Buyer's Remorse Thread (Let's Fish! Hooked On)
- Thread starter Avallon
- Start date
I ended up getting the ass creed 3 limited edition because my brother in law wanted but shipping got screwed up and i ended up having to buy a second one. Anyways, I've play the game for about 2 hours and havent touched it in months. It looks cool but its just kinda meh i guess.
...New? If you mean the thread I made, that's only releases in Jan and Feb.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star. Just finished the first World last week and I've had the game since release. Such a disappointing game
As soon as I heard it wasn't a real RPG, I lost all interest. Super Paper Mario was a complete turd of a game, and I refuse to buy any more Paper Mario games until they stop fucking around and make a proper one again.

Sticker Star is even worse than Super IMO. At least Super embraced the fact it wasn't an RPG, instead of being a quarter-assed one.

Mercenaries 2. The first was such a fantastic game, wtf happened?

I've got a lot of buyer's regret when it comes to Vita games. I just love the system so much that I've been taking more chances than usual on titles that I don't know much about, and I need to stop that now. Dokuro, orgarhythm, New Little King's Story, Ragnarok Odyssey, Virtua Tennis 4. None of them are bad games mind you, just not my kind of games really and I wish I hadn't picked them all up (or had at least waited for significant price drops before biting). Won't be making the same mistake with Let's Fish! ;-)

Heh I'll bite. Biggest buyers remorse this generation is probably xenoblade chronicles. After hearing nintendo gaf say this is the greatest game since anything and people comparing it ti my second favorite jrpg of all time on ps2 (ffxii) i bought it.
Long story short i played around 10-15 hours before being bored to death with the game, havent picked it up since.

Mercenaries was my Open World TPS of the generation on (Xbox, PS2). I got Mercenaries 2 for free thanks to that fantastic Origin loophole and feel like the integrity of the franchise is tarnished in my mind.

Oh man, Children of Mana was so terrible. The game was centered around switching weapons to clear obstacles in your path, but you could only hold two at a time before you had to go into a subscreen to change your equipment. Frustrating as hell.
I was referring to this one.
I've since seen better, more complete release lists, and it's a bit better than that thread would make you think. That being said, it doesn't do much for me.
Honestly, it's my problem. The lineup is pretty much exactly what I expected when I bought it. I bought it anyways. Therefore, I'm an idiot currently suffering from buyer's remorse. End of story.

Vita. It just sits there collecting dust.
Probably Anarchy Reigns as well. Sure, it was fun at first, but once the novelty wore off, all the inherent flaws began to surface. Lackluster SP, online usually a hit-or-miss, pre-order exclusive game types (no playing with friends that didn't pre-order from GS), complete lack of customization in multiplayer game types. My friends and I didn't play beyond a week. It's a shame, really wanted to like it. At least the soundtrack is pretty good.

Ya gotta admit though, smacking enemies around the screen with that strange physics system was amusing for the first couple of minutes. Could get pretty ridiculous.
Also, I liked the gem system where you equip skills, stats and effects on your character - probably mainly because it reminded me of Legend of Manas "Golem programming".
Other than that it was an utterly forgettable dungeon crawler with, like, five unique map tiles per dungeon and a shallow story. So sad. :´(

The first Assassins Creed was the only game I remember trading in almost immediately after I bought it. So repetitive.

For me recently, Dark Souls. I loved the idea and really wanted to get into it, however, after playing for a few hours it didn't gel with me and I just found it boring to play. Wasn't the difficulty either. Oh well.
Golden Sun Dark Dawn - had to force myself through the game. Boring and a shell of the former games.

That downloadable Siren game for PS3. Spent $40 on it and countless hours downloading.
It was awful, just awful. Game was too dark too, hard to see a lot of stuff, even adjusting brightness.

The Gamecube and Vita hate....I'm melting...I'm meeeellltinggggg.....
Most recently for me - AC3 Liberation. It's such a subdued (read: boring) presentation, I really can't say what the story's about.

Samurai Warriors Chronicles on the 3DS
Not that the game was bad, but I bought a Vita and got Dynasty Warriors Next a few months later and now there is probably no way I can go back.

Soul Bubbles. I bought it after hearing a bunch of people on GAF say how cute and charming it is. I guess they forgot to mention that it's also not fun.

I thought this was going to be a Wii-U thread.
Anyway, Halo 4 for me. Complete garbage that I got purchased on hype alone.

I... Loved children of mana. Good fun smacking enemies around the screen, and the gem system was great. The music, whilst repetitive we charming as hell.
I can see why people wouldn't like it tho.
Marvil vs Capkom 3.... I give it to my brother along with my old ps3, ans some other games. Re-bought all the games I give him, except for MvC3. A huge disappointment, specially since I played a lot of TvC.
Also, the ps3, but due to the "new" model. Just awful. I jut get it because it was $20 "more expensive" than the old model, and it came with one game (Uncharted 3, which I don't even intent to play, just opened to be sure the disc was in there). Should have gone cheap....

A handful of 2012 games come to mind:
Street Fighter X Tekken (just a snoozefest of a fighting game)
Soul Calibur V (just not as good as 2 or 4, imo. Felt like a been there, done that entry)
SSX (Had some cool mechanics, but does not even hold up to the PS2 era SSX titles at all and absolutely dreadful bottomless pits, need I say more?)

Buying this game myself was bad and I feel bad. I thought I'd get some lols out of the paper thin concept but the game doesn't deliver on any level. It's just terrible.

Halo 4 LE was a huge letdown and waste of money.
I love the game itself but the extra content was not worth it at all.

Buying a Nintendo DS and PSP at launch, because they didn't have any compelling software at launch and didn't for quite a while. Sold them and didn't buy them again for quite awhile.
