[Attention] Why Did I Buy This?

Ever go out and get a game, come home and find its awful? Or at least really overrated? Or how about the time you went out and got Metal Gear Solid 2 and came home and found out that 3/4ths of the game you were playing as K_Tak?

Give some of your best stories of horrifying gaming disappointment. Win an offical GFF NO PRIZE if your story involves a major crowd pleasing game (Halo 3, Gears Of War, Asteroids, etc)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

LEAVE AND NEVER COME BACK

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Heres my list

Ring Of Red: Basic concept is fantastic - WHAT IF WORLD WAR TWO DIDN'T END AND THERE WERE MECHS NOW AND THEN THERE WAS A LOT OF SHIT BLOWING UP EVERYDAY EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD.

Basic execution was SHIT - Lets have a thinly-veiled story, presented with talking heads (ala Front Mission) about vauge territories and ideas no one can care about. Then lets give Mechs a bunch of worthless infantry units and some power-ups like a ZOOM LENS.

Colony Wars - This is still the only gave I've ever returned in my life. Jesus Fucking Christ, what an awful mess this was. YOU HAD TO PRESS AND HOLD SHOULDER BUTTONS TO GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. Worst fucking control scheme I've ever come across, holy dumb fuck.

Homeworld 2 - While the game in and of its self isn't bad, the campaign is fucking BALLS NASTY LIKE A RUNNY SHIT. Each level is just another chain in a series of overwhelming attacks; by the third mission, you have barely put out an ion frigate and some fighters and you have to protect a station from numerous capital ships and fighter waves. Fucking STUPID.

Jedi Starfighter - WHAT. Seriously, what the fuck was I thinking when I ordered this thing? Admittedly, I had the good fortune of pre-ordering but never picking up JEDI POWER BATTLES but man almighty was Jedi Starfighter a humiliating game to play. YOU HAVE A CANYON, YOU ARE IN A CANYON, YOU CANNOT LEAVE THE CANYON, SO FLY STRAIGHT AND HIT WALLS AND THEN THERES GUNS FOR SOME REASON AND DONT HIT THEM AND SOME SPACE JEW WILL TELL YOU NOT TO HIT WALLS OVER AND OVER.

Final Fantasy XII - My all-time favorite game remains Final Fantasy Tactics, so to see that FFXII was getting similar treatment, I was geared up for the goddamned BIBLICAL EPIC to end all RPG games. So imagine my confusion and disappointment after the opening credits. Yeah, okay, I've seen airships and castle fights a billion fucking times between FFVIII and LOTR. Add to that a really annoying main character, a love interest that a dog wouldn't hump and some weird-fuck mini-quests. It's not as bad as, say, Final Fantasy VIII - but it's certainly not Final Fantasy IX either.

I was speaking idiomatically.
