Halo Reach/4 
Uncharted 3
Gears -any-
Mgs4 
Gta4

I expect the thread to be filled with this, and the topic will quickly get derailed in a heart beat. But I'm going to say Sf4 and MvC3, for obvious reasons.

Read Dead RedemptionMonsieurX

and this.

Red Dead Redemption. Terrible game. Boring game. Was not worth my $40. 

the-obiwan

my brother loved it, and i still dont get why.

The breathtaking music and landscapes... The characters (which were expertly designed)and the slow, relaxing pace (which is a nice change). The shooting mechanics weren't bad either... Overall one of the best and most polished games I've ever played (despite the frequent glitches lol).

 

Perhaps you guys got overhyped by all of the positive attention it was getting and were underwhelmed?

Far Cry 2.

I don't know what I was expecting, and I only bought it for like 5 bucks, but I do wish I never wasted the cash tbh.

Oh and GTA IV as well only because I could barely get it to work at times for some odd reason, even with mods. Funny thing is when it did work I didn't like it either. :(

Uncharted 3
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Mario Kart Wii
Smash brothers brawl
Resistance 2

and my absolute worst purchase of the gen...... Witcher 1.

GD1551

Witcher 1 is okay... but I can totally understand why ppl would hate it.

I almost got to that point as well with all the stupid side quests and the freaking swamp area. Oh and not to mention RPG lite elements.

[QUOTE="the-obiwan"][QUOTE="parkurtommo"] So I'm not the only one who didn't have a hard on for Deus Ex: HR? yay :pparkurtommo
i liked Deus ex : hr but i was never a fan of it, so i cant say it wasnt GREAT either.

Yeah I mean, I didn't hate it either... I was just expecting so much more since everyone was so excited about it and thought that the story was so deep and all of that bullshit. It really wasn't very special, sort of like how bioshock infinite has gotten hyped up. These titles are rarely as good as all of the fanboys like to claim.

I agree with that. I don't really hate any game as they all have some redeeming features (well from the ones I buy), but I certainly can and will call them out in my own hard ball opinion. Some are greatly overhyped but I don't consider any of them bad at all really, just definitely not as good as people claim imo.

Honestly the only game where I can't find any redemption to at all (and that is definitely pushing it) is Far Cry 2 for the most part. That thing was painful for me.

[QUOTE="TheEroica"] cod4 and cod2 were the only ones I really enjoyed this gen... id have been happy stopping there to be honest. mw2 was rubbish... dust was the worst map ive ever played in mp ever and black ops was just kinda meh... after that I never bothered.razgriz_101

Your sig bugs me for some odd reason.

I've seen several devil pics but that one is just too weird to me haha. :P

How can Dave Grohl as the devil be weird. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOBKxUT9Da4

Don't know, just looks awkward.

Which is funny because I actually like that kind of stuff too (although by the vid its got its own vibe as well). Metalocalypse is pretty awesome. :)

[QUOTE="Ragnarok1051"] Yes they are, but not NISA's version of them. Ragnarok1051

But JRPGs...

NIS makes terrible games. There I said it, and I'm a huge JRPG fan.

Tbh I barely played any of their games. :P

There are those times when my gut was telling me to stay away but i didn't listen... The three games I regret buying are: 1. Halo reach-- it was the biggest steaming pile of garbage that I ever bought for $39 2. Pokemon mystery dungeon-- garbage nothing more, nothing less 3. Tokyo beat down-- paid $4 for it and I want a refund plus money for the damages. What's yours?

Red Steel and Spyro Orange (I didn't purchase it I got it as a gift and it was bundled with Metroid Zero Mission)

Those are the only two games I didn't like and those are also the only two games I sold.

Recently: paper mario sticker star. i dont like constantly retracing my steps to get things (metroid prime being an exception since the world was fun to explore). i knew the sticker grind was badly managed. i knew this was a game i probably was not going to enjoy. did i listen to myself? no....i went and wasted 45 quid. hard to say of all time. ODST maybe ( usually co-op saves halo but bloody hell not even that did it).

i forgot about paper Mario sticker star. For me it was a disappointment compared to the other games, but I don't regret buying it.

Not one? I'd like to think I'm a smart shopper but for the games I listed I got them because they were really cheap. Otherwise I would have had no intention on buying them.

Sonic the Hedgehog (PS3) Atrociously bad game that should never have existed. I regret Lair because it was horrible until the controls patch, but that was like a year later and I ended up getting it at launch. That's all I got.

CoD4 was probably my worst purchase of last gen.

The campaign took me like 3 hours to beat, and CoD multiplayer is just awful. Far too shallow for me.

LA Noire. Such a boring game for me. I get what they were trying to do, but god damn was I bored. I'll probably say Rage simply because the game just abruptly ends. The game had a lot of potential, too bad Id only made half a game.
