I regret so much buying Burnout Pardise, I hate that game so much. And I can't return it because I bought it on PSN =(. I got Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 over Sly collection, don't get me wrong Ninja Gaiden good, but Sly blows the game away big time. I should have gotten Sly. And I hate myself for selling Assassin's Creed 2. I beat the whole game, didn't think I was going to play it again so I sold it. Bad choice, because now that Assassin's Creed: brotherhood is coming out soon, I have been wanting to play Assassin's Creed 2 help me wait for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood. Can't wait for that game, at this time there is 1 day, something hours, something mintues (Truly don't feel like figuring all that out, and Gamespot count down isn't working for me)

Trine, I didn't realize there was a demo before it was too late. I bought the game, couldn't wait for it to finish downloading/installing, played it for 5 minutes before thinking "oh my god...this is horrible" and then quickly deleted it.


I regret not playing Heavy Rain when it first come out, and now it's been ruined by people on these forums making posts about the ending.

I regret selling A Crack In Time, such a fun game!

Regret Buying: Mercs 2. Worst game to ever sit upon my gaming shelf. Luckily, I got it for super cheap.

Regret Not Getting: MAG. Should have got it while the community was still fairly strong. I can't justify buying it now if I'm going to have trouble finding games online.

Selling: Don't ever sell any games...so doesn't apply. I've given away plenty of older games for the NES, SNES, and N64 over the years that I regret, but nothing this gen.

I also don't sell my games EVER.

That doesn't make very much sense to me, you can do all the research in the world but until you actually play/buy them you don't know how you'll react.

I wish I didn't have to sell my games, but its a easier way for me to get new games I want. Atleast I didn't sell it for a bad game, I got Uncharted 2 from it. I again wish I didn't have to sell my games, and be able to bulid an awesome game collection. If I didn't sell any games, my house would be filled with video games. And I research into my games a lot, but at the time I liked burnout legends, so I thought Burnout Pardise was going to mbe good, no I was wrong, very wrong.

For Playstation 3. I've been lucky Since the only game I regret Buying is Guitar hero Aerosmith. But I picked it up for only $5.00 played it once and never played it again. Ended up trading it two for one for some games for another console. But I like Aerosmith, and was surprised to that I didn't enjoy this more. But I sort of ended up ahead since I got another games for the trade in another format. Plus I now still have this one which i haven't bothered to play again.

Good point! I kinda did word that improperly - let's say that I find I usually enjoy them.

I regret:

forking out £35 for naughty bear, thought it would be a really fun game, it wasnt.

forking out £25 for brutal legend, i am a true metal head and i love jack black, but this game sucked big time

Buying ninja gaiden sigma, not realising it was a remake of the xbox version from years ago, plus no trophies.

Buying sacred 2 thinking it would be a good RPG to help waste the time, i was wrong yet again.

Buying assasins creed 1, as it was so repetitive and boring, i didnt even finish it. (second one rules tho)

Buying yakuza 3 after reading reviews saying it was good and my friends opinion, 5 hours into the game, and only 20 mins gameplay, such a bore.

Buying WET thinking it would be a fun game to help scoop a few trophies, and it was actually quite annoying.

Buying Folklore, it was a great game by concept, but it really lacked in gameplay

Buying GTA4, man that was an appauling game,

Paying £52!!!! for demon's souls black phantom edition. after watchin all the reviews, and all the vids, it looked AMAZING, but in reality, IT SUCKED

Buying bad company, this was a tedious game

Buying alone in the dark, the physics engine on this was appauling

Buying x-blades thinkin it was gonna be an ok rip off of devil may cry, but stage-by-stage levels and really gay gameplay made this annoying

from the psn, i regret buying PAIN as it sucks, brain challenge, as it sucks. and linger in shadows, as it sucks

i regret selling:

Fallout 3

I regret buying Mirror's Edge. Could not get into the game and kept thinking "Was I high when I decided to buy this game?!" Also could not keep my hands steady enough for the balance walks along pipes.

I regret buying MW2, FF13, WaW, Resistance 2, Alone In The Dark (on the 360), and others like Two Worlds :cry:.

Not getting would be LBP, and GOW3.

Selling would be nothing, I mean I really do not want to sell my games but sometimes I have to. I do regret selling any of my games in general but what had to be done was done.

GTA4 not only it's excruciatingly ill-designed, badly paced, and overall frustrating, I got the Greatest Hits version with that ugly red case. But I need to finish it to play EFLC which already looks a lot better with implementation of this little thing called checkpoints. oh and Eternal Sonata. It's not bad game, but the fact i got it with full price when the 50% price drop happened a day later just want me to kill myself.

I regret trading Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction, Uncharted 1, and Folklore. I also regret trading in Warioware even though it is on a different system.

The only game I sort of regret but not all that much is getting 3D Dot Game Heroes. It is a great game, but $40 was too high for that game. The game does get old after awhile. I should have bought Demon's Souls or Infamous instead.

Regret buying: Demon's Souls, but I got my money back cuz I bought it used. Not getting: Nothing really, because you can still get it? :| Regret selling: Marvel vs Capcom 2, never would've traded it if I knew its like $90 currently. :(

Only game I regret selling was LOTR: ROTK for PS2 cuz i'm such a LOTR nerd :P

yeah, I regret selling ROTK too, it's probably one of the best movie tie-in ever, and very good action game. I need to get it one day, it's like under 10 bucks now

Regret Buying: Final Fantasy XIII, I still haven't played it yet and it sits there, I heard it wasn't that great, I'll get around to it eventually though.

Regret Not Getting: GTA IV, I'll probably get it next summer when I don't have much games to play and lots of time to devote to it, also Heavy Rain, which I'll get around to renting eventually.

Regret Selling: Dead Space, I'd like to replay it again one of these days.

So far the only game I absolutely regret is NCAA Football 2009. I used to play football games a LOT, but I've played that game once. For some reason I just never feel like playing it.

Definitely agree about regretting buying Trine, the game is awful. Also I regret buying inFamous, just a terrible game in my opinion, don't know why everyone around here loves it.

I regret buying FFXIII - that was a complete waste of my time. Basically an if/then statement trying to masquerade as gameplay. Oh well, after trading it in I was only out $17. Also regret buying Turok, that game was crap.

I guess I really don't regret NOT getting anything, as they'll all be just as much fun for me when I do buy them as they were on release day, at 2 or 3 times the price of what I'll pay.

Regret buying: Bioshock (simply boring--nothing else to add here), Demon's Souls (not enough of an RPG for me), Saints Row (the game itself is great, but the constant frame-rate drops, bugs, and freezing is unacceptable), COD: MW2 (I miss real first-person shooters, and I thought that maybe this would be a blast from the past--but, alas, it was not). There is really nothing I regret not getting, since if such a thing existed, I'd simply go and buy it. Regret selling: Fallout 3 (with good games in such short supply, I should have thought twice about trading off one that's actually amazing--with replay value), Dragon Age: Origins (exactly two days after selling it--and the sequel--I felt like a moron, which led to me buying the Dragon Age Ultimate Edition), Final Fantasy 13 (I don't know what I was thinking--had to borrow it from a friend just so I can play again). I'm also sorry I bought a new 360 (on impulse) when I bought my PS3. I was like, "Hell, why not have two systems?" Such a piece of ****.

I regret buying Fallout 3, yes i know its a "great" game, it just wasn't my taste. It takes up way too much time, time in which I don't have. I regret NOT getting: Bioshock 2, so bad.

i regret buying: GTA4, MSG4, Need for Speed Undercover, Rachet and Clank 1 and the ps3 system The only thing that really saved the PS3 for me was FF13 and Sonic 4. I wish I bought a Nintendo Wii. I'm not trying to troll or anything of such but sometimes I just wish I had a wii to play with.

This is going back a while now, but I regret buying Burnout Paradise, I didn't like it compared to PS2 Burnouts. I also regret buying MGS4, I'd heard all this hype about it, how perfect it was, so I purchased it cheap, but after a single playthrough I sold it.

I regret not getting Singularity back in June, there was a good offer for it, but I wasn't sure about it and rented it instead. Turned out a great game and wish I'd brought it now.
