Regrets

[Pighardia]

I'm bored at work. Thought i would start a discussion. (this could start something here.....)

Which games do you regret buying/playing?
Or do you regret something specific with regards to certain games?

Personally, i regret buying Borderlands GOTY for £30 from Steam. Not the game i thought it was at all.

Specifically, i regret reading spoilers for Mass Effect 2 before playing, as i feel it did kind of spoil some of the reveals(thats why they are called spoilers)

I regret buying Nail'd. It was good for five minutes, but the multiplayer base was nowhere to be seen which destroyed it for me. Bought it at full price too. Stupid Dev, stupid.

personally, my biggest disappointment from a game has to be GT5. it had been in development for years and years and had a load of hype surrounding it, but just didn't deliver... *sobs*

Modern Warfare 2. I wanted it for a little bit of online blast every now and then but 2 days later the servers full of bots. Last time I buy a game in the series.

I bought Virtua Tennis 09 on steam during Wimbledon that year, I should have just gone and played tennis...

I would say same for me.

When I parted with my £40 (yes £40!) I thought I was buying the succesor to COD4!

More of the same epicness just different maps and new guns.

How wrong was I.

i would probably add not playing Portal for years. I played it for the fist time a few months ago, and used to tell people that it is not my sort of game!
Now i consider it to be one of my favourite games ever. I loved every minute of it

Lots of people do like it. But it just wasn't the game that i expected. I gave it a good go about 6 months ago, but haven't played it since.

ridge racer 7

bought it on the nostalgia of playing the original in the arcades and i think i played it for 5 mins and its never been in my ps3 since.

FarCry 2. Bought it for a fiver from someone on here, terrible game.

Also, Rainbow Six Vegas 2. I didn't even buy that one and I still felt completely ripped off.

Dogfighter (2?). Sucks.

disagree and agree at the same time. Good for a laugh with mates, but rarely played by said mates and therefore not much of a laugh

I regret buying Just cause 2, game looked good until I played it

 

[Pighardia]

I paid £30 for Far Cry 2, found it awful tbh, but luckily i bought it retail, so i could sell it on pretty quicly, so only made a slight loss.

Empire: Total War on day one. Patches and the modding community have since made it worth while, but yeah... should've waited for Steam sales.

Homefront - Well, it was bought for me as a birthday present. Game was OK but not at full price, certainly not one I'd play again. Portal eh? Mmm, I've been saying the same thing about it not being my sort of game, maybe I'll try it

Portal is great, there's even free cake!

Splinter Cell: Double Agent. Awful game.

 

[Treebiter]

Spore... awful, awful game.
