[General Discussion] Games you regret buying.

The title of the topic is pretty self-explanatory. What games did you regret buying either when you were young or just recently.

I had one experience where I regretted buying a game over another one. When I was younger, I had the choice to pick either Vagrant Story or Valkyrie Profile. I went with Vagrant Story and I realized, after a couple of hours of play, the mistake I had just made. It wasn't the typical style of RPG I was looking for. I was looking for more of a turn-based battle system ala Final Fantasy or Breath Of Fire. But alas, my grasp of the english language was not very good when I was younger so I couldn't read anything that was written behind the game case. It was a blind pick that I regret making.

Let's hear your story (Let's hope you have one or else this topic is pointless) .

On topic, what game do I regret owning? Xenosaga. That has to be one of the worst series in the history of RPGs. It is so heavily hyped and the gameplay is just atrocious, I can hardly even tolerate playing it for more than twenty minutes straight. The second one is even worse, and I've no hope for the third.





SALT IN WOUNDS. STOP HURTING DENI.

Sorry dude. You know what? If I hadn't sold my copy, I would gladly mail it to you because I wouldn't have played it again anyway.

And, about Xenosaga, this game falls in the "I'm glad I just rented this instead of buying" category along with FFX, which was disastrous and a couple of other games.

How ya doing, buddy?

I thought that this game was actually pretty good! It just lacked a little something. Maybe a little depth in the battle system. The story wasn't all that great too. But overall I enjoyed this game and thought it was really good. I have weird tastes sometimes.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't play SRPGs that well, with the exception of FFT and Vandal Hearts. I really should stop buying them. heh

You're right. Some of the battle were horrendously difficult to get past unscarred. That was one of the game's down point.
