Oblivion and MGS4. I actually did NOT WANT to play them. Just bought them because they were cheap and everyone said they were awesome. I 've played an hour of each. :)

Wii - I had this sudden urge to whip around the motion controls.. so I bought Zelda, Mario Galaxy, Zack & Wiki, Okami, Metroid.. Also grabbed Zelda Wind Waker because I missed Zelda so much. I played about an hour of each game.. got so bored.. never touched it again. PS2 - After nearly a decade.. I finally bought my very own PS2 console.. and then I went on a black label videogame shopping spree. Purchased everything from Metal Gear Solid Series, God of War, to Shadow of Colossus. FF12, Psychonauts.. you name it.. I bought it. All because of the black label... I bought HAZE for the PS3.. just out of curiosity.. and OH.. because it's an exclusive. No other reason lol. Purchased an N64 after many years of owning it originally.. just to play Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Starfox 64 with the RUMBLE PACK! Bought a PSP for Chains of Olympus.. thought that was weird.. I hate handhelds.. Oblivion - I have repurchased this game at least 4 times.. both on PS3 and Xbox 360.. tried soooo hard to get into but I just find it so boring! I finally gave up last month. I vow to never buy it again! The Orange Box - You'll hate me for this.. but same thing with Oblivion... UGH! Imported Siren Blood Curse. I thought that was weird.. first time I imported any game.. OH.. and last but not least.. I was 7 years old.. I saved up all my allowances given to me by Good ole Grandma and my mom.. and spent a whopping $70 for Road Runner the game for SNES. I regret it till this day jk lol

  • Bought Vancover 2010 for $6 from a closing video store this weekend. Also got Lego Rock Band and Reflex : ATV and MX or whatever for $6 as well.

Could care less about any of those except Lego but it was a deal son! I should of bought everything they had but my wife would of punched me.

  • Lets see waited outside of Gamestop while i sent my wife on a secret mission to get hanna montana for me. Nobody ever knew :)

scar-hawk

*Looks at Sig* Ahh for the trophies >_> Aren't you the same guy who bought Terminator Salvation for the platinum :P Weirdest purchase for me would probably be Super Mario Galaxy, The reason I bought it isn't the weird thing. It's that I didn't really like it :O Nothing for PS3 though as I only have 2 games :/

yea but it was only $5 i mean i had to experience this trophy thing, sadly it hooked me like a fish :) Now its wonderful!

Killzone 2: I don't even really like FPS's that much but my place of work was right next to a gamestop and it was the day KZ2 came out and as soon as I got of work I walked over there and bought it and actually ended up really liking the game.

RFOM2 - Barely ever played it, bought it mainly for the special edition to be honest.

Blazing Angels 1 - It was dirt cheap, thought it would be worth it.. Turns out, it wasn't.

I remember when I was like 9 years old, I traded my bike to a guy and got Donkey Kong Country 2, a Sega Genesis, and like 14 Sega games to go with it. Good trade imo, since I had 2 bikes.

lol, I bought it. It's an awesome game, albeit a little pointless.

I bought it too , yeah it's pointless.

On thread , I got Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising , there was a lot of DLC coming up so I thought 'this game must be good' , it had solid scores , played 10 min of it and never played it again , looks like a ps2 game. :|

Dude I know exactly what you mean with revenge purchases. I bought Mass Effect purely out of revenge against GameStop. Story: I went into GameStop pretending be looking for a good 360 RPG, but I was really there looking to get Star Ocean. I didn't see any new copies so I asked the guy to suggest me one. He suggested Mass Effect which was a game had planned on buying at a later time anyway so I bought it. This was one of their opened 'New' copies and when I got it home, I checked all the stuff inside and the disc was scratched to hell so I took it back and got a refund, went to Walmart, and not only bought Star Ocean (the game I wanted in the first place) but a brand new sealed copy of Mass Effect just to spite the GameStop guy even though I didn't even want to play the game at the time. It took me all the way from last June when I bought it up until last month to finally start it :P

I bought a plastic guitar for RB after my original GH one broke when I had bought it with the game. I felt weird going to EB Games asking for a used plastiic guitar, because I play real guitar, so I felt embarrassed. Alot of fun with it nonetheless!! Reason you may think this sounds weird is actually that, I only do vocals for RB and GH hahaha.

Fallout 3. I rented for a week, played it for a few hours and absolutely hated it. A couple months later went to EB Games to trade in some of my finished games. These games included Mario Kart Wii and a couple others.... And what did I decide to get? Fallout 3! I gave this game a second chance and it turned out to be one of my favorite games of all time.

[QUOTE="hazelnutman"][QUOTE="Rakuho"]I think there was a time when i bought a couple of games just becasue i didn't want to go home empty handed... too bad i can't recall the games nor my age at that point in time. time. And i'm pretty sure i bought a couple of RPGs when i was a teen just because they had girls with big ***s in them... but that's not weird... right? :| (Once again, I can't remember what those games were but i think they were for the PS2...)Rakuho

Boobs = perfectly justified purchase.

*feels the weight of shame magically disapear* Thank you... for those healing words :cry:
