What games did you regret spending money on, and why?
Call of duty: ghost on ps3 and spiderman 3 on the ps2
both were cross-gen releases that mailed it in when creating the previous gen version
This one is easy...Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball.
Ouch. I even regretted renting that one.Quote:

oh, GTA 4
Oh fuck that game. I slogged through the entire motherfucker because I thought it would get good at one point based on how amazing GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas were. The only things I liked in that game were going to the comedy club for Ricky Gervais' show and when Roman got shot and killed at the end. And I bought that on launch day for full price. Fuck that game.Quote:

Watch Dogs.
Such was the shittiness of that game that I knew it sucked within 5 minutes.
Never played it more than once and when I went to trade it in they wouldn’t even give me 15 dollars for it.
I still have that piece of shit here somewhere.
Fight Night Round 4 was a huge letdown.
Hitman 2, Metro Exodus, and The Division 2 are some of my most recent regrets.
:depressed fuck i am the only one that likes that gameQuote:

What? Why?Quote:

I still check occasionally to see if a new one has been announced.
For starters I had to get it on ps3 for some reason at release when xbox was fine. All they had to do was take the engine from Round 3, which was perfect, and add to it. It felt like a different game and way too fast. The blocking mechanics were different from what I remember...didn't play it longer than an hour.Quote:

I just kept starting and dropping the game. It took me over a year to play it all the way through iirc.
Wow. Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of all time. Have played through it at least 4 times. With all the DLC
Agreed, 100% with you. Tbh, the Fallout series as a whole (besides 76) has been pretty great...Quote:

I had never played an rpg in my life before Fallout 3, was always more into military shooters and open world games like GTA and its numerous clones.
At the time i wanted to try an rpg, Fallout 3 looked like a simple transition since it had the 1st person shooting and open world gameplay i was familiar with and looked somewhat light on the rpg aspects.
Long story short, the game felt like a drag when i wasn't blowing shit up. Endless lines of dialogue coming from npc's that i had to answer to and constantly micromanaging attributes, skills and loot bored me to death.
... and that was the last time i played an rpg :lol
Bigger shame that (1) they didn't let Obsidian make a better game on top of FO4 like they did with New Vegas on top of FO3 and (2) no fucking Elder Scrolls games this gen. Bethesda went from being better than Rockstar last gen to being what, Hello Games this gen?Quote:

:lol at least Hello Games worked hard to make NMS a pretty damn good game now that they finally patched it a million times. bethesada has been absolute trash latelyQuote:
