Ever purchase a game SO BAD that you couldn't finish it?

If YES, explain: 188 89.95%
 
Nope. 21 10.05%
 
Total:209

Not beating a game isn't really a big deal. There are a lot of games I loved and couldn't finish.

Anyways, there is 1 game I bought that is so bad I couldn't start it.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance.

I bought it because I didn't have a PS1 and everyone said how good Final Fantasy Tactics were. Well, the Advance version isn't a port, it is a piece of crap. Overcomplicated, and everything moves so slow it'll put you to sleep before you kill your first badguy.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

killzone 2, although the gameplay experience was great, I got headaches form too much good looking graphics

I'd have to say Kane and Lynch the controls were SO shitty that I couldn't stomach it.

final fantasy XIII: terrible game, not a jrpg at all, more like a TPS with no guns at all

and Red Faction Guerrilla : mars is simply empty, there are couple of buildings here and there and this game s suppose to be about destruction, pst

Last Remnant on 360...

For FK sakes I have almost broken the disk...

How can you play a turn base RPG and your battle options are random...

OMFG, how many time are you in a long as battle with no save in sight and you whole god dam party is dead... PLEASE GAWD show me the rez option or heal my party member..

My turn comes along and I get

- ATk (strong)
-def
-buff
-atk ( weak)

over and over again,

bosses that spam super after super, one mother f'ing boss that seems to atk like 6 times in a row.

-atk-atk-super-heal-atk- end turn he gets to do a mega atk...

my turn, atk inputs done, click ok, guess what before we can hit he hit's us LOL

if the fighting options were like FF 3 ( VI), the battle menu was perfect and there was the options:

-ATK ( Def if we pressed to the right or left)
-MAGIC ( skill)
-Item use

it would be easy to plan a strategy, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! we get random menus. Even the achievement system sucks monkey balls, you could finish the game and have nearly 0 GS. They want you to battle these godly dragons that have ridiculous amount of HP and the option to hit a gazillion amount of times.

Oh here's an other thing I hate:

most special atks even the damn regular soldier mobs can do this, they cast silence,poison ..you know regular rpg debuffs, well in this game those fking spells do massive dmg on top of debuffing you and the mighty "curse spell". That spell alone makes you want to just say F YOU, hit's all party member and each turn before each individual members hit by curse have a chance of instant KO, if your party leader falls then the 4 other member turn to butch fight and they can't atk.

The game could of been "good" if they would fix some of these issues but I just couldn't do it, then a year later the fact i had 0 GS on a game that clearly was made for people that love punishment, i gave it an other run and I don't think I want to see it again. Bad thing, EB will only give me 0.75$ for it =/

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidge Raaaaaaaaaaaaacer!!!

Seriously I loved ridge racer on the PS1 and I naively figured that ridge racer for the PS3 would at least be half decent. As it turned out though it's one of the worst racing games I have ever played in the last 2 decades.




 

 

Bloodrayne. Oh that was bad.

Yeap quite a few. Some are still in my collection.

Suikoden Tactics - I buy everything that says Suikoden on it and usually enjoy it, but I felt this was a stinker of a SRPG

Any version of Final Fantasy 2 - Not the FF2 US version. I am talking about the FF2 NES versions on any collection. This Final Fantasy is just crap compared to the rest. I can never get through the first area and I just give up! I wish it was just standard affair like FF1 was. Craptastic.

Far Cry Vengeance - Since I paid almost nothing for it It's not a big loss. This game is so bad that the first cut scene looks like It was rendered on N64 hardware. The controls are OK, but the graphics are such an eye sore and the AI is so bad It's hard to play more then 10 minutes at a time.

Various 360 JRPGs

The Last Remnant being the biggest casualty. Even with the game installed to HDD the frame rate dips so bad, and I find the whole game in general mediocre. Luckily my wife enjoyed the game quite a bit, so she ended up getting 900/1000 gamescore and made the purchase still worth while.

Theres other games I haven't beaten in my collection, but none besides those that I could think I'll never touch again but will remain in my collection still.

My condolences to your wife, to get 900 GS she must of endured a lot,

 

I asume the 100 GS missing would be from completing all the Quest line for the lady at the starting to give the completion of all quest log.

 

I salute your wife ( RESPECT)
