[QUOTE="ciannix"]World of Warcraft... I had a fair character and i was having fun when all of the sudden WotLK comes out, and my lappy cant handle the freaking game! what a waste of around $100 (I didn't get to play for all that long).FelipeInside
So u regret buying a game which YOUR PC can't handle....???

It makes sense, he regrets buying all of it because he can't run it. He said himself he liked the core game.

Alone in the Dark and Far Cry 2. I paid 50 for both. :(

I would say FEAR 2, but I only paid 30 bucks for it. So I didn't mind it much at all, it was worth the 30 bucks.

Easily Shattered Union. I watched the trailer and thought "this looks interesting"; got it, installed it and it was frankly broken from the beginning. A horrific mess of bugs and issues, each of which forced me to quit and restart. I never finished more than the first mission.

None really. I normally do a lot of research before I buy a game.

If I have to find one, then maybe Splinter Cell Double Agent, for the pc.

Not that it was a terrible game itself, it was worse then the 3 before it, but it was more on the level of how buggy and unoptimized the game really was. I had read that it was like that, but I coundt believe it was THAT buggy! It was the game that really made me listen to what gamers said about new games from ubisoft. I mean, when a company can release a game in that state, then you need to be very, VERY careful, when thinking about getting a new game from them.

Games I regret buying?

Daikatana - an over-hyped buggy mess. I did play it to the end, and there were some interesting things in the game, but the execution left a lot to be desired.

Contract J.A.C.K. - it just wasn't anywhere near as much fun as the NOLF games, and bascially felt like an experiment for doing a straightforward shooter, or slapping together a few left-over levels from NOLF 2.

Sniper Elite - because I've never been able to get it to run properly. It always crashes within five minutes, and there was never a patch to fix it.

Codename Outbreak - constant crashes due to bugs, so I could never complete it. I did like the concept of the game, though.

American Conquest - the demo ran fine on my rig, but the full game wouldn't even start up. Tried everything, could never fix it, so I never got a chance to play it.

And now comes the controversial bit - I regret buying all games that contain StarForce and SecuROM 7.xx. Even though I really like some of the games themselves, these two copy protection system messed up my PC in various ways (including killing or disabling DVD drives), and I won't ever install them again - so in that respect it was a waste of money. I have 'repurchased' a couple of those titles now, but as the X360 versions. And I'm starting to do that more and more just to avoid SecuROM, and for that matter, limited installations.

Star Wars: Force Commander...after waiting forever and a day for it to come out, just to pay good money for a pile of stink. I groaned at hearing the Rock version of the Imperial March and screamed at seeing the menu come up with no words at all. :evil:

I shouldn't have to use the Force to figure out what the buttons on the GUI are for! That's definitely one way to make a game challenging. :shock:

I agree, the game was very good, I didn't say that game itself wasn't.....the deal breaker for me was the game's horrible controller and camera issues. They sucked so bad it made the game unplayable for me.....:(

Crysis. I have no clue how the hell people thought that game was good. It was horrible. Everything. Multiplayer was plagued with hackers, but could be fun when a good admin was there. Single-player was the biggest disappointment. Gameplay consisted of cloak, move, uncloak, repeat and despite everything the reviewers say, it is pretty goddamn linear. The enemy could take more shots than you, and had no-recoil hacks. Yet, they seem to be too stupid to effectively beat the cloak or find out where you are, despite the fact that you are running towards them at full speed. And the graphics? If you didn't have a top-of-the-line computer then you either played a slide-show or a game with below average graphics. It was obviously not meant to be played on anything other than top of the line. The vanilla settings are complete crap, and the beauty of the game is only revealed in custom configurations or levels with custom time of day. Even then, to see graphics as good as the developers originally advertised, you'd have to play a slideshow on even the best computers. Everything about that game sucked for me and I gladly lent that game to my friend for an indefinite period so that it would stop stealing the dust that it is not worth in my house.

Take almost any game want and you could describe it in the terms you just used.

Diablo - Go to dungeon, kill monster, level up, repeat. GTA - Steal car, do mission, safe house, repeat. Call of Duty - Kill Nazi. Repeat. Half-Life 2 - Kill head crab, stare at Alyx, repeat. And the list goes on.

The point is, there is always repetitiveness. If not, games would just be one level long.

Ahh that festering pile of demon spawn. May hell reserve a special place for the developers of that game. I was one of the lucky ones who had their entire hard drive erased by that games super efficient uninstall utility.

Far Cry 2. Mostly because you can see a good game under all the crap and bad planning.

Titan Quest- Hack Free, Hack Free oh and Hach Free. Bad Multiplayer

Fallout 3-Didn't like the fact when I put it in eagle's eye view that the character running looks really choopy and so I quit. Oh and the fact that the game is very limited.

Empire Total War- Didn't like it! NO stragety involved, barely any micro, and macro invovled. Too much bugs.

Lord Of The Rings war of The Ring- Worst game ever! Period!!!

For me, it's proably Shinobi for PS2. I bought the game thinking it would be a cool ninja sim like Tenchu, and realized that it sucked. I think I hung on to it for about a week before selling it.

Wow. I thought I was good at doing my homework and dodging bad games... But thinking of it now, I still buy a lot of... FarCry 2 (I was so hyped about this one I bought it on spot before even reading reviews) Spore (bought it the first day, shoulda waited for a price drop) X3 (I am a fanatic of space opera kinds of game, this is the only one I could not get into...) Serious Sam 2 (so bad) Turok StrangleHold (this one hurts.. I don't think I played it more than a hour or two max) Unreal Tournament 3? It is not a bad game, I loved the first unreal and its multiplayer, but somehow I never ever feel in the mood to play UT3 so it was definitely a waste of money.
