Forums - Sales - Which games of your collection Did you regret Buying?

Mirson said:

Knights in the Nightmare - easy, repetitive and boring all around.

Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier - dull combat, lame story with dialogue that loses its charm after boob joke #100.

WCW/NWO Thunder - incredibly easy; you can beat your opponents with just one move!!

Final Fantasy X-2 - awful, girly dialogue, and it's very easy.

Kingdom Hearts Re-Chain of Memories - laughable dialogue and annoying battle system.

Shadow of the Colossus - terrible framerate, frustrating controls and very dull.

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Oh God, this game was huge disappointment. The story was awful and had some of the worst plottwists I've ever seen. The Drebin points made the game very easy and didn't compel you to conserve ammo; if you ran out of ammo during a boss fight, you can buy some by pressing start. Lastly, there were too many cutscenes and very little gameplay. The game is only 4-5 hours when you skip all the cutscenes.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII - Dialogue was nothing but gothic poetry awfulness. Gameplay was very easy; all you had to is press x. Zack even ran to the enemy by himself! The DMW was incredibly annoying especially when it occurred every five seconds during a boss fight; it felt like the game was the one fighting the boss.

Star Ocean IV: The Last Hope - Terrible dungeon designs, awful voice-acting, weak characters & story, and annoying when you had to swap discs.


arnt we just a big bag of negativity... but KH: CoM was terrible

This is truly turning into a hate thread but I cant understand why I am seeing madworld so much I loved the black and white over the top brutality



A bunch, yet for some reason I keep them around.

Games I really regret:

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion - I gave up on this game only a few hours in.  The guards start chasing after you for the tiniest of things, leading to either death or jail.  Yeah, you can steal a horse and ride away, but don't you dare get off the thing or it'll run away!  For a game all about exploration and freedom, it sure spent enough time harassing me.  Eh, I mainly bought it to show off my brand new PC at the time anyway.

God of War: Chains of Olympus - It's basically a shorter, uglier, stripped down version of its console brethren, with gimped controls due to the lack of a second analog stick and only two shoulder buttons.  A better name would've been God of War Lite.  They should've tried to do something different with the series ala Killzone: Liberation rather than simply try to shoehorn a console game onto a handheld.

Jak X: Combat Racing - The Jak games are some of my favorite on the ps2, but this attempt to turn the franchise into an arcade racer didn't go so well. 

Korg DS-10 - I know it's not really a game, but I regret buying it for DS because the sequencer was far more limited than I thought when reading about it online.  On top of that, they announced the DS-10+ right after I bought it. =/

Madworld - Bought it on launch day and didn't get into it at all.  I really don't know why I bothered.

No More Heroes - It's a button masher that replaces button spamming with waggle.  The style is great and the bosses are hilarious, but it's a chore having to grind through dozens of enemies to get to each boss, doing little more than *swing, swing, swing, A*.

Rogue Galaxy - Random battles in a real time action RPG?  Wtf?  And on top of that, save points were often few and far between.  Seeing the game over screen after spending over an hour trying to get through a dungeon sucks!  The story was typical Level 5 nonsensicalness too.

Games I kinda regret:

Dragonball Z: Budokai 2 - I had an itch for Dragonball and bought this on a whim.  Never really got into it, but it was cheap, so eh.

Resistance 2 - The singleplayer was pretty enjoyable, but it lost much of what made the original Resistance what it is.  The multiplayer was a chaotic mess that wasn't even worth ten minutes of my time.  Overall, the game just felt rushed.  They were trying to do way too much (60 player online, separate 8 player coop campaign) in far too little time (<2 year dev time).  I'm still kinda glad I have it though, if only to bridge the story between 1 and a hopefully much improved 3.

Way of the Samurai 2 - A let down compared to the first.  The game was stretched out for too long, artificially inflating the story with "jobs" you would do between story events.  The first game was rather short, but the story and atmosphere brought everything together nicely, and given the game's branching story paths, it had excellent replayability.  The sequel had the same basic gameplay design, but they somehow made it far less fun.

Way of the Samurai 3 - See above, only now they have you looking for an old lady's underwear!  Should've learned my lesson with the second.  Still a fun romp, though, when I'm out of things to play.

World Destruction League: Thunder Tanks - Made by 3D0, it was supposed to be the successor to Battletanx on ps2.  The game had its fun parts, but the tank controls were changed for the worse, and many of the best modes from Battletanx and Battletanx: Global Assault were removed.

Aside from those, I've been generally pleased with my game purchases.  I usually only buy games I really want to buy, and usually know plenty about them going into the purchase.

Hey, 9 out of 162 isn't bad at all. Of course this doesn't include my SNES & N64 games. The only N64 game I regret buying is Yoshi's Story; I was expecting it to be just as fantastic as Yoshi's Island, but boy was I wrong.

Edit: Forgot about Rogue Galaxy, so that's 10 out of 162.



I can only think of one: Prince of Persia (PS3)

Although i did not hate the game like many did, I was really disapointed by the repetitive aspect of the game. Even if I payed only 40$ for it, i still regret it. Having played the trilogy, which is fantastic, I was sure that this game would excellent. Overall, a pretty average game.



Around the Network

Resistance 2 and COD : Modern Warfare 2.



Who's the best Pac, Nas, and Big. Just leave it to that.

PLAYSTATION®3 is the future.....NOW.......B_E_L_I_E_V_E

Slaughterhouse Is The Sh*t  .... NOW ........ B_E_L_I_E_V_E

That's a good point. But in my entire life I never returned a game. I've always been really prudent when I buy a game because i don't have a lot of money, but I really like my game collection, even if it's pretty small. I just prefer to keep the game in my collection than return it to the store. I must also say that when I start a game, i'm never disapointed. It's always when i'm more advanced that I start to regret buying it, and by that time I can't get a full refund, so I choose to keep it anyway.

 

Sorry for mistakes, english is not my primary language.



My list includes Fight Night Round 4 and Madden 08. I realise sport games die quickly so now I just rent them or buy them cheap. Otherwise, I regret buying my Wii w/ Red Steel, that made me realize single player games for me last too short although i grew up a multiplayer guy, I liked Zelda and SSBB, thats about it.

So go 360! No offense to Wii owners, but I'm kinda tired of mario games just coming out (MK: Wii, SMG, NSMB: Wii), I hope the Wiimote could do something awesome but hopefully wm will do better in the future ill consider again!



Above I'm a proud Gran Turismo fan, not a Sony fanboy, and now a proud 360 owner, but sharing xbox live accts ATM

End of 2009 Predictions (made Jan 1, 2009): My predictions were pretty accurate, the 360 was over and the Wii was just under.

Wii: 65 mil (yea I'm crazy) 360: 35 mil (its getting there) PS3: 30 mil (the slim better do well)

End of 2010 Predictions (made Jan 7, 2010):

Wii: 81 mil  360: 47 mil PS3: 45 mil


Buying these three games on 360: Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect 2. The best versions are on PC.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

I regret buying Borderlands on Steam for $10.19.  I just can't seem to get in to that game.
