So the end of the year is almost here so I think this is a valid thread (though for some the worst purchase may come via the Steam Winter sale so in that case feel free to reference this thread at that time).

So what is the game you wish you didn't shell out the cash for this year?

For me the award goes to Guild Wars 2. That's probably shocking to some and even myself because I really wanted and thought
i'd fall in love with that game but it just won't grab me no matter how many times I try to get into it.

Well it's not game as actual "game" for me it's more of a service provider, like I bought Sniper Ghost Warrior from GMG, and since it was my first purchase from GMG I didn't know it was not Steam-redeemable and that is was only for GMG's Capsule, I asked support of GMG for refund after like 3 minutes of purchase only to get answer that I can't get a refund because I received game key and their ToS say that if key has been disclosed to buyer, buyer has no right to get a refund, I was like dafuq? I had no real chance of getting refund at all because of like instant delivery of product, now I probably will never play that game, so that's my regret for this year.

The games i regret buying the most are Gotham City Impostors and From Dust,jut because i spent more than 10€ for them.
Never spent more for a game i didn't liked, i usually force myself to find something good in a game if i pay a lot for it (and i give up only if i don't find anything after some hours).
Also,i wish i didn't bought some games that were in sale,like: X-Blades,Cubemen,Zombie Driver.

Medieval 2: Total War. Every faction has the same units as almost every other faction. Little unit diversity. Better stick with Rome: Total War.

Revelation 2012, so many updates and still fail. and that's really sad, because, i really like the idea, the theme of the game.
And then course Dejobaan Complete Pack. At the end it came out, that the only game in this pack, which i really enjoyed to play, was The Wonderful End of the World. Although, this game was before buying, the only one which i had no interest in.
Ooouu and Serious Sam: The Random Encounter also. thank god that it was only 0.9 cents or something.

naa is not invalid at all, think about it... 49€ (full price i think) for a 6 hours game played on normal!? well i think you don't really know the worth of the money, or maybe you are rich and you can buy game and games and games ...

And maybe you didn't understand this "the game was fun" but is not worth even 14€

sorry for bad english

I preordered and have absolutely no regrets about this one. I don't care how short the game is, all the kills make it worth every penny, plus I'm a die hard Darkness fan

Borderlands (first one),
CoD MW 3,
Dark Fall Lost Souls,
Deus Ex HR (good game but I watched a walkthrough, playing was uninteresting),
Reign Conflict of Nations.
I dont count games bought for $5 or so that disappointed me (like Assassins Creed, except AC III)

For me it was skyrim, I just never got into any of it. It got boring fast, a lot of the missions were the same. Its a fun game for a couple of hours but I can't sink 30 hours of gameplay in that one. I just feel that quests get repetitive and tedious.

I paid 80 quid for the limited edition thingy. I got through the game thinking it was half decent but no where near as good as 2, especially not 1. Completed it and thought "why the fuck did I pay for this shit". That was the day I vowed never to pay for an EA game again.

It was originally called Smuggle Truck, and you were carrying illegal immigrants across the border. Apple rejected it. Apple approved recasting it as Snuggle Truck, a game where you carry colorful animals.
