[QUOTE=FuzzyPoop;30274064]Don't exaggerate, it would only take 45 minutes if you ran through the maps with the suit and god mode, the game takes about 4 hours if you do it at normal pace, and yes, it's not hard, just a matter of patience to figure out the last levels.[/QUOTE]
I disagree. Also, you originally talked about being frustrated after the first three levels. That is nowhere near the ending. And my friends also agreed that it took them about 2 hours for them to finish their first playthrough.
I tend to only buy games when Steam has them on sale.
Delve Deeper - it looked like a fun turn based strategy game but instead was a slow slow slow turn based strategy game that should have been made into a tile based board game instead. Sometimes the opponents turn can last 10-15 minutes. Boring. Might be fun hotseat though. Will have to wait 10 years until I have a kid old enough to play it.
Humble Indie Bundle 3 (Frozenbyte) - Shadowgrounds is not to my taste, and Cortex Command just seems more complicated than it needs to be for an action strategy game. Still hoping the unreleased game is decent. I paid $10 for it, which is more than the average.
Topple Tower (Xbox 360) - I think that's what it is called. My wife played the demo, thought it was fun, so I put down 800 points on it and she said it was boring. I think it's dull too... only so much stacking you can do before you get tired of it. But, I bought her Puzzle Fighter Turbo, and she loves that.
Trackmania United - $40 on steam, and it is fun, but I should have just stuck with Nations.
Most of my steam games I purchased in sale packs (THQ pack when it was $50) and while some of them are awful, I wouldn't say I regret buying them, because they all came together.
I do regret purchasing $69 worth of Borderlands a week before they cut the price to $29 for the whole package. That was frustrating.
Thief 3
Never could live up to 2
also boring as anything
Homefront.
RE5
APB reloaded (although it was free :3).
It froze for 0 FPS for 30 seconds at a time every 15 seconds, the server was incredibly laggy (one second I was walking down the street, game freezes for 5 seconds, I'm suddenly 600 feet away and I get hit by a car - another time I was trying to climb a fence. I pressed F like 15 times before it finally registered; it carried me over the fence, waited a few seconds, teleported me back behind the fence), and whenever I was in the server for more than 15 minutes, it would suddenly just cut to the loading images, then seconds later some "PunkFreak" or "PunchFreak" would kick me for "Timing out when attempting to update client" - then I'd have to reconnect to the server, which usually takes about 30 minutes just to load "industrial district" and put me through the same cycle over and over...
After the 3rd time of being kicked and having to reconnect, I eventually gave up before even being able to finish the first "mission" - having to remove graffiti from a building, which was inside of a fence (the kind that you can't climb) maze.
And before you say "lol suckish internet/win 98", here's a few fun facts:
I have a 2009, Windows 7 gaming computer. I got it straight from the store, and it was NOT used. I've been using it for around 1.5 years now, as I got it on New Year's Eve 2010, hours away from midnight. and no I don't download porn on it.
When in videogames like Garry's Mod or Bioshock Multiplayer, I have a constant ping of 30-50, so it's not my crappy internet.
It's probably just optimization, and the fact that I was expecting a player-driven GTA IV MMO...
Expectations too high are one of the main reasons videogames crash.
Sort of.

Daikatana, Universal Combat, Tribes: Vengeance, Bioshock, and Deus Ex: Invisible War were all regrettable purchases for me.
Fable 3 kinda disappointed me.
Spore.
Brink.
Dino D-day.
Potato pack. (All of it)
You hated the Potato Pack? But... Killing Floor was in it, and Amnesia.. and Super Meat Boy. Those games alone kind of made it worth it. I thought some of the others were pretty average though.

I'm always tempted by that game.. I love Euro board games... what is so bad about it?
MySims on the Wii.. :frown:
Screw you Official Nintendo Magazine!
MW2
Ok now before the "bandwagon hurr derr" let me explain why it was bad
-Extremely unrealistic, now I'm fine with games being unrealistic but the guns had NO recoil, the mission where you are on a ski jet shooting Glocks with no recoil, reloading with one hand and the fast speed of the jet ski with NO recoil and perfectly hitting NPC's, god no that was annyoing
-Community, 12 year olds everywhere
-Story "Dem russians invading us lets shoot them russians" it needed more background, Russians invading? How bloody original, World in Conflict even though had the whole Russians invading USA had a nice story, different fronts (European front), going from BOTH sides of the battle that was really good and had some nice Cold War history, tactics, reasons behind a battle (like the Russians sneaking through the Atlantic and invading) MW2 was that "you are a super soldier running around shooting them russians"
-No immersion, I felt like another bland NPC sitting there getting shot but some really Dumb AI
-AI , dear god the AI, they purposely miss you like I was standing right in front of one a meter apart and it took half a clip for a bullet to finally hit me.
-Graphics, were average at best, guns look really nice but the whole blood, the textures for buildings & general textures were bad
-Too short and $100 in Australia for a 6 hour game? Im good thanks

@AWarGuy: by realising what a pile of shit this game actually is, you already saved money on not buying the sequels. seriously, in what mind does someone have to be to buy a $100 game? can't you ask some buddy in the US to buy it for you and you give him the money back via paypal?
Farcry 2

in normal person speak what you just said is:
"I'm a massive nerd and think completing a game in 45 minutes is an achievement in life".
lets fight in a thread about opinions
[img]http://filesmelt.com/dl/InternetFight1.gif[/img]
Far Cry 2 seemed okay at first, I liked how you had malaria and had to treat it every now and then, and the combat wasn't too bad, and I liked the large(ish) amount of guns you could get, but after a while, it became pretty annoying, and as I'm sure most people agree, I'm all for open worlds, but making the world so huge and stretched that you have to spend the majority of the game driving doesn't make the game seem more open, especially if you have to constantly pull bullets out of your arse and repair your vehicle every 5 seconds just barely surviving that last bunch of guys who tried to kill you for no fucking reason, the only part where I wasn't shitting myself in anger was the tutorial when nobody fucking tried to kill you. Also, covering this up with amazing body awareness isn't going to make the game any more enjoyable. I know that they were going for a realistic feeling, but they went too far. There's realism, and there's ruining it. Perhaps I would've liked it more if it were like the first game, or maybe at least had something to do with the first game.
Mind you, the missions and faction system were pretty good.
Super meat boy.
Sure it's a good game and all, but it's not a game for me.
But then again, I got it at a sale discount for cheap.
games im glad im not buying :duke nukem forever
from what i hear it has a severe case of
consolitis :ohdear:
Every Steam game apart from TF2, they just sit there being unplayed. I haven't even played half of my games.
[QUOTE=zeebiedeebie;30275425]Homefront.[/QUOTE]
Agree.
Both its graphic and gameplay are so similar to MW2.
Its length is as short as MW2, too. And the story is shit.
The only reason I bought it is since the dev team said "they were inspired by Half-Life 2" and "players may even see some elements of HL2 ".
Oh God, they are not even deserve to mention HL2.
[editline]6th June 2011[/editline]
(1) F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate
New weapons in Extraction Point are just cool, while the ones in this are totally boring.
Crappy story with forgettable characters.
Only things that worth playing in it are those three bonus missions.
(2) Time Shift
Good concept but poor level design.
Very good weapon design but also very weak plot.
Also no one played multiplayer even on the releasing day.
(3) Zombie Driver
Boring and repetitive.
(4) Dino D-Day
I don't know why the fuck I bought it
I could not find a server with <200 ping (since I lived in Asia), means I wasn't even able to have a full game of it.
(5) Natural Selection 2
Can somebody tell me when the hell are the dev team going to finish it?
Plus, again unable to find low ping server. Waste of money.
(6) Homefront
I said it in an above reply.
Need for speed Undercover. somebody shoot me for buying this game. I CAN'T F###ING GET RID OF IT!! :ohdear: :saddowns:

OH GOD THAT MINIVANS GOING IN REVERS AJSDKFSADJFKLSDFJ
True Crime: Streets of LA (PC) - It doesn't run on high settings, and this computer can run games like crysis and left for dead 2 on Max.
The Movies: What the fuck, so boring.
Post Apocalyptic Mayhem: 'Big Environments, mega cars, nuclear tracks' - No, 3 tracks, 3 laps of each and 5 cars.
Farcry 2: Seriously? Just what the fuck. Run here, kill them, run here, kill them too.
Lost Planet: I got lonely just playing it.
Rome Total War: Select all units, click on objective. Win level.
Matrix Online: Pretty fun, new, no, no more support, servers are offline.
Zombie Driver: Clues in the name, sounds awesome, it's literally just driving and killing zombies.
Modern Warfare 2: Let's make the fun COD games into arena games like Unreal Tournament.
This Donald Duck game for the PS2 where it was like he was a comic hero or some bullshit. I just remember it being not good AT ALL. It was kind of like Sly Cooper except it sucked
