Most shameful game purchase

full priced sonic 06.

that's my only big stain I think. I'm good at knowing if a game is gonna be good.
Even when I was a kid looking at screenshots on magazines, I could tell If I was gonna like a game or not.

If you like the game, you like the game. A lot of creative types are complete shitheads. Plus, IIRC that guy was a cuck whose wife took the Wii U when she finally left him.

Although B1 was way better.

BL2 removed revolvers which was bad.
Although the environments were way better and more colorful.

The plot sucked though.
 
Pokémon Stadium for Nintendo 64.
Game rips your game boy data apart if you do things like Mew Glitch or Missingno. Plus, the only good thing is the soundtrack, without Red or Blue the game becomes a clusterfuck of fake difficulty, because the rentals are shit. Some people can beat the game using rentals, but I couldn't do it. That made me glad I never bought Pokémon Stadium 2.

And on topic of Nintendo 64, Star Wars episode 1: Racer. Bought for hype but then ended up trading for Star Meme 64 and never regretted it.

I bought Skyrim for the Nintendo Switch, even though I have it for the PC. And the PS3. And the PS4.

To be fair, my friends did rail on me for doing it. But I'll admit, I am a slave to Todd Howard. Skyrim for the gamecube? I'd buy it.

Bought Skyrim for the switch.
You're probably like "wtf, AJ Skyrim is amazing and it pays my bills"
Don't get me wrong it's beautiful but then I remembered how annoying games with quests are.

I preordered borderlands 2 at full price.
I wasn't aware of Burch at the time.

Are you telling me you weren't touched when that one pivotal character from the first game was relating an emotional aside about her 'skag pearl' wedding ring?

Burch sucks for so many reasons.

1) Killed a character from the first game off camera.

2) Pointlessly explains away the character's scars in a way that attempts to be simultaneously clownish and tragic.

3) Tries to make you feel sad by abruptly introducing said character's dead husband

3a) but the husband is inadvertently revealed as a dangerous moron for giving his wife the equivalent of a bikini made of shark chum, but this isn't played for laughs. Hard to feel sorry for either of them because of this.


4) Hinges all this on a plot device called a skag pearl wedding ring, which carries the emotional impact of a Goomba Tooth Mitzvah medallion.

I don't think I've ever experienced writing so inexplicably atonal as Burch's, he is uniquely un-gifted at his craft.

I remember that one character (with brain disease lol) who tricked you into mortaring a chauvinist who was living on a cliff. I think that was a mistake on 2k by alienating their main customer base: gamers.

I bought Duke Nukem Forever on release knowing full well what it was, no regret. I actually like the kinda bad games and buy them willingly and they're often the games I finish.

Compared to other Build games, DNF wasn't that bad of a game, it was mediocre at best but it wasn't that "failure of epic proportions" type game.

I have the PC version of Silent Hill Homecoming for free on Steam; it's so bug-ridden that I still feel ripped off.
