Most shameful game purchase

[augment]

I bought Daikatana brand new when they were being written off at a dollar.

 

[Slimy Time]

Shadow the Edgehog. Worse, I brought it because the cover had him holding a gun.

 

[Notgoodwithusernames]

Overwatch

 

[Disc]

I innocently bought one of the neptunia games, thinking it was just going to be gaming commentary done in anime girls.

Then things got weird with like bandages and shit and I bailed out asap.

 

[Swiss46]

Buying 7 extra copies of Halo 2 for a lan party.

 

[Ruin]

I own all of Compile Heart's shit. I still maintain Monster Monpiece is a very fun TCG/Tower defense hybrid though, worth a play.

For me it was Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly for the Gamecube. I was (and still am) a big fan of the Spyro series so I felt like I had to have it. I didn’t know it was that MUCH of a glitch-filled mess brought on by Universal’s need to push for a Holiday release.

That said, I can thank my stars that my family was more of a Nintendo household growing up. While I did have a PS1 when I was kid I didn’t have a PS2 at the time of this game’s release. That act alone may have saved me feom furter tarring my memories of the game thanks to the devs supposed using the two weeks between the PS2 and GC releases to patch some bugs.

BMX XXX, because I was 15.

 

[Stasi]

I liked Mortal Kombat back in the day and spent more money than I should have on shitty clones.

Bought Cardinal Syn and Bio Freaks for my PSX, both absolutely awful fucking 3d fighting games. This was before the days you could look up 100 youtube gameplay videos and buying a game because you liked the cover or the blurb on the back was more common.

Still, cant believe I spent money on these turds.

 

[Back me up!]

I backed Mighty Number 9 for $20......and right before the Kickstarter ended I bumped it up to $40. God all if that was a big damn mistake.

 

[Milwaukee Macho Man]

My co worker convinced me to purchase Defiance at launch. I only played the tutorial and shut it off.

 

[REGENDarySumanai]

I imported the Vita version of the first Criminal Girls game on Amazon and went into it knowing fuck all about it. I played the game to completion. It costed me $60.

 

[Jason Wynn]

Not a purchase I made, but I had convinced my parents to get me Quest 64 for Christmas the year it came out. That's a big regret for sure.

As for what I've bought myself, I bought a Wii and ended up barely playing it. The motion sensor was janky as fuck and the only game I really put any time into was Brawl. System just sucked and I ended up just giving it to my younger brother.

 

[Vlinny-kun]

I convinced my mom to buy me Sonic and the Secret Rings when I was 13. No particular reason really. Just was looking for a new game to play and nothing else seemed to interest me. I dropped the game after the third level because I could not for the life of me get to the end of the level without breaking those shitty pots that counted as an automatic failure.

This is the exact moment where I became more critical of game purchases.

 

[Pumpkin Girl IRL]

Huniepop. I like match 3 games, and the jokes made me laugh like a retard.

I'm not the only one it seems.
UK version though.

I bought Haze brand new because it was Free Radical and they had only made good games up to that point. The guys at gamecrazy felt so bad for me because they knew I was a really poor kid and could typically only afford maybe one new game every year or two so they let me return it despite it being opened. Got a copy of the Orange Box with the return money. I miss Gamecrazy, they were like Gamestop if they actually gave a shit. People who worked there actively warned me off of buying dogshit like Two Worlds and instead to just save up for Oblivion instead.

 

[Mimic]

Legacy of Goku on GBA. Knew nothing about it and got it new. Got home, nearly beat it in an hour, then headed right back to return it and get Sonic Adventure 2 Battle instead.

Speaking of Sonic, I bought Sonic Shuffle.

Haze. Wasn't that the shitty Halo clone where all your squadmates are fratboys who inexplicably use "BOOSH" as a catchphrase and in which there's some sort of shitty sixth form common room "politically relevant" storyline about TEH MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX or something.

Super Mario 3D all-stars, but I still enjoy it because I am a huge 3D Mario soy-boy.
