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.

The plot wasn't anything special but the gameplay was a spectacular marriage of the eerie atmospheric Classic Resident Evil and the fluid action of Resident Evil 4. Revelations seems to have become a hybrid series to please fans whereas the numerical games try different things.
 
GAF recommended Tokyo Jungle. Picked it up for $1 during a summer sale. Figured I couldn't lose. I was wrong. I lost a dollar and about an hour of my time, which is worth a lot more than a dollar.

edit: Forgot it was supposed to be full price. I'm a dumbass.

Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

I returned it 3 days after purchase. What a complete turd, after being a huge CoD1 and 2 player I was hyped beyond belief as a kid who just got his 360. What a total let down. The multiplayer was a lag fest and the Veteran difficulty was literally impossible unless you had sheer luck. Multiplayer being the biggest let down.

The only Call of Duty game in the entire series that I didn't play at launch. I feel blessed.

I'm glad you liked it. It wasn't my thing.

EDIT: I also bought Spore for Mac at full price.

I genuinely didn't even know a Dino Crisis 3 existed, even though I loved the second one. Wow.

I don't know if it qualifies as "shitty" but my biggest disappointment I can remember is easily FFXIII on launch day. Hated it.

It jumped the shark beyond anything that's happened in RE. DC2 if you remember ends with one helluva cliffhanger, and this game has nothing to do with any of it.

Arcadey gameplay. Terrible camera angles that don't fit the movement or play space. The dinosaurs
aren't even dinosaurs. They are the ship's crew after the ship's A.I. goes predictably crazy.
and are not enjoyable to fight. Incredibly short with little or no replay value. Nothing to do with either Dino Crisis 1 or 2, except a throw-away mention of Third Energy iirc.

Hell, Gun Survivor 3 (aka Dino Stalker) is a better Dino Crisis game than Dino Crisis 3. Where's Jawmuncher? Need a good Dino Crisis rant from Jawmuncher.
 
The Moon Project, which I knew to be a bland piece of turd within minutes of playing, but because my father gifted it to me when I looked at it in the store I was too much of a wimp to tell him the game sucks and that we should return it.

I decided to keep it and remind myself not to randomly buy games like that anymore.

Didn't stop me from buying Spore and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles full price.
 
FF13 and FF13-2.

In my defense I liked them well enough playing them through the first time. I'll probably never touch them again, however.

The fucking trailer got me so hyped at E3. Wada being on board made me ecstatic. Then, the game came out, and I tethered my university's internet (802.11x auth not compatible with 3DS) via VirtualRouter on my laptop so I could download it while in my Theories of International Relations class, so I could start playing it on the bus ride home.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. The game does have some charm, but it's so unbelievably tedious, shallow, and repetitive. I fucking hated it. Haven't ever finished it and am not sure I ever will.

How could you do this, Wada. HOW.

Saved up $60 when I was a kid to buy Zelda: Link to the Past. They didn't have it at the very first store we checked, so instead I shrugged and bought, apparently, the first thing I saw:

I have no memory now of why I would have possibly wanted this game, but there went my $60.

Weird. I really liked this game as a kid. I don't think it's bad at all.

Bullet Witch! Horrible game. But I love it. I beat that game like it owed me money. Three playthroughs, and I enjoyed every minute of that hot piece of garbage.
 
Don't ask. I was thinking it would have been a game full of pedestrian traffic that would make the races more competitive - which it didn't.

We all have at least one game in our collection that makes us feel completely idiotic for having bought at full price. Let's name them.

I guess I'll start this thread off with a true stinker:



Not only did I buy Duke Nukem Forever on day 1, but I got the Balls of Steel edition for $100, with the Duke Nukem bust and the artbook and everything.

I don't fucking know man. I guess I was still holding out hope that DNF would somehow be an awesome game, because how hilarious would that be?! Surely, I thought, this would be a legendary release even decades from now, no matter how good it was.

sigh.

This may or may not incite some defense posts, but:

I actually preordered it and paid for expedited shipping.

In my defense, I was expecting it to live up to Mass Effect. I was very, very wrong.

Came to post this. I learned to tolerate Mass Effect 2 for what it is, but god was it a disappointment after Mass Effect 1 and hated myself for preordering the digital deluxe edition.

Aside of that, Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix, Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life, Mafia 2, Rock of Ages, Forza Motorsport 3, Gran Turismo 5, and most recently, Pokémon Y on the 3DS.
 
I forgot about this game but it's probably the worst NES game I ever purchased:

Was such a letdown after playing the arcade game.

I haven't seen a laziest port of games that this god-awful collection.

Considering that this is a middle market game, I didn't think it was bad at all, sure some of the levels were pretty bland, but I liken this game to Velvet Assassin. Low rent charm.

I was so hyped for this after KOTOR I went and got the special edition. I couldn't even get myself to finish it and ended up trading it in for something else.
Wasn't until much later (like a couple years ago) that I tried it again (bought off ebay for 5 bucks) and started liking it.

That sounds absolutely awful in pretty much every way possible. I'm glad I never heard of it (somehow) as I had an OG Xbox too, so would of bought it for sure.

I know I could Google it in 2 seconds, but did Shinji Mikami have any involvement? Surely not.
 
Though it was below the cost of a triple A title to begin with, I can't believe I spent close to 20$ on Amnesia a Machine for Pigs. Such fucking trash, probably the single worst gaming experience I have ever had. It was a painful slog to get through its 3 horrible, god forsaken hours. Fuck that game
