[QUOTE=G-Guy;35044351]Thinking back, I regret buying Company of Heroes back in 2006 (collector's edition too) because my PC was so shitty it couldn't run it. [editline]7th March 2012[/editline] Did you try forwarding ports?[/QUOTE] Its the actual router. I have a Thomson router and as it turns out, does not work with Company of Heroes. I even googled it to make sure
Easy one: Hellgate London
Mass Effect 3 lol... Just kidding, thats 1 week from now.
I paid $60 plus tax for Saints Row 2. God help me. I feel bad for whoever bought Postal 3.
Mass Effect 3. I pre-ordered it, but I managed to get a hold of one of those early copies. I wasted 60 bucks.
[QUOTE=A big fat ass;35045763]I paid $60 plus tax for Saints Row 2. God help me. I feel bad for whoever bought Postal 3.[/QUOTE] Saints Row 2 is actually quite amazing if it runs well Better than SR3 in my opinion
sr3 is a contentless piece of shit
Dead Island. I thought that game was supposed to be fun. If you haven't bought it but have been considering it, let me give you the rundown: Take the Blunt Weapons Expert. You never find guns, rarely find sharp weapons, and throwing is worthless. Blunt weapons errywherr. Succeed for a while. Then go to a new area and be suddenly swamped with endless zombies. Give up and never play again.

Vampire Rain. Nuff said
Commander Keen: Complete Pack on Steam. By "complete", it means "only the Keen games made by Id", which is all except the two best games in the series.
Mass Effect 3, I have never been more bitterly disappointed and angry over an ending before, but Bioware managed to pull it off. They made it feel like nothing you ever did mattered, nothing was taken into consideration, and nothing made a bit of fucking sense. The series is practically ruined for me now, which makes me wish I had never bought the game.
Oblivion and Far Cry 2 I don't hate these games, just hate them on the 360.
Dead Island, should of just rented
From Dust, I suppose I mostly played From Dust to validate my purchase, however I regret buying it, especially since pirates got better service initially than those who bought it.
LotR: Conquest. Last time I bought a game spontaneously.
Red Faction: Guerilla It just failed to entertain me.
Fallout 3 GOTY Everything felt so eh and it almost seemed like the goal of the devs was to break immersion as much as possible without anyone noticing it immediately.
STALKER Godfather II Halo Reach
Skyrim I have received no enjoyment from Skyrim in any form. (Vanilla, mods should not make you enjoy a game.)
The Polynomial. Fucking game nearly blinded me because it was so bright.
In other news, I bought tons of games that I could have saved so much money by not buying because I NEVER play them because I find then very bland. Terraria Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines Half Life 2: Episode 1 Metro 2033 Serious Sam HD: The First Encounter Team Fortress Classic Universe Sandbox Hitman: Codename 47 Hitman: Silent Assassin Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Singleplayer (Multiplayer is fine) Spore Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Starcraft 1 Starcraft 2(Collectors) World of Warcraft Once I dig out my game cases I can get you more of a list Most games are very boring to me. (I would put Battlefield 3 on there, but I got a key for free so I can't complain)
Battlefield 2! couldn't play it for 3 years. Until i bought a new computer :)
Dear Esther
DC: Universe - The game was basically dead on arrival. It had a good concept but no redeeming qualities, destined to be free2play from the start. Plus the whole Sony debacle last year. Stronghold 3 - Got it for $34 pre-order on GMG. Easily the worst $34 I've spent on anything. Maybe if I wasn't such a fan of the old Stronghold games I would appreciate this pile of shit. Brink - Again, got it for $34 pre-order on D2D, so I didn't pay *full* price for it, but it still sucked all the same. I might be the only defender of Brink ever, but I still think it's an "okay" game. But the game had serious netcode issues from day one and didn't get truly fixed until a month later. By then the game was already did. Servers turned into desolate wastelands and everyone fled back for more fun games. I'm surprised they haven't done a F2P model with Brink yet as it could easily become one of the top F2P games. The new Twisted Metal - I'm sure it's a good game but I'm having a hell of a time getting into it, kind of regret buying it.
LA Noire As much as I enjoyed the game, I beat it in a few days with the highest rating on all cases, and within a week had found pretty much all of the secret cars and done the patrol missions. The free roam was really limited as well, so once you completed the tasks given there wasn't much else to do except buy DLC for it. Would have made a much better rental.
Stalker, Dragon Age: Origins, Modern Warfare 3.
The Binding of Isaac. I fucking love it, my brother found and played it, my mom is super Christian. help.
I kinda regret buying battlefield 3. It's just that the singleplayer story was so boring and multiplayer networking sucks. It makes me angry way too often and I can't have a good time.
Indigo Prophecy : I had $2-3 on a debit card and saw this game on the store listing, I thought it would be a good buy as I remember enjoying a demo of it for the PS2 when I was younger... I was wrong, the first scene (which was from the demo I played) was neat, but I couldn't put myself to play the rest of it.
