Bioshock Infinite, because of the tiresome writing and story that deeply offended my intelligence. At least I didn't pay $60 for it.

Halo Reach. Preordered the Legendary edition and got it home after the midnight release, beat it after about six or seven hours, and sold it the next day. It was a terrible game and not much fun. Yes I know I said I beat it, and why would I take the time to do that if I didn't like it? Simple, I don't like leaving games unfinished unless they are downright unplayable. I just regret paying over a hundred bucks for that waste of time.

Diablo III... I bought while working in Korea, and unfortunately, even though most versions have a language option, the Korean version doesn't.
Blizzard categorically refused to help, first knowingly giving bad advice (such as try to take it back to the store) and then telling me that since they "answered my question", they would simply close any further tickets on the issue.

Seriously no Don't Starve? I even forgot the game's title because I never ever involved with it anymore.
Just personal preference, I really don't like a pointless game. Your main objective is survive. Nothing else. Sure you could do some interesting things while surviving but really, thats the main and only thing that matters. I'd like to call that pointless.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah the 'just survive' bit at the beginning is actually a bit of a tutorial, where the point is to learn how to 'just survive'. You have to find Maxwell's door in your world to begin adventure mode (usually not too hard to find with some exploring)
And the point of it is because the adventure mode is even harder. I can get why people might not like the game though.

Not really. Excitement from having a good challenge is a good point for me. So are compelling stories, competitive multiplayer, etc.
Comment has been collapsed.
Interesting how you said the title of the game right before saying that you don't remember what the title is. You're a lunatic or a liar or both.
Also, if you can define the point of the game, it automatically has a point. You seem to have no idea what pointless means.
Comment has been collapsed.
Oh great, thanks for just defining me as a lunatic or a liar. Or even both. How about "I forgot, then I tried my hardest to remember and then I eventually remember it"? Mr. Genius.
And thats the problem. I can't even define the point of the game. It's just wasting time, for me. And that's what I call pointless. So I don't know what pointless means? I'm sorry again, Mr. oh-so-Genius.
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah you pointed out that I'm a lunatic or a liar or both, just because I forgot, then I tried my hardest to remember and then I eventually remember it. How convenient. Anyways, this is internet, and I can't help that people like you always exist. Probably safer to ignore.
Oh, but you and the other guys who mentioned Adventure mode is right, though. I missed that feature because I played the game from launch and I didn't think it already existed that time. And thats why I dropped the game.

Well I bought CS:GO by mistake when it was on sale (17 Mai 2013 5,49€ Counter-Strike: Global Offensive). The funny story is that I got more money by playing it on steam cards "fieber" and cs:go items "fieber" (when crates were still 1.5$) and selling the items, than I payed for the game. Other than that, I like all the games I own (rpg / rts / tbs mostly).

I try really hard not to end up with these, but if you buy enough games its inevitable:
Nuclear Dawn - if you want a hybrid rts/fps, just buy Natural Selection 2
Bioshock - maybe I would've liked this series if I had bought and played it when it first came out. Now though? Bleh.
Sonic Generations - I got a key for a steal, but even so all this made me was miss 2D Sonic even more.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 - Fuck EA for ruining C&C.
Comment has been collapsed.
Hybrid RTS/FPS and you suggest Natural Selection 2?
How about Savage, Savage 2 or Tremulous? All of them are free and most likely better.
Comment has been collapsed.
I played a shitton of Tremulous, and honestly like it better than NS2. I bought NS2 to scratch my Tremulous itch actually. But NS2 is newer, is on steam, recently updated, fun, and actually has a decent amount of populated servers.
I'm not familiar with Savage, never even heard of it, but yes if you like RTS/FPS and you like free, check out Tremulous. The player base just isn't there anymore though, and last I heard there isn't going to be a Tremulous 2 :(
Comment has been collapsed.
Well, did you ever hear of a Natural Selection 2? ;P
I don't think I had until maybe a week before it came out.
Comment has been collapsed.
lol, yes actually. I should put it another way; unless some indie devs decide to pick it up themselves out of nowhere, it isn't going to happen. I'm not even sure how it work legally, since the first game is free and open-source.
Doesn't keep me from hoping though! Seriously, I was in one of the top clans in Tremulous for a while, I spent a lot of time in that game.

I played with all , when my computer not worked for a while i played with tremulos on my laptop and its fun i like the bulding system but the wall climbing in tremulos is terrible your screen is jumping , savage i hated this game because it's not a simply fps/rts u have skills and u need to use 1,2,3,4 terrible , overall natural selection 2 beat them

Borderlands 2... Twice.
First time: I had planned on waiting for a price drop, or a GotY or something. The game looked flashy, but it seemed as if they dumbed down the loot mechanics from the first game's very Diablo II like system, which was a big part of why I loved the first so much. However, a friend convinced me to buy it for full price so we could play on XBL. Not only was I just as disappointed as I thought I'd be (Good game? Sure. Great game? Maybe. As good as the first one? Hell no), but his wife ended up leaving him and taking his 360. We got to like level 17 together. Lol.
Second time: I am a console gamer through and through. Many games on PC I ultimately play with a 360 controller. That said, I'm a poor bastard and can't afford console games, so I often resort to PC games, which are more easily acquired for free (not necessarily piracy, but giveaways, trading, etc). Having played BL2 on the 360, I wanted to try the DLC, mainly to use new legendaries and raise my level cap, so I decided to get it on the PC, where I could easily buy both the game and the DLC with TF2 keys. I bought the game first, but ultimately I still haven't gotten the Season Pass because no one wants to sell it for less than 11 keys. So now I have a PC version of a game I already have (and prefer to play) on console.

lol@ wife thing.
If it's a bit reassurring, I asked my friend to buy Dead Island on Amazon for me. He also bought a copy for himself. They turned out to be region locked. I managed to trade a key for a gift from a nice American (who had won my giveaway, that's karma right there) while he simply bought himself a second copy doing nothing with the former. We started playing, he had issues cause of pc not being good enough... so he bought a PS3 copy.

Borderlands 2: It was a huge disappointment for me, some people say that it's the best game ever but for me it's just another disappointment. First of all: It's un-optimized for me as hell, getting blue screens of deaths from it randomly while I am supposed to meet the system requirements. Second of all: Am I the only one who pissing HATES Claptrap? He is the most annoying god damn video-character EVER! And since I get constant crashes, that should sum it up.
Under The Ocean: I never in my life saw such a messed up, senseless game ever. It looked fun as hell, then I started to play it and it just had no point, I can't craft, I can't do pretty much anything because all you do is run around allover the place on some island, collect some food and keep your character well-fed, sometimes even make a fire but other than that it's just plain boring and crafting didn't function to me even after collecting a thousand stuff. You can tell me the usual "You are stupid, you just didn't know how to" line, but to be honest: I don't care. If I can't figure it out by myself after 6 hours of gameplay, then f*ck that game.
Walking Dead: 400 days: Contains about 6-10 minutes of gameplay, being a complete senseless mess that rushes the introduction of each character. It sucked so bad in my opinion, that it made me lose my apetite for The Walking Dead as a whole. I might just won't play Season 2 because of it. Some of the characters are outright annoying and stupid anyway.
W40k: Space Marine: I love this game from the deepest parts of my heart, but I have to admit that I regret getting it greatly. Why? Because it's such an un-optimized piece of sh*t that it's annoying already. Every multiplayer game gets interrupted all the time by "Merging to a new host" occasional laggy people who suddenly teleport in front of you and you are dead, random slow-mo bugs and FPS issues. So as much as I want to love this game I simply can't and I just add it to the disappointment list.
I could go on forever to be honest, but these are the most mention worthy ones.

+1 for Borderlands 2. It needs to be about 20% cooler.
Comment has been collapsed.
Under the Ocean is still in early access alpha, so naturally it has problems. That said, I sorta agree with you... I feel like it has a lot of potential, but for now I'm just letting it sit in my library. I will say kudos to the developers though; they realized that the game isn't what they wanted it to be and now they're doing a complete revamp, which I think will pay off in the long run.

Didn't even beat Borderlands 2. The first was nice, it was new, Borderlands 2 just gets repetitive after a wall, even with friends.
Comment has been collapsed.
The humor for Borderlands 2, for the most part, just seemed like they took all the tasteless jokes that they already used in the first or had decided not to use and them crammed them in, taking out any element of the game that wasn't completely nonsensical out and trying to make the game a comedy when there really wasn't that much funny about the dialogue, which made me want to carve out my ears with a flaming spoon.

Why though?
Personally I got bored of the constant hack and smash, and sometimes ridiculously hard parts.

I liked the game... but I don't think they gave you enough ammo.. Sure you're supposed to be a Guerrilla, but so what? You gimme a machine gun I wanna be able to use it for a while.

I got that one free during a buy two get one free sale at Gamestop so meh. It wasn't great but I wouldn't consider myself "disappointed" because the Red Faction "series" was never that great in the first place. The original is the only game that was AWESOME.
Comment has been collapsed.
Bloody Good Time. I have no idea what possessed me to buy it.. Other than the fact that it was a steam sale.
It is kind of fun to a degree I guess.. but.. yea.. Not to mention the false positive that the game has with almost every anti-virus and maleware program in existence lol.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent. Played it in offline mode one of the times my internet went down. Not as scary as people claimed, and the game itself is for the most part fairly boring to me.
I have a few other games that could possibly end up on the list if I ever get around to playing them though..
edit
Frozen Synapse gets added to the list. ( Someones post made me remember it lol. ) Though I did not exactly pay for it as I got it during the steam coal/gift thing. I got it in trade for something if I remember correctly. Played it and did not like it as much as I thought I would after I had watched someone else play it. :( One day I might give it another try though and that might change my opinion.. till then...

Omerta City of Gangsters; Virtually no interaction on the main screen and possibly the least fun turn based combat I've ever played.

These are only the games I've bought via steam and are dissapointed at. I have probably 10-20 more, but they're from bundles and I didn't technically buy it for those games.
Max Payne
I'm sure it's a good game, but it's too outdated for me now. Clunky controls and terrible checkpoints/saves.
SEGA Genesis & Megadrive Classics
Same here with bad controls and a genereally slow emulator.
Delve Deeper
Simply a game I didn't like. I didn't understand it
Terraria
I just don't see the point of it at all.

Terraria was fun in the beginning. But there's only so much you can do in 2d. Where as Minecraft... started a castle 2 years ago with some friends, we're still finding something to improve or to add to it.

You can quicksave in Max Payne?
I played it for the first time via Steam a year or two ago and was also disappointed. Ended up quicksaving and loading constantly because popping round a corner could see you one shot killed by a standard henchman with a shotgun. It's very samey after a while too - there's only so many warehouses you can clear before it starts to get old.
Comment has been collapsed.
You might have to with Max Payne - it's my understanding that the difficulty gets adjusted on the fly depending on how well (or not) you're doing leading to situations like the one I described before. Die a few times to that henchman, reload, and next time you pop round that corner he misses from point blank range. Multiple times. I did a couple of quick searches on google to find out if the game was as hard as I thought it was or if I was simply just terrible at it. Found out that it was pretty much "Quicksave: The Game".

Unreal Tournament 3.
I love the Unreal series, and when I learned about that UT3 is coming out I was so excited, and when I saw the trailers, I've totally got a headplosion. However when I bought and tried it, I've been really upset. It wasn't like the older ones, nothing about the Tournament. The game itself would be still good under the name of Unreal, but since it's not about the championship, they shouldn't have called it Unreal Tournament 3, but rather just Unreal 3.

It's difficult to think of a game that beats Unreal 2K4 for FPS fun. Even single-player, that game kicked ass.

Saints Row IV
Pretty fucking average; the second half of the game is just painful. Should have been a standalone DLC, like Blood Dragon.

Watch OfficiallyNerdCubed's video of it... He explains that it WAS a DLC.

I know that it was a DLC.
Standalone DLC != DLC, btw.

Uhh... Alright... XD
But I mean like... they literally just re-released Saints Row 3 and added aliens and weird structures to the same city along with making it perma-night.

That's why it should have been a standalone DLC (like Blood Dragon) for $15.

I felt it had much more content and was freaking amazing. SR4 will still be overshadowed by GTA V but SR4 was freaking awesome.

Re-Skinned Saints Row 3 to make more money... Selling it for $20 more than SR3 The Full Package.

New story with over 20 hours worth. New super power mechanics. New textures, weapons, enemies, etc. It is worth 60. It is more then just skins.
