biggest mistake youve ever made in gaming

Buying Lair for £50.

thinking of buying a m$ console

omg it was terrible...

other than that, beating Halo... seriously i wouldnt hate it this much if i wouldnt beat it or maybe if i wouldnt play it i would think its good...

Getting overly involved with an online community of gamers for a certain game. All for nothing in the end.

Selling old games because of the lack of money, but re-buying them because I miss them. :|

I can't re-count how many times I did that...I know, I'm dumb. :(

Never got a Dreamcast, was too much into PC gaming at the time.

Not modifying my PS2 so that it could play pirated games.

I have 200+ PS1 games because it can play pirated games that only costs $2 during PS1's reign. I only have 1 original PS1 game. Hehehe.

Getting to the final boss in a RPG, and half way through forgetting to revive a dead ally, or simply entering a final boss battle in a RPG without a sufficient supply of cures, MP boosts etc.MetalGear_Ninty

Done that too way to many times

Selling my Xbox without realizing I still had Star Wars: Battlefront 2 inside the system.

Also, losing my entire box of N64 games and buying Rainbow Six: Vegas.

the biggest mistake i've ever made is selling my entire gamecube collection and my gamecube to buy a ps2, im still mad that i did that so how about you?Trav57

Wow, that definitely takes the cake!

I'm pretty mad that I actually bought GTA4.

Ah, I forgot to add using so many cheat codes when I was younger and spoiling some amazing games.

wait he really dies? i was making that up:lol:

Selling FF 7. Then buying it again, and then selling it again. This was all before it was selling for a lot. What can I say? I was young and I needed the money. I wish I still had it.

I also bought Unlimited Saga at the recommendation of a Gamestop employee.

At least they took the game back the next day.

Buying BioShock... but then again, it showed me the way out of the mainstream and buying games based off of hype and into what I like. But still, spending $80 to figure that out wasn't a good thing.

Playing Earthbound in a thunderstorm.

Fried the system and didn't finish the game til 7 years later.

Letting my 13 year-old cousin play my PS2 unsupervised. She ended it up dropping it when she picked it up to place it on the floor. When I got home and went to turn it on (after being told what happened) it started making some weird clicking noises and realized that my Burnout: Revenge game was still inside (this was a few years ago). I ejected the disc, then, stupid me wanting to know if it still worked, put the disc back in only to hear it make this god-awful noise that sounded like a dentist's drill. I had to force the tray open since it wouldn't eject after that and saw that the disc looked like it had been scratched with a brillo pad.

I had to end up buying a brand-new system. I felt so sad. That PS2 was the first console I had ever bought with my own money, with my very first paycheck. :( I remember when I first brought it home, looking all spiffy in its big blue box, turning it on and having it greet me with that distinctive "woodoo" sound it makes when the logo flashes across the screen. *sigh*

I might have to do that for Indigo Prophecy...

My biggest mistakes in gaming involve saving over files and having to do everything again. It's happened to me multiple times when playing FFIX.

Buying Juiced...Hated it so much that I never bought an illegal street racing game again.sandroDX

That's too bad, because you'd get a kick out of NFS: Most Wanted

Right now I'm trying to get rid of my Xbox, its games, and a bunch of games for other last gen systems, but I'll barely get anything out of them except for FFVII, which I have no attachment to for a a couple of reasons. Maybe I'll regret getting rid of this stuff, maybe not. I know I don't play my Xbox games anymore, but the KotORs are still good.

I did, for a short time, regret getting rid of my N64, since it had the two Zeldas with it. But I got those for the GC later on, which remedied the situation. Oh, but I also regret buying the GC. Getting a PS2 as my first last gen system--instead of the third--would have been optimal. I also regret buying a Wii instead of saving for one of the other systems, even though I like most of my Wii games. I wish I were inclined to sell it right now, because that would get me a good bit of money (albeit with a huge loss). Bah, I need to apply for jobs now, anyway. :P Last time I was employed was two summers ago (I'm a college student, so I do have SOME excuses).

Now your post is the spoiler. Edit it out of there right now, if you don't want to spoil it for others.

I sold off my snes and n64 (and all the games) so that I'd have more money to buy dreamcast games. Bad mistake.UT_Wrestler

Okay, I take it back. THAT takes the cake!!!

What do you mean? I'm just curious.

Sold my PS1 games (the thing that made me mad was it was the day they stopped selling them in stores)

Got rid of my Dreamcast

There's a few more that I cant think of at 2am.
