I can find, dunno where you got that from. I do agree it is a very very good game though, one of the best out.

Conversely, I bought Call of Duty 3, and I didn't play it for more than five minutes. How can they drop so heavily from Call of Duty 2 then rise astronomically to 4? I'm worried about number 5 because the developers on 3 are doing it. :/
