Games You Regret Buying

It sucks to spend all your hard earned money on a game you wished never even existed.

I made the mistake of purchasing Driveclub earlier this year (and ignoring the reviews as well). That was $50 horribly spent.

What are some games that you regret buying?

Resident Evil 6, The Evil Within, Crackdown 2, and Arkham Origins; to name a few

Since I don't fall for the stupid hype for games any more, I regret nothing I purchase. The only time I buy games on day one, they're games I know I'll enjoy and want in my collection. Otherwise I wait for sales or buy used.

Assassin's Creed 3 was like a wake up call for me. I hated that game so much and I've been much more careful (in regards to buying games) ever since. I love French Revolution stuff so AC: Unity sounds awesome (on paper), and I've been thinking about giving this one a chance, despite all the negative reviews... Any advice? As someone who's super interested in the time period, should I play AC: Unity?

@xanatos357: I gAve up on chapter 10 on The Evil wIthhin

Dragon age Inqisition..awful rpg game

I gave up on chapter 3 the game is so dam hard.

I really like all of the games in here besides Dragon Age: Inquisition and I never bought that because I don't like the first two Dragon Age games.

I don't really regret any games purchases. I usually know what I'm getting into. The Evil Within should have won GOTY 2014, it's brilliant.

If I had to say, it'd probably be Helldivers. Far too co-op based for my liking but I've still enjoyed my time with it and £15.99 is hardly something to regret for the rest of my life.

Dead Space 3.

Resident Evil 6

I don't recall the last time that I ever regretted a game purchase. I mostly know what I'm getting into whenever I purchase a game.

Agreed, I kinda find it hard to buy a game nowadays and "NOT" know what I'm getting. Between developer interviews, gameplay trailers and preview hands on gameplay, there's more then enough information out there to help you make better decisions before you purchase.

I have more regrets NOT buying certain games than ones I did. Especially online games, because the servers are no longer active or the community of players are too skilled for new players.

I still want to play Warhawk for the PS3 but that game is so old I'm afraid nobody plays anymore or the servers are gone. And I have plenty more regrets like that.

lol....I know it was hard man, but I grinded it out because I haven't played a "REAL" horror game in a long time that had me on the edge of my seat!! Dead Space came real close but the Evil Within is a true return to survival horror.

Nor really sure if I did regret buying a game really.

Fear 3.

Or F3AR whatever that means.

Regretted? Hmm, some games I can call disappointing. But fully regret might be an entirely different situation.

Bought Inquisition, Little Big Planet 3, and subbed Elder Scrolls Online on a whim. All three underwhelming; however had moments of gaming entertainment.

Inquisition had some interesting story twists (as cliche as it is)/ Little Big Planet 3 is finally workable so I'm getting my moneys worth now/ and ESO. . . Lame, however friends made it a funny experience.

Regret is more serious a statement than I'd give the games I've bought in recent memory.

& for the Evil Within comments. Loved that game!!! Ripa ripa!!

@thegamingjunkie: What are you talking about I am not a fan of racing games yet I am hooked on driveclub have you played it recently there are no server issues everything is smooth.

Been gaming for three decades and I could fill a garbage truck with games that I regretted buying. But that's part of the hobby I guess, for every 10 crap games you buy, you get maybe one or two gems that make it all worth while.

@thegamingjunkie: Transformers Rise of the Dark Spark...what a steaming pile... I don't even know what I was thinking...

I kinda regret buying Watchdogs and Asscreed: Blackflag, gonna beat 'em some day though. COD:AW is also something I should have bought a lot cheaper.

Ether one - good game but I've thrown up 3 times playing it because of dizziness.... Yeah, the weirdest thing

Uncharted 3.

Watch_Dogs, MKX (for PC), pillars of eternity, and splatoon

Any game I buy that doesn't hold my interest long enough to get my monies worth out of it. Recently:

Far Cry 4 - just lost interest after a few hours for some reason

The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - too damn obtuse

Van Helsing II - boring

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (why the hell did I buy this? I haven't enjoyed CoD for ages lol)

Shadow of Mordor (would have been ok if I got it cheaper)

Batman: Arkham Knight (PC) - obvious reasons

Pillars of Eternity - couldn't get into it, didn't like the combat and too impatient for all the reading

same. and it's not necessarily through a lack of research, it's more a lack of tolerance and patience with games. in the last several months off the top of my head games i regret buying are the evil within (cumbersome mechanics, poor performance and predictable trope riddled setting / story), dragon age inquisition (tons of little annoyances that in isolation are tolerable but in combination sap all the fun out of the game) and assassin's creed unity (even with the bugs patched it was rubbish)

So far right now:

Destiny

The Order 1886

The Evil Within

Destiny. It's not terrible but it's the kind of game I'll never play and I should have known that.

X-Rebirth. I had no idea the latest game in a much beloved series would be so awful, even after all the patches.

Evil Within is also pretty bad.

-Byshop

So true. I used to fall for almost all the bullshit hype and bought a ton of crappy games. That's why I don't buy nearly as many games as I used to.

So many shit games these days, and only a very few good ones.

resident evil 6 alan wake dead space 3 silent hill 1 okami and ico edit: fear 3 by far the worst 7/10 game ive ever played

The last game was F1 2015... but was OK because I got a refund. Before that, probably Destiny.

GTA V (PS3 Version) -Runs like shit... there's no point in getting it over current gen or PC. $30 wasted.

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune -Ugh... I did not like. The shooting mechanics, bullet-sponges, A.I. ruined it for me. Some of the levels are also quite aggravating. That's $20 gone.

@yukushi: Well, I am a huge fan of racing games, so I guess that's why.

The graphics are gorgeous and it has decent gameplay, but the atmosphere fell flat pretty quickly. I did like tons of research before I purchased it cause I was desperate for a racing game, but I ended up hating it without any concrete reason. Maybe I sucked at the game, I don't know.

wow, you didn't like the evil within? Why

I regret buying the Batman Arkham Knight. I forgot the other one that I regret buying since I don't have it anymore. I'm so piss off that day that I've shoot it on a trash can. Haha

last couple of purchases i regret

sniper ghost warrior 2. its an eyesore and the gameplay was not satisfying

battlefield hardline - such a boring sp because the best way to play is stealth. dont like maps for mp

i'm still so so on batman arkham knight - batmobile gameplay is a fail

edit: i forgot about the last 3 cods....blops2, ghost and aw. single player was cool. i actually really liked ghosts sp....but mp was garbage

Resident Evil 6. I read the reviews and checked the forums but I just hoped that I would enjoy it......I didn't.
Fallout 3 for PS3
Halo ODST
Killzone Shadow Fall
Call of Duty Ghosts

Battlefield 3 for the Xbox 360

I was amazed by the trailers, and then the game turned out to suck after realizing that the button layout sucked and that I needed to buy some maldito (im a white hispanic) DLC to play some bloody game modes

Fable 3

Got it twice for free

Was bored by it twice

Street Fighter II HF for the 360

I love street fighter, but this version of SF2 blows

Far cry 2 didn't like it soo much...

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Not only do I wish I could get my money back, but even more I wish I had never even heard of it. Damn you marketing, getting me hyped for the most disappointing failure to make a good game. Tell you right now, it's personal. Those devs can suck it. It's not even about the money.

That's the only thing I've ever regretted buying.

Titanfall, Elder Scrolls Online, Arkham Origins, and Shadow of Mordor come to mind

@thegamingjunkie:

A lot of games I bough on Steam were total crap. Lucky for me I can refund now so I can keep my hard working cash. I refund a lot of games lately. Blame Steam and all the crap that goes there.

Resident Evil Revelations 2... whole thing was good up until episode 4, ruined the entire game, and killed my hopes for any future games in the series

I have a lot of those actually.

Uncharted 2

Little King's Story

Prototype 2

Mario Kart 8

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale

LittleBigPlanet 2

The PS3 version of Bayonetta

Ni No Kuni

Klonoa (Wii)

X rebirth. Worst game I've ever purchased.

I wanted to love the game bro but I kept dying that big dude with the chainsaw kept killing me so in the end I gave up on the game but other than that I did enjoy the game up to that point.

MODS QUICK BAN THIS GUY

Like an Idiot, I bought the game BRINK simply because I saw Bethesda on the cover. Oh I turned off a game so fast.

@thegamingjunkie: Simshitty, that was a mistake
