[General Discussion] Games you regret buying.

Nowadays, I regret buying any PS1 game, because I tend to want those on whims when seeing them at the game store, but then I look at them when I play them and am reminded how I usually can't stand anything that looks too dated to me.

I regretted Xenogears (eep!), because 1998 grainy-pixel heaven hurts my eyes. The story's probably awesome, but it has trudged along rather slowly for the mere couple of hours I played it.

I also usually regret buying any PS2 RPG at full $69.99 price, since they usually average out to the same amount of enjoyment and offer nothing exceedingly exciting or fresh, so I've stopped buying games like that.

As a result, I regretted asking my parents to buy FF X-2 as a christmas gift a couple of years ago, when I should have just rented it. I love all the merchandise for it, but the game itself should have been a rental.

Regretted Ultimate Block Party since I discovered there were no chain shouts at all, which they could have easily put in, no matter how second-rate they would have been. They give you a smaller window of opportunity to add on to your chains/clears than in most other puzzle games too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Now that I remember, Kirby Canvas Curse disappointed me. I knew it wasn't like every other Kiry game and that it was actually an acquired taste. I bought it because word of mouth said it was awesome, but it really didn't click with me. I beat Drawcia and all that was left were goals for perfectionists and speed runners. Not too impressed.

Mortal Kombat: Armageddon since I thought that the sheer number of characters would appeal to me no matter how bad the gameplay was. The lack of specific fatalities ruined it for me completely. It's nice to see all the MK characters in 3D, but looks like I only play them for the fatalities. Even the special moves are lacking and the gameplay was clunky and unforgiving.

Gunpey and Gunpey DS bought twice because the presentation is completely different between systems. The gameplay is terribly simple and horribly flawed in the DS version with the simple controls. While on the PSP you had to play for hours upon hours to get new skins. If you die, too bad, start from scratch and play for hours upon hours again. The concept was so braindead simple that not even the trippy visuals could save it for me. Not on par with Lumines or Meteos by a long shot.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
