I don't get why people are leaving dumb ratings in this thread. I don't give a shit if you're gay for valve and you liked L4D I regret buying it. It was buggy and they turned around and crapped out a sequel a year later.
Spliner Cell: Double Agent Left 4 Dead After playing Chaos Theory, I thought it could only get better. I was wrong, it was fucking awful. As for L4D, don't get me wrong, it was great, but it lacked so much content. And now that L4D2 can use the L4D characters, it felt like my money was wasted. Other than those two games, I usually buy games that I know I'll keep playing for a long time.

[QUOTE=MoarToast;28949471]Oh god not 505. The games those bell-ends produce are just comical. They are the absolute [url=http://www.gamespot.com/games.html?type=company&mode=78549]kings of shovelware,[/url] Bizarrely, they tend to also always produce for every console except the Wii, like they don't want to be considered just any shovelware company, they want to play in the big boy's club of drivel that takes little more than a month to produce and that only clueless parents would buy in a moment of desperation the day before the shops close for christmas.[/QUOTE] Didn't 505 make Naughty Bear? I tried it once, never played it again. And I'm freaking happy I didn't.

Bloodbowl- dark elf edition. Rouge warrior. Fallout new vegas (due to the crashes. Otherwise i would have played it to this day) Fallen earth Unreal tournament 3 (black edition) Modern warfare 2 Dragon age origins Tenchu Z Halo reach and that pretty much it.
Borderlands MW2 Flatout UC Assassin's Creed 1
Borderlands and perhaps Farcry 2
I kind of regret buying MW2, it was okay game, but the price was pretty high.
[QUOTE=kevlar jens;28947079]why did you buy the orange box for the 360!?!?![/QUOTE] Good question. Luckily it was a gift. [editline]2nd April 2011[/editline] It was also before I had a Steam account.
[i]Dead Rising[/i] - Simple but great concept ruined by bad choices by the developers. Asinine save system (interesting concept but flawed execution), shitty controls (unlike Resident Evil 5 which had tank controls done right), and really tough bosses (I know I kinda expect unrealism from a zombie game but why does it take 150 pistol rounds to kill an ordinary gun shop owner?). I got so frustrated with that game. From what little I played of Dead Rising 2, they fixed the controls part; not sure of what else [i]Guitar Hero III[/i] - Nuff' said. [i]Dragon Age: Origins[/i] (Xbox 360) - Later got the superior PC version [i]Gears of War[/i] (PC) - WHY ME!!?!?!? Later got the 360 version used but free. I actually really liked [i]Final Fantasy XIII[/i]. I just got all the achievements on the 360 version just yesterday. Granted, I don't have any experience with previous installments. I agree with alot of the criticisms of the game, but I still like it. Other games I like that seem to get alot of hate that I like are [i]Mirror's Edge[/i];and [i]Halo[/i] games (IMO, decent console shooters that are fun, unlike Call of Duty games). Games I don't like a big part of but don't regret buying are [i]BioShock[/i] (attack Big Daddy -> get killed -> VitaChamber respawn without penalty -> repeat; yes, I know about the option) and [i]Modern Warfare 2[/i] (I don't play its terribad multiplayer, but its single player was merely OK).
[b]Modern Warfare 2[/b] - The campaign didn't live up to the original, and had, hands down, the worst multiplayer I've ever seen [b]Black Ops[/b] - Slightly better than MW2, still shit though [b]Dragon Age 2[/b] - I love almost all Bioware games, but numerous glitches, reuse of areas, and a dull story made this one almost unplayable for me [b]Halo 3: ODST[/b] - Not a bad "game" by any means, I just hate spending sixty dollars on an expansion pack [b]Fable 3[/b] - Not bad, probably. Whenever I try to play it on my Xbox it freezes at the title screen [b]Gears of War 2[/b] - The single reason why I don't listen to my friends' game recommendations anymore I was thinking about listing Mirror's Edge too, but despite its many flaws I still enjoyed it at times.
Black ops MW2
monday night combat
Mw2, Black Ops and Homefront. All are overrated generic shooters.
[QUOTE=Maragol;28949799]Bloodbowl- dark elf edition. Tenchu Z [/QUOTE] Man I remember checking the demo out for this. It was like "What if we made Tenchu worse?" My condolences. It was a very unfortunate cap on an amazing series :( I quite enjoyed Bloodbowl though... In any case I also regret Monday Night Combat. The creep aspect is usually irrelevant thanks to the ANNIHILATOR. Also the only way to win is if your whole team abuses cheese strategies.
Two Worlds : EPIC EDITION it wasnt very epic
Saints' Row 2 for PC- Wasn't worth the three dollars because of its notoriously bad porting job.
[QUOTE=Gordonator;28950871]Two Worlds : EPIC EDITION it wasnt very epic[/QUOTE] I liked the original Two Worlds unlike everyone else I've talked to
Trauma Center That shit got way too fucking hard for my tastes. PELT ME TO DEATH WITH GAYBOWS!
AVP 2010 i bought it full price on steam. I have had more fun taking a shit.
Dungeons, I expected another dungeon keeper. £30 wasted.
I regret buying Red Faction: Guerilla. While I appreciate that it's a sandbox, the physics were... awful, and the story uninteresting, frankly. It also didn't live up to RF 1/2, which would've been fine, had the first two things been better. It was also piss easy.
Bioshock Borderlands (kinda) Breach COD4+ Fallen Earth Global Agenda Left4Dead Monday Night Combat Red Orchestra Unreal Gold If I was able to resist compulsive buying I could be buying/preordering MUCH better games right now.
Princess Unicorn Race 4. Should've gotten Fairy Princess Slumber Party 6.
Breach.
Call of Duty: Black Ops. C&C:3, Red Alert 3. I was a DIE HARD Command and Conquer fan, but EA ruined it with those two. Back to Zero Hour i went.
Call of Duty: Black Ops. I'll never buy anything in the future from Treyarch.
Kane & Lynch 2. It's not a bad game as per se, but it's not a good one either.
[QUOTE=GrizzlyBear;28951049]AVP 2010 i bought it full price on steam. I have had more fun taking a shit.[/QUOTE] I bought it for $2.50
