Games you regret playing?

[Timbjerr]

Pretty much any crappy party game for the Wii.

About a year back, my aunt and my younger cousin were living in my place while she was in between jobs. My cousin was enamored by my Wii and even got his mom to by some Wii games for him so he can hog my Wii playing these crappy party games that I ended up playing with him when he didn't want to play alone. I tried to coax him into playing a good party game like Smash Bros. Brawl, but he insisted I was cheating everytime I beat him. XD

...the worst part of the deal was that I had to hide my M-rated games away while they were around, so I had no NMH for a whole two months. D:

Anything close to Runescape. Only nerds in my opinion play it. The exact same for World of Warcraft, mostly because of my interpretation of it on South Park.

Way to be ignorant. I guess if you saw a parody showing that the only people who play Counter-Strike (or the like) are murderers who train their 'skills' you'd think that was true as well?

 

[Harmonie]

Animal Crossing City Folk.

I regret that any money had to be spent on the game. As an Animal Crossing fan I expected an Animal Crossing sequel on the Wii, not a downgraded port of Wild World.

 

[Zech]

World of Warcraft, its alright, the game isnt SO bad but I just got bored with it after 2 months, and those 2 months felt like only two weeks, I played pretty much lol
Runescape, I had played this for.. 3 years total? Nowadays the game is so screwed up you can barely do nothing there.. I have VERY good memories from it, though.
Habbo, this is not an actual '' game '', but I really regret spending about 200-300 euros on it..

Why is everyone mentioning online games? :/

I regret ever buying

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed - Dynasty Warriors in the future. 'Nuff said.

Super Dragon Ball Z - My god, this was the worst DBZ game I've ever seen. The fighting system was terrible and confusing, limited character selection, no unlockables, and no tutorial.

Fallout 3(kind of) - Well the gameplay was so amazing, -> No srsly, Ending spoilers. ->

Spoiler:

The ending was TERRIBLE. If you decide to sacrifice yourself, you're proclaimed a hero and the world is saved but.. You can't explore this new world, something I really wish I could do. Also you develop such a close bond with your character that you don't want the experience with him/her to end. But if you decide NOT to sacrafice yourself they call you a coward, even though you live you STILL can't explore the newfound world. Srsly. What.

Besides that, I love the game with all of my heart.

There's way more buuut.. I can't think of them off the top of my head.

 

[Drawicia]

Drawn to Life- terrible game play and ending
Nintendogs- gets really boring after a while
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 - i thought i would like it because it had final fantasy characters in it, but the actual game itself just plain failed

 

[flopy_frops]

naruto ninja council two for ds i hated it and the sad thing is i bought for 50 bucks >]

 

[Guillermo]

Hah. :[

Um, I regret playing Nintendogs so much. ;;
Spyro: A New Beginning on the DS sucked too.
Anddd Pokemon Battle Revolution. Do I even need to explain?

 

[kohei]

wow, no one has mentioned FFX-2.

X-2 just had bad storyline and raep'd the existing characters. That is all.
The battle/chain and Dressphere system were actually pretty interesting.

I actually regret buying and playing Pokemon Platinum now.
Pretty much the same as Pearl, and if I knew HG/SS was coming out in a years time, I wouldn't have gotten it.

 

[Her]

Any Guitar Hero game, -gets shot-.

 

[parallelzero]

Pokemon Battle Revolution
I'm pretty sure this is common sense. If you've played it, you should know why.

Blue Dragon
I got this 360 RPG for really cheap, and when I played it I understood why.

Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
I really hate the gameplay in this game. I don't know why, I just do.


And am I the only person who liked Sonic and the Secret Rings? ;.;

 

[thedestinedblade]

Also, Tales of Vesperia and only because I wasted 60 bucks, and the PS3 is getting a more complete version so to speak. It's a more of a regret paying than paying. ;D

 

[Alistair]

And am I the only person who liked Sonic and the Secret Rings? ;.;

No, I liked it. XD

Here are some games I regret playing.

Final Fantasy VII
The Reason? The characters and storyline didn't appeal to me that much. Cloud was one of the most unlikeable Final Fantasy characters in my opinion, and Sephiroth just wasn't as badass as I expected him to be. Of course, the main components of the game are the ones that I don't like.

Essentially, hype failed.

Pokémon Sapphire Version
The Reason? I played this game so much for the two years I had my original copy. I played it so much, that I maxed out the clock and went over by about a hundred hours.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
The Reason? The physics in this game were changed quite a bit from previous ones like THPS, THUG, and THPS2. They weren't changed in a good way, either, and my playing style adapted to them. Needless to say, I needed to retrain for my favorite Tony Hawk game (THPS3) Besides that, the fact that you had to find tricks in order to be able to use them was really stupid.

The Sims 3
The Reason? Well, I don't regret it now, because my new laptop can actually handle the game. I regretted playing it on my old laptop, because it only met the bare minimum specs that were needed to play the game. The game ran horribly, but the Create-A-Style feature kept me coming back for more.

Tomb Raider: Revelation
The Reason? I can't remember where now, but when I got to a certain point in the game, I got trapped somewhere and couldn't get out. The worst part was I saved in the area. I tried for hours on ways to get out, but none of them prevailed.

Halo
The Reason? Console FPS controls and I are mortal enemies, let's put it that way. The reason why I started playing it was because I liked the storyline, but after a few hours of those horrid controls, I gave up and never picked the game up again. By the way, I only played it when it was still only on the Xbox.

NiGHTS Into Dreams...
The Reason? I played this game at a friend's house a long time ago, but after the Saturn and the Dreamcast died. The game was just so good that I wanted it, but I could never get it. I never saw it in stores, and I didn't have the internet at the time (around late 2002, early 2003. Back then, I still only had a Tandy RLX 1000 computer with no modem).

There are more, but I can't think of them right now.

 

[Guillermo]

lmao after playing about 4 hours into Elder Scrolls Oblivion, I hate it. The graphics are terrible and the rate of the game urks me. Not to mention it's not much of an RPG.

I'd much prefer Fable to this.

 

[InfinIcy]

Rock Band 1 (Wii Version) - No online, character creation, or compatibility with Wii les pauls? wth?! D: Other than that I liked it.

Any Rayman Raving Rabbids game - I blame the commercials for making them look awesome. :/

Kingdom Hearts 2: I rented it, and now I'll never be able to play it again since my PS3 doesn't play PS2 games and my PS2 won't read discs...:/ (I even kept it like...2 weeks after the day I was supposed to return it. lol)

GH Aerosmith and GH Metallica - I like these games but too much of the same artist/genre makes me lose interest. D: I won't mind GH Van Halen though, since I'm getting it free from that GH5 offer. :p

Gran Turismo 5 Prologue - I like it, but since it's only a prologue, it lacks some stuff the other GT games had. :/

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Pokemon Battle Revolution: The customizable characters were the best "highlight" and even that's grasping for straws.

Pokemon Yellow: I hate Pikachu. Why did I play a game where it's the star? Torturing it and getting it mad at you is only fun for so long.

Animal Crossing DS: Picked this up when I thought I'd have easy access to Wi-fi. Turns out that didn't happen for two years after buying it, and there's only so much to do on your own.

I'm debating whether to add Avalon Code here. The odd controls, slow paced storyline, and weird gameplay elements are starting to frustrate me.

 

[Heart's Soul]

RuneScape - Annoying after 4 days.
Gaia Online - Can't even register.
MySims DS - Where to begin? 4 times and I didn't get 1 star.
Pokemon Battle Revolution - graphics and gameplay is a bit good, but dated. No easy multiplayer or story too.
Mr. Bean for Wii - Graphics are terrible, song is terrible, no help at all!
Animal Crossing SERIES - I wasted 20 minutes and ended up making an essay about how bad it was without using bad words.
Halo SERIES - Really repetitive and felt worse than S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl. Also, the graphics were kind of dated for me.
GH World Tour, Aerosmith - World Tour froze every few seconds and Aerosmith... I hate that rock group, but I got it! How?
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (somehow, I have all 3) - Really bad, so annoying, but Emerald was a bit better, though. No real love.
Sims 3 (before using my sis's computer) - didn't work or exploded my PC
Sims 2 DS & GBA - GBA had too many glitches in it and the DS had no story.
Avalon Code - slow, bad actions, never reading a 1700 page manual again.
Sonic Rush - Really confusing and has bad songs. Bleh. Zone 4 was impossible.
Pokemon Platinum - very repeated after I defeated Diamond 40 times.
The Russian edition of Pirates of the Carribean 3 gave me a well-lost 8 hours. Then, I got bored of it.

 

[iRawr-x]

Runescape
I was addicted to that game for 2 years, until, Jagex removed the wilderness. But I regret playing that game.

Pokemon Platinum
I just felt like... I've done this before.

Animal Crossing
GameCube: Still addicted after these long years.
DS: No thanks.
Wii: Go to hell, this game was not made for the Wii.

Pokemon Ranch
Useless.

Adventure Quest
It's just, bad... very bad. Although I did enjoy AQWorlds for a week.

Dragonfable
"Have I played a game like this before?"

Super Smash Brawl
After 8 straight hours of playing that game, the disc just randomly broke, it stopped working!

 

[tim the pokemon geek]

Pokemon dungen explorers of time. It was alright for an hour or so. After that it sucked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasted 35 bucks on that game

 

[Heart's Soul]

Explorers of Time isn't that bad. I got a good 40 hours out of it.

Anyway, Pac-Man World 3 is on my bad list and Kingdom Hearts 358 Days Over 2 is now in my possession.
