Games you regret buying Thread

I've only played the first Stalker game, and it only had two crash points. Both happened when I tried to quicksave in certain spots.

Hmmm mine would be the Postal Fudge Pack, Enter the Matrix, Rainbow Six Vegas, and Soldier of Fortune Payback. Before people start bashing me for RSV its not a bad game its just I do not really like that style of fps game. Just felt like a huge step back to me after RS3 which was amazing.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind — the "miss" system really wasn't the brightest idea ...

Fear 3 - PS3

Surprisingly it's been out for nearly a month; there wasn't much fanfare / build-up ...

I looked up the ending on Youtube, because of the reviews. I was deeply unimpressed (F.E.A.R. 1's ending also kind of was anti-climatic, but it at least got you with a shocker at the end. F.E.A.R. 2's ending was downright disturbing). The games before 3 hadn't exactly scared me, but I loved their intuitive design. It was one of the last shooters to include health packs and an inventory system that was -different- from the Halo 2 system. Now... I've seen that they have stripped the game of health packs, and it seemed like it also lacked new grenades, and apparently the levels have been made a great deal more linear.

That, plus the Fettel ending doesn't even make sense. The Pointman ending seems almost as if it's setting up the game for an expansion pack, dlc, or sequel, but at this point... it seems F.E.A.R. has fallen prey to the thing that eats up any horror story -- sequelism. I guess it was going to happen eventually...

You haven't seen anything, Sir Toppemhat. Watch Red Faction's AI at work. Half my allies in one battle appeared to abandon me. Then I later discovered that they were too busy -running into a mountainside-. Not only that, but I died more often from that game's FRIENDLY AI than I did from enemies. Friendly fire, setting off my bombs while I'm next to them, driving me over with their vehicle, driving me over as I try to ask "can I get a ride?", leaving me to die by EDF, and generally just having a competence level lower than that of a squirrel.

Did I forget to mention before how much I regretted even putting dollars into getting Red Faction? I wish, if I had spent any, that I would have spent 5 (at most) dollars. The demo was highly misleading (trust me, it's one of the best levels in the entire game), and now I am left with a game that has questionable multiplayer, a weak singleplayer campaign (The Player -- "Our base is under attack and we have no chance of victory!" The game -- "Hold your ground so that you can defend this useless crater that is no longer even classified as a base even though you have plenty of vehicles to flee with!"), and only lets me use it's best mode (wrecking crew) for about 1-3 minutes... (I'd like to blow it all up -then- leave to the next map)

My only disappointments with Far Cry 2 were that I felt it would have been more fun if I had a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller (console version), the malaria thing, and the ending.

Maybe one of the earlier ones.

Lol, yeah, same here I remember this one time I was having a lot of trouble with a certain tank that kept killing me. Then on like the third try or something, I thought "Screw it.", and I threw as many detpacks as I could onto the hood of the car, then drove it over a ramp, and had it fly down to the tank, all while in my head I was screaming "Eat THIS you mother ****er!". So I jumped out of the car while it was in the air, and detonated it. Then the weirdest thing happened. The shock wave threw me over a nearby mountain, and nearly killed me. So I just got to my feet, and ran around the mountain, and sure enough, the only thing left of that damn tank was scrap metal. Good times...
I haven't played any other RF games yet though.

I actually liked the "sniping" mission. I didn't do much sniping, I just flew into the building, shot the floors with the nano rifle, flew up with the jet pack, and hammered the snipers.

Yes, I tried that. Didn't work so well as the game decided to glitch. And not let them fall through the then-gone ceiling!

I repeat, my playthrough of Guerilla was more a pain in the arse than anything else.

I sincerely doubt you'll give an actual excuse to why the one mission has you drive across half the bloody game map, just because they want to make a twist. My only belief is they do it so the try to make you so bored of driving that you forget the obvious plot-point.

That strikes me as the kind of thing that would be regretful back when it was new, but would now be a cool collectors thing to have around these days. Like owning a piece of gaming history.
