I regret nothing!
Except maybe I-fluid. But it was only a buck twenty five.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed
I didn't even bother to check the system requirements, but it runs horrible on my laptop. Who would have guessed an XBLA game would be such a hog. The game is kind of boring too, except when there's no enemies around and I can just swing for fun.
Definitely would not recommend MP for people right out of the gate.

I thought Terraria was a much better experience in SP. Maybe if you started up a shared world with a few friends at the same time it was be just as good, but jumping into an established MP world kind of sucks. Most of the time everything is already built or mined, and people are just swinging around like psychos killing everything.speedpop said:

I did update it with that tool. It's stupid and crazy that they're still using this archaic thing to moderate their games, but at least it's not hard to do. I was able to play for like 30-40 minutes afterwards, and then it dropped again (though I can't recall the error). I don't think it's a ping issue (I already entered the launch command related to ping update), and no other game gives me this kind of trouble. I understand that BFBC2 is probably pushing way more through a network than TF2, but it's hard to put up with this kind of thing after years of near-flawless online in Valve games.
Oblivion: GOTY. Got it for $8.50 thinking "hey, I played it on 360 before. This way I can mod the shit out of it and it'll be good". Now with everything else I got, my existing Steam backlog, and my existing consoel back log I'm pretty sure I'll never actually do it.
Kinda bummed on grabbing Shogun 2 at $29.99 actually. I'm a huge Total War fan but my current laptop is getting long in the tooth. Asked my brother who's got Shogun 2 and he said if I could run Medieval II at full with my lappy then I could run Shogun 2 the same. Every time I listen to him I get burned in some way. The dumbass. That did not seem to be the case and it was totally unresponsive when I tried to run it. Getting a new gaming oriented lappy in the fall and now I'm thinking maybe I should've waited for the Christmas sale and gotten it for less. But whatever, I know I'll love it so maybe I'll just play it on the gaming desktop when I'm home. Unfortunately I travel ~50% of the time for work so a lot of my gaming is laptop based.

Thanks, probably what I'll end up doing.

It's a fantastic game without a doubt, and when I can get it to work it truly is some of the most unique gameplay I've seen in awhile. Problem is it's co-op is basically required to enjoy the game, and the only way me and my friends can play is via online which is prone to constant crashing and bizarre latency problems despite low pings.
Basically it's fun, but bugged out the ass.

I regret nothing I purchased.
So how about games that I regret NOT purchasing?
That will be:
Amnesia.
Universe Sandbox.
Sam & Max complete pack.
That doubt...

I regret being forced at the very end of that particular sale to grab Fable III by my partner. I won't ever play it, and the only reason she wanted me to get it was the ability to co-op. Little did I know that co-op is a complete mess in the game. Oh well~
Good idea. Multiplayer rocks if you start a world together. Multiplayer might suck if you enter a pre-done world already.sixghost said:

seriously, if there is something u dislike about oblivion, 99% chance there is a mod thatll fix it for you. one of the reason i love bethesdas modding community
Neverwinter Nights 2. I only booted it up for a few minutes to see how it would run on my rig and immediately hated the art style. From the pictures and the videos, it seemed OK, but now I regret buying it. That could change when I actually give the game a chance though.
I regret not buying Frozen Synapse. Actually, if anyone has an extra copy, I could trade Super Meat Boy for it. PM me if anyone is interested.

Sims 3 Complete Pack
Bought it in a moment of weakness since I loved the original Sims and never tried the second one - what a crushing disappointment. The controls are irritating, the interface is cluttered and the music is bland, however the worse offender is the gameplay. Instead of actually expanding the game in ways that would make sense (weather, seasons, pets) they've focused on completely useless fluff like vampires.
Honestly it feels exactly the same as Sims 1 with more up to date (but probably not better) visuals and a lot of rubbish tacked on.

Borderlands - First I had a hard time even starting the game. All settings was at the lowest so I had to go through all the settings.
Then I started the game and it started with the annoying "learn to move and push buttons" tutorials. And after I took the first shot... I noticed aim assist... on a PC game. wth is this!?!. Haven't played the game sinced then... and never will.

It's supposed to be an FPS/RPG from what I understand, so that would be your explanation...

NWN2 gets better once you get past the slow-as-molasses initial chapter. It makes things interesting by introducing Stronghold management midway through the game. I thought it was ultimately a solid WRPG similar to DA:O, but nothing more.
The real star of the NWN2 games is Mask of the Betrayer. There are a few instances where one can benefit on having played NWN2 before. If you're still unable to stand NWN2 after a few hours into Chapter 2, I'd suggest skipping ahead to the expansion.

Thanks guys, the patches have encouraged me to give the game another try. I am assuming they work with the Steam version?
I actually don't regret a single purchase. I've been pleasantly surprised with the quality of some of the games, especially Darksiders. AaaaaAAaaaAAAaa (love copy/paste) was another surprise... I thought I'd hate the game, and I don't. Also, I never heard of Eschalon before, and while I only played the demo, I came away really impressed.
So yea, I had a lot of restraint this year and picked a lot of the stuff that I knew I wanted.
My list:
Dawn of War II: Retribution
AaaaaAAaaaAAAaa
Eschalon Book 1
Eschalon Book 2
Sanctum
STALKER: CoP
Wings of Prey: Wings of the Luftwaffe
Fortix 2
Fallout NV: Honest Hears
Alpha Protocol
Frozen Synapse
Assassin's Creed II
HOARD
Darksiders

I regretted buying "The Final Hours of Portal 2" because i thought i was a video documentary but instead it was an interactive magazine, but after a while i thought it was great. very interesting i would reccomend, it was like £1 for me

Not to bust your balls or anything, but how would you know? It sounds like you played it for 10 minutes, and gave up. Now there's plenty of flaws with Borderlands, but I would give it a second and more serious shot. Try to play with friends if possible.
From the sounds of it, you didn't want to like the game in the first place.
Yeah, probably going to be in the same situation there. Or it'll be a more standard regret in that I won't have the nerve to go past a half hour, ever.MikeDub said:
Regrets? Not very serious ones, but Tropico 3: Absolute Power (not sure when I'd even get to this) and getting Magicka earlier from Amazon since the complete collection was roughly a buck cheaper, at least I got the Wizard Survival Kit free from them. Well, I think Hitman: Blood Money would be more comfortable for me on a controller, but that might be fixed with a little key remapping. I haven't tried my biggest purchase yet, Back to the Future, but I've generally liked Telltale games so it shouldn't become a regret.
