Games you regretted buying?

• DLC Quest - I thought it was going to be funny, lighthearted poking of constant DLC. It felt like it was trying too hard to be funny and came up short.
• Redshirt - Why I thought I'd enjoy this, I don't know. It's a social sim in the vein of Facebook. I barely touch Facebook itself. A good game if you're into social sims but...
• Hacker Evolution (w/ Untold and Duality) - The hacking system is incredibly frustrating. Uplink was smoother (and not without its own faults) and there's several freeware hacking games (like Hacknet and DarkSigns) that are more GUI friendly or are pure text-based.
• Universe Sandbox - Space sim had potential to be interesting but ultimately its a glorified webtoy.
• Knights of Pen and Paper +1 - A sim of a different color. It feels like a shoddy port and is not suitable for the PC due to sheer repetition.
• Wanderlust: Rebirth - I just can't play it. Too frustrating, too clunky... Maybe the sequel is better, maybe not.
• The entire Sam & Max bundle - 1) It clogs up space in my library with each and every episode listed. 2) Its not as enjoyable as the original Sam & Max was.
• 1...2...3...KICK IT!, AaAaAA!!!, AaaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!, BIT.TRIP BEAT and BIT.TRIP RUNNER. - I have no fun playing these. At all.
• The Valve Bundle - Sure I got a lot of games for the price of one or two when it was on sale, but I barely play half of the games. I wonder whether it was worth it.

X:Reunion in recent times. I preordered based on my extremely positive experiences with every single previous game in the series.

Eggsoft really should have been upfront and told us that Reunion would be NOTHING like them. Also bugged beyond playable at release.

<------ I Regret Nothing

I only buy good games that I cracked a long time ago and forgot everything about it, I also watch a LOT of gameplay before buying a game

Though I do have a lot of useless games, they were
Free from indiegala, pc gamer,etc

Audiosurf 2.. I played it long ago and uninstalled it directly a few minutes i tried it.. i mean i know it is under development but the UI definitely sucked as a starter..

I really enjoyed the first one and been running it on auto-pilot to play songs

The Total War series. All of them. I keep thinking "these games should be for me", so I keep buying them, and I keep not enjoying them. They are just so repetitive, and the AI shudders The AI is terrible. Had they fixed the AI, and given the battles a bit more variety, I think I would love the games. But as it stands, I just don't like them, and yet I've bought all of them (except for Rome 2).

payday2 ...it becoming boring after a time

Alone in the Dark 2008.

Humanity Asset and Starseed Pilgrim was the greatest disappointment. They were all from bundles, so no monetary loss, but they couldn't live up to my minimal expectations. Humanity Asset in fact is maybe the worst game I've ever played.

I'm gonna be honest and say that I really regret buying Skyrim: LE. I'm serious. The atmosphere didn't hit me even once, and the whole games (for me) was kinda boring. Also bugged as eff. I think that The Witcher 2 is waaaaaayyyyy better than TES V (even w/out open world, etc).

Brink

Homefront (poor gameplay, worse ai)
Darksiders (it may be a very good game, but I just couldn't get into it)
Medal of Honor (overhyped at the time and I think they included beta access to one of the battlefield games)
Vampire: The Masquerade (couldn't get it to run smoothly)

DayZ actually..

Borederlands 2.

I'm going to take a ton of crap for this, but Deus Ex: GOTY has aged absolutely terribly and if you're just picking it up now it's going to feel horrifically dated and simply sub-par in almost any meaningful way.

I realize it's one of those Sacred Cows if you played it from when it was new. But only coming to it many years later? Sorry, it's not for me.

Gunman Clive. Man, that game is really bad

XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

Rust, Pixel Piracy, Magicite.. these ones come to mind, though I'm sure I could come up with 50 more easily.

Definitively Skyrim, it's just not my type of game, people just seem to love it so I decided to give the game a try, I just don't like that feeling of mindlessly walking for miles and miles upon end to find places, the main story is boring as hell, the side quests and going to caves and beating baddies was quite fun though and I enjoyed it a lot. The other thing is that it's as simple as it is not a true RPG game, its more or less a dungeon crawler with small elements of RPG injected into it. I would've been really mad if I bought it at full price, lucky me I only bought it for $7.50

Legendary was also another game that I regretted buying, the game looks really nice on paper, and when you watch gameplay it really looks like a nice game, it had mixed reviews so I decided to take a chance for the game. Pretty much it extremely closed world game, you HAVE to go down a very specific path. The game has invisible walls, and sometimes you have to wait a while before some events happen, oh well I only spent around a $1 for the game, but still the game was like piss in a bucket.

ORION: Dino Horde

It's not that I regret buying games as much as I regret not adding them to my backlog or inventory instead of waiting for lower prices. Probably the most regrettable is the Double Fine Bundle I paid $7.50 for and gifted after it was in a Humble bundle for $1.

Still not that big a deal really, but I have quite a few games I didn't play or hardly played which later became much cheaper.

Colin McRae Rally - from trade so I couldn't get my money back.

Terraria because I won a giveaway with it 5 minutes after buying it...
