Purchase you regret the most?

Anything Ubisoft

Specifically Risk and Monopoly plus. both have game breaking bugs and both lag like **** to well below 10fps! 10FPS on RISK? WTF?

Pathetic programming.

Only two gaming regrets. Rise of the Robots for the Sega Megadrive. Or what is it called in the US? Genesis? Anyway, it's the only game I ever traded in. I actually cried because it was so bad.

And Perfect Dark Zero. I got the Limited Edition for 7 Euro and still feel cheated.

F1 2015. I was so hyped for the true "next gen" F1 experience but the game was absolutely horrendous. Really Sh**ty wheel support (even worse than Pcars), removal of career mode (yes, you read that right), repeated crashes, Flying car glitches, Having to manually change your whole setup each race (even that doesn't work sometimes, it just glitches out to default), AI is completely fu**ed, Random downshifts to 2nd gear when getting out of the pits (which results in "engine damage") Unplayable multiplayer (when it works) with noob idiots ruining the experience with the glitched penalties that don't work even when deliberately corner cutting, crossing the white line, deliberately crashing into you, de-syncing, and whatnot, One of THE worst racing games I ever had the displeasure of gaming.. And somehow I got it day one at full price.

Literally, Codemasters completely dropped the ball on the F1 series..

This should tell you all you need to know:

Probably the Wii and ps3 last generation.

The Wii spent its time in the garage boxed away after the initial novelty wore off.

The ps3 was only used blu Ray player, and a prop to keep the front door open when moving stuff into and out of the house

Consoles: Thankfully none.

Games: Guild Wars 2... Bought one for me and one for a friend. We both left it in disgust.

WiiU

MGS4 and Heavy Rain. They're both gathering dust. I can't stand the Six-Axis controls and that film grain in Heavy Rain. I just can't seem to get into MGS4. I actually found Watch Dogs far more interesting.

I still keep both around in case they both "click" with me.

Of course, I have no remorse whatsoever with Watch Dogs because it came free with my video card. I still have it installed.

How can anyone regret buying the amazing bayonetta 2 and getting part 1 free?

A third GTX 970 instead of putting the space in my budget towards a better cooler and a 5930 instead of a 5820K.

Really is sad that I do too. It's the first time in my entire life I've regretted buying a console. Hell even the kids played the Wii and had a little fun with Wii sports, by the WiiU us beyond disappointing and will go down as one of the worst consoles in history and 100% my choice for what I have bought for sure.

Because I don't find them amazing? I tried them and failed to enjoy them. Very silly games, very messy, very QTE-y and cinematics freaking everywhere. Bleh.

Console: Wii U. I also regret buying a PS4 at launch, but it'll get a good amount of use this year.

Games: Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8, Mario Golf: World Tour, Infamous SS, Dark Souls 2: SotFS

No. It hurts to live.

Easily the ps4. It didn't break the bank but it doesn't even live up to the ps3 in terms of what it offers. Piss poor psn store, no psx disc playback, and some silly stream service.

YOU MONSTER! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT!!

Watch_Dogs.

Paid 20 dollars, not even worth that.

@MonsieurX: it still burns bro... 40 carts along with it. I kept the n64 for a few months. No games other than Mario 64 and I sold it. Nintendo has never been the same for me.

Good news is I turned the n64 into my first guitar...and that guitar turned into a career... So it's like a bitter pill but it worked out.

@Epak_: if you're talking about the Vita definitely! I heard it's a great handheld for RPG games, so I would have a lot to play!

Kane & Lynch, RE4, MGS4, Legendary, Fallout 4, Gone Home, PS3, XBOX 360.

Edit: Forgot Crysis 2!

Recently: Wii-U. After Bayonetta 2, there was less and less reason in keeping it. Though I do wish I kept it long enough to try Splatoon and Mario Maker.

All-time? Far and away Devil May Cry 2. Even now I can't believe how much of a step down it was from the original, despite the gameplay yielding a couple of interesting ideas.

Ah man, I love that game.

-

Hardware, Xbox One. Massive waste of money from day one.

Game, I don't know, there have been many. I suppose the one I wanted to be good the most is Ace Combat Assault Horizon. At least for Arkham Origins, it gets good when you change your expectations and Arkham Knight gets good the more you put into it.

There are redeeming aspects to Crysis 3 (it's techincally jaw-dropping and its mechanics are great), but the MP was a mess and the narrative was a total trainwreck. It left me feeling particularly burned because I know Crytek can do better and thought Crysis 3 was going to be the game to elevate them to superstar status. Now I don't know if they'll ever get to that stage.

Several so no one is above the other, for example: Destiny, The Order, all the Crysis series ( hey it was on sale for like 5 bucks each and never cared to try before I purchased it ), Lost Planet 2, just to mention a few, I don´t regret purchasing any of the consoles, actually I regret I didn´t purchase the retro ones before.

Arkham Knight + Season Pass on PC

@Sweetbackhair: Indeed I am.

I think the last purchase I actually regretted were some PS2/Xbox/Gamecube games I didn't like/didn't think were worth full price. (Grandia III, God of War, Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance, Pikmin) I don't sweat it so much anymore if a game doesn't live up to expectations since I have more money to spend on games, and have never regretted the 5 bucks on that Steam game I didn't like or sequel I didn't like as much as the previous title.

@Eikichi-Onizuka:

What you didn't like about God of War?

@unrealgunner:

You just hate the game or just the season pass?

@TheEroica: You didn't get the wrestling games for N64?

@Heirren: " no psx disc playback, and some silly stream service."

Wait, you didn't do research before buying?

@thehig1: "and a prop to keep the front door open when moving stuff into and out of the house"

lol, wtf?

I bought a brand new copy of 'The 3 Stooges' for NES in early 1990 for some inexplicable reason. As hard as I tried to get my money's worth out of that turd, fun was not forthcoming.

@PSP107:

The streaming was announced later. I didn't think the psn store would-be completely altered. Sony is surely trying to find a way to double dip on ps3. Psn purchases.

Every General Motors vehicle I've ever owned...

I'm also regretting a couple of stocks I've purchased...FreeportMcMoRan (FCX) notably. I wish I had sold when I had a tidy profit, but the stock missed my stop order by a little over $1 a share and has absolutely plummeted since (damn copper, gold, and oil prices!).

Where gaming is concerned, I only regret buying the Wii.

@davem1992: Only regrets I have is when I buy a game only to get home and find out I already had the game on the shelf. I'll take that CD-i and the Zeldas off your hands though! :)

Actually just the Zelda games, already have 2 CD-i consoles.

@PSP107: it was the nearest thing at the time, there was a delivery and I didn't want the door to slam shut. It was heavy enough to keep the door open.

The game doesn't work for me the framerates are unplayable doesn't matter what settings I use so I barely played it even after having the game for 6 months

Like **** you will, they're my little Zelda abominations

/tear

Console: None. I usually buy each console that releases, but often I'll wait till their are multiple games I want for it.

Game: I bought a game on 360 called Damnation, because I stupidly took the advice of someone working in the store. Without question the worst game I have ever played, and I've played a lot of bad games.

They're entirely mediocre and cost me £100 in total but they're my little babies and Zelda games never leave my side.

This saddens me... I love TR 2013.

@davem1992: Items on CD-i are getting expensive these days too, I've been trying to find the game pad for one for a while now, people want $150 usd for a fucking controller! No, sorry, I'll pass. lol

@suicidesn0wman: I got two controllers with mine, the console and all the necessary cables, had to finish both games in a single sitting each.

@PSP107 I didn't dislike it, just preferred Devil May Cry 3 that came out recently and wished I spent my money on something else.

@unrealgunner:

Oh the do the PC version?

@thehig1:

lol, my 1st reaction was this was a common thing.

@Heirren:."Sony is surely trying to find a way to double dip on ps3. Psn purchases."

You didn't see that coming?

x360

overpriced

expensive peripherals

shitty hdd

paid for online subscription and banned from online play after 6 months

3rd generation system died after less than 2 years of low use

i almost felt like a apple consumer

@davem1992:

Systems : None

Some of the Games :

• Diablo 3 - PC ( biggest upset i had in decades on its release )
• Guild wars 2 - PC ( canceled my preorder , missing the holy trinity ruined it big time for me )
• COD modern Warfare 2 - PC ( as much fun i had with original as much was my dissapointment with that one and the last COD game i ever bought )
• Final Fantasy 12 - PS2 ( a boredom let alone it felt more like a bad single player MMO than anything else )
• Resident Evil 4 - PS2 ( a subpar experience to what i was expecting as a huge fan of RE franchise at the time )
• Resident Evil 5 - PC ( even worse than 4 , the very first RE game since the very first one i quit mid-game )
• Dead Space 3 - PC ( one of my favorite franchises but that 3rd addition ...beeh )
• Bioshock 2 - PC ( Very moody and repetitive ... didnt work for me , good game overall but boring )
• Eternal Champions - Genesis ( I was excited about this one but was a disaster ... Unresponsive controls , bad mechanics , bad characters )
• Primal Rage - PS1 ( Even if game had its moments ... an overall dissapointment )
• Shadow of the Beast - Genesis ( I felt victim of hype back then and i bought one of the most frustrating games i ever played in my freaking life. Thank god i didnt smash my Genesis )
• Battle Arena Toshinden - PS1 ( After the epic Tekken on PS1 which i already knew from arcades and i was big fan of ... i bought that shit of a game ... and had nothing , literally nothing to do with Tekken .. A massive pile of crap i wasted money on )

This gen game wise: Thief

Overall: my 2004 Alienware. I customized it to run Doom3 and Half Life 2 at high specs.....it did not.

Not only that, somehow I missed the loop about DDR coming out by like 3 weeks bc 3 weeks after I got my system DDR was out....or DDR 2 or whatever.

Then PCIe came out a couple of months later.

I totally dropped the ball and yes I even did some research....just not enough.

Overall game wise: getting back into Madden this gen. Every year it's been shit and it's just so disappointing.

Destiny Ghost Edition.

rocket league

Buying TitanFall for $60. Don't think they had the digital game returns back then on Origin, unfortunately.

Wii.. such a disappointing console from Nintendo. I like the Wii U better but the whole Wii branding era from these 2 consoles was disappointing and i cant wait for them to move on from it.

With games probably Titanfall and Elder Scrolls Online
