Prior: some formula 1 game for the playstation. My dad never played it and it was bought for him. Huge waste of money. Rollercoaster tycoon 3 - i played it just not enough. Not enough new things to play with made it boring.
Now: Fifa 13 somewhat. I like the career mode but it's not completely to my satisfaction, simply simulating makes your good team d not so good quite a lot. + Crash crash crash at release.

What are your regretful buys?

Wait... what? Why would you buy a game you can't run? If you save your money you can buy better parts now and buy the games later. Why? First of all you'll have a better machine earlier so everything you do on your computer will run better, second you'll be saving money because the longer you wait to buy most games the cheaper they get, and lastly because you won't feel sad knowing you own games you can't play.

Comment has been collapsed.

For me it really was the other way around,I kinda liked the second but felt some parts missing(gameplay,driving physics) which the third had.To me the third was more of a completion of the second

SR3 has what feels like a smoother and more polished engine, but so much stuff was cut compared to SR2 that it can't be called a "completion".

I got the game in one of the THQ bankruptcy bundles, though, so it was worth what I paid for it.

11 years ago
Permalink

Comment has been collapsed.

To be honest I enjoyed the story and the humour,and the game itself seemed more polished.But I have to say I have only a few hours of sr2 played,I was deterred by the engine physics and the gameplay(the driving for me was really bad,like even when you drove a golf cart you entered this warp zone and it seemed like you were touching the speed of light)

EA's incredible marketing division decided that patches should be in the form of the standard "X.Y", where "X" goes up when they do client changes, and "Y" goes up when they only do server changes.

It's not patch "4.0", really - it's more like 1.04.

But they have a new DLC to sell you :vomit:

Reasons? Good graphics, decent quests, big areas, nice voiceovers, good sound, various buddies, collectibles, freedom of movement? rambo/stealth gaming style? weapon jamming etc etc? So?
The only thing that comes to my mind is: you don't like sandbox games with huge areas. Far Cry 2 is a good game overall. Period. The fact you don't like it is a different thing.
Learn to separate "Bad Game" (for obvious reasons) from a "Game You don't Like"

Battlefield 3 (simply not a Battlefield game anymore - wouldn't regret if it was called Bad Company 3, because then it would've met my expectations)
Crysis 2 (god was this game bad - didn't even bother to buy the third one)
Spore (fun to play in the beginning, just not motivating in the long run - maybe I should give it another try...)
Skyrim (played for 2 hours and then stopped playing - maybe I should give it another try)
Arma 2 (the tutorial was seriously broken and left me alone in a complex simulation without explaining anything)
Far Cry 2 (do I have to explain what's wrong about this game?)
Homefront (because I didn't want to believe the gametests saying "it will disappoint you")
Hitman Absolution (played the sniper mission demo, thought "what a great game!", played the real game and thought "meh")
Most indie games (I said MOST, not ALL. The problem with indie game is that they get hyped because of their uniqueness, but 'unique' is too often used by people, that obviously have no idea about game design and hide the fact, that they couldn't do it better if they tried behind what I call 'artistic nonsense')
