Discuss all of the games you regret buying.
Currently, I regret buying Dungeons and Dragons Tactics for the PSP. The multiplayer is lame, which is the very core of D&D. It's basically a watered down version of the game that you play on your own. Wow. Amazing.
games based on movies...especially spiderman... _|-|O"

The first Spiderman game on the PS1 was kickass.
"Blockbuster Exclusive" Clayfighter 63 1/3 : Sculptor's Cut (N64)
Mercenaries
it was more worth a rental
World of Warcraft. That ate my life and GPA, and it started to numb my brain.
Neverwinter Nights. Clunkiest piece of shit I've ever played.
Mischief Makers. It gave me headaches for some reason.
Omega Boost.
luminous arc. so boring i traded it in the next day.
>>68
If you're talking about Gamestop, they have a 7-day money back guarantee. You get your money back, full price.
I'm not sure if other chains use the same system.
EB Games have the same system. It's an amusing thing because if you don't work, almost all games take less than 7 hours to play through. A hikikomori's wet dream, I'd say. Regrettably I have to work, so the time I get for playing games is commute time plus 3 hours a week. So often that drags it out past the deadline.
Of course I meant days there. 7 hours? Maybe DS games. Phantom Hourglass took only slightly longer than 7 hours.
fight night 2 or if it was called 2k2 on ps2
why put horrible bad rapmusic in a EA game
same tunes over and over its horrible
also u can fight someone and win super easy
then when they are champions they r like 5times better than
when they were ranked 2nd in the world...
horrible game
2k2... like 2200?
>>37
I did that too. Granted it was only $5, but I suppose it taught me shit like that is cheap for a reason. But then again I managed to get the original Dragon Warrior for $5 as well, so it doesn't always apply...
Other than that the only game I regret buying is Xenosaga, I had heard it was good and I found it really cheap, but I couldn't stand it. It may as well have been a movie with all the cut-scenes it had...
-Siren: I was going through a survival horror phase and bought it just because it was one. This game is so stupidly bad.
-Final Fantasy 8, 9, 10 and tactics: Bought them because I liked 7 so I bought everything that said "Final Fantasy". I hated all of them.
>>75 Tactics is the best of the series, in my opinion.
For me it's Crystal Chronicles (for the co-op, single player sucks), then Tactics. Can't stand any of the numbered ones although VII was okkaaaaaay.
World in Conflict
it doesnt really bode well in LAN games compared to Company of Heroes
Sim City DS - what the hell!?
maybe if I could, y'know, see the buildings!?
also, since you couldn't build powerline over anything but dirt, it was slightly confusing to figure out their rules for powering things. plus that giant talking head was annoying...
One game to rule them all... in the craptastic contest would be Magna Carta: Tears of Blood, for the PS2. I was sold on the artbook, and all of the hype behind the game MC: shadow of Avalanche in Korea. They tried for something new in the battle system, which rarely ever works, and hired the worst voice crew that ever lived. The U.S. OP theme sucked shit compared to the original song used, and if you pit that with its terrible 4 minute a scene loading time, I'd say that makes for the worst game ever. Technical and Artisticlly (I haven't even touched the poor RT graphics), it was terrible.
Xenosaga wasn't that bad: It was the only consistant storyboard worth following in a long time, as far as video games was concerned. The only bad part about it was Xeno3... Half way through the game you could tell when they stared rushing to the end (funding was cut). It made for a crappy end after all of that time and money I spent, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't do it again.
sonic for the 360.
on a next gen console you shouldnt be able to sink through the scenery ever!
id love to see the name they would come up for it. the failcast 2?
I wish Sega would make a new system :(
I don't. I wish all consoles were the same system so that console fanboys would finally shut up, and developers could focus on making the games instead of deciding which platform the game will be exclusive to.
And Sega making a new system will? ;-)
No, because then gaming would be a monopoly. They could charge whatever the hell they feel like for games, controllers, accessories, or anything.
I see the consoles as checking and balancing each other.
>>92
If the system were open it would not be a monopoly.
Driving Emotion Type S
>>92
How did Sony justify a $600 price tag on the PS3, then? Sure seems like they're charging whatever the hell they want to me.
uhhh... because it's a friggin super computer, with a substantial hard drive, built in wi-fi and blue tooth, and blu-ray? hell, I've heard of scientists using PS3's in-lieu of more expensive super computers...
Who cares if it's a "super" computer, the point is to be able to play games. If you have to pay more for a console than for a PC, the PC is clearly a better option.
Except with a PC, you have to worry about drivers, patches, hardware, operating system, hard drive space, blah blah blah.
I was just saying, the reason the PS3 was so expensive is because of the things i mentioned above.
That was launch, how long has the PS3 been out for now?
fuck NDS
>>98
Because hard drive space isn't an issue with consoles. That's why there are like three kinds of PS3, each differing in the amount of hard drive space.
Oblivion for me (I know, I know, odd choice). Meh, just got really boring... Plus, it took me a whole lotta money to get it to run on my computer.
>>102
It's an artificial issue. What console game needs to have 80 GB of disk space to run? It's not installing anything.
That's bullshit. Some console games recently have had installed parts.
I regret buying Driver for the PlayStation. I paid $50 for that damn game, then took it home and couldn't actually play it, because I couldn't pass the driving test at the beginning. The slalom got me every time.
Obviously, the game was intended for an audience more skilled than myself. :(
>>64
pre-ordering neverwinter nights was the second worst thing i've ever done as a gamer. gather some items, kill some poeple, find the key to the boss, help people along the way rinse and repeat for the next 4 acts of the game. gg n00bs. i also have to say that Diablo 2 was a bad choice of game. the first two years of my high school career went into that game, then i got my acct deleted tear meph bots ftl. but i'd have to say the worst choice as far as gamer was chex quest. yeah i actually sent in the upc's for that pice of shit. didn't even make it to the first enemy before i walked away from it.
Unlimited Saga, which I bought for the trailer for FFX-2.
I should also add that FFX-2 is somewhere on the list of games I regret buying, but US is by far the worst.
> neverwinter nights
I couldn't get through it without triggering a bug that caused all townspeople to become permanently hostile.
What the hell?!
Thankfully the expansions were at least passable.
> Diablo 2
You and me both, brother.
> chex quest. yeah i actually sent in the upc's for that pice of shit.
I think you've just done won the thread.
> chex quest. yeah i actually sent in the upc's for that pice of shit
you can download that for free at the-underdogs - if you want to?
> Thankfully the expansions were at least passable.
I found the main game passable.
On the other hand, one of the expansions had a puzzle where the levers wouldn't move until you installed the patch to fix it (it was some levers right after a puzzle where you would teleport between platforms, or something like that.)
Hit and miss on some of those titles for me. I enjoyed MOHAA. The other MOH games, was rather disappointing. I looked into the new one, can't remember the bloody name, but you need a 4ghz processor. WTF EA! not everyone buys fucking alienware for fucks sake! FU EA! Even with my new computer, I CAN'T PLAY IT! I can play everything else, just not the new one. Back to the topic at hand (tldr?) CS for xbx and Sonic Heros. Fuck... WASTE OF MONEY ON that friggan sonic game. I had fun with Sonic adventure on my DC and Sonic Adventure 2, but this one... I hate it. I paid full price. (I know, I'm a sucker) Final Fantasy; CC, I enjoyed the multiplayer. When my friends were friends and now I can't find anyone with a GBA or GBA;SP to play it with. I know one person who would like to play it with me, but he needs to get a GBA. Another game is... hell.. any PC FPS games with large-scale multi-player. Cheaters killing cheaters, with honest players caught in the fucking middle. I now play them in single player only. As for the N64? Perfect Dark. The gameplay was great. The framerate drove me nuts.
>>89 I like the idea, but yes, monopoly ect. ect. ect. Besides, with Sony wanting to keep fans by "wanting to be unique" compared to their competition, (IE "our versions of games are only slightly different from the same games on other consoles"), they will most likely appose such an idea. FYI, I'm not bashing Sony Fans.
>>66
probably gave you headaches because its crraazzzyy. <3 that game..
Final Fantasy XII.
I probably would have liked it if it didn't have the massive failure of the combat system. Hey guys, so like. I can pretty much watch you fight? great.
About a year ago, I did more review-reading and comparing than usual before deciding which "newish" Sonic game to buy, and so I bought Sonic Heroes for the PS2...
Needless to say, I should have bought the Mega Collection (which featured ports of the Sega Genesis games).
Dark Cloud 2. Not only did I give my character the faggy pink clothes, I also can't beat the first boss.
haven't played it yet - although i do own it. after a few levels of Dark Cloud 1 i started to get a little bored of the same old. last time I left, i think I was... at the beach\\undersea dungeon? I guess i just dislike having to level my weapons in any game to do well. Disgaea is different, they don't evolve, and if you don't wanna level them, you can just buy a better one.
It was great. I used to only be able to eat a sandwich with one hand while playing an FF game, but now I could use both hands.
i can't wait to get into FFXII. i really like the new gambit system. it's not like you can't stop the action and set things if you really want to, or take over a different character. most of the time you don't want to be looking out for them anyway, I'm glad they can attack on their own. It's like a single player FFXI, except now your team mates will actually listen to you.
Soulcalibur Legends... It was not for the lulz, but for my brother. I was doing it wrong. A failure is I.
;_;
hold out, 121... Brawl is coming... THE MESSIAH IS COMING!!! AND SOON ALL THE UNBELIEVERS WILL BE SMOTEN!
wait a minute... where the hell are you buying a Gaming PC for less than 600 bucks?
Make it yourself and it can easily cost under $600.
ugh, but it's so much work...
I find the work within bounds of a reasonable sunday morning task, my issue is that almost every time I buy a stack of hardware, one part doesn't work properly and I end up having to walk back to the store to get a new one. Due to this I am becoming less and less willing to build my own computers, although what I do now is still choose the parts but pay the fee for the shop to put it together (then they find things wrong with it, and swap on the spot. Much less fuckaround. Although you can't get them to install the OS, unless you happen to want to run Windows.)
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood. nuff said
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood
i cant think of one good thing about this game
not even the girls are all that pretty...
the young boy [forgot the name]
and even the main guy looks better than the female chars
I wonder how many people have said that so far...
Wow, is Magna Carta that bad? I thought it looked ok. Hmm, I almost bought it. What exactly makes it a bad game?
7 Blades.
Although only for £2.50.
North American version of Harvest Moon DS. Glitchy piece of shit.
Although I suppose I should expect glitch and bug filled games from Natsume at this point.
>>132
I liked the first Harvest Moon, but have refrained from trying any of the others due to their reputation for buggy releases.
i wish i had Harvest Moon for the Snes, but i'd never actively buy it on Ebay. damn you pawn shops! convince people to sell their awesome SNES games for bottom of the barrel prices!!!
final fantasy 12
reasons why
1.i dont like the english voice actors
2.i dont like the main guy Vaan
3.i dont like the license board system
4.i dont like the gambit system
5.i dont like the big,skilltrees u have to go trough when you want to use a skill,magic,item
6.i dont like the story ...too much nonsense
7.i dont like the music that much i think its the worst ff music
Hi, I'm >>135
I also hate life, puppies, kittens, sex, and sunshine.
I even hate Squeaks, Moot, W.T. Snacks, and Chuck Norris.
>>136 so i cant say bad things about final fantasy?
i used to like square back on NES and SNES ff7 was ok but it was far too easy and i even liked ff9
im not a fanboy...and i did not like ff12
i liked ff9 as well. you weren't saying bad things about Final fantasy in general or anything, you were just giving your opinion why didn't like FF12. I was just saying that, of course you wouldn't like FF12 - you don't even like Chuck Norris.
Final fantasy is the Godwin point of gamer discussions. Especially FF7, which did suck hard, indeed.
Are you 10? Seriously. The gambit system was fucking AMAZING. I didn't even like 12 and I'll say that I loved the gambit system.
shaq fu for the SNES. it gives you blisters
I love final fantasy as if it were a part of my own soul, and many even call me a squaretoku (pun intended), but I really...really hate Crystal Cronicles...
Crystal Chronicles and Tactics are the only two FF games I will acknowledge.
Haven't played the Tactics on PSP yet though. Is it good?
It's the same damn game.
Is it? Why did they bother releasing it then, when there is already a PS1 emulator?
$$$
because they wanted to re-release it it something PORTABLE? the PSP is like a handheld PS1, or did you not understand this? Why make more PS1 copies when they can rerelease it for a system they'd actually like to promote. Actually, it's about time FFT got some recognition. still don't have a PSP tho.
Why buy FFT on PSP when we were already able to play it before they released it, is all I'm saying.
because some people weren't around for it the first time, bro.
capcom fighting jam
HORRIBLE GAME
I regret getting Enteral Saga. I played it twice, and I hate it. I thought it would be fun D: I guess I'm wrong
>>150 Those people could use the emulated version on PSP. The new one appears to only add extra FMV, which adds nothing to a game.
>>153 But what about the newer classes?
And...
And...
Those are about the only new things I can think of.
FF:Mystical Quest and Biohazard for the SNES. I'm a bad man.
makai kingdom PAL version
la pucelle PAL version
i cant stand the horrible english voiceactors
im sure EU use the allready translated US versions of the games
but to make it more interesting THEY REMOVE THE ORIGINAL VOICE
thank you
Breath of fire 4.
I regret buying assassins creed. It was WAAAAY to repetitive for my tastes.
