Most shameful game purchase

[Caesare]

Minecraft. Bought in the hype, not for me.

I don't understand how anyone could be deceived by the "hype" of a game like Minecraft when what you see is exactly what you get, especially with all the videos on youtube. What were you expecting that it didn't deliver on?

Dear Esther. I guess lots of people get tricked into buying a trash indie game at some point, but Dear Esther is a special kind of awful.

I still haven't forgiven Fullbright for convincing me Gone Home was more "Are You Afraid of the Dark" than a very special episode of "Blossom".

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice...won't get fooled again.

Star Citizen, although somehow I managed to sell my virtual ship for a profit because their userbase is crazy.

The first Star Wars Battlefront remake on PS4 is the only game I have that I honestly wish I didn't. It's one of the most cynical products I've ever purchased, and all my concerns about it were verified after playing just one dull match.

is it bad that I am still a tad optimistic about that game?

Huniepop for the boobs. Then I played it and realized it was great and the shame left.

I bought huniepop for the boobs, found out it was pretty good so the shame left, then realized I could have just looked up a cg gallery if I cared that much, and the shame came back.

I actually bought some PSP games.

SimCity 2013 and The Sims 4 were my most shameful game purchases, albeit I purchased SC2013 years after it's release. Both of those games turned out as bad as I thought they would be.

I’d like it to be good too but with that much money involved ($195,694,737 and rising) combined with their sales techniques and feature creep makes it look really suspect.

I downloaded the uncensored patch which brought the same back. But it's still fun 20/10 would buy the sequel for shame again.

Overwatch, if to go by /pol/ standards.

Oh, just remembered another one. The Fellowship of the Ring for GBA. this was made the same time as the LOTR movies were coming out, so being hyped with birthday money i see it and figured, hey, maybe this will be fun. however, this was the only game to stick more to the books than the movies. and you get the feeling the devs didn't care. the game was completely broken, with items you needed to progress often not spawning, and by Moria you'd have enemies who could one shot your party. did i mention there is also a glitch that happens in every game that means you cannot complete it?

Fortunately they learned from thier screwups, since the GBA games based on the next two movies were fun little Diablo-type hack and slash games.

Bedazzled Swarovski Bratz DS Lite.
Wait no, that was actually my greatest video game related purchase.

 

[Pyromaniac]

No man's sky, pre ordered and everything. Haven't pre ordered a game since.

They made big improvements to the game, try it out sometimes- I put in like 50 hours so far on it now.

Dracula X Chronicles might have been the best thing I remember on the PSX. And that's just cause I really wanted to play Dracula X.

Wait what? Free unlocking?

Google Cream API. You can get the DLC files for paradox games on CS.RIN.RU
Fuck those swedish jews wanting 20€ for minor DLCs.

 

[jewelry investor]

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

 

[MediocreMilt]

For me it's Metroid: Other M.

Preordered it from GameStop for $50. Returned it to GameStop a week later for $5. And I was glad to get it.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

SingStar: Queen for the Playstation 3.

-I have no friends
-I can't sing
-For some reason I thought Queen was Abba

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.
