There's so many, but I think I'll stick with the first ones I can think of.

• Aliens: Colonial Marines
• Twisted Metal (PS3) - As a huge fan of the series I was let down by it so much. The drastic changes just moved it further away from what made the series amazing IMO.
• Evolve
• Mortal Kombat X (PC)
• Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen
• Call of Duty: Ghosts

Watch Dogs
Destiny
MGSV

The three $70-$80 Xbox games (in Canada) I bought at full price, and the three games I absolutely despise out of my collection. Coincidentally, all three are marred by "open world" design, horrible stories, and major disappointments (shitty downgrades for WD, no story/lack of content for Destiny, and so few cutscenes/Chapter 2/that twist for MGSV).

Made me learn the lesson to never get excited by hype, unless it's Nintendo.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Remembered this one thanks to another thread:

A mediocre online-only, single-player only Diablo clone with a ridiculously bland story.

 

[labx]

Not too shitty (I like the calm island setting), but I agree. I jumped the gun on this one, fell for the hype. My own damn fault since I should have waited for more impressions, oh well. Gonna be more careful next time for any indie game that ask more that $20. Looking at you NMS.

That was my thought yesterday when I was deleting The Witness. NMS, all the hype, the music, the art... Don't buy it anymore. I gonna wait.

 

[Surge]

Destiny
Fallout 4

I'm struggling to finish Fallout 4 right now.

 

[Lilo_D]

Witcher3 really can't stand for the battle system, dropped after 2 hours

 

[labx]

guys I have to level with you and be honest. I regret buying an overprice CE of MGS V on ebay...

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

It was fun, just not $50 fun, also Red Steel 2 since I actually spent $70 on that one since it included a Wii Remote Plus.

Luckily I waited a week or 2 and got that it for $20 or $30 (it's approaching 10 years ago so I don't recall specifics), was worth the amount I paid for it. That's especially after I traded it in a week later for almost what I paid for it. $50 was too much.

 

[Tarnpanzer]

TESO. I like everything about the game, except the awful boring combat system. Makes the whole game boring for me. Even bought the Imperial Edition...

 

[Soleil rouge]

The Matrix Online game is the worst gaming decision I've ever made. Paid full price, played it once.

 

[HF2014]

TESO. I like everything about the game, except the awful boring combat system. Makes the whole game boring for me. Even bought the Imperial Edition...

Recently, going with this game too. Totally forgot i bought it full price ( trade in some games but still, got it at full value ) . 2 days later i put it back on sale.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Coming off the Crocodile Dundee movie hype, (hey, I was 11 years old).

Some other people's view of 'shitty', yikes. May not be your cup o' tea, but shitty those are not. This thread is a funny echo in the light of the 'entitle gamers' thread, lol.

 

[vern]

Wailai Country Club on N64. Pretty sure my dad was the one who paid full price since I was probably 12 years old. I was big into golf then but that game sucked.

 

[deadeyekiwi]

The evil within.
Fuck this game.

 

[Tunned]

Test Drive Unlimited 2. God what a pos, especially after the amazing first game.

 

[viHuGi]

Destiny for sure, what a terrible game.

Story was terrible.

I'm not buying anything from Bungie ever again.

 

[Eidjinn]

Mafia II. This game sucks, and two monthas later it was with a huge discount.

 

[Octavianus]

Fallout 3
Really wanted it to be good because Fallout, but they Bethesda'd it.

I also bought Masters Of Orion 3 and Star Control 3...

Oh and Spore. Fuck Spore.

 

[Duress]

A lot of these games I wouldn't call shitty, just not worth what you expected.

 

[Canucked]

Anyone remember Dark Angel: Vampire Apocalypse?


...yeah...I bought it.

Leave me alone.

 

[Shane86]

Final Fantasy XIII

Arkham Knight PC

 

[dangeraaron10]

Removed races, removed my favorite class specializations, constantly reused environments. Took it back after the game kept freezing in certain cutscenes.

I was really excited for this too.

 

[bobone]

The worst. So many better games I could have used my allowance for in 2002.

 

[Shane86]

Mafia II. This game sucks, and two monthas later it was with a huge discount.

I really liked it, the open world was pointless but the story was good. Also, playboy girls

 

[dangeraaron10]

How oh how could I forget this little gem. I basically ran around the world at random after a while just laying waste to all in my path and stealing the orcs' mounts. It was the only sort of "fun" I could garner from it.

 

[Fugs Nugget]

Destiny
Bio shock 2 - what a heaping pile of shit this game was compared to the first and the multiplayer was just embarrassing.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

fuck me, dude

but bs2 is the best one

 

[Nokterian]

fuck me, dude



but bs2 is the best one

Yes let's add WoD and Cataclysm to the pile...i hope so much that they improve a lot with Legion or i will stop playing it for a long time to come.

 

[23qwerty]

This is a pretty shitty thread honestly, surprised it hasn't been locked yet.

Spoiler

soul calibur 4

 

[Kickz]

Awful bore

 

[catbrush]

Starseed Pilgrim. Made me skip the Witness (for now), realizing that J.Blow's taste in design is polar opposite to my own.

Also: We're Back! A Dinosaur Story on SNES, Sonic 3D Blast, SW Masters of Taras Kasi, SW The Phantom Menace, and Digimon World.

 

[Kickz]

Destiny Digital Guardian Edition on the Xbox One

and maybe Star Wars Battlefront on PC the game is great but the low population and some of the problems like the lack of a server browser are really bad I should have bought the game on my PS4 but the graphics *.* also I got the ultimate edition for $74 so it's not that bad

Got this on original release on PS4, one of my worst gaming purchases ever, and highlights the continuing issue of this gen of releasing unfinished games and charging FULL PRICE

 

[chemicals]

I was a dumb kid with an NES and 2 games.. Excitebike and Super Mario Bros. Too young to have my own money, my dad says "hey you can get a new Nintendo game when we go to the mall". After mulling over the box art and titles of every game behind the counter at EB games, i chose Spy Hunter.

Spy Hunter arcade was my favorite game at the time and I thought "man, I can't believe I will get to play Spy Hunter at home on my brand new NES". Boy was I disappointed when I played it and realized it was similar to Spy Hunter in name only.

But being a poor kid with a new game, I played the hell out of it until I could play it in my sleep.

Today, I have a PC and XBOX with a combined 300 game catalog. Gamers have it so good now. You youngsters dont even know.

 

[Whompa02]

Some games on here are not "shitty"

A game that I bought for full price that was actually shitty though? Resident Evil 6...the pros do not weigh out the cons of that game

 

[detectiveconan1]

Call of Duty MW3. It was also the last Call of Duty game I bought.

 

[RuinerPrime]

Wasted my bday money on this

 

[LSauchelli]

I mean, it wasn't that bad, but I wanted Killer Instinct Gold, and it wasn't in stock in the store, but my mom told me I needed to choose a game or I wouldn't be getting one.

It wasn't bad, just... Boring.

 

[Mystery]

I bought

I do not make smart purchases.

 

[Apt101]

SimCity 2013. Ugh. I even purchased whatever super-special edition they had and a gift copy for a friend so we could "play together". I should have just burned the fucking money.

 

[Lord of Ostia]

Wasted my bday money on this

What!? That game is awesome! Made me love beetles as a kid, I wanted one as my first car for a long time

 

[onken]

The Evil Within. Bought day 1 through combination of pedigree and GAF hype, this game is janky as fuck and simply not fun. I'm usually pretty careful with my gaming purchases so it doesn't happen too often, fortunately.

Mafia II. This game sucks, and two monthas later it was with a huge discount.

Ah yes, Mafia 2. I got about 2/3rds in, got to the end of one particularly long mission where all I had to do was a short driving section and my car kept falling through the road and into infinity. Didn't want to re-do the mission so left it for a few months. When I finally came back to it, my save had been wiped. Fuck that game.

 

[nephilimdj]

Torchlight 2 is only recent one I can think of, thanks reddit for making it sound like the best game since Diablo 2

 

[Jaffaboy]

:<

 

[loudbill]

Growing up i always tried my best to not buy shit games. It all changed when i got steam. My worst buys would have to be nether, rust, day z, and ace of spades. Nether never worked, rust barely works, and day z is just awful imo. Also ace of spades is terrible.

 

[Deleted member 752119]

Nothing that immediately jumps to mind. I researched games a ton back when money was tighter, and now time is tighter (while money isn't a barrier at all for things like a $60 game), so I'm selective due to time constraints. So I mostly stick with the cream of the crop in AAA genres I like.

Any games I've not liked at all have usually been cheaper download titles (indie or big pubs) that I took a risk on since it was cheap and no hassle with selling a physical copy if I hate it (I don't collect or keep games I'm not actively playing).

 

[InfiniteBento]

Lightning Returns -___-

 

[Iriscomeback]

Ikaruga for the Gamecube.

50 euro's for an arcade shooter.

 

[Lunarwhale]

I got Lair two weeks early because the store broke street date hard, so I couldn't even turn around and sell that shit anywhere for a while - and at my first attempt to they wouldn't take it because they had too many copies being traded back in.

Also to a far lesser extent, Final Fantasy XIII, which while bad (at the time, I've warmed up to it some), wasn't fundamentally broken.

 

[nailbombxx]

Ikaruga for the Gamecube.

50 euro's for an arcade shooter.

50 euros for one of the best shooters of all time. Smart purchase imo.

Agreed with Lord Of Ostia. This game is amazing and extremely challenging; especially to get all the crates. Controls are tights, environments are amazing, plentiful and full of life.


On thread, I... I don't remember buying a game I regretted purchasing. Maybe New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS. But even then, it wasn't exactly full price since it was used (35$CAD if I remember - but that's close to MSRP).
