Not gettting the chance to play Legend of Dragoon that much. My friend let me borrow it and I took advantage of the game. I criticized it because of its graphics. Maybe if I played the game at an earlier age, I would have played the game more. Regardless of that, I should of played that game a lot more. I know realized how much interesting the storyline is.

I know you are probably tired of people taking issue with this post, but I'm going to anyway.

You didn't like Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem?  Why not?  You only paid $10, and didn't think it was worth it?  Seriously?

Ugh, DEFINITELY.

I looked at this thread title and thought, "that's silly, why would you regret playing a game", then it hit me, the memory that had been buried for years. I was seduced by the excellent previous versions on the PC and made the fatal error of succumbing without nary a playtest or reading a review......It was horrible; physics that belonged in elastic world, crap player models and i couldn't figure out why the game smeared vasoline on the inside of my TV screen, or where on earth they put the gameplay. I can't even bring myself to mention it's name but this game taught me a first brutal gaming lesson. Needless to say i didn't permit it to defile the cartridge slot of my N64 for very long and it was forever removed from my house not long after. I'm still haunted though by the poor sap who may have picked it up after me, discounted in the 2nd hand section at EB........ and he probably thought he was getting a bargain.

Now you are going to have to tell me the name of this game.  Or at least give me a better hint.

No, I didn't like Eternal Darkness.

The story was unengaging and I didn't find interest in it. The gameplay was pretty boring as well. The combat was archaic to say the least and I didn't find myself in awe or enjoyment of anything. I finished it because I didn't want my money to go to waste, but after I did complete it, I left it abandoned in a cardboard box, never to be used again.

People kept going on about how great it was but I found it boring and uninspiring. Nostalgia of that 2002 game is blurring their vision because besides the Sanity effects, it was pointless for me to play. I could've bought something else with my $10, so yes it seriously was not worth it.

Don't mistake people having fun with a game you found un-fun as "nostalgia [...] blurring their vision". I played Eternal Darkness again a few weeks ago and it was still fantastic. I don't take issue with you not liking it, we all have different tastes, but don't go so far as to call my taste into question.

I agree with this.  I am playing Eternal Darkness at the moment for the first time since when i first got it and it's still great.  Sure the graphics have aged (it did start as a N64 game) and the control is a little clunky but it's original and still holds up remarkably well. Admittedly, and this was also true at the time of it's release, it's not everyone's cup of tea.

No need to take offense. I wasn't insulting anyone. It was just an occasion where  I thought people were discussing "yea, I used to play that!", but then when they go back to play said game, it was was underwhelming.  It is kind of a "you have to be there thing" where a kid wouldn't see how good Ocarina of Time is now because of the graphics or something, but if here was there in 1998 he/she may have loved it.

It was weird for me, because I wasn't sure if these people and I were playing  the same game. Everyone loved it, BUT me, and I am usually down to try almost any type of game. Guess it just was too little too late or something. I don't know, I just didn't like it.

It was too frustrating after a while. I took a long break from the game and then came back months later. Besides the battling, other features of the game just weren't like BK1, and I liked those. Saki wasn't to cool yet either....I need to invest more time into it in order to better understand the characters, but if the gameplay is this....frustrating, I may not want to again.
