Shitty games that your dumb ass paid full price for

Yep... it came with the system through the amazon launch bundle... now it's too late to sell it. I couldn't get a can of beans for this crap.

Premium was a mistake for me, too, the map packs are literal ghost towns on PS4 if you want to play anything other than conquest/rush. Even then, there aren't many.

well i do only play conquest in bf games, the only mode i enjoy lol

however i did at least reached like lvl 50 something i think? but on COD i just played 3 matches, reached lvl 10 and i just lack the time or itch to play shooters right now. i liked both games though

edit: oh yes, one thing about this COD is that there isnt a single map i like. they are just from passable to shit sucks (i like to play quick matches with bots from time to time)
 
Some sort of shitty rugrats game for the n64. It was a mario party type game if I remember correctly. I was like 6 or 7.
 
Ultima IX ascension honestly can't remember much about it just remember hating it. Still have the cloth map I got free with it lol.

Die Hard vendetta on Gamecube enjoyed the PS1 die hard trilogy so I assumed this would be good or at least entertaining, had the weirdest aiming you either have to play with auto lock (like full on lock on not that aim assist stuff) or you could turn that off but aiming became impossible as the sensitivity was so high your reticule is flying from one side of the screen to the other.

There is lots more i'm sure but those stand out as most I paid for and how little entertainment I got out of them.
 
Diablo 3 PC. I wish I had waited for the Console versions that include the expansion, controller support, and is cheaper than the PC version+expansion (and much more likely to go on sale than Blizzard's digital PC store). And the loot was just so mediocre for the whole time I played it unless I used the auction house which took away what little feeling of accomplishment that game gives me. It's a fun game, and the expansion/patches seemed to fix a lot of it, but I'd much prefer to play with a controller.

I don't have either an XB1 or a PS4, but Diablo 3 is hilariously one of the few games I'd be excited to pick up once I do buy one of them.

Red Faction Armageddon. After falling in love with RF: Guerrilla, I was incredibly excited for this follow-up. Turns out they reduced the destruction to a much less important part of the game (actually making it a hindrance most of the time) and making the game a boring corridor shooter with annoying jumping alien enemies. Such a massive disappointment.

Dark Souls 2. The first game took me about 5 hours to finally click with me, but once I did I loved it pretty much the whole way through (excluding the Capra Demon), and I finished it just a few months before DS2 was set to come out so I was excited to be able to play a sequel so quickly. But once I started it, it just felt like a downgrade from DS1 in every way (every way I cared about anyways) except for graphics.

The weapons wore down way too fast, I couldn't level up at any bonfire anymore and had to return to the main town anytime I wanted to, and the constant lame bosses got on my nerves very quickly. I gave it about 7 hours and haven't been back since.

Thankfully I rarely ever buy games day-one or preorder anymore (and I'm much better at guessing if I'll enjoy a game or not ahead of time) so these examples are few and far between nowadays.
 
I bought Resident Evil: Revelations and Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil: Raccoon City.

I can forgive myself for Resident Evil 6 because I'm a fan of the series and love to play cooperatively with a friend. But I should have known the spinoffs wouldn't be any good or fun to play, even with multiplayer.

I love CTF, Chainlink was fun, etc. There isn't a single CTF server running anymore though, haha. I like the game too, just wish I wouldn't have purchased the premium cause the whole community is still on the base game.

COD: AW has been keeping me entertained. I play that now when I get an itch for FPS' cause the matches are pretty short and sweet.

Woah woah woah, Revelations was great IMO. Best game since 4
 
Evil Within. I don't care what Game Informer says, that was a total train wreck. Needed another 6 months of QA.
 
GTA 4.

I even got a 360 just so i can play this... it wasn't shitty but it was disappointing. The game crawled at sub 20fps most of the time and the lighting made my eyes tired, i could only enjoy it when it was night in game.
 
Bought Duke Nukem Forever day 1, still feel the burn.

My worst though has to be buying TWO copies of the Fable 3 Collector's Edition. All because I was too impatient to wait for it to be delivered in the post...

I'm not sure we're talking about the same game. This was for Xbox 360, and it had you running through different scenes with little or nothing in the way of plot to connect them.

I didn't bother to verify the names of the spinoffs, so that might be where the error lies.
 
Assassins creed 3.

The truck that delivered the copies to the shops was actually hijacked, and I would have probably been better off if I never gotten that replacement copy.......

I bought this instead of a Tony Hawk game for the DS that was hyped about for some reason. Not a wise decision.

And, not only did I bought but I also finished it. Mostly because I wanted to see how it would be when Kong was in New York. When I got to that part the game just gave me a cutscene and ended so I didn't even get to play in New York.

It's just a depressing story from beginning to end.
 
As a kid, I was huge wrestling fan. I would blindly buy all of the WWF and WCW N64 games. Then I bought this:

WCW%20Mayhem%20(U)%20[!].jpg


After that, I learned how to spend my money wisely.
 
Tons, but to limit it to just this generation:
- Driveclub (got a digital refund)
- Knack
- Second Son
- Halo MCC (got a digital refund)
- Watchdogs
- Killzone
- Destiny
- LBP3
- Ryse

I wasted a bunch of money last year just because I felt like I needed something to play on my new consoles. If only Minecraft and Diablo 3 were launch games, I would have been less inclined to take chances on those other games.

Lol, my brother back in the day wanted this game so bad, he had an "RPG phase" where he loved every single RPG, and I remember this was the only RPG on the N64 at that time (that we knew of). He was set and ready to ask for it for his birthday.

We never did this before, but for some reason he got a premonition that it might not be all that awesome, so we rented it first to try it out. My god what a gigantic, enormous piece of shit. We didn't have a Game Pak either so we couldn't save our progress. Every time we played it we had to play it from the beginning and leave the console running the whole day so we didn't lose our progress. I still remember us being pissed that there was no money system, you basically begged NPCs to give you shit for free, a coastal town where you could walk along the shore waters but somehow still managed to hear the "footseps on grass" sound effect and see clouds of dust coming out of the main character's shoes, a nonsensical and extremely simplistic combat system, etc.

I can't recall any other game we rented as a trial. Every other game we either bought outright or treated as a "rental" (back then we only got games for birthdays or christmas, so the games we got to own were very carefully picked by us).

£60 GBP for this, could of had the standard edition for £35 on launch. I thought no, I deserve this, I've waited a year for this, I should have the best.

I got unlockable gun codes that didnt unlock until level 50-odd out of 60 prestige, a couple of pointless weapon skins, the steelbook is shit and looks worse than the normal edition, it comes with a stupid cardboard wrap around. The special map cod (which I redeemed of course) turned out to be worth £20-£30 on ebay and I still couldnt even tell you which map it gave me, they all stink.

Game was a lag fest full of jumping fleas, an unbalanced boring futuristic fuck up with all the depth of a puddle. Last COD I ever buy up front.
