What games you shouldn't waste money on.

[Arizato]

There we go then - we have Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV and now Ultra Street Fighter IV in the form of a full retail game or a Super Street Fighter IV. Here's a thought - just release Street Fighter V, what's the problem with doing that? Capcom's been doing this for ages, it's really annoying.

Yeah, I agree with you. Though Ultra seems to be the final definitive version since it has the edition select and whatnot. It all comes down to EVO and fighting game tournaments in the end though. Fighting game fans will buy upgrades so that they can practice on the new build and play well in the next tournament. While updates might seem cheap to people outside of the Fighting Game Community there's no denying that Capcom is keeping the SFIV tournament scene alive with all these updates.

I've heard that so many times before and I've learned to completely disregard the adjective used - there's still "Ultimate", "World Championships'", "Turbo", "Remixed" and so on and so forth, not to mention subtitles - Capcom could go on with this shtick forever. I mean, look at Street Fighter 2!

Yeah, you got a point. Can't deny that x3

 

[BORTZ]

Kingdom Hearts, because it makes Square think that we like those games ;O;

 

[Kikirini]

Call of Duty and the yearly sports games. At least, those are what I'd never spend money on. -.-

Any of the recent influx of Simulator titles on Steam would definitely qualify.

except Goat, maybe

Goat Simulator is best Simulator.

And Tree Simulator is the greatest game alive ;O;O

My suspension of disbelief is not strong enough to get over all the inaccuracies in this game - trees can't see, neither can they look around! This game is horse crap, I want the money for the bandwidth I've spent watching the trailer back!

The game you shouldn't waste money on is Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Before Konami started developing this Metal Gear they asked themselves "What are the elements that make Metal Gear games what they are?" After they got to the answer they decided "Let's throw all these elements away and make a pseudo-movie with interactive action scenes". So instead of the stealth game we knew and loved, we got this.

I've played MGS, MGS2 and MGS3 and found all of them fantastic games. I've been regreting buying this game, heck I don't even have a PS3, I bought it just to play in my friend's console.

Ultra Street Fighter 4, because it's going to be the exact same bloody game yet again, re-released under a new name instead of being distributed as DLC for the original.

As much as I hate Capcom and their current strategy, I see Ultra Street Fighter 4 mainly as a game for next gen platforms, which aren't backwards compatible. You can still purchase an update for any other supported console, but that's paid DLC. Capcom did promise that Super Street Fighter IV: AE was the last in the series, since they have released three SFIV titles over a relatively short period of time, but who doesn't love money? I know I do, and so does Capcom. As much as I would like this to be a free update, I still would have bought it for the PS4, so it doesn't bother me that much.

Bubsy 3D
Metal Gear Ground Zeroes (just wait for the bundle/compilation with The Phantom Pain)
Every game with microtransactions ever. (even that Nintendo WarioWare clone can be played completely for free) In fact, I'd argue you shouldn't even download it.
Any MMO
Most licensed games, barring the occasional secret gem
Call of Duty Ghosts
Resident Evil 6: Michael Bay Edition (at least the DmC reboot was supported by good gameplay)
Tales of the Tempest (pirate it if you want to experience it, then atone for that sin by playing it)
Sonic 2006, and the stupid Storybook spin-offs
New Super Mario Bros DS (so shallow)
Heroes of Mana/Children of Mana/Dawn of Mana/Especially Dawn of Mana
White Knights Chronicles
Jump Vs PS3
Time and Eternity

Eh, that seems a bit too broad. While I haven't played several of those games, I rather enjoyed Children of Mana when I first played it even though it had some serious flaws. NSMB is NSMB - it's not great for old Mario fans IMO but for younger kids it's fantastic. Something like Dota 2 has microtransaction yet they aren't bad at all. There's also several good MMOs, like Guild Wars 2 (which also has a payment model like most other non-MMO games where you just pay once and play)

I can understand people not liking it but it was not that bad


True it was no classic like the originals but we have had worse ninja themed games.

No argument that the vast majority of examples of both are less than stellar, however I am not sure we can dismiss entire styles of gameplay that easily.

Serious time.
Don't waste your money on Conception II. The only reason I'm still (barely) touching it is because of the Monokuma quest.

3ds download: witch and hero, even if its just 2€ it is a game with so basic\lazy programming, it could be done in less than 48 hours.

its the game i would love to get a refund.

Which and Hero is quite a fun game.
In the description it says exactly what it is, you even get a demo for that cheap game.


There are far worse games you can buy for more than a measly 2€

Missed this first time around and saw it in a quote. Is this a bad thing? Simple games certainly have their place in the world. Or if you prefer I have not got a clue about how to play contract bridge, does not mean I can not have fun playing freecell.
