Worst Gaming Buys

Let me throw in Animal Crossing for the DS into the list as well. :monster:

Now, I don't know about any of you, but this has to be one of the greatest sources of unimaginable boredom I have ever had. What is it exactly that I am supposed to do here? I've collected shells, I've pulled out some weed, I caught the few fishes and insects, I've been nagged at enough times by that bastard of a mole. Where is actually the fun in this? I've seen so much praise for this 'game' and when I bought it a few years ago, I expected something great from it as well.

Uhh....as if. It eludes me how anyone can be addicted to this at all. I was bored after ten minutes - much of it talking to a badger-like guy who is always charging ridiculous amounts of money just for my house. I haven't touched the game for ages now and the town has probably grown a whole rainforest of weeds by now. Maybe AC just isn't for me, and I respect that. I just wish I didn't buy the thing for anything more than £20. D=
 
Koudelka (Playstation) - Only played an hour into it. I even gave it a chance twice after a few weeks, but this game is just plain horrible, not to mention boring.

Orphen: Scion of Sorcery (PS2) - It was okay, but I couldn't finish the game after a couple hours of gameplay. Battle system sucked and although I like the anime cutscenes, story and gameplay bored me to death quickly.

Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (Gamecube) - It's cute and all, but generally I hate games where there's no real hero/heroine and you'd have to create your own character for an RPG game. It just doesn't appeal. Couldn't finish the game as well.

Dragon Quest IV (DS) - See above. Played 15 minutes, and never bothered to play it again. >.>
 
I know that a lot of people like this game so I'm sorry but...

The first thing that comes to mind has to be Persona 4. I've tried to start this game twice now, and both times have been turned off by how wacky it is. :( I really wanted to like it, but I hate the overall style. >_<

I was also quite unhappy with most of the games I purchased to play on my Wii, these being nIghts, Sonic and the Secret Rings, Mario Galaxy (again, everyone seems to love it but I just couldn't...) and The Legend of Spyro: The Eternal Night.

Oh gosh. THAT has to have been the WORST purchase. Not only was it a terrible game with impossible controls, ugly characters, a terrible script and a linear world, but it proved to me me that a new company HAD damaged this old classic.
 
FFTA: I loved the original FFT. I had been hoping that FFTA would be just as good. In truth, FFTA ruined everything that was so good about FFT. Hardly any special/secret characters worth even mentioning. The law/antilaw system was a waste of memory and essentially the game trolling you half the time. The races really brought nothing new to the table and only served to split up the classes so you were left with sub-par characters. The way you learned abilities also went to shit, the job point system made it much more fun to earn them and was also more manipulative, rewarding you for creativity, like smacking your neighbor in the back with your staff for a few dozen extra exp and jp; in FFTA, it takes about 50 battles just to learn one little 200 point p.o.s ability. And lets not forget Mewt, the character I hate most in all the FF games. Ffs, this kid looks like he just dropped out of fucking candyland with that weird ass hair that compares to Seymour in its stupidity and unbelieveability. And he's this whiny little bitch the entire goddamn game; if you ever thought Squall was whiny, lets go play FFTA and you'll find that Squall is no longer (if he ever was) in that position.

By extension, FFXII is also a shit game, simply because it stems from FFTA. Same world, same shit races, same style of play (fucking marks), and at least one of the same characters. I made it to the second mark before I said fuck it, put it back in its case and now i dont know where it's gathering dust.

Kingdom Hearts: Just could not get into the game at all. It was bearable unless the smile scene just before they board the gummi ship. That scared the shit out of me and that was followed by me getting a bit pissed off at the stupidity of it. Pair that with me having found the manga at a used bookstore later on and finding that scene where it was even worse, I just completely lost the will to play after that. I think I'm dicking around in athena or whatever Hercules' place is at....
 
WoTL was a stupid move as I bought it, didnt have a PSP, Bought a psp, played it for about 5 minutes and absolutely hated it....

Oh gosh yes, TA was AWFUL! I ended up getting rid of that pretty quickly. :wacky: The characters really didn't appeal to me and neither did the gameplay... I've yet to get into the Tactics gameplay, but at least with Tactics I have some sort of incentive to try...

I was pretty disappointed with the DS Pirates of the Caribbean game, too! Yes, I bought this... No, I don't like those repetitive hack and slash games... I managed to exchange it for Mario Kart. :) Which I made the mistake of trading in for something else... I miss Mario Kart. :(
 
I've probably done this tonnes of times but the only time i can remember which happened recently was when I bought Kirby's Epic Yarn.

I should have known it would be shit just by the use of the word 'Epic' in the title. Epic never ever means EPIC. It also got tonnes of great reviews so I thought, ehh why not, I like kiddie games, it looks innocent and fun.

Well it turned my brain to mush the second I put the disk in with its pathetic tunes and patch work artwork. The fact that you can't die angers me to no end. You just drop some colourful shit that you collect again anyway and go on your merry way, turn into a little car or a spaceship or whatever.

Anyway, I hated it to death, I wanted to snap the disk but it was still very new so I decided to return it for my money instead.
 
The Simpsons Game on the PSP is my worst purchase ever. It's so boring, gameplay isn't that good, the graphics are horrible, the plot is crap, and it's fucking short. Also hardly any replay value.

MOAR INFIDELS :srsly:

My latest blunder would have to be Dragon Age: Origins, though. I don't know why so many people say it's good, the game barely manages to function properly half the time.

It may have been fun from a role-playing perspective or good as far as the story goes... But imo, if you want to tell a story, write a novel. :wacky:
 
Eh, I've not played WotL yet seeing as I still have the original for the playstation. I know they made it harder though but they added in a few things. It's one of my to get games. That being said, I think I can make just as stupidly broken character on it.

I already went on about FFXII too...

I may have to look at my collection for other games.
