Basically the title sums it up, but what games do you truly regret buying. Im not talking about their in the back log. Im talking about a game you bought played for like an hour and realize that you truly do not like this game. I have only one I can thing of at the moment.

The witness
Thats right gaf I said it i regret buying the witness. I have but about two hours into this game and barely scratched the surface but I don't think I will play it again. Its just so god damn hard and it makes me feel like an idiot. I thought I would love this game because I like puzzle games like portal and that one where you change dimensions. The line puzzles don't just do it for me and after about 20 minutes of playing this game I start to get a giant ass head ache. I will give it credit because I played the opening while high and my jaw dropped from how friggen beautiful this game it.

So gaf what game do you truly regret buying and why?

I regret impulse buying Super Meat Boy for the sole reason that it was 40 cents, with no intention of ever actually playing the game, it was just too cheap not to buy.

Street Fighter V

I don't fully regret it, because I know the game will get better over time, but right now, I feel like I got ripped off, big time.

Watch_Dogs from the very first moment I tried to drive a car. Terrible vehicle handling, terrible radio stations. In an open-world driving game, no fucking way.

Spore.

Actually I'm not sure if I completely regret buying it, but it was nowhere near the game I wanted it to be.

Buying Evolve at full price last year was my biggest regret. I still enjoyed my time with it to some extent but it wasn't all that great.

Atm, XCOM 2.

Stability & performance are simply unacceptable.

I'm sure there's a great game in there. I just don't have access to it in spite of having more than capable hardware.

Gone Home. I had to hide it in a folder in my steam library so I stopped getting angry every time I saw I owned it. Lifetime movie in audiolog format. Ugh.

Helldivers, was disappointed with it and PSN shit the bed the few times I tried to play it with friends in a different region. Everytime I turn it on I goes through the whole "what has happened since you've been away" thing and then I get the games credits...

D4, bought it because it was on sale and I felt sorry for Swery that it bombed, when I finally got round to playing it I hated and its probably for me one of the worst games i've played. It added to my misery that it was GwG a couple of months later

I'll also add: DMC4, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and God of War 3 - didn't like all 3 of them, safe to say that type of game is just not for me. I did like God of War Chains of Olympus (PSP) and Heavenly Sword though, oh well.

Don't questions usually have question marks!!!

Most recently? Dragon Age Inquisition. I had never played a DA game before and the world just feels hollow and the combat doesn't have any weight in my opinion. Not my thing, but I can see its appeal. Could've spent the money on something probably more my taste, though.

Recently, Just Cause 3. The game was really disappointing in a lot of ways. Posted about it in the OT a while back. And wasn't crazy about the communication with the community for a long time.

Elder scrolls online, I thought it'd be able to get into it because of the first person action but I just can't do the enemies rrspawning over and over. I guess I just don't like mmo's.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

So disappointed in that game. It's an RPG without EXP or levels. You just use stickers for everything… So why waste stickers fighting normal enemies when the reward is just more stickers, or coins that I would just use to buy stickers?

Without levels, you're equally as powerful against everything as long as you have stickers. So just run past all the enemies and use your stickers on the boss fight.

Made for a really boring game.

Even worse, I bought the digital version because I had credit leftover on the Shop. So I couldn't trade the game in :/

The barebones Marvel VS Capcom 3 both had a retail, disc update with far more content announced 4 months later, and I didn't find it nearly as fun as MVC2.

As far as I'm concerned, Tatsunoko VS Capcom is Marvel vs Capcom 3. What a game that was.

Over the years many but most recent is Tearaway Unfolded.

Reviews and word of mouth were so good but the game was so mediocre, it just felt empty, in places there wasn't even music, I was genuinely shocked....it just lacked all the heart Little Big Planet had.

Skyrim. Repetitive quests and atrocious combat made me think that it was my worst purchase ever. And I bought it at launch.

I tried to like it. I really tried. 80 hours of pain and torture.

And the first game I ever bought with my own money because it looked good at the time, Glover. What a piece of shit game, but I still get nostalgia for that handy man.

Hi, I'm nortonff. I spend my life going into threads to say that I don't care about the topic of the thread. It's a really good use of my time.
Driveclub - I think I played it only three times.

The only game I've truly regretted is Huniepop. Thankfully you can delete games now so I don't have to have that shitstain of a game in my library anymore.

All good games, but games that I lost interest in rather quickly do to different reasons.

I almost never regret buying a game because I tend to only buy things that I know I will like.

However the one curve ball in this for me was Gears of War 3. I loved the first two and wasn't interested in the third at all based on what I had seen. I can't stand the MP in those games but I love the campaigns and Gears 3's looked very meh.

On launch day I ended up caving and figured that since I loved the other two then surely I will love this one as well. Boy was I wrong.

I absolutely loathe that campaign. It felt like the most by the number Gears experience imaginable, which was incredibly disappointing after Gears 2, which I consider one of the best shooter campaigns ever made.

I guess GTA5 on the Xbox One is a close second. I already owned the 360 version and bought the One version the day it came out in hopes of playing with my friends. Unfortunately that is the only damn game that refuses to work well with my connection and I was never able to do so. After trying to connect for a few weeks I uninstalled the damn thing and haven't played it since. Obviously the main game is still great but now the PC version is out which is the only one that I would play if I decided to play GTA5. I basically wasted my money.

The Force Unleashed. I played the demo at least 50 times. It was so good. I was so genuinely hyped for the game. And... god. What a shitshow.
