Recent memory would probably be WET. Wasn't worth 60 dollars.

probably Over G Fighters, stuck somewhere between being arcadey and realistic. Wasn't a bad game and scratched a spot I had been wanting to itch. But I'll probably never go back to it.

Recently, Empire Total War comes to mind. I gave up on it after one campaign - totally disappointed.

Mercenaries 2. I had such ridiculous expectations for it, and it was a glitchy mess. I never really like Borderlands, which I paid full price for. I didn't think it was bad, it just wasn't for me.

Fairytale Fights for $20 on XB360.

I listened to a friend, who told me that the game was great, so I picked it up and tried it out. Man, I wish I had gotten my $20 back! So horrible...I wrote a review on it even, just to say how atrocious the experience turned out to be, here on Gamespot.

Fable 2. Its not that bad or anything but it was disappointing and Im pretty careful with what I pay full price for, this year my full price list consists of Mass Effect 2 and SMG 2, everything else I pick up the moment its price drops.

Download DMUC. It's supposed to make the game a lot better, though I haven't tried it yet.

As for the topic, Far Cry 2. I have never bought a full price game ever since which probably says something.

Smackdown vs Raw 2010, Ecco The Dolphin (on the Mega Drive :P), Super Mario Sunshine, Star Fox Adventures, Red Steel.

Ecco would probably win the prize for my least favourite of those.

Too Human. Not a bad game, and really quite good, but I never really felt compelled to play it. Good game for 15 bucks, not so much for 60.

Probably Far Cry 2; I appreciated the effort, but it just turned out to be another excuse for a killing-fest.

Hard mode kicks your ass, so if you played it on normal, you really have no right to say anything.

Also, handheld games are made to be played in short bursts. Don't complain about a handheld game being repetitive when you play it for 3-4 hours at a time.

(Only reason I pick at this post is because CC is a couple years old now, and if you hated it that much to be the "worst" game you've paid full price for, you're either extremely picky, or rarely ever buy games)

I played Hard mode. It wasn't hard as you say it is. I didn't beat hard mode because the story and dialogue are just awful. Too bad cutscenes aren't skippable. The game is repetitive & dreadful, even within minutes of playing it. The side-missions are mostly the same, and you can beat those in like 3 minutes. Play five of those and you'll be bored out of your mind. I'm not picky, this game was bad at everything except graphics & soundtrack.

Pokemon Stadium 2, for the N64. Oy vey.

It's even worse when you recall how expensive full-price N64 games were! Some of them climbed up to the $80 range, if I remember correctly.

I'm going to have to go with "picky." The only "bad" dialogue were the quotes from Loveless (seriously, it was like somebody's bad attempt at recreating shakespear) and Hard mode was seriously challenging for any brand new character. The boss fight against Ifrit was disgustingly difficult until you learned how to deal with his attack pattern.

Unskippable cutscenes made dying on boss fights needlessly frustrating, but that's a minor complaint. Though if the game was as supposedly easy as you claim it to be, you wouldn't have any problems with unskippable cutscenes. Unless, of course, you were just trying to skip the story, which is like an RPG sin.

Only game I was 'disappointed' with and paid in full for myself was The Lord of the Rings: Conquest....

I had fun with it.....but really it's a piece of garbage.

wiouds
I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt this way. An rpg needs at least one of these 3 elements to be any good IMO: Good story/characters, deep gameplay, and/or a large open world to explore. Fable 2 lacked all three.

Fable 2. It wasnt a bad game but it felt like it took alot of steps back from fable 1 which wasnt even that great of a game to begin with. I beat everything in fable 2 in a week. When you compare the fable series to something like The Elder Scrolls, Fable is extremely shallow.

I'll never forgive myself for paying full price for Xenosaga III.

I was into the first Xenosaga...then played the second Xenosaga and was completely underwhelmed. I felt it dropped in quality and I love cutscenes as much as the next guy...but yeah...Xenosaga II was boring.

Here comes Xenosaga III and I'm at the gamestore and my gut is telling me to avoid at all costs. There was another game on the shelf that I had interest in too, but I don't remember exactly...maybe it was Radiata Stories...I can't remember. Anyways, against my gut instinct I went ahead and bought Xenosaga III and was just bored to hell with it. I felt no connection to the story, characters or gameplay.

Not necessarily worst, but I regret spending 55 dollars on MW2 PC version. I bought it to play with my friends and for a while we did play together, but eventually the imbalanced multiplayer just turned us off.

Easy - "Operation Flashpoint, Dragon Rising 2." The first and only time I ever said, playing 5 minutes into the game, "man, this game is a piece of ****." I was actually physically angry for buying, feeling like I just purchased a bottle of snake oil. Definately need to stop pre-ordering games on a whim. lol

Yeah, crappy game. It's not worth any money - not even a cent. It has zero playability, especially with its game-breaking glitches. Community was dead on liftoff, and nobody was playing 1 month in (when I tried it again to give it a second chance, but still had the same opinion).
