Have You Ever Bought A Game You Couldn't Play?

I can run anything.

Yes but that was on my old laptop but now my new one can play anything. =D

Bioshock almost but after many many attempts I finally got it working. Was very much worth all the trouble.

gta 4 on my laptop cd rom would not pick it up at all

One time, a long time ago. My father bought Command and Conquer: Generals and tried to run it on our old machine. It wouldn't even run. That's how I learned about hardware requirements heheh.

Yes. I have a few games on Steam that barely run (unplayable low FPS) on my desktop.

Rage. It has problems with laptops...

Rrrr, I pre-ordered HoMM 6 Retail CE but technically the game was supposed to work just fine with my system and it still should. But the game lags like hell so I'm still waiting for a patch after 8 months :|
And Shogun 2 on Steam but now the game works just fine on max except one graphical filter that is disabled by default (forgot what filter LOL). Also, I got Batman AC, it works on max settings except PhysX I had to keep on med to get somewhere around 40-50 FPS.

Yep, Mafia II i bought it on release but i didn't know my PC couldn't handle it.

Borderlands general protection fault anyone know a fix

RAGE, even though I can run it now, I still refuse to play that piece of garbage -_- it wasn't even my computer's specs that were the problem, it was the game itself, it wasn't stable at all.

Well, I got Disciples 2 as part of a recent Indie Gala bundle, and my computer can't seem to load the game. I'd assume it's because the game isn't meant for anything past XP

Regular games with discs, Star Trek Borg and Fallout 3 did not work. On Steam, Civilization 3.

Battlefield 3, couldn't play because it bored me and because of the bugs.

Resident Evil:ORC on release, never could find the time to play it. :C

Halo. My toaster wasn't good enough.

GTA 4, and Saints Row the Third. But i can play them now

EVERY GAME UNTIL 2009 MY PC COULD NOT RUN

nope

Orcs must DIE! (needs dual core)

Desert Storm. It was R16 and I was 9 XD. Didn't work on my win98

Nope. So far so good. :)

Starcraft when it came out....then Starcraft 2 when it came out XD

Messiah messed up for me when I first got it

The entire S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series fucks up my desktop, which is odd considering I paid more for my PC then my car. But for some damn reason every time I play any of those games my computer goes stupid. Last time I fried my video card and melted it into the motherboard.

It really hates that game. Which is sad because I enjoy it. =/
