"Triple A" games you wasted money on.

Oh yes!
Forgot that one, I must have left it well over a year waiting for patches and prior to the DLC which opened up more systems for trading I had to cheat in the parts to do the URV forge and wharf. It was virtually impossible otherwise. Funnily enough when I played through earlier this year I quite enjoyed it, such that going back to X3-TC to finish the Hub Plot in my maxed out Osaka seemed a bit tame.

The "Subject" is "How many people have been conned"? correlating the data and looking for patterns so we don't get fooled again. Like someone pointed out, "You might not like stealth games" and i think he is right, ONLY stealth game series i liked was Splinter Cell. No more Metal Gear Solid VI.

The same for me,Loved Bad company 2,BF3 but BF4s single player,Hardline and Battlefront were utter crap.
They just dont make decent games anymore imo,its all about the fancy graphics they rely on to pull people in.
Game play,stability & optimization seems to be an after thought.
Why?

Vanguard. So much potential wasted n an engine that wouldn't even run on an i5 year later just before they closed the servers. And ran at around 8 fps on an Athlon 64 3200 at launch.
Age of Conan is a close second. The noob area was one of he best in any mmo i had played up until that point. The rest though was a desert of content...

Mirror's Edge Catalyst.
I know the reviews weren't great and I should've known better, but I was a big fan of the original and I figured I could forgive the flaws like I did the first time.
It's very pretty, but it just doesn't have the magic and replayability of the first + the story is way too short.
Just glad I waited until it was at least £20, though should've held on until it was a tenner odd.
Yeah, ROTTR was a great prequel/sequel with fantastic visuals and good gameplay etc.
Guess it's not everyone's cuppa though.

I didnt crash once...
You sure you overclock is stable?
Yup tried default clocks and all. It was a CTD with some error message, not a hard lock, blue screen etc.
Seemed to be a small number of players encountering the same crashes as me. The game crashed so often, even more than batman arkham knight
An older one but I was extremely butt-flustered at the state of Test Drive Unlimited 2 on release. It was just a mess, the unskippable cutscenes were atrocious and doing anything besides the core gameplay felt like a chore. The graphics were pretty terrible for a PC game at the time too.
I put a lot of hours into it because the actual racing was quite good, but then there was an update and all my data went missing, great.

Only really Watchdogs here. Maybe GTA4 because of how it performed, but still not too bad. I've actually avoided most AAA games for a while - despite how much I loved COD on console, I've avoided it for PC. Same for Mafia 3, I played 2 on my PC through game sharing on Steam but I've not bought anything on release for a good few years now.
DX:MKD
Sadly played too long to get a Steam refund. What a chore. Eastern european hubs really do nothing for me, and why does it start you out in broad daylight? It's like they don't have a clue how a DX game should feel. Also, dialogue was bland and laborious. Every NPC loved the sound of their own voice. Horrible, souless game that I couldn't bring myself to push on with.
It's been a long time since I've bought an AAA title and got value for money. AAA is just a synonym for franchised, zero originality, console tripe these days.
