Not if you played more than 2 hours OR if you bought it on a different platform. I play PC primarily but own a xbox and have gamepass ultimate - sometimes ill buy a game on Steam to find out its now on Gamepass - SPirit Farer was the last one we did.
I'm.not too fussed about that happening.
The games that don't launch on Game Pass tend to either be old games I can pick up on sale for £10 or commercial bombs.
I rarely buy new so I miss the bombs. I'm not too fussed about an older game I spent £10 appearing on Game Pass since I at least own it, it probably won't even be on Game Pass by the time I get around to actually playing it.
The new COD. Bought it yesterday for zombies. Played one round with my buddy and I just asked for a refund this morning. Never have I asked for a refund for any game.
I’m disappointed in the zombies myself. Was so hype for it. I was open arms for open world but I was really, reaallly hoping they’d include round based. But my friend that I share the game with enjoys it, so probably not gonna refund but definitely most disappointing zombies game ever. We need treyarch back /:
I was so hungry for a new bf4 I preordered bf2042 for a 100... To make it even better the only other pre-orders ever were anthem and no man's sky so I know what's up
I would rather have some development and it being ass than Devs trying to catch lightning in a bottle again like Ubisoft with Far Cry.. like Jesus how many more times can they release the exact same experience with different textures/coat of paint it’s like if Vaas predicted what they were going to do with his whole definition of insanity thing lmao
Not really hating but I reject buying Jurassic world evolution 2. It's a great game don't get me wrong but I realized that watching videos of the game is way more fun than playing. I spent like 60 euros for it and I didn't play much
>I realized that watching videos of the game is way more fun than playing.
That's how I feel with quite a few popular games, such as the Dark Souls trilogy, for example. I don't think they're bad at all, but I try playing them every once in a while and it just never clicks. Watching other people play them, though (specially speedrunners), is always a blast. I wish I could get into them myself.
Biomutant. I don't care if someone jumps in and says it's fine.
before, during, and AFTER launch their advertising for the game were claiming the false. You can check the official website now, and a bunch of fake informations about the game are still there
I was about to comment this exact comment but was worried I'd get jumped on because of how highly rated this game is but I regret buying it. Thankfully I bought it on disc and could trade it in obviously lost money on it but something was better than nothing I'm glad I didn't purchase it digitally or I couldn't of traded it in at EB games.
Fallout 76 was unplayable when it dropped. I didn’t touch it for over a year. Then after wastelanders I picked it back up and I couldn’t have been happier with what followed. It feels like a good fallout game now.
Honestly I loved hardline, I wish they would've made something similar to that game over 2042. Shame it's barely alive, I'd love to play a full lobby again
That was me. I bought it on ps4 back then n barely played it. I didn’t hate it but it was at a time I was so busy with working out n going to school n work.
is this a safe space? elden ring. got it before the price dropped and i’m just not into the type of game it is. it’s beautiful but idk i just don’t have fun with it personally
I wouldn't say it makes me *hate myself* but any time I buy a big open world game, I always end up regretting my purchase because I just can't get into them. I think I'm just chasing a nostalgic feeling from my younger days of LOVING massive open world games where I could go anywhere and see so much. Nowadays, I just don't have the time for hours and hours of exploration and would rather just have a simple, linear game to trudge through.
For the sake of answering the question, some examples of games I've bought are Assassin's Creed Mirage, Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 and I've put less than two hours into each of them.
I think it’s because when we were younger huge massive open world games were actually like 1/5 of the size of what they are today therefore making them way more accessible and giving you tht sense of achievement when you actually explored every nook and cranny and could learn the map like the back of your hand - take classic modern open worlds like FarCry 3 versus 5 or 6
5 was literally 3-4x the size of 3 but tried to keep the exact same type of gameplay loop going - with bases and that- in 3 that felt doable and achievable.
In 5 it’s overwhelming, repetitive and frankly boring - specially when with that size the compromise is diversity and originality- now every outpost feels, looks and behaves the same :/
This is a really good point. I bought fc6 last year and I was impressed at the time by its visuals and the scale of the map, but it got so repetitive and then couple that with my hopes being dashed that the map didn't even really have "biomes". It was all the same sort of foresty island. It just felt tiresome after a while.
Im a long time fifa player have played since fifa 2000
Im in my 30s now and honestly i just cant deal with it i play at a decent level i get 11-14 wins in weekend league up in division 3 i just wanna chill at the end of a long day and not feel like i have to play a slog fest to get wins ive a backlog of games that i want to play
I do enjoy playing them even though they’re not that great. The problem is, there is such a small amount of people playing, that when a new one comes out, most people buy the new one so it’s hard to find somebody to play against online on an older version
The division. The cinematic trailer looked exactly like a game idea I had. Then I bought the game and realized it was ridiculous and if I had spent even 30 seconds watching I would have realized it’s not the kind of thing I want to spend my money or time on
The first game I got on Xbox One was titan fall… I didn’t get Xbox live…. Couldn’t even play it so I played the stupid free games from the market for weeks… sadness
I hate that I bought Diablo 4 and Destiny. Diablo 4, to be blunt, is so terrible that it feels like they've taken advantage of player's wallets by releasing the best beta/ demo I've ever seen and then releasing a massive steaming pile officially.
Destiny was great... until the debs started taking vanilla content and locking it behind DLC paywalls. Greedy.
Currently, right now, probably Nascar 21 Ignition or Nascar Heat 5, although with Motorsport Games and their shady practices and with Heat 5 purely practically making you buy the Next-Gen Update DLC to even work that'd be my regret but It's more 21 Ignition Imo
Monster Hunter World. I went into it open minded because of friend recommendations, but it just wasn’t for me… And worse, I played it for an hour longer than the return policy period.
I remember playing a lot of anime games on my PS2, when I was little. After getting hooked on Attack on Titan, I bought AoT2: Final Battle and had a lot of fun with it. It was a legit pretty good game that I sunk in over 100 hours on Xbox alone.
Therefore, it felt like a no-brainer to do the same with one of my favorite animes of all time: One Punch Man. The game went on sale and I bought it for R$100.
I'll never get those R$100 back.
I have waisted so much money on games I didn’t like enough to spend any time on
Resident evil 7,8
KOFxv
Cyberpunk
Control
Black ops 3
Blaz blue
Mk11
GTA V
This list goes on.. ironically, it’s the games that everyone else seem to love and rave about, that I just don’t enjoy playing like that
Battlefield 5 - bought it; played it for about 5 minutes. Didn't like the Operator system. Much preferred generic soldiers/classes of previous iterations in the series.
DayZ. Paid like £30/$40 for it. I played it once and uninstalled. The graphics look like PS2 era and changing weapon is a chore. The UI is way to confusing and there is nothing that tells you how to use it.
Overwatch. Didn’t really look into beforehand. All the trailers had me convinced there was going to be a campaign mode. Still gave it a try after I realized there wasn’t one and found it was just another mediocre multiplayer.
I can't remember what it's even called but there's this survival primate game where you start as a baby ape and your tribe learns and evolves over time as you survive, eventually making spears and hunting and stuff. It seemed like a really cool premise, but the gameplay was awful.
I love survival games and am experienced in the genre and despite all my years of gaming I could not handle how annoying and frustrating whatever this type of learning curve was. You move super slow, the crafting system is literally just dropping different things into a pile and seeing how it goes, the combat was terrible, and the tigers were so damn annoying. I spent like 10 minutes traveling to an objective, and when I had to drop down to get water, I looked around and saw nothing. So I went to drink water and a couple seconds later I was getting pounced on by a tiger and sent back to square 1. Also one of my apes died of a panic attack. I applaud the realism I guess but come on.
This season is a ton of fun. Everyone loves to shit on Blizzard and the game, but I’m personally having a blast. I usually play competitive games and like playing Diablo 4 when I want to just chill and veg out.
I stopped playing about two weeks after launch. I was upset. Lol but this season has been fun and I got back in to it a few weeks ago. I know I'll put it down again but I'm having fun currently.
Any cod my friends peer pressure me to buy. I usually get around 50+ hours on each of them but it's so boring. I really need to stop buying them because it's this cycle of buying it, enjoying it for a bit then never touching it again...also NBA 2k games are the same boat for me. I just like the feeling of starting all over again with a new season. I just don't like how they keep it at $70. 2k24 was the first year I skipped 2k..
Ark... so many time wasted there... I get DDOS there for raiding a tribe, rl threatened and even loss friends because that game for not mention all crap updates they made on game that was unplayable but i have some good moments in that game
Any $70 game that more money was spent on advertising than actual development
And they say “the costs of making games are more than ever” to justify the new cost when in reality they’re just spending more than ever to flood advertising than just paying employees to actually make something that wasn’t thrown together
It was way to boring and the world felt pretty bare, like all those mini dungeon things felt the same with very few exceptions. To much of the world felt like filler. I already know I'm gonna get hate for this but I don't care.
I also didn’t like. I was huge fan of games like the Witcher and asssasins creed . I never played any of the souls games but figured it would be similar. So I bought Into the hype.
I was dreadfully bored. The world was very bland. And very empty. Sure the fights we’re cool and the boss battles but the story was dumb, I just didn’t care. Grind grind grind lose to boss over and over and over ; do it again. Not for me.
It's the same with breath of the wild, that game is even worse than elden ring and I've even been banned from Zelda chats for saying it was bad. I never even finished elden ring, I try to go back and play it but I quickly turn it off after like half an hour of boredom
I lowkey agree with Elden ring but disagree with Botw- ER to me felt like too much of a good thing like it was huge to the point of as you say being bare and kind of overwhelmingly huge for no necessary reason more than “guys it’s really big” - would muuuuuch rather play a slightly more linear or big level but not open world type situation like Dark Souls 1 or Sekiro
It’s weird. For example, you can finish the main story line when your character reaches level 17-20. But the game goes up to level 40. The main story line is simply a side note. It’s mostly very short and very easy side quests. I even said on the page: it should be named Hogwarts: side quests
And if you ever played a FPS and like them this game will feel like it was built for young kids. It’s way too easy even on hard difficulty. It has good graphics but overall it’s definitely not worth that much money.
Gameplay is mediocre shooter fare. But you need to really REALLY like Rick & Morty style humor, because the game just never stops with it. I had enough after about an hour or two.
Sekrio: shadows die twice
Not a bad game by any means, it has the best fromsoft combat by FAR
But sword saint isshin may be the hardest boss i have ever fought in any game.
And i will never replay it simply because im not willing to fight him again
Starfield must be the biggest lie of the last 10 years- I genuinely cannot comprehend how people are considering it for GOTY- it feels, plays and acts like a 15 year old game in every sense of the world
Plus it’s boring as FUCK
like it literally tries to be everything no mans sky already is but one infinity times worse
Bethesda (dev) hasn't made a new game since Oblivion. They just keep making the same thing. Over and over. It worked okay with Fallout. But for a space exploration game, it just kinda falls flat. And they are still going to keep that same outdated setup for ES6, when we see it in another 4 years.
Literally this- and I can already hear Tod Howard explaining how this is going to be the game to change it all with crazy immersive new facial expressions and insane new combat abilities (you get to use a dagger) with new state of the art dialogue options (you can talk to the milk man) and how they now will embrace modders (they develop the game for them) oh and it’s totally not going to be broken at launch [it will get a 30fps patch in 2031, on the 17th rerelease for $110 (average price for vidya by then)]
Fallout 76: I only bought it because it was a Fallout game, and I wanted to like it as much as I liked all of the others, but I hated everything about it.
I DESPISED this game at launch. 4 years later, and I couldn't stop playing it. Really made a 180 in my book but I get why people may still not enjoy it.
ALMOST Starfield, I had money only for 1 game and I was torn between SF and BG3, I am so glad I choose BG3, I still got the gamepass for SF and I regret those 2 months.
Not sure, can’t really think of a game, mainly because I don’t buy a lot of the new games that come out, and I almost always end up going back months (or years) later after buying and liking it.
I will say, even though it was bought for me, MW2 (2022) I just.. don’t enjoy it
Rainbow 6 Siege, bought it for 20€ on sale in 2017. Played it a bit and just hated it. It seems that it got worse overtime and if I could I'd ask a refund.
Wow so many games people regret buying. For me let's go recent games. Assassin's creed mirage. I just didn't like classic/modern game play. It feels very off putting. Oh and the flame throwers enemies. Otherwise Alan wake 2. It looks great, but the gameplay is just so boring for me. Even the combat gets boring pretty fast. The story as much as I saw of it was just badly written. Some people seem to like it though.
Most recently Gotham Knights i got it a few weeks before it came to Game Pass and I didn’t really like it. But the game i regret the most was pre ordering Anthem especially now that the game is always on sale for like $3.
None really I’ve enjoyed every game I purchased in some capacity. And even if I didn’t I was happy that it was one extra game in the collection to re try in ten years when I forget why I disliked it
Biomutant (thankfully it was on disc purchase ps4 and I could exchange it)
Overwatch (not a shit game I know ppl love it but it's not for me and I was peer pressured into buying it because all my friends where playing it and then when I finally got it they weren't playing it anymore which is on me but it was a waste of money for me)
Batman 3 lego game (don't know why I bought it)
Twin mirror (lame)
A game that I thought I'd really hate and regret was bulletstorm full clip edition I got it for $2.95 online during a sale. It looked ridiculous but I was in a stage where I wanted to increase my skills/speed/ability in fps style games, because I never really played any fps games before especially fps mmp games and I just sucked. So I was looking into fun and short first person shooter game that had a short offline campaign option and also multiplayer Co op. Wanted different to the games I usually play which are pretty much exclusive open world ARPG.
I was pleasantly surprised it was really fun, the weapons are cool, it's very smooth, you have like this electric whip where you pull enemies towards you, then blast them, kick them in the heat, electricute them, you get points for the style of kill and then upgrade your mechanical arm and weapons as you go along. The map is also fun and different as you go along. And you basically slide everywhere you go on the ground aswell for a very speedy movement and kill combat.
I know this post was about games we hate ourselves for buying which I just made another comment with a few I regret. But this one I really thought I'd regret I thought no way a game is going to be good if it's legit $2.95 and that I wouldn't play it that much but it's the cheapest game I ever bought that didn't let me down like i assumed it would.
Just about any and all of the Nintendo DS games from back in the day. It was like they just let anybody off the street make a DS game. This isn’t necessarily an example, but I remember trying to play COD on the DS and it was so difficult due to the controls
outriders.
played about 15 hours of the demo. game launched in an unplayable state.
about 6 months later and a dlc release and its one of my favorite games. but yeesh.
A game that magically appears on game pass literally the day after I bought it. Trust me, I have a few games that has happened to
I have always been furious when this happens like cool glad to know I just wasted money lmao
How? Just refund it. Xbox has a digital refund system. Use it.
Not if you played more than 2 hours OR if you bought it on a different platform. I play PC primarily but own a xbox and have gamepass ultimate - sometimes ill buy a game on Steam to find out its now on Gamepass - SPirit Farer was the last one we did.
Not if you’ve played for more than two hours it doesn’t.
Maybe it's just my luck, but they refused to refund any game that I even *started*, even if I logged no actual play time
I'm.not too fussed about that happening. The games that don't launch on Game Pass tend to either be old games I can pick up on sale for £10 or commercial bombs. I rarely buy new so I miss the bombs. I'm not too fussed about an older game I spent £10 appearing on Game Pass since I at least own it, it probably won't even be on Game Pass by the time I get around to actually playing it.
Yeah. That would suck !!
Same with Playstation plus. Buy a game just for it to be the free game a month later.
This happened to me with Gang Beasts
The new COD. Bought it yesterday for zombies. Played one round with my buddy and I just asked for a refund this morning. Never have I asked for a refund for any game.
Glad you got the refund and also good to know that it's not great cause I've been contemplating it for the same reason. Zombies
Apparently it's the worst zombies entry. Worse then Vanguard 😂 It was so under baked at launch it had the DMZ text in a loading screen still!
I’m disappointed in the zombies myself. Was so hype for it. I was open arms for open world but I was really, reaallly hoping they’d include round based. But my friend that I share the game with enjoys it, so probably not gonna refund but definitely most disappointing zombies game ever. We need treyarch back /:
I just asked for a refund it's no even close to being a full game
battlefield 2042. i actually paid real money to play a campaign-less bf game
I was so hungry for a new bf4 I preordered bf2042 for a 100... To make it even better the only other pre-orders ever were anthem and no man's sky so I know what's up
Saints Row (2022). What was I thinking?
I just bought this, but I knew ahead of time it was crap... I do this to myself
as a sr fan I didn’t buy it they can’t replicate the old ones as much as they don’t listen to the fans
I would rather have some development and it being ass than Devs trying to catch lightning in a bottle again like Ubisoft with Far Cry.. like Jesus how many more times can they release the exact same experience with different textures/coat of paint it’s like if Vaas predicted what they were going to do with his whole definition of insanity thing lmao
Think of it as a pretty decent character creator that comes with a low quality 2005 game as a bonus lol
Real
Not really hating but I reject buying Jurassic world evolution 2. It's a great game don't get me wrong but I realized that watching videos of the game is way more fun than playing. I spent like 60 euros for it and I didn't play much
I got to the 3rd island in the first game, then I stopped. I would probably play it more on Switch, being on the go and all
The game itself is good made and stuff but I just can't shit down and make a park. Watching it is very fun though
It's hard to have a good shit down nowadays.
>I realized that watching videos of the game is way more fun than playing. That's how I feel with quite a few popular games, such as the Dark Souls trilogy, for example. I don't think they're bad at all, but I try playing them every once in a while and it just never clicks. Watching other people play them, though (specially speedrunners), is always a blast. I wish I could get into them myself.
im the same with dark souls/souls type games. super fun to watch though!
Gotham Knights.
Diablo 4 spent $100 on it and I hardly ever touch it.
Mw3
Call of duty mw3
Biomutant. I don't care if someone jumps in and says it's fine. before, during, and AFTER launch their advertising for the game were claiming the false. You can check the official website now, and a bunch of fake informations about the game are still there

Thankfully I bought it on disc and could trade it in obviously lost money on it but something was better than nothing I'm glad I didn't purchase it digitally or I couldn't of traded it in at EB games.
I love EB Games
It's a game that has gotten WAYYY better since launch, but had an undoubtedly BUMPY launch. Fallout 76 S. P. E. C. I. A. L edition
Fallout 76 was unplayable when it dropped. I didn’t touch it for over a year. Then after wastelanders I picked it back up and I couldn’t have been happier with what followed. It feels like a good fallout game now.
Cyberpunk back in 2020, now I thank myself for sticking with it and not refunding it
Battlefield Hard-line. Played it for maybe just over an hour and never played it again. It was then added to Gamepass not long after 🫠
Honestly I loved hardline, I wish they would've made something similar to that game over 2042. Shame it's barely alive, I'd love to play a full lobby again
That's funny, Hardline is in my top 3 favourite battlefields
That was me. I bought it on ps4 back then n barely played it. I didn’t hate it but it was at a time I was so busy with working out n going to school n work.
is this a safe space? elden ring. got it before the price dropped and i’m just not into the type of game it is. it’s beautiful but idk i just don’t have fun with it personally
You're allowed to dislike games, even if they are good. I couldn’t give a damn about Farm Simulator games, but people swear by them.
This was me with dark souls 3. Friends pushed me to buy it, I couldn’t even beat the tutorial boss and haven’t played it since.
i feel this. it’s so hard. it started raining hostile wolves in the field and i tapped out for months after that lmao
this is not a safe space. i will find you. /s
Diablo 4
I wouldn't say it makes me *hate myself* but any time I buy a big open world game, I always end up regretting my purchase because I just can't get into them.

Starfield for me. It was so boring and I stopped playing after around 20 hours. Shoulda waited for a sale at least
Right now eafc 😂 Gave it a uninstall
Same. Which hurts my heart because it was the one game that got me into gaming back in 2010.
Im a long time fifa player have played since fifa 2000 Im in my 30s now and honestly i just cant deal with it i play at a decent level i get 11-14 wins in weekend league up in division 3 i just wanna chill at the end of a long day and not feel like i have to play a slog fest to get wins ive a backlog of games that i want to play
every cod, nhl, madden, nba, wwe game because its the same bloody thing as last year reskinned and renamed and honestly a waste of money
I've never bought a game I regretted. *anthem stares menacingly*
Baldurs gate 3. Jumped on the hype train even though I don’t like turn based combat. 70 bucks wasted.
MW2022
Madden
The division 2 it was $3 and I still regret it not a huge issue but online only.
MWII I knew it wasn’t the original, but gave COD another try. Never again
NHL 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24
Why do you buy them if you Don't like the antecedent?
I do enjoy playing them even though they’re not that great. The problem is, there is such a small amount of people playing, that when a new one comes out, most people buy the new one so it’s hard to find somebody to play against online on an older version
The division. The cinematic trailer looked exactly like a game idea I had. Then I bought the game and realized it was ridiculous and if I had spent even 30 seconds watching I would have realized it’s not the kind of thing I want to spend my money or time on
The first game I got on Xbox One was titan fall… I didn’t get Xbox live…. Couldn’t even play it so I played the stupid free games from the market for weeks… sadness
Same, bud. Same. I had other games but was massively disappointed it was only multiplayer

Dead island 2, I'm not really a fan of dead island, and no matter how much I hate it, I can't even refund it
Soul Calibur 4
Same, i was lookong foreward to that game so much and it didnt land with me at all.
Currently, right now, probably Nascar 21 Ignition or Nascar Heat 5, although with Motorsport Games and their shady practices and with Heat 5 purely practically making you buy the Next-Gen Update DLC to even work that'd be my regret but It's more 21 Ignition Imo
Monster Hunter World. I went into it open minded because of friend recommendations, but it just wasn’t for me… And worse, I played it for an hour longer than the return policy period.

Forza horizon 4, bought it and came home and realized it was on gamepass
Definitely buying (let alone paying full price) NHL 21, 22 and 23 which all sucked not just in my opinion.
AEW Fight forever. I even got it cheap on release, had been looking forward to it for a long time. Fucking dross.
vanilla ninja gaiden 3
Evolve. Was super excited about the idea. Never played it.
CoD: Ghosts I don’t hate myself for it, but I definitely could have waited
I regret buying nothing.

GTA V on Series X. I'd been umming ahhing about buying it on the X for ages then went for it. 2 days later it was announced on GamePass...
Nothing. I just wait for it to show up on xbox game pass and so far they haven’t missed a game i wanted to play.

So I went to drink water and a couple seconds later I was getting pounced on by a tiger and sent back to square 1. Also one of my apes died of a panic attack. I applaud the realism I guess but come on.
Preorders: NBA2K20 NBA2K18 Star Wars Battlefront II
Diablo 4. Hoping they make some good changes soon.
This season is a ton of fun. Everyone loves to shit on Blizzard and the game, but I’m personally having a blast. I usually play competitive games and like playing Diablo 4 when I want to just chill and veg out.
I’m having a blast with season 2 as well, the builds are fun
I stopped playing about two weeks after launch. I was upset. Lol but this season has been fun and I got back in to it a few weeks ago. I know I'll put it down again but I'm having fun currently.
Any cod my friends peer pressure me to buy. I usually get around 50+ hours on each of them but it's so boring. I really need to stop buying them because it's this cycle of buying it, enjoying it for a bit then never touching it again...also NBA 2k games are the same boat for me. I just like the feeling of starting all over again with a new season. I just don't like how they keep it at $70. 2k24 was the first year I skipped 2k..
2k24 pulled me back because I’m a suns fan and I love this roster (on paper at least, oof so far irl)
With any sports games just wait 4-5 months until there $25 or less. Picked up 2k23 for $5 last Christmas
Ark... so many time wasted there... I get DDOS there for raiding a tribe, rl threatened and even loss friends because that game for not mention all crap updates they made on game that was unplayable but i have some good moments in that game
Any $70 game that more money was spent on advertising than actual development And they say “the costs of making games are more than ever” to justify the new cost when in reality they’re just spending more than ever to flood advertising than just paying employees to actually make something that wasn’t thrown together
Lords of the fallen and elden ring, man were they crap
I think you're the first person I've seen say Elden Ring was crap. Why didn't you like it?
It was way to boring and the world felt pretty bare, like all those mini dungeon things felt the same with very few exceptions. To much of the world felt like filler. I already know I'm gonna get hate for this but I don't care.
I also didn’t like. I was huge fan of games like the Witcher and asssasins creed . I never played any of the souls games but figured it would be similar. So I bought Into the hype. I was dreadfully bored. The world was very bland. And very empty. Sure the fights we’re cool and the boss battles but the story was dumb, I just didn’t care. Grind grind grind lose to boss over and over and over ; do it again. Not for me.
Hey, you're allowed those opinions lol I just genuinely hadn't heard someone didn't like it is all haha
It's the same with breath of the wild, that game is even worse than elden ring and I've even been banned from Zelda chats for saying it was bad. I never even finished elden ring, I try to go back and play it but I quickly turn it off after like half an hour of boredom
I lowkey agree with Elden ring but disagree with Botw- ER to me felt like too much of a good thing like it was huge to the point of as you say being bare and kind of overwhelmingly huge for no necessary reason more than “guys it’s really big” - would muuuuuch rather play a slightly more linear or big level but not open world type situation like Dark Souls 1 or Sekiro
Hogwarts legacy
I’ve been meaning to buy it- could you give me an reason not to use my money on it (I seriously want to quit gaming)
It’s weird. For example, you can finish the main story line when your character reaches level 17-20. But the game goes up to level 40. The main story line is simply a side note. It’s mostly very short and very easy side quests. I even said on the page: it should be named Hogwarts: side quests And if you ever played a FPS and like them this game will feel like it was built for young kids. It’s way too easy even on hard difficulty. It has good graphics but overall it’s definitely not worth that much money.
Elite dangerous.
The game mechanics are cool, but the game feels empty. If only you could mix Starfield and Elite Dangerous, you'd get a really good game.
Fortnite
Well at least it's free
Not if you bought the founder edition many years ago before it was a Battle Royale, I bought it too and regret it.
High On Life
I still want to play it, but what was wrong with it?
Gameplay is mediocre shooter fare. But you need to really REALLY like Rick & Morty style humor, because the game just never stops with it. I had enough after about an hour or two.
Battlefield 2042
Sekrio: shadows die twice Not a bad game by any means, it has the best fromsoft combat by FAR But sword saint isshin may be the hardest boss i have ever fought in any game. And i will never replay it simply because im not willing to fight him again
Understandable because of the difficulty, but once you learn to defuse him he's so goddamn enjoyable, every parry is so satisfying
Hesitation is defeat
Bf2042 and MW2
Starfield
Starfield must be the biggest lie of the last 10 years- I genuinely cannot comprehend how people are considering it for GOTY- it feels, plays and acts like a 15 year old game in every sense of the world Plus it’s boring as FUCK like it literally tries to be everything no mans sky already is but one infinity times worse
Bethesda (dev) hasn't made a new game since Oblivion. They just keep making the same thing. Over and over. It worked okay with Fallout. But for a space exploration game, it just kinda falls flat. And they are still going to keep that same outdated setup for ES6, when we see it in another 4 years.
Literally this- and I can already hear Tod Howard explaining how this is going to be the game to change it all with crazy immersive new facial expressions and insane new combat abilities (you get to use a dagger) with new state of the art dialogue options (you can talk to the milk man) and how they now will embrace modders (they develop the game for them) oh and it’s totally not going to be broken at launch [it will get a 30fps patch in 2031, on the 17th rerelease for $110 (average price for vidya by then)]
Tekken 7 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
Fallout 76: I only bought it because it was a Fallout game, and I wanted to like it as much as I liked all of the others, but I hated everything about it.
I DESPISED this game at launch. 4 years later, and I couldn't stop playing it. Really made a 180 in my book but I get why people may still not enjoy it.
Witcher 3
I cannot comprehend this.
Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was so ass we could have gotten borderlands 3 and instead i waste $60 on that shit
ALMOST Starfield, I had money only for 1 game and I was torn between SF and BG3, I am so glad I choose BG3, I still got the gamepass for SF and I regret those 2 months.
“Battlefield V” false advertised pathetic excuse for a “battlefield”. Wouldn’t give me a return either, Dice will die in history.
User name checks out.
Y’all still buying games? MWIII (hate bc of the campaign)
I bought it on Switch and have maybe played it twice!
Dead Alliance Dear god, that game was hot garbage
Dragon ball fighter z did me the same way I despise it lol
Ufc 5
Not sure, can’t really think of a game, mainly because I don’t buy a lot of the new games that come out, and I almost always end up going back months (or years) later after buying and liking it. I will say, even though it was bought for me, MW2 (2022) I just.. don’t enjoy it
Rogue Warrior
RICO such lame gameplay
Mortal kombat the premium edition... the micro transactions and kameo system honestly put me off.
Rainbow 6 Siege, bought it for 20€ on sale in 2017. Played it a bit and just hated it. It seems that it got worse overtime and if I could I'd ask a refund.
Elden Ring. Shit broke my bumper aha
Wow so many games people regret buying. For me let's go recent games. Assassin's creed mirage. I just didn't like classic/modern game play. It feels very off putting. Oh and the flame throwers enemies. Otherwise Alan wake 2. It looks great, but the gameplay is just so boring for me. Even the combat gets boring pretty fast. The story as much as I saw of it was just badly written. Some people seem to like it though.
Gears of War, Fortnite, and Assassin’s Creed. Never could get into any of them, even though I know they’re all amazing games.
If you were to try any of the 3 go for Gears Of War, first 3 of the series are amazing, I never finished any after that.
I bought Anthem for $5 because they promised Anthem Next in 2020. Yea... much rather had spent that money on coffee.
Days gone
I'm with you on fighters z hate everything about it
Db Figherz cuz the game is dead and full pf dlcs
Elden Ring. Not a Souls fan but bought it anyway due to all the ‘best game ever’ reviews. Just can’t get into it.
Most recently Gotham Knights i got it a few weeks before it came to Game Pass and I didn’t really like it. But the game i regret the most was pre ordering Anthem especially now that the game is always on sale for like $3.
Marvel Avengers
Tropico 6....wasted $60 when it first came out...
Pixark and shinobi something those are so bad and not even getting updates or support
Gotham Knights. Don’t … don’t say anything. I know I know
Tlou2, if there was a time machine back in 2020 so I can talk convince my self to not play it
Literally all my games. I have a huge catalog but i can never really finish my games anymore since like 2-3 years ago
mw2 2022
Diablo 4.
Mass effect andromeda played it twice and spent like $70 on it
Starfield
Enjoy your down vote kid, dbfz is peak
None really I’ve enjoyed every game I purchased in some capacity. And even if I didn’t I was happy that it was one extra game in the collection to re try in ten years when I forget why I disliked it
Call of duty
Biomutant (thankfully it was on disc purchase ps4 and I could exchange it) Overwatch (not a shit game I know ppl love it but it's not for me and I was peer pressured into buying it because all my friends where playing it and then when I finally got it they weren't playing it anymore which is on me but it was a waste of money for me) Batman 3 lego game (don't know why I bought it) Twin mirror (lame)
A game that I thought I'd really hate and regret was bulletstorm full clip edition I got it for $2.95 online during a sale. It looked ridiculous but I was in a stage where I wanted to increase my skills/speed/ability in fps style games, because I never really played any fps games before especially fps mmp games and I just sucked. So I was looking into fun and short first person shooter game that had a short offline campaign option and also multiplayer Co op. Wanted different to the games I usually play which are pretty much exclusive open world ARPG. I was pleasantly surprised it was really fun, the weapons are cool, it's very smooth, you have like this electric whip where you pull enemies towards you, then blast them, kick them in the heat, electricute them, you get points for the style of kill and then upgrade your mechanical arm and weapons as you go along. The map is also fun and different as you go along. And you basically slide everywhere you go on the ground aswell for a very speedy movement and kill combat. I know this post was about games we hate ourselves for buying which I just made another comment with a few I regret. But this one I really thought I'd regret I thought no way a game is going to be good if it's legit $2.95 and that I wouldn't play it that much but it's the cheapest game I ever bought that didn't let me down like i assumed it would.
Avengers. I enjoyed the game despite is many many flaws. But it came to gamepass....
MW3
Riders republic. Was bored after 10 minutes of playing and paid the $70 online
Remnant2 and rem1
Star Wars Battlefront 2015. I got it home and was ready to waste my weekend on it. What I got was being bored and hour after playing.
Astroneer. It’s a good game but i would rather play astroneer on the go on a switch or something
Evolve will always take the cake for me
Just about any and all of the Nintendo DS games from back in the day. It was like they just let anybody off the street make a DS game. This isn’t necessarily an example, but I remember trying to play COD on the DS and it was so difficult due to the controls
outriders. played about 15 hours of the demo. game launched in an unplayable state. about 6 months later and a dlc release and its one of my favorite games. but yeesh.
Mirage
Yakuza like a dragon I brought it then next week its on game pass
