Regrets

Borderlands £24.99 - utter rubbish. Just seemed to be a completely pointless game.
Bioshock full price - didn't like it, got bored just over half way through.
Far Cry 2 - Full price on release. Awful.
DAO 1 - Tenner. Not my kind of game at all really. Couldnt get into it.


The worst has got to be Corporation on the Mega Drive about 17 years ago. I bought it with precious birthday money from "What Everyone Wants" the shop. Got it home and it was absolute ****. I think that was the most gutted i've ever been with a game. Being a kid I couldn't afford to buy another new game for ages!
 
I regretted buying

1.TDU 2 - biggest pile of poo, hyped game only played about 2 hours of this and just got fed up with the bugs and online/offline profile.

2. Crysis2 - This game was ok, but nothing like the first it was booring and never completed.

3. Far Cry 2 - utter turd, you destroy a checkpoint and return to find that it's spawned after 5 mins, they send you stupid missions half way across the map, which means that if you got killed you would need to restart all over again. AI was was just silly you would snipe them and they would know exactly where you are, the AI vehicle seem to be faster than yours.
 
Dragon Age 2 - I hate to jump on the hater bandwagon but it's just so bad compared to the first.
Empire Total War - way to kill a great gaming series.
Wasted a lot of money on steam sales - too many to name, it's more of a collective regret because each game was only like £2.
Civilization 5 - I've gone back to Civ 1 on dosbox, which I honestly get more enjoyment out of playing. Only had 2 goes through Civ 5 - it's just so slow to go through a campaign.
MW2 Got less than ten hours out of it before the relentless amount of cheaters online made me give up.
 
MW2 - i didnt buy it, it was a xmas present
Arma 2 - looked so pretty when released. i just cant get into it.
OP dragon rising - got it in steam sales never played it
F1 2010 - its pretty pants i think
 
Not in any particular order.

Far Cry 2 - Piece of **** game that had you running around the whole world killing target A and his heavies, only for them to re-spawn 5 minutes later and chase you around. All the missions were exactly the same though on the plus side it was nice to look at.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - An abortion compared to the original one, both multi player and story wise.

Halo 3 - Abysmal story, rubbish game play. The 1st and 2nd ones were by far the best.

It failed on so many levels, it didnt even look very good, and it was too slow paced.

They tried to appeal to everyone but sadly it didnt appeal to anyone.

They clearly need to make it into a action game, the controls were far too unintuitive.
 
GTA4 for £30, mega dissapoint. That's about it really, that's the only game that I've bought then thought "What the hell is this?!"

Ah and Minecraft but that's just because I really couldn't get into or understand it, I accept it's a pretty good game. GTA4 though was just the worst excuse for a console port ever, I bought it on the merit of GTA3 which I had so much fun with down the years.

Good call.... Rapture - what an amazing setting.

I loved Bioshock - an great game... I preferred it to HL2.

If you took it for what it was and didn't expect covert ops navy seal SAS targetting/weapons/fighting - and played it as the character accidentally in that world, I really got into it.


Bioshock 2 however..... one of the few games I haven't been bothered to finish. Just got to a point where I couldn't care less on it and never went back to complete it.


Mothership Zeta - FO3 DLC. Only recently attemtped it. Regretted it. Rubbish addition to a great game.




I also regret the Wii, balance board and pretty much every game on there bar Zelda Windwaker... and that maybe be because I am a big Zelda fan.

Waste of £££ for myself... a good laugh if a friend owns it though for the occasional muck around.

i quite enjoyed Mothership Zeta tbh. The only dlc i didn't like for FO3 was Point Lookout for some reason, and the general consensus seems to be that it is the best one!

I haven't got onto that one yet. Maybe just Zeta felt too different compared to the rest of the game and I wasn't ready for it. It just felt souless compared to the main game. I've yet to see it all through

Half Life 2 orange box thing.

Bought it for something like £3 on Steam, and never played it. Looked like a rubbish game.

These two posts really surprised me - these are pinnacles of PC gaming, two of the most awesome box sets in my personal history and, I don't doubt, many others' too, and it sounds like you've taken a cursory glance (after buying them :confused) and discarded them out of hand. Totally unjustified floccinaucinihilipilification (you owe me a fiver, Dex :p) and a huge missed opportunity on your part.

Of course that's just my opinion, it doesn't make it right, but you've not even tried the games! How can you have a valid opinion based on nothing but conjecture?
