Games you bought brand new and regretted

[Anayo]

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.

That's the kind of anecdote I was hoping to hear when I started this topic. XD

Sonic fucking Heroes.

enough said.

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****.

I'm guessing you guys got the PS2 version?

Naughty Dog always has a rough start whenever they begin a new series.

The original Jak and Daxter kicked ass, though.

I got the gamecube one.

Mortal Kimbat Deception. Spent my whole first paycheck (which was small) on that game, and tried to like it due to that.

The puzzle fighter was the only redeeming aspect for me. The story mode was ok, but I really didn't feel like I spent my money well.

If you didn't like the GCN version, then it's safe to say that there is no hope of you ever liking the game. Of course, I can relate to that. And to the poster who said he couldn't understand how Sonic and the Secret Rings got such a high score, neither can I. The gameplay felt like a bad version of the PS1 Crash Bandicoot games in a way, what with the long skinny hallways that made up most of the game. And the backwards walking was awful. Plus, the whole premise of the game was completely un-Sonic like. The story felt like the plot to a bad episode of a less-than-stellar kids show.

So what exactly did the ps2 version do differently anyhow? Was it buggier or something?

It was I. And don't forget the HORRIBLE boss battles. Round and round and round you go.....

It had grainier graphics, a bad framerate, and it was more glitchy.

Few things wear on me quicker than a bad, drawn-out boss fight. Those can stop me from ever winning a game sometimes, because I can't muster the willpower to beat them.

I know BoringSupreez already said it but yes, it was buggier and had shittier graphics. I can't even beat Team Dark's campaign because of a glitch where if I do the Light Dash, I only get one ring and fall. I heard that the GameCube version was the best version, but I never played anything other than the demo. I like the gameplay of Sonic Heroes okay, it's just that it's such a bug-filled piece of shit.

I stuck with sonic heroes for a bit. I still have it. It has its moments. The first stage and rail canyon stage are pretty cool. But the team gameplay is pointless and annoying. And the bosses are a complete joke of a rushjob. Half of them aren't even bosses.

If they had dropped the team mechanic and added cool bosses, it could have been the best 3D sonic game ever.
