Games you regret buying Thread

I finished Deadspace 2's first 7 chapters in 3 hours, on normal difficulty, after having not played the game for a few months. That being said, the ending chapters turn the difficulty up to eleven. The characters you encounter in Deadspace 2 are significantly more interesting and less annoying - although frankly, Hammond from DS and Tiedman from DS2 seem a bit too similar -.

I hope when I buy it, that the multiplayer is as good as I'm hoping (dang EA and their Online Activation Codes prevent me from playing that from my friend's copy).

Same here if i'm honest the combat was bad the world was kinda samey all the way through and i didnt care about the quests. skyrim is looking nice though

No controversy there as you are fully right. And unfortunately Skyrim is going even below that (especially bastardizing the story and game mechanics).

I just ment that people expect you to like it just because its oblivion :p
Now, when you overload the game with mods, the game starts to get more fun. But the vanilla game? Finished it once, never again :p
And there is no denying skyrim looks nice, but pretty games can still be bad (naaah :p)

Yeah...I'm so glad I didn't buy that game. I borrowed the wii version from the library...

Basically, it was like this:

Step 1: Watch a cutscene.

Step 2: Repeatedly click A, until everyone in the room is dead.

Step 3: Wait for reinforcements.

Step 4: Repeat steps 2 & 3 about 5 times.

Step 5: Wait for elevator door to open.

Step 6: Go into the elevator, and leave to the next room.

Step 7: Repeat the process until you reach the end.

I don't know if the PC version was that bad, but the wii version was practically unbearable. I mean, they didn't even let you fight the boss fights! It just skipped strait to the finishing moves.

Personally, if a game is out for other consoles I tend to pick those versions over the Wii. Normal ports just struck me as being few and far between.

Libraries have games now?

It's called a Ludothek.

So games I've regretted purchasing... People will hate me for this one.

CALL OF DUTY 2: BIG RED ONE
Being a die hard fan of First Person Shooters and WW2 since I was 4 (Fell in love with Wolf3D back in '92) makes me pretty biased to liking the game... The bloody violence is pretty low, storyline's mostly "Hey! Let's go here, and get shot at by Nazis... They're bad guys!" I honestly felt like there was no real point to the story unlike MOH and MOHU where each mission is from the OSA to help the war effort from sabotaging rail guns to blowing up a mustard gas facility, I had more of a feeling of "I have to win." COD was a big letdown for me and to this day not a fan of the COD series... The multiplayer is okay but really, pretty much every FPS nowadays has multiplayer.

GRAND THEFT AUTO 4
Being a fan of San Andreas and seeing all the stuff you could do from working out to getting haircuts made me stoked to buy GTA4. I wanted to make myself like Dolph Lundgren from Rocky 4 and was very letdown that they took the majority of customization from the previous game out of the new one. I felt like the game seriously took 2 steps backward and I was playing GTA3 again with a few new features like dating, I was pissed. Luckily Saint's Row 2 was released and I was able to sell GTA4 for the same amount of SR2... And that made me happy.

DEAD SPACE
I was actually told by a friend that I'd love this game as I loved Resident Evil... Yeah, the game is creepy but got kinda annoying. The first chapter I thought the game was cool but after that I just felt like I was playing a clone of Resident Evil. I still played the game though, found it a little enjoyable and then I got to this one level, don't remember which exactly, but there's this alien you can't kill! Here I am shooting at him constantly trying to fight him off and I get a radio call "I unlocked the door"... Well isn't that battle a little pointless! So I left, killed some beasties, picked up an item, now some psycho-religious guy turns off the oxygen and I have to go back to that room with Mr. Invincible! Tried a few times to get passed it but I'm just like "Done! Can't stand this game!" I kinda felt like one of those kids from the GameFly commercials that bought bad games and tossed their TVs out the window... Wasn't as stupid though. lol

FALLOUT: NEW VEGAS
... I really can't say the game is all that bad, but it feels a bit more like a Fallout 3 mod than a new game. Bought it as I love Oblivion and Fallout 3, but was disappointed with how you have open ended gameplay but going to New Vegas the quick way is full of the really tough creatures and it's a pain to get by them. It's like the developers purposely wanted to laugh and say "You have to take the long way! Haha!" And you know, this wouldn't normally bother me but sometimes these creatures get into the town I started off in and kill me when my EXP level is still at 1. This isn't even on the hardcore difficulty but normal that this also happens. I dunno, maybe it's just a glitch or something but still a lame one at that.

There's a few others but can't think of them at the moment. Still I think I've given quite a bit of input on the matter.

De.wikipedia.org . No idea how this is named in English though. Hoped it's the same word as it's derived from Latin.

All you gotta do is stasis him and run past him by shooting his arms or legs till they explode ONCE, but I'm sure you know that by now. Then Find the Engine room, stasis him when hes behind the ship and run the the engine room and bamn hes dead. Or if its where you need to cryofreeze him do the same thing.  Yeah and of course the game reminded me of Resident Evil but it was still its own great game.

   For me it was Clear Sky. Love the other two in to series and loved this one also but if I knew it was going to bug me and crash me to hell to where I can't even finish the game then no thanks.

...I believe you missed the point of the game/fight (it's not meant to be "better" than Resident Evil. It's meant for those of us who want that type of gameplay coming from someone other than Capcom). The reason the one boss beast cannot be directly killed is because that "psycho-religious guy" turned the Necromorph healing factor up to 11. There are two ways to kill him, and you do both (I frankly loved both ways, because they involved pulling off a cool stunt of forward thinking) in the course of the game. Yes, fighting him seems pointless -- but if you take out his legs, and just leave him that way, and keep using stasis on him -- then he barely moves. You can run away easily. It's meant to be a chase sequence.

I also seem to (from my understanding of Resident Evil) understand that Resident Evil doesn't make you waste half of your ammo if you aren't smart enough to cut off the limbs and head of your opponent. The air being shut off is a great way to build up tension, as were the zero-G moments. The only thing I can honestly complain about in Deadspace (aside from Kendra's insecant need to whine about every new twist in the game's plot) is the turret segment. That first one with the asteroids.... is damn near impossible to beat unless you study it like a textbook.

Really? I'd admit that it was hard since the controls on the PC were a bit mediocre but I've never lost to the asteroids destroying the ship even after beating the game 3 times. Loved the whole game and scared to me Sh*ts because I always played it at night alone.

  Also another game I "Regretted" buying was Shadow Of Colossus. I couldn't figure out how the damn game worked, and where to fight the bosses so I gave up on it and was pissed that I spent 20$ on it. But then about a year later I sold it to a friend for 5$ dollar, and now sadly I hear it is one of the best games ever to come out on a console. Maybe not the best but one of the most innovating I guess I should say.

Debating on trying that one. I understand it's more of an emotional tale / epic boss fighting sort of game. Also a very twisted ending that you don't see coming.
