Games you regret buying Thread

Forgive me --

For while as well as I agree with the idea of a grittier, more in-depth game. I find the idea of modifying a game where the main focus is -customization- to be a bit redundant, and perhaps in a strange way, ironic.

i wish i could say i didnt regret this game but it was the worst £1 i ever spent.

i bought a game called kreed it looked kinda like halo on the back of the case maybe a mix of halos gameplay with doom style monsters and i thought well its only £1 why not i then got home tried to install to find out the disk had never been burnt the disk had its logo printed on and a cd key on the back of the manual just zero on the disk.

also like others brink so far is my biggest disapointment. when i saw it at eurogamer convention in 2008 i was ready to sell my 1st born to have it and with each preview was more excited then when it finally went in my xbox i died a little inside but had to pretend to my GF that i loved it cause she bought it for me lol

I didn't have -exactly- the same problem, but I spent 10 bucks on a Jewel Case for Supreme Commander, and then whenever I tried to play it after install, it claimed I hadn't put disc one in, and thus I could NEVER play the game.

I meant modifying it to change the gameplay, of course.

That's an expensive paperweight there

The only thing I regret about JKA is that the jewel case was accidentally stepped on, cracking it along with one of the game discs. I was foolish enough to try it, it worked for a while and then shattered in my cd drive the very day the game's warranty expired (the very minute even; I remember Samurai Jack coming on which was the same time the store would have been closing). I still had all the game files installed so I was able to download and trick the demo into accessing the full game content, but I was never able to use it for multiplayer. 

I almost regret ArmA2, seeing how they announced a free version just a few weeks after I purchased it. But it was cheap and still has things the free version wont (like a campaign and mod support), so I guess I can't regret that.

Lol, the Darkness mod was awesome, especially the bartender scene I'm doing a mod that does something similar, 'cept it's for JKA.

I think this is your real problem with the levels:

Ah, good. He could stand to have a vacation. I mean, it's not like he had to survive a cult of dark Jedi, Rosh Penin, a crazed flower girl (we're looking at you, JK2 era Tavion), a lizard man, thousands of imperial idiots, Rosh Penin, Luke Skywalker, Jaden Korr and...

...did I mention Rosh Penin? He's like the human Jar-Jar... it's disturbing. and I want to just cut off his hair... it is... just... gah!

I regret buying the Strategy First pack on steam. Out of the twenty or so games you'd think there would be at least one or two good ones. And of course there's the entire library of games belonging to City Interactive.

Apart from those publishers there's Red Alert 3, Command and Conquer 4, Sniper Ghost Warrior, Fallen Earth and Prison Tycoon 3: Lockdown.

Hearts of Iron was pretty good. The issue with Strategy First is their extremely dodgy business practices.

The games in the pack were mostly comprised of really bad simulation games like Iron Warrior and several submarine sims, a couple of adventure games and some strategy games. But thats what you might get if you go for something you haven't heard anything about I guess

Look on the brightside.

You didn't buy a kriffing tractor simulator.

I honestly sometimes don't get why games like that are such a hot commodity in places like Germany. I realize they're strict on violence in games... but really? I just don't get it.

Molyneux cant' get it right. I got the same feeling with Fable 3, and some with 2. (I thought I read somewhere that you worked with Lionhead on the first one? Maybe its because they didn't have you ).

Its not a terrible game, rather one that has its issues and a boatload of potential. I might buy it if they improve the system later on.

I don't regret buying any games, but I do regret selling some, namely Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, which I sold for Fallout 3.
