There's not even a Doge in the game. Such a false advertising.
Seriously though, awful boring game.
Yep this too. The thing is I had listened to GAF and then a friend told me it was absolutely superb. I bought it digitally there and then (at UK digital prices as well) so I'd have it downloaded when I got home from work. I actually made myself finish the "story".
Never again

Multithreaded stories have been done before it.
And the actual story it did have was awful.

Still salty about this full priced purchase, over a year later. Can't see myself paying full price for a game ever again after Destiny (unless it's a new Jet Set Radio or CvS2).
Yep. Pretty much anything to do with Destiny. Thing is, the salt is rubbed in further when you realize you have to double down on diluted content just to stay relevant in the game.

Not to throw gas on the Destiny hate flame, but that game is my most recent $60 regret. I rarely buy games at full price, even those I anticipate, but I got Destiny because I'd just got a PS4 and many of my friends had as well. We all wanted to play online together so Destiny was the obvious choice. In all due fairness to Destiny, it provided just what I was looking for for the first month or so. But the more I played of the campaign the less satiated I felt, and it wasn't long before I needed something else to supplement that taste of new next-gen goodness. I am tempted by TTK, but it's one of those fool-me-once situations at this point. Maybe some day, or maybe Destiny 2. That's out next year anyway, right?
A close second is Shadows of Mordor due to no real fault of its own, but because it wasn't long before other, more interesting games came out and stole my attention from it. I haven't gone back to it in months, but, unlike Destiny, I someday intend to.

It taught me to never fell into launch hype ever again.

This may or may not incite some defense posts, but:
I actually preordered it and paid for expedited shipping.
In my defense, I was expecting it to live up to Mass Effect. I was very, very wrong.
You were expecting it to live up to Mass Effect 1? Ha, ok...

Not sure if I've already posted in this thread, but Saints Row 3. Holy shit was that game (and sadly now the franchise too) awful.
Not all of these are necessarily shitty but all of them are games which I don't think were worth the full price for one reason or another.

I bought a graphics card and paid full price for Oblivion. Boy did I feel dumb when I hated it.

Have you played it since launch? It has transformed as heck. I was a bit disappointed at release but ever since the expansion hit... I have spent so many hours in that game.

Hmm...
Street Fighter V is my current game of regret. Previous entries into this most disappointing of lists include Destiny and Battlefront.
My earliest memory of a disappointing game was Bart's Nightmare on the SNES. I was barely a teen when it came out, so the £40 spent on it was a lot of money. Straight back to the shop with that one.

Evolve PC Monster Race Edition....Never Again!
Mass Effect 1 was more ambitious. Don't get me wrong, I love ME2, but a lot of fans were let down that they didn't improve on the rough edges of ME1. Instead of fleshing out the Mako sections, or amplify the exploration elements they decided to streamline it. ME3 did the same, but it went too far.
ME2 was just so good at being what it was, that the outcry wasn't as great, but still lingered under the surface. I whole-heartedly believe that a lot of the hate directed at ME3 was long-standing frustration at the series direction, rather than its own merits as a game (it was okay, but had a lame ending).

Without any doubts:
I absolutely adored Spiderman on PSX and the fantastic Dreamcast port, so I ended up preordering this TURD. It was nothing like Neversoft previous game, the hell they must had kidnapped the original leads of the studio. It haunted me for a long time cause I imported it from the US and living in PAL land/Italy not a lot of folks had a ntsc Gamecube and those who owned one were smart enough to avoid buying this piece of crap from me. I had my revenge in the end tho, traded it years later for Super Monkey Ball.
This other one was utterly traumatic for my young self: imagine little Dash, used to getting C64 game bootlegs by the dozen for pennies at the local newsagent, for once using his allowance's money to get this monstrosity of a port. I was sooo disappointed
But you got the cassette tape of the music right....?
Dash Kappei
Not actually that important

well Jason Brooke's Splace Wave remix was pretty cool, MSS less so and man, that fucking loading's music (USA's anthem) every goddamn time, ugh. But yeah horrible port, the beginning of my US Gold hate... I was more of an Ocean dude myself

Fable 2: Never had an XBOX and heard lots of hype and great things about the first entry, decided the new feel was worth trying... Couldn't hold my attention at all, so very boring, stale, unrewarding, just an awfully uninteresting three or four hours. Never again with that franchise.
Devil May Cry 2: First day pickup and everything...... I mean, after the first, who wouldn't?
Didn't even beat Dante's chapters.

Too Human, 44.99. Christ.
Brink - Expected to play with my friends at quakecon that summer. Did not work with ATI GPUs at launch. Got bored after a couple matches. No one at quakecon was playing it that year, and the "tourney" was pre-recorded. It was never mentioned again...
GTA5 PC - I held off on getting GTA5, simply because I wanted the PC version, which in the past has usually (cough 4) been the best version. After 18+ months, I was greeted to 2 minute load times and constant crashes. By this time, I played through a friend's XBONE copy.
Gran Turismo 6 - No so much a bad purchase, but I did not play too much. I bought the pre-order and got the massive selection of bonus cars. Problem was, I had not desire to play the actual game to guild up a garage and progress like I normally do in these games. That, and the infinite money glitch, made the game a complete bore. More my fault then the game's.
The Witness could also go up here, but I put a solid 12 hours into it, and I've spent more for worse and less (BRINK).

Destiny for me. Bought it digitally and saved money buying from US PSN too (in UK). Played at most 20 hours of it, but probably even less. So disappointed. Then they made it so you actually need to buy two whole expansions to keep up to date, the base game is sort of irrelevant now.
Meh. Not again. Hence why The Division is getting a wide berth from me. I just can't get into these big always online kinds of games, don't have the time to really invest to make it worthwhile and then get left behind as expansions come out etc.

Dude I bought a Wii just to play this game and gave up on it after 3 hours and gave up on my Wii after about 3 months.
As of late I can only think about Infamous Second Son. It wasn't a bad game but it wasn't a 70-worthy game at all, the traditional drought of games after launch got me and I bought the limited edition with that crappie hoodie.
I enjoyed First Light more thanks to those arena challenges, they were so goddamn fun.
