Forums - Gaming Discussion - [Quick Question] Who here ever bought a game base on hype?

What game was it and do you regret buying that game?

 

Call of Duty (not to bash the series) 

Max Payne 3

Borderland 3

and there were a few more, but I can't seem to remember at the moment.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.

Pokemon X.

But I really don't regret it. I still need to go through Victory Road and beat the Elite 4, but so far it's a really fun game. But it's not something I would call amazing.

Heroes of Ruin for Nintendo 3DS. It was from SE and was meant to be a handheld Diablo.



Project X Zone

Bf 3

Borderlands... A friend of mine hyped it a LOT and it kinda stuck on me. I bought Borderlands 1 and 2... I regret that decision to this day...

Demon's souls... i know shocking but i couldn't pass the 2nd boss since the game was extremely difficult and at that time i was discovering the genres for games and knew by then that RPG wasn't for me.
