What are the games that you bought and that you regret?

First I'll explain, I have a Wii but barely enough money to get new games for it and I'm still waiting on my payment so I can get a 360. In that time, I'm going back and buying classics.

One original Xbox game I bought a few weeks back and regret is Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb. It's an ok game, but the missions are SO DAMN LONG! It took me two days to get past the first level! Not only that, but the linear gameplay is kinda repetative and bland.
 
sc2 (ps2) it always said that my memory was corrupted and could not save it and Army men Sarge's heroes 2 (n64) not as good
as first and multiplayer got boring.
 
X-Men: Next Dimension for the Gamecube.

It's one of the few fighting games I've ever resold. The controls were unresponsive and the animations were awkward. Additionally, you had to move the character with the analog stick and sidestep with the D-pad, if I remember correctly. Whether or not the controls were customizable is a moot point, because I only played it twice.

MK might have its share of flaws, but it's still the best Western fighter.
 
It would be easier these days for me to list the things I didn't regret buying then to list the things I regret buying. I cycle through all the games so much now there isn't a game I'd consider more over the others. :-/
 
Not a very good shopper if there are that many games you regret buying. My games library is quite large and full of games I adore completely. Of course there are quite a few games that I've regretting BUYING even if I didn't regret PLAYING. A recent example, Dark Sector, which I beat in 8 hours, had my friends beat in 8 hours, and traded it in. I don't regret playing it as it was quite fun for those 8 hours I spent on it. But it was a rental not a purchase.

Perhaps you should consider reading reviews or playing a demo if there are so many games you don't like Angel.
 
Nope. I was a sucker for buying the games that were meant to be great (e.g. the SIMS) and finding out they weren't so great. Others I just bought to try out out of boredom. (Sacred is 9th on my list of fav. RPGs and that was a boredom buy, same with spellforce which I couldn't stop playing for a week).

These days I don't read reviews BECAUSE I made so many misguidements. Actually... You know the Soul Calibur topic... SC3 was my last buy I brought after being wowed by a review.

No offence, but just because it got good reviews, doesn't mean a game is GOOD. ¬_¬'

And I don't like rental because:
1 - The last rental place I could get games from was bloackbusters... Oh there were two in my hometown... Note: were two, as in their not here anymore. Now I have to BUY the games.
2 - If the game was fun, I don't own it, so I have to return it. That means I got to fork out the extra £30 on top of the £10 I used for renting it to actually buy it. To be honest, I'd rather have the collection of games I have, then a collection of memories OF the game.
3 - Having the bad games in your collection makes the better games seem terrific. Its like purposely putting your wonderful cake slices on a stall next to another sloppy made cake stall in a bake sale. Your neighbours cake will make your seem a lot better then it is and likely to make you sell more.
4 - My opinions on many of the games i now different. For example, I was excited, thrilled and jumping when I got Diablo 2. After I finally put Diablo 2 down, went for a year without playing it, I picked up Diablo and played it again. I then played diablo 2 again. You know what... I went back to Diablo because after the break I finally realise Diablo was better then Diablo 2. Trouble is the more I think about it, the more I hate Diablo 3 and it hasn't even come out yet.
5 - It makes judging the value of games easier.
 
Wierd, I don't like Diablo 1 very much at all. No run button, fewer meaningful loot drops, boring and less varied locales, NO RUN BUTTON. But that's down to personal opinion.
 
Angel, just an observation; That's the second post in one day where you've compared games to sub-standard cakes. Both mentioned SoulCalibur too. Hmm.
 
SC3 and SC4, total disapointments.

But also:

MLB The Show, MVP Baseball....bought both loving Baseball a lot and traded both in for credit....nothing like the oldschool All-Star Baseball games, for the N64 they ARE the best baseball games ever made as far as I'm concerned.

More but I can't think of all of them right now.
 
Medal of Honor Rising Sun - it's the first and last shooter game that i bought for my ps2. It's very hard to me to play those shooter games on ps2
 
Mine would have to be Dead or Alive Xtreme 2.
When I first bought it I thought it'd have some new features that would increase replayability but the achievements are so damn hard and time consuming that I couldn't help but shelving the game.
I still have it because fo its awesome graphics but that isn't enough to make me want to play it more than once a month.
 
I think I've decided I regret getting Ninja Gaiden 2. Its been sitting on my shelf for a year now and I don't see beating it in my future. It's just too hard to be fun. I might go back, restart on Acolyte difficulty, and give it a go...but there's a balance that needs to be kept between satisfaction of the player and difficulty/effort it requires. Ninja Gaiden doesn't give me enough satisfaction in winning to warrant working through the pain.
 
Fallout 3: It was good for only one full playthrough, I can't even believe I wasted money on DLC thinking it would make it better. (I love New Vegas though).

Pride FC: Too limited...

Final Fantasy XI: Wound up deleting precious data on my xbox 360 and I didn't even last the full free trial.

Final Fantasy XIII: Made me realize why I dislike jrpgs in the first place, Japanese developers need to make more mature rpgs and ditch the whole "friendship" and annoying "kawaii" girl thing. Too bad because I did like the protagonist, Lightning.

Phantasy Star Zero: Overhyped and turned to be a crappy game.

Twisted Metal 4: Terrible, terrible, terrible, usually the series has good characters and gameplay (esp TM 2 & Black) but not this one.

WWE Smackdown vs Raw series: Since they decided to make the player grind for CAW attributes and limit female CAWS/divas in match types it just brought the series down (as someone who only plays with CAWS). Here's hoping 2011 will fix most of those mistakes.

Hands down though, the worst ever was Def Jam Icon, and that was a used game. That game is so horrible, broken, and trashy, the gameplay sucks, the story sucks, character creation, everything that made Def Jam Vendetta and Fight For NY good they trashed in favor of crap.
 
Oh...and the Sims 3. Wow that game is just...horrible. Everything fantastic about The Sims 2 (DNA system, graphics, gameplay) went right down the toilet with that one. Come to think of it I can't think of a single game EA actually improved these past few years...almost everything they got their hands on turned to crap..
 
Tomb Raider Legend - i liked it but shouldn't have bought it, not worth paying for
Way of the Samurai 3- boring and not very good looking but the box photos looked good
my 360- wast of money and such a money hog, don't like paying to play games online, that's why i like PS3 better
 
mk armageddon. I was like WTF is this crap 1 fighting style?!! . but KaF saved it.

that and dante's inferno.
 
Tomb Raider Legend, Marvel vs Capcom 2 (I bought it for PS2 but I suck at it now, unlike how fun it was to play with my brother back in the Dreamcast. Now, my Dreamcast is broken and my brother doesn't like fighting games anymore. I still have the Dreamcast version though.), and I few others which I forgot the names of.
