What game do you regret buying!!!!

Elder Scrolls Online for PS4. I bought it cos a few mates had done the same and we basically played it for about an hour and then never touched it again.

Edit: I completely forgot about Destiny. I even bought the season pass for that, but it just ended up being a pile of shit. The only mode I enjoyed was PVP and even that was ruined cos unlike other people I didn't have time to grind play it for 500+ hours to unlock the best weapons/armour. Hand cannon wars got boring quick. I don't care how highly rated Destiny 2 is, I won't be picking it up.
 
Spice World.. I was 13, and some how had £25 to my name and without anyone looking I got the spice world game off the shelf at woolworths, made a point to tell the cashier it was for my sister. I liked their music but I wasn't going to admit it. What a peice of shit. I am still bitter, would have been safer just buying the damn album.
 
I've definitely pay more money for worse games, but the first one that comes to mind is Silent Hill: Downpour. I bought this game in a bargain bin a year after it was released. My first playthrough of the game left me with mixed emotions. After a second playthrough, I grew to despise almost everything about Downpour. Incidentally, it made me lose any respect I had for Vatra Games, the developers.
 
Brink, Battlefront on PC (player base is too small), Battlefield 3 season pass, and waaay back a Dreamcast game called Expendable, which was a fun little shmup but not worth full price.
 
Destiny. The grind was terrible, the story was non-existent, the voice acting of Peter Dinklage (no offense to him) made it even worse, and the repetitive gameplay made for a game I hated playing. I sold it when I had the chance for $60 back to Amazon.

Never buying anything Destiny related ever again.
 
The Order 1886. I enjoyed the game but I bought it digital on day one and beat it that day. In Canada games are $80 so I kinda wish I had just waited and got it on sale or at least bought physical so I could trade it in.
 
Some little indie game called Submerged. Thought it might fall into the 'ok to play with kids' range, but no it's just poor.

Digital copies of Arkham Knight & Scholars of the First Sin. Don't get on with AK at all, and realised about 2 hours in I just don't have the spare time to get into a Souls game.
 
MGSV

I'm a huge MGS fan. The original MGS is among my favorite games of all time. However, while I can recognize that this game is mechanically fantastic, it didn't really have what I look for in an MGS game :-/ It is a great open world stealth game, but I've always loved the more linear, crazy-cutscene-filled MGS games like MGS 1-4
 
Wetrix. I love a good puzzle game. Around that time I was playing Tetris, Devil Dice, the Intelligent Cube demo and loving all of them. So I bought Wetrix when it came out, but found the game to be lacking in so many ways. Probably only put 3-4 hours into that game back when I was routinely putting 40+ hours into every game I owned.
 
WWE 2K15, it was such a peice of shit. I haven't faithfully played the wrestling games since the Smackdown days (I don't count WWE 2K09 on PSP)

For w.e. reason I thought it would have similar controls to HCTP and...the game was just trash to me.

Destiny and Titanfall. Good lord i wish i could get my money back.

I can understand for Destiny, but damn Titanfall is a bit of stretch. Depend on the price you paid for it, I pay 10€ for the game and all the DLC on unity : spent nearly 300 hours in it and had a BLAST. Halo 5 is potentially better, but damn Titanfall is something. I came from CS and damn playing CS after those two games is nearly possible it makes it look DATED. Titanfall is a steal for 10 bucks even by today standard, I just hope they'll get rid of the Call of feel in the sequel.

For me it's Assassin's creed Brotherhood. Give up the serie after playing it.
 
Destiny.

Bungie has gone from my favorite developer in the business to off my radar completely. All the staff I had any fondness for or awareness of at all either left or got fired. (except Jason Jones and the McLees')

Fuck that game.
 
I bought the original Hyperdimension Neptunia and hated it then for some reason went and bought Rebirth on the vita when it came out... awful games

Bought it at full price only to see it plummet dramatically. Can buy it for what $10 now? I played maybe three or four hours.
 
The Order: 1886...

More like "The Boredom: 1886 seconds till naptime"
(Seriously, I've never fallen asleep mid gameplay in another game before.)
 
So many,
GTA V PS4 edition (once was enough, and online is garbage)
Bloodborne (just not a souls player I guess)
The Order: 1886 (at $4.99 this game is still hot garbage)
Fire Emblem Awakening (totally suck at it)
Animal Crossing: New Leaf
SW Battlefront (demo in disguise)
Every COD after BO2 (they were all terrible, especially AW)
Battlefield 1 XBONE (PC shooters belong on PC)

just to name a few.
 
Oh and Destiny. 400 some hours I won't ever get back. Half of which were spent in raids that failed due to that goddamn glitch gremlin :(
 
I can't recall in the past 10 years having regretted a purchase more than street fighter v. Literally threw my money away.
Recently : battlefront and bf1 on ps4.
 
super street fighter 4 for the ps3, I had an original 40 gig ps3, the game was 36 gigs, couldn't install
 
It hardly ever happens to me now since I've gotten good at telling if I'll like a game but

Final Fantasy XIII - I put in about 7hrs and it really felt like a slog. I was kinda dreading going back to it so dropped it. I play a lot of RPGs and slow-starts usually don't bother me at all but in this case I was just really bored with it & I'm not even sure why tbh. It looked very pretty though.

Deus Ex Human Revolution - I thought I'd love this game. Nope. I played it earlier this year, beat the second boss but just had zero desire to return to it. At the beginning I really kinda hated it, it did get better as you unlock more augments & different ways of doing things became more viable but I still found the gameplay a bit meh. Didn't really like the hubs at all. The story was starting to get a little interesting in a 'um wtf?' kinda way but I didn't care enough about the characters or world to keep going. Perhaps stealth games / immersive sims just aren't for me, haven't tried any others yet
 
For Honor...just not my type of game. Played it for about 5 hours maybe. A friend really wanted me to get it and okay with him. He loved it though

Basically the title sums it up, but what games do you truly regret buying. Im not talking about their in the back log. Im talking about a game you bought played for like an hour and realize that you truly do not like this game. I have only one I can thing of at the moment.

The witness
Thats right gaf I said it i regret buying the witness. I have but about two hours into this game and barely scratched the surface but I don't think I will play it again. Its just so god damn hard and it makes me feel like an idiot. I thought I would love this game because I like puzzle games like portal and that one where you change dimensions. The line puzzles don't just do it for me and after about 20 minutes of playing this game I start to get a giant ass head ache. I will give it credit because I played the opening while high and my jaw dropped from how friggen beautiful this game it.

So gaf what game do you truly regret buying and why?

Dont feel bad, I regretted and promptly sold generic zero dawn.
 
Gears of War 2. Full price. Took it home, fired it up, 5 mins and I realised I had played all the gears I ever wanted to play with the first one. Never touched it again. Currently sits in a box in a cupboard. Not regret really just should have thought about it a bit more but I enjoyed the first one so I assumed I was up for more. Nope.
 
The Last Guardian, by far the worst game i ever played, i finished the game and i suffered every single second of gameplay.
 
Final Fantasy XV

i was so excited for the game, and my hyped increased to over 9000 when they announced the release date, but when I played it, it just was meh for me. I liked the combat and it was actually not boring to play, but then Nier: Automata released and it had practically the same combat, but better, and a much, much, much, much better story.

FFXV is incomplete, and I bet someone will actually tell the true story about its development. The game was a complete mess story wise, and affected many gameplay mechanics. The only good thing from having FFXV, is that Square Enix can leave this behind, and focus on making a better Final Fantasy next.

With that said though, putting Nomura in charge of FF7R, means SE hasn't learned anything at all, and it will just be the same story all over again.
 
Bought the SFV Collectors Edition day 1. 2-3 weeks later, I saw it discounted to like $50.

I feel ripped off, mostly because of how much I payed vs the content I got.

Never again, Capcom.

Also, I got Killzone Shadow Fall for like $15. That was a huge ass mistake, especially after playing Destiny.
