Yikes, enough said indeed.

I was having trouble thinking of something and then I saw this. The quickest turnaround of my life. I think I sold it the next day. F*** that character totem bull****.


And to think that wasn't the worst sonic game ever made :lol:

Heck, compared to sonic games after that one, it was actually good :lol:

Probably dawn of mana and tekken 6 are the one that really stick out for me. Metal Gear Solid 4 is another one I regret because I bought it right when it came out and just started playing it this weekend. Its super cheap now so I could have saved 40 bucks or so.

That is a sad but very true fact.

...I like Sonic Heroes.

That's the funny thing about a thread like this: Finding out some people hate games you enjoy.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I kinda like sonic heroes also. Maybe its because sonic games have gotten so terrible and sonic heroes is only partly terrible.

This. When I played Sonic heroes, it was after playing SA2:B (which I loved, and rejuvinated my love for sonic), and SA:DX (which was mediocre, but I enjoyed the ending enough, to make me forget the Knuckles Amy and Big the cat levels (and to think I actually liked the Knuckles stages in SA2).

But when Sonic Heroes came out I was underwhelmed. Didn't like the game. I beat it with all teams, but I didn't manage to get all the chaos emeralds so no true ending for me.

But then I played what was considered the first good sonic game in years. Sonic and the secret rings. Boy....bullshit review scores. FFS how the fuck did eurogamer give this a 9 I'll never know (unless they were bribed it makes no sense).

Then Sonic Unleashed, which I just didn't bother with after the demo, sonic and the black knight (aggh), and worst of all, a couple of weeks ago I finally played Sonic 2006. I honestly thought it couldn't possibly be worse than all those sonic games that came after it...... oh boy.....was I wrong...


but yeah, sonic heroes is bad. And at the time it cooled my relationship with the franchise (sonic, OMG this is crap, advance 3 also didn't help). But really not as bad as those games that followed.

Technocop for Genesis. I saved up my allowance and did extra house work for weeks to buy that game. I was in complete denial of how bad the game was since I worked so hard for it. I still have it...and it still sucks.

Marvel vs Capcom 3 is the main one right now. Just not as fun as I thought it would of been.

Oh, I regret Katamari Forever a bit. It's just not as good as the first two games.

Dear GOD why! Why did I buy this game? Oh yeah, the shop I got my DS from, 1 week after launch, didn't have Super Mario 64DS (which sucked as well though, just not as bad as this one).

This game was horrible. It is good/passable on consoles with control sticks, but playing this game with the touch screen, OMG.


I use to have that game. Needless to say I traded it away pretty quickly.
