Games you wish you hadn't bought. - Games

[QUOTE=TahMahn;35168453]I actually haven't regretting buying a single game. Not even once, or so I think.[/QUOTE] Then why post?

Burnout Paradise : Ultimate Box. What a total piece of shit. Horrible animations, horrible physics, empty feeling arcadey and poorly detailed game world. Just feels like a $2 consolitus-riddled piece of shit... This is the ONE game I really want to remove from my Steam games list - physically remove once and for all.

[QUOTE=Speedfalcon;35168540]Don't get L.A. Noire either, I heard it's even worse than GTA4 in this sense.[/QUOTE] L.A. Noire runs pretty well with my computer, while GTA4 doesn't. So, not sure about that one claim.

Are you sure you were playing the same Burnout: Paradise as me (and everyone else), because, for its age it looks really good still. The physics are a bit wonky in places (crashing is pot luck whether you become a box of steel death or not), but the gameplay is quite solid. It's meant to feel arcadey, the entire series is arcade racing. The world is empty, but that can't be helped considering you are constrained to the roads, and drive at ludicrous speed all the damn time. You're entitled to your opinion on the game, but it most certainly isn't a "consolitus" piece of shit. It's quite a good effort for Criterion, a mainly console only developer.

Rift should have waited until Guild Wars 2.

[QUOTE=MedicmanV500;35168064][B]The Movies[/B] and Lord of the Rings Online. I picked them up because they were like $4 at Big Lots and never touched them. lol[/QUOTE] play it right now

[QUOTE=TylerTheCripple;35158902]Dont hate me , but Metal Gear Solid HD collection for [B]360[/B]. So much so im trading it in tomorrow.. Not even trolling.[/QUOTE] Thats your problem.

Haze and Gotham City Impostors

[QUOTE=Cold Finger;35169453]L.A. Noire runs pretty well with my computer, while GTA4 doesn't. So, not sure about that one claim.[/QUOTE] Specs? Settings? FPS?

[QUOTE=cdr248;35175505]Thats your problem.[/QUOTE] How? I'm pretty sure there aren't any exclusives for either version.

[QUOTE=~Myst;35154420]I can agree that TF2 went to shit over time. It pretty much went from "Go this way rush the cart/cap the intel spy over here watch out for that sentry on B" to "WTS 44 unusuals SWEETS 6.235 vintage EACH or 2 MAXHEADZ or 55343.2445 REFINED AND SWEETS no lowballs or I'LL BAN U" Some people say that's overshooting it but in every game I go to it's spammed in the chats non stop. Also the performance really dropped. I used to run it fine but now I get horrible FPS and it crashes very often.[/QUOTE] You know I can't really go one way or the other when it comes to how trading has affected the game since I haven't played the game in years, and I actually agree with you about the performance drop, but seriously the game is five years old. Not wanting to play it anymore after that long does not make anyone deserving of a refund, regardless of whether it was "ruined" or you just got bored. It's not like Robin Walker went back in time and fucked up TF2's launch. There's a lot of things I dislike about TF2, but the fact that I payed $60 for it isn't one of them.

The Turok reboot It was okay, just disappointing as hell, especially since I loved the original N64 ones. Edit:Actually, all of the Turok games after the N64 ones. Evolution was horrible and the reboot was...average.

[QUOTE=Cold Finger;35169453]L.A. Noire runs pretty well with my computer, while GTA4 doesn't. So, not sure about that one claim.[/QUOTE] I haven't played it, but from what I gather its not super expansive in world size and detail. Also I'm sure rockstar tried a bit harder after the GTA IV optimziation fiasco so it just sort of makes sense that it'd have better performance.

Minecraft. Not because it sucks, i love it. Because it swallows time like a blackhole.

An old one, but half-life: source. When I bought it I didn't know anything about it and thought it was gonna be even more amazing, but it wasn't.

yeah but that's because you're a kid. i remember it took me a year to get past the first level in power pete, and my main profile on banjo kazooie has almost 200 hours logged into it.

Even if you didn't like Spore, it still has a pretty decent creature creator and other creator things.

Joint Task Force Awful , awful game.

I somewhat regret buying the first Mass Effect. The gameplay seems a bit stale, it's like they tried combining shooter/RPG elements and completely fucked up both parts. Most of my time was spent hiding behind walls waiting for my heal to get off the cooldown or waiting for my shields to recharge, while at the same time playing dressup with all the useless weapons they gave me every ten seconds.

Brink... What a fucking shit game

[QUOTE=Speedfalcon;35168540]Don't get L.A. Noire either, I heard it's even worse than GTA4 in this sense. [/QUOTE] It runs pretty well actually.

It's been a while since anybody has said Operation Flashpoint 2. NEVER FORGET (the [del]disappointment[/del] mediocrity)

Prince Of Persia Forgotten Sands. I bought it expecting it to be similar to the Sands Of Time series and fill in the gaps but it ended up leaving me with more questions and it answered nothing. The worst thing is none of the story will ever add up.

[QUOTE=Blazyd;35180846]Even if you didn't like Spore, it still has a pretty decent creature creator and other creator things.[/QUOTE] all i did with it was make penises and stupid ugly things nothing cool really

Soul Calibur V. Fuck.

[QUOTE=Crreeaammy;35183388]Soul Calibur V. Fuck.[/QUOTE] I was thinking of buying it, what makes you regret it?

Dead Island

Dragon Age Origins the first game. I really enjoyed it until I got up to this fucking pain in the ass impossible to kill boss. I forgot what boss it was but it was in a cave somewhere fairly early in the game. I gave up and traded in the game.

[QUOTE=Johnny Guitar;35185194]Dead Island[/QUOTE] if i had bought dead island i would have cut my own head off. sure at first it's satisfying but after a while it feels really disengaged and unfulfilling. god, you guys need to get gamefly accounts.
