As far as un-fixable regrets go, not getting into Tribes: Ascend when it was hot.
And not having been more active in MAG. I only played a few matches when Sony announced the EOL of the game.
For me it was
Chromehounds; and not playing more of it while I had the chance.
The servers are gone. The closest fan revival project
M.A.V isn’t working out the way I’d like. I miss it.
... Giving up too early on Phantasy Star Online ...
My favourite game of all time. They never had online part for gamecube in Australia; but I split-screened that for hundreds of hours. I practically
came while playing Universe online properly; but I only kept it subscribed for a single month because I didn’t have an income. I tried a fan-server last year but it was too hard to parse.
The Xbox 360, ... that piece of shit broke on me 2 times, with his rrod. ...
I had four consoles total I think. Twice it was sent away and they sent refurbished ones back. Once the warranty was kaput, so I went and bought some cheap budget replacement. Sold all the physical games, no regrets; and the only thing it’s good for now was it’s set of four controllers; but they’ve all deteriorated so bad over the decade, that I really need replacements. Dead zone and spring-back on the thumbsticks are
all fucked.
Taking two weeks off from work to play Mass Effect Andromeda.
I even thought
“Hey, everyone was wrong, this is good!” throughout my first two or three hours. Pretty much the “
my face is tired” point on it was bad; and then a train-wreck once Peebee and the ruins come into play. I saw the amount of World of Warcraft bullshit side-quests outstanding on some of those planets and just never went back.
That's easy. I let a "friend" borrow my Saturn and a bunch of games. Never saw it again.
...
- Leaving my classic consoles at my girlfriend's house ...
- Letting a buddy borrow my copies of Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9. ...
I had an old friend get back in touch with me after years of not seeing eachother; and probably a decade since we last actually hung out as friends. I was showing them my brand new 360 copy of
The Orange Box; I had completed everything and loved playing
Team Fortress 2.
Way before for the hat and microtransaction business; TF2 really was a smooth balanced game. It will just never be the same again, that experience was gone.
And that fucker cut that experience short for me, permanently. He asked to borrow it; and usually that’s a social faux pass. You
don’t ask to borrow someone’s new thing. But he did; and I told myself that
in the spirit of a reuinited friendship, he can play it at home. I’ll be seeing him regularly anyway... right?
On the subject of leaving things at girlfriend’s houses, know that eventually some boy will date that person and be delighted to inherit those controllers. I know I was when it happened to me.
Now my half-regret. I regret not fucking my cousin the arse while we both played
Playboy: The Mansion. Hopefully don’t regret posting that.
