We all have at least one game in our collection that makes us feel completely idiotic for having bought at full price. Let's name them.

I guess I'll start this thread off with a true stinker:

Not only did I buy Duke Nukem Forever on day 1, but I got the Balls of Steel edition for $100, with the Duke Nukem bust and the artbook and everything.

I don't fucking know man. I guess I was still holding out hope that DNF would somehow be an awesome game, because how hilarious would that be?! Surely, I thought, this would be a legendary release even decades from now, no matter how good it was.

sigh.

 

[TomShoe]

Destiny hate thread incoming.

 

[hydruxo]

I still regret it.

 

[Antti]

Double dip on GTA V without a doubt.

 

[vypek]

Destiny
Assassin's Creed 3
Modnation Racers
Soul Calibur 5

Shitty to me. Personally didn't like them (at least not for full price).

 

[Chindogg]

Greatest regret.

 

[Nothavingit]

I still regret it.

This^^^

 

[Sendou]

Skyward Sword

I mean I got the limited edition Wiimote so it's not all bad. Yet the actual game I found tiresome and riddled with control related problems. I should have waited.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

Destiny.

And to some extent... Watch Dogs =/

 

[Bananastand]

I still regret it.

Fuck this game. Very glad I sold it as fast as I could.

[EmptySpace]

red dead redemption


what a boring piece of shit. i even got the map which was a fucking useless paper.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

That terrible DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 game on PS1.

Homefront on 360.

That's about it.

 

[Otakumegane]

Trine 2.

The controls were annoying as hell and platforming mechanics were not helpful.

 

[dapoktan]

ff13 for ps3.. bought it first day.. still havent opened it.. :-/

 

[JayEH]

Destiny and Shadow of Mordor last year. Though I at least I had some fun with Destiny.

 

[Gurgelhals]

This piece of shit right here:

 

[Nokterian]

I still regret it.

Same here bro...so much potential..such a waste of a game.

 

[electroflame]

This may or may not incite some defense posts, but:

I actually preordered it and paid for expedited shipping.

Spoiler

In my defense, I was expecting it to live up to Mass Effect. I was very, very wrong.

 

[batrush]

Bioshock Infinite.

 

[Ooccoo]

Destiny

I fell for the hype and I'm sorry. Promised I'd never pre-order another game.

 

[CHC]

I still regret it.

Luckily I backed out at the last second on this one. Brink does have to set some kind of record for the most disappointing game at this point though. I know Destiny is more widespread, and Duke Nukem is worse, but in terms of expected quality to delivered quality - Brink wins.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Awesome trailer though.

 

[Cider]

Beyond Two Souls. Hate you David Cage.

 

[kittens]

I bought a digital version of Destiny. :-(

 

[Acquiescence]

Off the top of my head...

Deadly Premonition
Okami
Bayonetta
Duke Nukem Forever
Murasaki Baby

I wish I could turn back time and unbuy them all.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Dragon Age 2

red dead redemption

[e90Mark]

Watch_Dogs

 

[Hung_real]

FF XIII

I even bragged about the purchase to one of my friend ...

 

[bsod]

DayZ. They can't even get mouse movement right.

 

[Lime]

O.R.B.

 

[OnionPowder]

I fucking preordered Aliens Colonial Marines on Steam.

what a fuckin waste

 

[Flintty]

That Conan MMO from Funcom. damn, I can't believe I was naive enough to drop £35. I was expecting another WoW. Sorely disappointed.

 

[braves01]

Star Fox Adventures

 

[andymcc]

These threads either have people that either don't but many games or use lots of hyperbole.

 

[Princess Carl]

Brink

Destiny

MCC

After the last two I'm never pre-ordering anything ever again.

 

[RespectThySole]

Watch Dogs
Far Cry 4

 

[Floridian]

Red Dead Redemption. Not that I'm calling it a shit game, but I got bored within one hour of playing it and had no desire to continue. I still to this day cannot get into it.

 

[Marvel]

Also Destiny LE.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

I still regret it.

Same here bro...so much potential..such a waste of a game.

Yep. I'm still mad I bought this. At least the character designs was good.

 

[jblank83]

Off the top of my head...

Deadly Premonition
Okami
Bayonetta

Whoa, whoa, whoa... hey...

I'd run if I were you.

[DagnastyEp]

WWF Attitude on N64. $70 on launch day.

I was a big fan or pro wrestling when I was a kid, I watched WCW and WWF, but had a strong preference for WWF. I got WCW World Tour on N64 and loved it, so when my preferred wrestling franchise had the game coming out, I got it day one. WWF Attitude was terrible in comparison to WCW World Tour.

It taught me a valuable lesson, that the logos on the boot up screens were for the developers, and it's something to pay attention to and consider when purchasing future games.

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Not only did I buy Duke Nukem Forever on day 1, but I got the Balls of Steel edition for $100, with the Duke Nukem bust and the artbook and everything.

I don't fucking know man. I guess I was still holding out hope that DNF would somehow be an awesome game, because how hilarious would that be?! Surely, I thought, this would be a legendary release even decades from now, no matter how good it was.

sigh.

I was gonna comfort you by saying we had a friend buy the Balls of Steel Edition and still laugh about it occasionally.... Um... Uh... Sorry.

 

[Tawney Bomb]

Devil May Cry 2...

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

I still regret it.

Yep.

 

[Silky]

I still regret it.

UGH IT HURTS.

IT HURTS SO MUCH MAN.

[he who dwells]
