The games you wish you never bought...

What are some games that you bought and feel dissatisfied with to the point you wish you hadn't bought them?

Also try to state why unless you have too many to list. This is a discussion after all.

1. Resistance 2 - First of all, I hated the first one. Anyway, I was at the store with my friend looking at games and he recommended this game because he said it had extremely high ratings from both users and critics and it was much different from the first, so I figured why not. The single player was decent but after completing it I didn't really feel like replaying it, so no replay value here. Also, I thought the multiplayer was garbage, no appeal to me. Definitely wish I hadn't wasted $60 on it.

2. Call of Duty: World at War - Again another recommendation from my friend (and his last). It felt like a modded version of Call of Duty 4 and to make matters even worse I completed the single player within 3 hours. Zombie mode was fun but didn't make the purchase worth it.

3. Killzone 2 - I am guilty of buying into the hype. It's not necessarily the controls that killed it for me. I thought they were tolerable. But for some reason I dreaded the campaign and the generic cast of characters. The pace didn't feel right to me, the weapons were boring and so were the enemies. I got rid of this game within 2 days from purchase.

4. Prototype - I don't know why I got this one. It's a fun game for what it's worth but it's also a very generic and repetitive sand box game with no replay value. In other words it's best for a rental.

That's about it for me. The rest of my collection I am satisfied with.

Far Cry 2: Tedious, repetitive, annoying constant respawns Assassin's Creed: Extremely repetitive Burnout Paradise: No map marker makes it annoying to navigate in the sandbox...every single crash turns to the "slow motion mode"....sometimes even when you hit a pavement at a slow pace, you'll get the bullet time...bleh.verbalfilth

Anyway, the only PS3 game I regret buying is Uncharted. Wow... I tried to enjoy the game, I really did, but I just couldn't get into it.

You should stop listening to your friends' recommendations, haha. :P

There are only a few which comes to my mind like Golden Axe or Sonic 07, sadly two games from Sega :/

Killzone 2 is the only one, really.

Wow really? Because they have pretty much the same kind of gameplay. Uncharted 2 is just an improved version. You didn't play Uncharted 1 after 2 did you?

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"][QUOTE="sexy_fool69"] the 1st or the second cuz im planning on buying the second one soonamsfm6

Nope. He's the infamous "I hate Uncharted but Uncharted 2 was amazing" guy.

If you didn't like those games.... maybe you just don't like games. Get a new hobbie, cuz you be crazy not to like those.

Cross Edge. Not a good game at all.

Far Cry 2 is AWESOME! You're just not patient and suck at games.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate - Worst game I've ever played, no replay value and collectibles are glitched so no achievements there.

Alone in the Dark; Inferno - OK gae but still recommended for a rental. It has a good story. That's it really

To be honest I haven't regretted a purchase really. Despite what many say about AC I actually loved Assassins Creed, the controls were smooth, the fights were fun, and the game was very pretty :P I think I've done too much research before buying a game, usually look at gameplay videos and stuff like that. I have to say the most disappointing game I've played is Resistance 2. I LOVED the 1st one, played it like 10 times (A lot for me lol) but something about Resistance 2 didn't feel right, but I will probably be picking up Resistance 3 later next year lolrahul_batta

I agree. So what ifAssassin's Creed wasrepetitive, it was a solid game

Dragon Age origins : horrible gameplay, you have to switch from mashing your preset action on square/triangle/circle, change characters and stop action and get into menus or sub menus or sub sub menus, gets boring very very fast. Very sad as the voice acting is top notch and story seem interesting (bad thing as they created an original world you always have warrior, mage, rogue and spells you've seen million times).

Of all my games, maybe Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising... i should've picked up LBP instead...

Killzone 2. Fake look visuals (as said, everything looks like it was cut out of a magazine and pasted on a board...), odd controls, and absolutely no real story depth.

Cross Edge. Not a good game at all.

Only next gen game I really didn't like was Heavenly Sword. The game had so much promise. But those stupid missions where you had to man a catapolt and attack enemy waves drained the life at of the game. Or the crap boss battles. And I guess star wars:force unleashed. It was ok but the fun got sucked out when it just became a game about grinding for powers. Most of which you wont use. Just stopped caring when I got to the death star.

Turok - unfortunately this was my first PS3 game. I wanted to get Resistance Fall of Man, but Gamestop only had the empty box. I guess one of the employees was busy playing the actual disc at home. Anyhow, the aiming controls in Turok are pitiful. Very twitchy and it takes forever to actually get your sights on a target. The story is pathetic. You spend the first third of the game looking for some communications module, only to have it get broken immediately after you find it. Everytime you think you're about to accomplish something, no - you just fall through a hole in the ground and you're battling giant scorpions in a cave - again. I climbed on top of a building and found a mounted machine gun to shoot some giant scorpions with. It had the worst aiming system of all time. It was easier to just aim in a single spot and let the scorpions walk into your fire than to try to shoot them. And the thing didn't start shooting until a second or two after you pulled the trigger. And then there was the mini-gun. Oh, I was so excited when I found that. Then I found that it took dozens of shots to kill an enemy soldier with it. What a joke. And when you'd get killed, you'd have to play through the last several minutes, exactly - precisely - as you did before. You'd be aiming at spots on a wall because you knew an enemy popped up there. And considering how horrible the aiming system was, you needed all the time you could get to aim at something. It was boring and tedious in the extreme.

Lair - bought this back when - with all the hype and the 1080p on my new tv - it suckkked

Force Unleashed - I dont know about everyone else but my cope seemed veryyyy glitchy and it just annoys me that LucasArts can put this crap out and still sell it with two words "Star Wars"

DarkSector

Lair

Haze

Maybe Prototype

i dont really regret my purchases. i was a lil letdown by sw:tfu but after u max out your powers u feel like a god amongst insects.

the only real one would be gta4. all the praise and hype for a game that makes u go on "man dates" glad i only paid $20 for it.

Splinter Cell: Double Agent

GTA4 - after all the hype and everyone saying how good it was, and was very happy with gta san andrea's in the direction it took, i was hoping for a more better game, the stupid dates with girls what you had to do, and stupid friends kept ringing and the places you went arent that good once you been to the shows 3 or 4times you've seen it all, plus for me gta was about fun, and always a rag to riches story because thats wot u want a realistic city where u can go round and blast people and cause mayhem without getting done and living a life of crime, just felt no matter how far into the story u went with niko u just never go anywhere except a new place, and the driving is awful. it's about time they bring back a proper gangsta gta and have it so u can get pumped and get the best clothes and guns and be top dog, saints row has the idea except the graphics and the story is a little just plain and easy but, with the customisation and the fun thats how a game like that should be.

ghost busters - being a fan of the films, i decided to get this game, the story is quite nice and enjoyed it but it was just a run and shoot game, it got me when the first main ghost decided to make ghost water and them things came after u, i was sure if they were spiders robots or wot. silly werent worth the money.

For myself there are a few which spring to mind

Haze: For myself it just felt like genetic bland first person shooter with a steroid gimmick

FarCry 2: This is why Sandbox games and FPS games never mix it just seemed to go on and on and on till i traded in the game.

MW2: Story mode was alright I guess seemed to be "place set peice from typical hollywood action film" after another after another. I got bored with Spec ops and well the Mulit player mode always seems to be filled with ****'* when ever I play which has put me off the game completely

Prototype: Baring the OTT voilence it was a very very bland game and even in 720P looked freaking ugly as sin (talking Suanne Boyle ugly here fokes)

Okay, my time to shine :')

Dark Sector: Nothing new, little to no narrative made it dull. Game play was just monotonous

Infamous: Overhyped. Combat was boring. City was boring. Graphics were unimpressive and every weapon was just a gun. The electrical powers were gimmicky. The mission design was horrible and the story didn't pick up until towards the end.

Killzone 2: Again, overhyped. Amazing graphics technically but the amount of gray and brown used was insulting. Controls felt imprecise. Pacing wasn't very good at all. Story was lame and full of cliches. Multi player was nothing on MW.

I regret buying Mirror's Edge. Could not get past the tutorial. Couldn't keep my hands steady enough for balance walks along pipes. Faith kept falling off. I'm thinking of trading in the game to Gamestop or Game Crazy.

Far Cry 2 and Street Fighter IV

The majority of PSN titles I've purchased: (some I don't like, but all of them I just don't play)
