Games you bought brand new and regretted

[Xeogred]

Here goes, lol

- Dragon Age Orgins
- Splinter Cell Double Agent
- Eternal Sonata
- Marvel Ultimate Alliance
- Armored Core 4
- Ninety Nine Knights
- Far Cry Predator
- Far Cry 2
- Bionic Commando (maybe, I enjoyed it)
- Dead Rising
- Modern Warfare 2
- Call of Duty 2
- Timeshift
- Dead or Alive 4
- Onechanbara
- Fable 2
- Dynasty Warriors Gundam
- Tomb Raider Legend
- PGR3

- Honorable mention goes to King Kong on the 360. I lent it to my friend but it never worked on his system, I hated the game so much, I literally just threw it in his trash. Hilarious.

Basically I literally regret buying or owning probably over half my 360 collection. Seriously, some of those games on my list I've barely touched, or hated, or can't see myself ever playing again, even if some were decent. When I did Gamefly last year it definitely was a money savor.

I dunno, I love collecting last gen games and even have a big backlog of PS1-PS2 games I need to play, but yeah... for some reason half of my 360 collection just disgusts me, but I've been against trading and selling games for years now because it's not worth it in the end to me at all. Maybe I should just box away all this stuff so I don't have to look at them.

Me too! I didn't bother to post it in the thread though, because I'm sure there are lots of 360 lovers out there. I regret buying the whole system.

You didn't strike me as the COD type.

You didn't like Armored Core 4 or Gundam Musou though huh? I'm one of the AC4 supporters, although I'll certainly admit AC2:AA is still the best one. I didn't think it was THAT bad. What didn't you like about the games? I thought Gundam Musou was a pretty solid Musou title, even more so if you like Gundam.

Deathsmiles (360) - for $60

But then again I haven't seen it for sale "used" anywhere yet. So maybe it was a good purchase, and be worth more down the road?

Gamestop sells it new for $30

Say what you want but I HATED Fatal Frame. Why is the damn game so pricey? The WHOLE gameplay system sucks! You should be able to take a game back for a refund if it sucks!

Honorable mention to Clayfighter 63 1/3 and John Elway Quarterback (give me ten yard fight any day). Funny thing was that we tried to kill it to get a refund. We microwaved it, got it wet, froze it, and a few other things.... damn possessed thing just kept right on keepin on! Give me ET any day over that whore of a game.

The only game that popped into my mind right away was Bioshock 2 LE. Not in terms of gameplay,though it wasn't nearly as engaging as the first, but because of the initial price that I KNEW would drop rapidly within the next few months. Limited my foot.

I have several SE games I feel this way about. Killzone 3 is the most recent...the CE is now like $40-$50 cheaper everywhere than it was on release day

Definitely bummed about the killzone 3 special edition. The thing is like 89$ everywhere I go now, and with the size and amount of crap in it I figured it would actually be limited. Also Metal Gear Solid 4. I bought the Collectors edition day one, and now you can find it in bargain bins for 10 bucks.

I reserved and picked up on day one Guilty Gear X2: Overdrive

wince

That was pretty much my reaction just a couple minutes into the game.. I remember getting into it for about an hour, but I just don't care much for strategy games - especially when you take one of my favorite 2D fighters and turn it into one! WTF?!

Seriously, some of those games on my list I've barely touched, or hated, or can't see myself ever playing again, even if some were decent. When I did Gamefly last year it definitely was a money savor.

I'm the same way, except with me - I'll beat a game's story mode, unlock a few more unlockables/achievements, (all within 2 weeks or so of picking it up,) and then the game will sit on my shelf for about a year until I pick it up again.. I figured $50 - $60 a game, for about 2 weeks worth of playtime really isn't intelligent. So I started renting games from my local Play N Trade instead @ $20 a month, (and I can have 2 games out at a time and hang onto them for at least a month, or exchange them as often as I want!)
I figure this should save me some solid money, but I still plan on getting certain games day one if it's a series I really follow, or it includes a nice pre-order bonus.. Otherwise, I'll rent them, beat them, and add to my overflowing collection when the price comes drastically down..

I don't mean to scare anyone here... but I did get to the 10th and final prestige in CoD4. , I played that game off and on obsessively a bit for like two years. But yeah, I'm very against the franchise as whole though. I hated CoD2 when it was new, I remember everyone thinking it looked so awesome... I dunno, it looked terrible to me even back then, lol. I didn't bother with the Treyarch games and the novelty of MW2 wore off in like a month and whoa hey there's another one out already but wait there's gonna be another one this year too! So I don't care anymore.

I dug Halo Reach a good bit. Was a huge Halo fan, but definitely never cared too much for 2-3 or ODST. But yeah overall I'd say CoD4 and then Bad Company 1-2 are the FPS's I've spent the most time on XBL. I've become very anti-FPS's thesedays especially with all the modern crap, but I gotta be honest I think Battlefield 3 will be pretty awesome.

I absolutely love Gundam (Zeta!), but the novelty of that wore off pretty quickly for me on DWG. The gameplay was just, wow, it felt like there were maybe 2-3 attacks and that was the game. I just can't get into DW titles, haha. I think it's funny how much I love sidescrollilng beat em' ups, and that's kind of how DW and games like it are... but it's just not something I've ever really liked.

AC4 is one on the list I did finish and can say I enjoyed, but I just can't see myself ever caring to replay it. So not really worth that $60 in the end to me. I honestly had a lot more fun on the PS2 titles as well, AC2 probably being my favorite. I still can't believe I beat that arena and replicated the best mech's in the game!
