Bought King Arthur. Regretted it the next day when I realised the game I wanted to buy was actually King's Bounty.

:lol

I got king arthur for 20... :'(

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Wish I couldve got NWN2 and City Life 2011. Just ran out of dosh and didnt want to break the budget

 

[Zombie James]

Mods, son.

That does look damn nice. Which mods are you running? My issue(s) with Oblivion aren't really to do with the visuals, though.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Magicka is my only regret as it won't run on my laptop. Where as I purchased NWN2 and X3: Terran conflict expecting them not to work for when I upgrade yet they work fine.

 

[Dead Prince]

Rush - only really bought it for the ticket. game is shit and boring. then again I didn't like toki tori.

 

[Card Boy]

I don't have any purchase regrets per say. But i regret not buying Frozen Synapse, If only they sold single copies i would of bought it.

I don't buy the whole "your getting a copy for free" argument, if anything they are charging you for 2 copies.

 

[hawkshockey11]

I regret the only game I bought:

Tropico 3/ absolute power

I liked the 2d Tropico 1 better and it doesn't really run on my laptop very well

 

[elektrixx]

When the Quake Pack went on sale I decided I wanted the Doom Pack too but missed out.

To fix this I decided I wanted to buy the id Pack and gift the Quake games but Steam doesn't give you extra copies!

From now on it's full publisher packs or nothing. I've got a mess of Valve games I want but have ended up spending more money by getting everything slowly and separately.

I REGRET NOTHING

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

DAMMIT

Weren't you broke already???

 

[Chiaroscuro]

I regret buying Lead and Gold because I don't have any friends to play it with and most servers suck, and Toki Tori because it's boring as fuck.

I agree with Lead and Gold. Toki Tori I have since launch and it is an amazing game if you like to think hard.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Nothing. This sale I was more frugal than previous ones, and got games I'm certain I'll enjoy...whenever the hell I get around to play them. :|

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

I imagine this thread will have more actual regretted purchases once people have had more time to actually play their games.

 

[TheShampion]

Witcher 2

Don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic game. It is also the game that made me realize I need a new computer. It is barely playable with the frame rate chugging along, but I liked it so much that I managed to play for 3 and a half hours before I just couldn't take it anymore. What really sealed the deal is when I opened up the special edition and saw how good the game could look in the screen shots. It is a goddamn shame.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I regretted Hot Pursuit until I played multiplayer.

Goddamn amazing.

 

[Truespeed]

Ah, here's the thread I was looking for to vent in. I'm really disappointed I let Transformers 3 WFC slide without so much as a hover over the buy button. WTF was I thinking that day.

 

[MegaKungFuRadio]

Oh, and I regret looking at Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition at $26, thinking about it, and deciding not to buy it. I knew it was a price glitch, too, unlike some people who foolishly thought it was intentional. Part of the reason I quickly pounced on Dawn of War II: Retribution this morning. Fair chance I end up regretting that, too.

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

Audiosurf is horrible. I bought it after enjoying Beat Hazard so much, but it's seriously not even worth the $2 I spent on it.

I also regret buying BFBC2. It's just as bad as COD in terms of guys hiding in corners and killing you before you can turn around in straight deathmatch. I also don't find the big team objective games that fun, lots of cheap deaths and waiting to respawn.

 

[kiunchbb]

See, I tried it years before and immediately felt that it didn't like up to how people were hyping it, but hey, STEAM SALE = CHEAP so I thought I'd give it another try.

...damn it

Get mods, lots of it.

 

[spootime]

Regretting buying Amnesia for 10 bucks. I get a game is currently unavailable and neither steam forums or developer forums have helped me. Gonna have to contact steam support and ask for a refund

What's wrong with the game?

 

[Meier]

Here are my purchases.. no regrets thus far but I haven't played everything yet of course. Really enjoyed my time with Recettear and Defense Grid thus far and have a bit of a love-hate relationship with Football Manager. I picked up Railroads again on a whim since I no longer have it.. I hope it works okay with Windows 7.

[Deleted member 17706]

:lol

I got king arthur for 20... :'(

Shit, I bought it at release because it looked cool. I still haven't finished the first mission. The game really doesn't teach the player how to play at all, if I remember correctly. I've found a new love for Paradox games, though, so I should really go back and play it some time.

 

[Stallion Free]

Audiosurf is horrible. I bought it after enjoying Beat Hazard so much, but it's seriously not even worth the $2 I spent on it.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Gif

Lol.

To be honest, I didn't like Audiosurf either. And I bought it at a $9.95 price back in 2008. It's probably my fault, but somehow I fail to see an actual connection between gameplay and music.

There was a demo for the game before it came out.

 

[Callibretto]

Terraria

I just bought terraria yesterday and it really need a community to shine because the game don't explain things to you. just read terrario ot and learn some basics and the game become much more enjoyable.

 

[Salsa]

Weren't you broke already???

shut up ;_;

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

It's not horrible but I agree that Beat Hazard is a much much better 'game'.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

There was a demo for the game before it came out.

I was...less informed back then. And less inquisitive.

At any rate, I'm glad I supported the developer. But I keep the game away in its own special category.

 

[bobbytkc]

I regret the only game I bought:

Tropico 3/ absolute power

I liked the 2d Tropico 1 better and it doesn't really run on my laptop very well

I am no connoisseur of city builders, but I absolutely loved Tropico. It was the only game I've played since the start of the sale lol

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Bit.Trip. games tap dance, spit, and play baseball with my eyeballs. Wasted money right there.

 

[TUSR]

Its a shame that the XCOM games didn't get a sale this year. I always love to hear when people pick them up and say how they missed out on these gems.


But so far the only thing I got was a double dip, which was Bad Company 2...

 

[unpurposed]

Beat Hazard is horrible.

.

Fixed that for you. Tried playing Beat Hazard, after loving Audiosurf, and thought it was absolutely terrible. Thank god I only played the demo and didn't buy the game.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I regret Terraria. $2.50 on something I could have bought that was better.

You can go to hell.

 

[Ifrit]

I regret nothing

Steam is too overloaded to process your request. Try again.

 

[gdt]

Bit.Trip. games tap dance, spit, and play baseball with my eyeballs. Wasted money right there.

Bit.Trip.Beat was too much at 2.50, especially for such a shallow game. It's fun, though. But won't really have longevity with me. It's also hard as dick balls, even on easy.

.Runner is a platformer though? Here's hoping that's worth it.

Shakin' my head again.

I don't understand how two of the greatest Indie games ever have such strong hate.

 

[Eusis]

I don't understand how two of the greatest Indie games ever have such strong hate.

Well, it's at least easy to see for the one that could cause seizures in anyone susceptible to them.

 

[Narag]

Maybe it's their choice of music?

Runner is hard as dick balls, too. But it's a fun musical platformer.

 

[PBalfredo]

I regret not buying Hoard when it was on the daily deals. But I picked it up today and already put three hours into it. Great game.

 

[Snuggles]

I am enjoying Beat Hazard a lot right now. If I couldn't use my own music, it wouldn't be the same, but it's a great interactive visualizer.

it's so good with The Avalanches - Since I Left You

also, 200% visuals is the only way to play

It must be.

YES!

 

[Tomat]

Bought all four Guild Wars games, not really sure if I regret it yet. I haven't put any time into the game yet so Im not even sure if I like it or not.

Really hoping to find some Gaffers that play, none of my friends even play PC games...

 

[echoshifting]

I completely regret antagonizing gaf chat and earning myself a copy of gumboy.

edit: Beat Hazard hate is proof that gaf is capable of hating anything, even pure joy.

 

[Arkaerial]

If it's not modded then you're doing it wrong.

My regret is The Last Remnant.

 

[Karram]

I regret nothing, since I haven't played any of them.
