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.

Stronghold 3. Large amount of bugs make it entirely unplayable, and the devs have given up on it and won't fix them.

Just how bad IS RE6? I've seen the reviews all over the place, but the negative ones are VERY negative.

Fortunately nothing this year so far. Almost Mass Effect 3 but co-op actually improved the game as whole for me so it was not just waste of money. Last game I regret getting is Battlefield 3, hate Battlelog and it got worse with every patch so I played like 20h. I played every Battlefield game on PC and this was such a disappointment.

The only games I really regret purchasing were ones that later showed up in bundles for a lot less than I paid or where I could get a bunch of other games I was interested in as well for the same price. I can't think of any real situations where I was unhappy with the game itself, just how I bought it.

For that we'd have to go back to last year where I was profoundly disappointed in L.A. Noire, which I got as a gift, and the absolutely terrible Heavy Rain, which I got for free from Sony when my PS3 broke yet again.

Hero Academy. The game had a nice idea, but it was implemented and presented poorly, with a sucky online.

Black Ops 2, Story is to easy, Multiplayer is no fun. Zombies is the only feature I really like, only just.

Lol thats hell of a reason not to like some game. I personally even wouldn't play co-op game like this with strangers, but only with people on my list. So never even noticed anyway.

Why did you regret that? I'm considering to buy this pack aswell.

the gta pack was a really good deal but grand theft auto 4 and episodes for liberty city are terrible terrible ports, took me a long time to even get it running above 30 fps and i have a top end rig. Now that vice city is temporarily off steam i would say that it isnt worth it atm.

Although it is a nice deal, for some reason none of the GTA 4 stuff works for me, and that was one of the major selling points for the pack

Super Street Fighter IV, not because it's a bad game but because I suck so horribly at it.
I haven't played a SF game since SFII Turbo so I haven't really played these types of games at all. Here I can hardly beat easy bots.
In other fighting games I can usually handle myself fairly well but here I can't do jack. Guess I'm just a horrible SF gamer :p

I was just like this when i first played sf4 back in 09 couldn't even beat the story on easiest difficulty, I gave up but after watching some youtube videos I got hyped for it again and began practicing and got better and better, I'm not great but fairly decent at it.

Just gotta practice and learn some combos and blocks. I had such a hard time getting into SF. I'm probably garbage now but a couple years back I definitely improved.

Flatout 3. The racing part works... mostly. Thats about all the postitive comments you will find anywhere about it:) Demolition parts are insane, not sure if its really meant to last 10sec or just completely bugged. One of the tracks was missing most of the graphics until it was recently patched... after I finished playing, I had to guess the way around the course lol. 13 acheivements were added for a halloween mod/dlc (?) that never came out due to lack of interest lol.
