Most shameful game purchase

[The Last Stand]

Minecraft. Bought in the hype, not for me.

 

[CIA Nigger]

I preordered the Master Chief Collection because I expected the online to actually work. I was stuck at a screen waiting for players.

 

[drtoboggan]

Fable 3.

 

[Edgeworth]

I, uh... bought Night in the Woods.

In my defence, the only thing I really knew about it was the art style which appealed to me but in retrospect, I reeeeally wish I knew that the creator was an immature crybaby manchild who puts shoplifting and vandal into his video games 'smashing capitalism' then bitches when people pirate his game and that he needs money. Kinda wish I didn't give him money for that.

But the art style is so niiiice.

Starforge is a regret that will stick with me my whole life. $60 early access. Fuck me.

 

[GarthMarenghisDankplace]

Dream Daddy Dating Sim. To my surprise it was actually well written and funny and I grew very attached to my daughter.

 

[Lucky Wildcard]

Red Steel 2 at launch. What wasted potential...

 

[Martys_not_smarty]

The Lost World for ps1, this was the first release that had difficulty that was fuckall and broken however they fixed it in a greatest hits.
Saga Frontier, even with the trick to get unlimited money and buy the best gear possible again it was hard as fuck and felt very unrewarding.
Elder Scrolls Online, I've heard they really cleaned up that game but when I played it it was a cluster fuck of ADD and micromanagement.

 

[Zorin OS Is Awesome]

An SNES and Street Fighter 2. In 2013.

 

[Red Hood]

Does backing Kickstarters that went nowhere count? I'm pretty sure a few of those haven't delivered. Luckily I never put a whole lot of money into them.

On a secondary note I got the remastered Bioshock games for free on Steam since I owned the originals. I would be pissed if I had paid money for them since they're buggier and rougher running than the originals and actually look worse.

Sonic '06. What a mess of a game that thing was. Decent soundtrack though.

 

[Zaragoza]

Brink 2010
DayZ

Evolve. And the season pass. As far as had been advertised, it was supposed to be the seasons content as it came out. But no, the season pass was only for COSMETICS. And then the game tanked so it didnt matter anyway.

I'm so sorry.

 

[BeanBidan]

Hyperdimension Neptunia PP. I didn't have a phone or internet access and needed a wank. $20 bucks and I haven't touched it since 2014

 

[Kyria the Great]

I bought Battleborn over Overwatch, even preordered the damn thing lets just say the Borderlands style artwork blinded my better judgement.

 

[Midlife Sperglord]

I, uh... bought Night in the Woods.

In my defence, the only thing I really knew about it was the art style which appealed to me but in retrospect, I reeeeally wish I knew that the creator was an immature crybaby manchild who puts shoplifting and vandal into his video games 'smashing capitalism' then bitches when people pirate his game and that he needs money. Kinda wish I didn't give him money for that.

But the art style is so niiiice.

I actually enjoyed that game when I unlocked all of its achievements on my Xbox, but then again, I knew nothing about the creator until I read your post just now. It puts things in a different perspective.

Ultima 9. Worth 2 bucks at a thrift store.

 

[Zaragoza]

Minecraft. Bought in the hype, not for me.

To be honest, the game is blast to play with a close group of friends. If you're playing it by yourself, no amount of mods can really help alleviate how boring the game can get. I kinda blame Yogscast for making Minecraft look like fun with just only 2 people.

Two Worlds 1 and 2 for 360. I knew they were bad going in, but wanted to see how bad they were. The answer is: REALLY fucking bad. The first one would skip cut scenes or freeze trying to play them. I ended up watching the cut scenes on youtube, and like the rest of the game they sucked.

The second one was slightly better, and would actually go through brief periods where I forgot how terrible it was.

 

[MG 620]

Undertale. Perhaps I would have liked it if I were 12?

 

[Some Manajerk]

Gonna go with Final Fantasy 13 as well. bought it on steam thinking "hey, its only 15$, lets see what all the fuss is about. the first warning was the game needing 60gb of space. Apparently its the cutscenes or something. Then i spent *checks steam* 85 minutes running down long linear corridors fighting various monsters and human dudes. Yes, this also describes Games like FF10 as well, but the difference is in that i at least knew why i was running down a long corridor.
I stopped once i realized that despite playing almost an hour and a half i still knew fuck-all about why i was doing anything, or hell why the characters i was controlling were doing anything. Hiding your entire story in appendixes does not work when the story is the only reason i am moving from point A to point B.
