What's the game you regret purchasing the most?

[Tom Bombadildo]

Probably Pokemon OR/AS. Was super hyped for Gen 3 remakes, and they turned out pretty awful IMO. One of those rare times I've pre-ordered a game I thought I knew I would enjoy, and ended up being wrong.

Other than that, not too many come to mind. I generally follow the whole "pirate to try before I buy" process, so I avoid buying games unless I'm 99% sure I'll get (at the very least) my money's worth out of them, or unless they're super cheap in a bundle/free.

Crash NSane on switch

Least liked and least played: probably 007 Agent Under Fire fpr PS2 (I hate FPSes), though I didn't buy it to really play it either ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Okay, I'll ask what everyone's thinking: why did you buy that game?

 

[Deleted User]

can't really think of just one, so i'll form up a small list

Crash bandicoot NSane trilogy
Overwatch
Payday 2
TUG
Driveclub
my ps4 overall tbh, 30fps absolutely murders me
Pokemon moon
digital repurchase of mario kart 8 deluxe since i found the physical copy i lost like 2 days later

there's probably a couple more i can't think of at this very moment

Second level is in a separate executable + somewhat tolerant of read errors = ideal for loading homebrew via swap trick

Ah, that makes sense. I had no idea.

Pokemon SuMo was painful to me. I truly hate how hand-holdy the games are, and I still haven't bothered to play either all the way through yet.

Probably Quake 4. I already knew it was disappointing when I saw it discounted at a local GameStop years ago so I thought "How bad could it be anyways"?

Long story short it isn't a bad game per se but it simply isn't Quake. ID decided to scrap the fast-paced, twitch-shooting, frantic action for a slow "Halo x Doom" crossover with a meh storyline... at least for the singleplayer, that is. They actually decided to keep the old gameplay mechanics for the multiplayer, which is honestly an incredibly bad decision if you ask me as most FPS games out there use the single player mode as a sort of training grounds for multiplayer matches. Hell, the Quake 3 SP mode was nothing else than bot matches, afterall. Plus the Quake 4 multiplayer mode had a smaller (now nonexistant) player base and wasn't all that different than its predecessor, so you're better off playing Quake 3/Live anyways.

Mario

Easy: Cubic Ninja.

Wanted CFW for months but didn't know about seedminer so I spent $40 on it and am regretting it to this day...

The physical copy of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy on the Switch. The game got a physical release in Japan and eShop release everywhere else. My Japanese sucks and I can't enjoy the story sequences without English subs.

 

[stanleyopar2000]

Tom Clancy's The Division.

Clearly Rushed, Unfinished, and incompetent developers who had no fucking idea how to balance RPG mechanics. Don't even get my started on the Season Pass........

It was the last game which stopped me from pre-ordering anything

 

[JellyPerson]

dark souls

 

[MegaGenesis]

For me it was Pokémon X. My expectations were high, because all NDS era Pokémon were gold, and BW2 were by far the best games, but i was met with bland storyline, shallow characters, and super easy CPU, not even the Kalos region and OST were that memorable. To make everything worse, Nintendo released both Pokémon X and Y for free just a few months later on Club Nintendo, and since i didn't had registered my 3DS and had one of the promotional games (SM3DL), i got Pokémon Y for free.

Not really purchasing a game I suppose but

Archeage

The beta was incredible. Had a blast every round of closed beta, enjoyed the alpha, bought like $500+ worth of stuff. Then it just went to absolute shit when it launched because Trion is one of the worst game companies to ever exist. The F2P community was also shit though. Just a bunch of toxic retards.
Game had a ton of potential to be fun. Too bad Trion got their grubby hands all over it.

Fate/Extella:the umbral star for switch I played like 15 min in and was like seriously wtf is this lol. Id rather of had 5 copies of FF3 than 1 copy of this garbage.

I'm wondering why you bought it in the first place if you didn't even know what it was. I.E. A sequel to a spinoff series of visual novels.

To answer the question, I've bought too many games to remember. I'd say Dynasty Warriors 7 though. Bought it full price over Duke Nukem Forever, both choices were terrible but I was like 12.

 

[Uiaad]

I've bought a lot of crap over the years but the game i regret buying the most is *drum roll * Tales of Zestiria

 

[rustinrj]

Aliens: Colonial Marines. It has dated visuals.

 

[Zepman]

Moon Hunters on Switch, thought I could play multi online like PC, but no...
Alone it is a bad game...

 

[Fates-Blade-900]

I don't really have one, except any game that when I get home, doesn't work.
