Because it's garbage. Utter garbage. Thought it could be a guilty pleasure, but it's just garbage.

The description said that's the best part of the game; from what I've seen of the gameplay, that sounds pretty accurate... :lol:

Amazing game, in my opinion. It's not perfect, but definitely worth your time. The Witcher 2 looks AMAZING. :)

that game was the best RPG this entire generation...

I agree

Why are you wasting your time saving Princess Peach? You know she is going to get kidnapped again.

Bioshock and Burnout Paradise.

Bioshock because well, IMO, the only fun part about the game was fighting a Big Daddy. Other than that, it felt like a chore to complete.

And Burnout Paradise because it took all of the brilliantly designed races and events and made them open world. Sounds good, right? Turns out, simply making them open world actually takes away from the good design of the game. Those perfectly tuned missions that had me on edge before were replaced with "find your own route!!" Well, finding your own route isn't very fun in a boring and poorly layed out city.

Good choice.

After the initial controlling Darth Vader mission, it went down hill. As soon as I pulled an entire battleship, LIGHTYEARS away towards me using the force, I facepalmed, ejected the DVD, and placed it back on my shelve never to be touched again. Even Yoda struggles to lift an X-Wing using the force. :|

Far Cry 2 for 50 bucks. Splinter Cell Conviction at 60 bucks. At least I got Splinter Cell and Chaos Theory with the purchase. Assassin's Creed for 60 when it came out on 360. I have a lot that I don't regret though, since I usually wait till they come down to around 30 bucks in price. Got a lot of my console games for only 30-35 when retail is still 50-60, and many PC games for only 20 - 30 when retail is still 50.

Not at the time, i think WoW was where i realized playing games was probably one of the worst decisions of my life, went from a huge hobby to, SP games when i have spare time. There are better things to do then gain some stats and pretend to be powerful.

CoD4.

I bought it to play with my brother online, and boy was it atrocious.

Then I decided to try out the single player, and beat it in 3 hours and 15 minutes, and found not a single thing about it good.

I've never wasted money on a worse product.

fallout 3, little kings story, valkyria chronicles, call of duty 3, medieval 2 total war... just off the top of my head.

Resistance 2

hm.......

I do not regret buying Demon's Souls, I just regret not completing it... The same would have to go for The Witcher, Darksiders, and Final Fantasy 13.

ugh... lately I have just not been able to finish what I start =(

Of course there is. Most of the time I'm usually drawing, painting, and going to school of course. But it never hurts to pretend to be some kind of hero every now and then.

Well, being the PC gamer I am, and him living 3000 miles away, it was really my only option.


Otherwise I would have just borrowed it from a friend who owns it on 360. It certainly would have helped ease the pain had I not paid a even a nickel for it :cry:

Modern_Unit

i agree about regretting it, but truth be told, i found its gameplay not too bad... i mean, it felt as generic as call of duty. At least the singleplayer. (the thing is COD is well polished while this game is not.

i think the problem with this game is that its so much like your average shooter that i just couldnt stand out. Plus, its bland scenery and its average multiplayer. I can see a sequel being decent. i mean, all the right pieces are there. A decent engine for the wii, customizable controls, potential with a chat system, actually has multiplayer online. its no shovelware. its just not very good. On paper, it sounds like what the wii needs, its just that the hype and execution by a not so experienced developer who put too much confidence in themselves despite having no experience outside of shovelware attempted it rather than a big name. ( I MEAN, LOOK AT HOW RED STEEL TURNED OUT. ITS sequel is actually pretty good).

Aliens vs. Predator, Call of Duty 3, Modern Warfare 2, Resident Evil 5 (maybe).

But I trully regret buying Uncharted 2. Hugely overrated, the graphics are last gen, and it rips off Battlestar Galatica.

Final Fantasy XIII and Tekken 6. Not because they're "bad" games, but because I just don't really care for the genres anymore. I found that out the hard way -thank god for e-bay!

F.E.A.R. - I usually like scary games andI usually like shooters, but I just couldn't get into this one.

Assassin's Creed - I had really high hopes and was disappointed by how repetitive it got.

The Orange Box - I really wanted to like Half-Life 2, and just didn't.Maybe I expected too much,but everyone talks about it like it's the "greatest shooter ever" and I just didn't see it.Barely anyone was on Team Fortress so I didn't enjoy that. I did however like Portal, but that hardly justifies the $60 I paid when it came out.

Madden 09 -This is when I asked myself, "Do I really need to buy this every year?" and, God-willing,I won't buy it again... For a few years.

Maybe WET, or Nintendogs when it first came out. I was young and stupid. But I get embarrassed of even letting people in my girlfriends room...she bought Lair, and it was the biggest mistake of her life.

Killzone 2. Ironically I loved the first one. My brother and I may have put 1000+ hours playing against hardcore bots. Killzone 2 had horrible online multiplayer. I also didn't care much for the single player. Also, before anyone hits me with the "teh controls where t00 hard for yew" or "you just weren't good at it" I was great at the game. It was just that the lack of a party system in the MP killed it for me.
