Video Games You Regret Purchasing

[Sydney Spitfire]

I regret buying Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 as the graphics are not good on my pc and the multiplayer is a lost cause as my internet is a bit too weak to handle it without long loading times

[MacG]

I regret buying the PS4 altogether.
I regret Need for Speed Rivals. I've really enjoyed nfs games on Nintendo platforms.
I am liking the driving aspect of gta v though.

Mixed feelings on the PS4. Last game I played was last of us. However I use it for netflix everyday. I was using a PC with a remote before. There are pros and cons to both, but I think the PS4 makes netflix work just a little bit easier. I had been hoping the order was going to be good, but then they told us the framerate was crap. Then we found out that is way too short. sigh..... At least I played Life is Strange on PC. That is one of the best games I've played in probably 5+ years.

Devil May Cry, HD Collection — PlayStation 3. It's the compilation of the first three games in the series.

I hadn't played any Devil May Cry games before, and I wanted to see what they were all about.
I thought they were awful. The first game was just button-mashing from one room to the next, it had terrible camera angles, and it had no story, or a very badly written story. I just kept playing it to the end, hoping it would get better, but I was underwhelmed.

I wasn't impressed with the second game either. About the only improvement I found was that there were two playable characters.


Here's what confuses me: when I read the reviews, I keep seeing a lot of praise for the first game. I just don't understand what people see in it.
What confuses me even further is that everyone seems to hate the second game. I don't understand why it was any worse. I thought they were equally bad.



The saving grace was the third game. It had a much better story, a more well told story. A story that made sense.
Also, the camera movements were improved greatly.
It was the only playable game in the compilation, but that's not saying much.

I want to get the new Xbox but I know as soon as I do they will announce the new model that's $50 cheaper than the last one. It's kinda reckless spending but at the same time I'm transitioning and a machine won't abandon me because I'm not cisgender

Demon Souls. I played it for thirty minutes without getting past the first boss. Took it back to GameStop and bought Mass Effect 3. No regrets.

Have you finished ME3? If so what did you think of the ending?

[awilliams1701]

Personally I thought ME3 was the worst in the series. Yes in many ways the story felt more immersive, but I didn't like the lack of dialog choices. I ABSOLUTELY DESPISED the ending. I actually have played that game twice. The second time the revised endings were available. They still sucked. I was convinced I knew how that game was going to end. I just didn't know the details. Boy was I wrong.

[awilliams1701]

For reference I've played ME1 & 2 dozens of times each. I've also played Dragon Age 2 dozens of times. I must be the only one that prefers DA2 over DA1.

Waterworld   I ended up donating it to a Thrift Shop.

[King Malachite]

I'm kind of regretting buying 007: Tommorrow Never Dies and Marvel vs Capcom 3.

I liked DA 2 better because of the combat changes and all, but I don't like that you HAVE to be a human.  The storyline was good, the combat was good, all that, but DA 1 is better (to me) in the way that you can be more than just a human.

In DA:I, I'm a Qunari all the way.  I even plan to have the Qunari symbol tattooed on me. (Huge BioWare fanboy here!)

[Aubrey1day]

For me it would be Age of Conan, I ordered it online while playing the trial version. I think I quit around level 20 and never opened the box when it came. I still have it in the wrapper somewhere.

The Secret World would be my #2. I loved the theme behind the game but the art style did not work for me. :c

[Sulmor10]

Pokémon white and Pokémon platinum for the DS. I never ended up finishing either. I felt like Platinum was just a ripoff with too many similarities to D&P, and I found it quite hard to progress in White for some reason. I actually really enjoyed D&P and B&W2, though!

[Sulmor10]

I somewhat regret buying tomodachi life (so far), however, I'm giving it another chance.

I'm gonna get controversial here: I don't like Minecraft.

Maybe if I play it a bit more I'll get into it, but it just doesn't really seem like my cup of tea. *shrugs*

[awilliams1701]

I've refused because it doesn't seem like a game. Its seems like its more of a builder. I have a much better builder called Unreal Engine 4 and a couple of years ago Unreal Development Kit (which was basically UE3).

I don't like Minecraft either, but I like a lot of the concepts! Terraria was great, and inspired by minecraft.
Being able to just take anything in the world and craft out of it is just fun!

[awilliams1701]

Terrarria felt more like a SNES game. It was barely a builder, but felt a LOT more like a game. Unfortunately I never had anyone to play it with and gave up on it. Its obvious to me that its really more of a co-op game.

[WildThing]

I regret EA UFC...TWICE. I hoped it would be better the second time. I was wrong. I did the same thing expecting a different result.

Also, I kind of regret buying my PS4 FOR NOW, mainly because there really aren't any (that many) good games out yet. I AM excited for Mankind Divided though.

I DID ask for this.
