What game or games do you regret playing the most?

Control, its pretentious and boring and also looks like a blurry mess because of how many temporal effects they put in it, I had to hex edit a DLL to disable TAA.

I also highly regret playing Destiny 2, it was fine with friends doing raids, but the game is designed to get you addicted and I was like a drug addict playing it. Luckily I cut it off cold turkey and apparently its gotten even worse since that, so I count myself lucky, but not before I spent almost 2k hours on it.

No game has disappointed me quite like The Outer Worlds. I was promised a RPG that was similar in style to Fallout New Vegas and instead I got a subpare FPS with very few actual RPG elements inside of it. The world itself was boring as hell as well. wow guys did you know uncontrolled capitalism is bad? That will be 60 dollars by the way. Also I hated all the characters inside that game. They all come off as smug know it alls who treat you like a idiot. Making reddit tier quips and telling you where to go at any moment not letting you explore at all.

Skyrim. One day I was playing and I realized I'd spent like 2-3 hours doing nothing but organizing my inventory and crafting things. I haven't played it since.

Skyrim for me as well. One day I was doing that golden claw quest and it just occurred to me that all I was doing was left clicking on bandits and pausing to drink potions and every NPC treated me like a god for this trivial task. The magic just instantly died.

Metal Gear Survive. It's not even that bad of a game, mechanically speaking. It still has most of the bones of MGSV, just perverted and bastardized to hell and back. However, there is no plot and no payoff, and by the end of the whole ordeal, you just feel dirty, like you were held down and raw-dogged by Konami against your will.

Final Fantasy XIV. Really tried, but the fucking infants in bikinis eventually wore me down.
 
Pokemon Shield; that's when I started getting pokemon fatigue. I feel even worse because I got it as a gift and I'm usually too nice to return something someone got me.
 
Mine is from childhood. Scooby Doo for the Sega Genesis. It was buggy, and it was how I discovered I don’t like point-and-click games. Waste of a trip to Blockbuster.
 
The handful of times I've forced myself to finish a game, I tend to feel like the game just scammed me out of my time, and I never get a satisfying sense of completion. To this day, I have never earned 100% achievements on anything except for some Telltale games. I am certain I would feel like a total retard if I sat down and ground out some absurd achievement that takes ages to get, so I never bothered.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla. It was a fun game, at first, and exploring medieval England was nice. But one of its DLCs (the one set in Ireland) clued me in to how "modern" the game truly was. As the character who takes you to Ireland is described as a "gender-fluid" Persian woman who was apparently accepted by her family, and who just so happened to show up in the middle of the English countryside to take you to where you needed to go. I would have liked it more if they'd endeavored to embody the sort of Victorian austerity that much of that time was given, rather than insert their own politics and ideas into things, under the pretense of representing "real history."

They actually did that in Origins as well, but it was somewhat subtler. I remember in the History Mode they had that they deliberately added in child NPCs who were being taught by schoolmasters, in the Greek fashion. Yet, in order to not "represent historical sexism," they had those children be a mixture of boys and girls, despite it being inaccurate to the time period.

I'm willing to accept some things as artistic license, but it's clear to me that Ubisoft is more concerned with showing their ideal version of history, rather than what it actually was. Thus, I'll likely never buy another Assassin's Creed game again.

Defiance

I bought it because a friend was hyped about it and wanted to play a game with me.

I played for like an hour and was like "this is shit bro" and ended up refunding it I think. Or I just bit the bullet and never played it again I don't remember if Steam had returns back then.

He told me the TV show ended up being shit too.

Blasphemous on steam. The trailer made it look like the combat was the focus when in actuality it was the platforming, and all the bosses save for a few were incredibly easy and lackluster. Very disappointed, Hollow Knight is better imo.

Also the Final Fantasy Vii remake, the combat is fun and the graphics are amazing but the changes made to the story and the fact that it's just the first hour from the original game stretched into 20 is incredibly insulting.

The Witcher 3, mostly because as soon as I got some other games I immediately dropped it, which says to me I was only playing it because I didn't have anything better to do. It has fun parts but I found it to be mostly repetitive. Also the combat sucks.
