I felt betrayed after playing it for a couple minutes...

Assassin´s Creed 4



The first game? Mortal Kombat II for Sega Genesis. It was vastly inferior to the SNES counterpart and still cost $70 at Toys R' Us at the time. Seventy. Freaking. Dollars.

The latest game might be The Evil Within for PS3. I'm about 3 hours in and I'm not sure if I haven't given it enough of a chance or what, but the game isn't hooking me like I thought it would. And I had great hopes for it, too. *sigh* Maybe I'll give it another shot someday.



It'll be awhile before I figure out how to do one of these. :P 

Don't know the first one, but I can list some for you.

Lego Indiana Jones 2 - Very much inferior to the first one. Tries to have huge, open levels and it just comes off as boring and tedious. Doesn't help that they make the whole game based off the worst film in the series.

Dead Space 3 - The worst one in the trilogy. Tries too hard to be something it's not, and ultimately underwhelms the entire game. There are also very many instances of poor game design that just make it annoying to play.

Batman Arkham Origins - Pretty much the same as the above except the issue isn't that it's trying to be something it's not, but it's trying too hard to clone its predecessor. Only the story really makes it stand out, and the rest is fairly unremarkable.

I regretted buying Final Fantasy X.... That game to me started the downfall of the series when Enix merged with Square. Here is hoping that FF XV will bring back the series to its former glory.

I regret buying Sonic Colors. People said it was one of the best 3D Sonic games, but what I got was a 2D platformer with way too many gimmicks, many bugs and awful controlls.



First disappointment? Not sure which was first, but one of these "bargain bin" NES titles from Toys R Us. (I was convinced it was better to buy three $20 games than one $50 game, in this case TMNT2.) The disappointments were: Time Lord, Rocket Ranger, and Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum. All those games sucked for different reasons. And the Dash Galaxy theme loops so often I will never forget it.

My gf wants me to play Sonic Colors soon v.v it looks interesting but I'm not 100% if I'll like it What gimmicks does it have?



Generally, I really enjoy most of the games I buy, but I play it pretty safe. But someone did mention Sticker Star, which I totally agree with. Also, Super Paper Mario. Basically, I just wanted them to be like one of the first two and I really hated both of them.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Do a lot of Paper Mario fans hate SPM? It was actually my first Paper Mario and I loved it XD though, in my understanding the Paper Mario games tend to be RPGs and SPM didn't really give much of an RPG vibe at all.
