What PC Game Purchase Do You Regret The Most?

in Recent memory Tera, Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3. But not full out rage, more just general disapointment.

Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 weren't necessarily "terrible"... but what I expected and what I got were absolutely 2 different things. Both of them took too long to come out, and when they did they were already dated. And weren't really an improvement over the originals.

Tera - while it had good graphics and some "action" combat. The game was still too grindy. The game had no real PvP system at launch, and by the time it did, I had already quit the game and won't be returning

In the 1990s I got many of my PC games at stores like COMP USA, before the interwebs was really in full force. As a result, many PC game purchases were duds, but off hand I can't remember them because its already 20 years later.

D3 and the annual pass I paid to get it... since now I'm not playing either...

Like you guys said, D3 wasn't bad per se, but hitting that way in the last difficulty where you can't even process in act 1 made me a sad puppy, and having to play the game THREE times to reach the max level sucked.

D3, ARMA II since I couldn't get DayZ to work.

Couple I could think off.

One was CityofHeroes/CityofVillans - played for 30 days and quit that grindfest. $30.00 if I remember

SWTOR - it was sliced bread at first, but man what an epic failure of management.

WoW Cata - logged in for maybe 24 hours of /played, ended up deleting my account, gave away everything.

I would have to say Neverwinter nights 2 Platinum edition, was $20 and the first time I played it was like "woo cool" now its like "no way" the GFX dont bother me as i'm use to that but when I tried saving the game, it did'nt work out and some of the other little things. Editor was pretty neat though.

D3 is another strong one since there is no offline mode, I have to deal with a whole bunch of lag and getting disconnected every 5 minutes or so, I can't help it that I have satellite (no other options) and the patching seemed a little kiddish, blizz would make it fun then come out with a new update to make the game trashy, was so bad that now my brothers are'nt playing it so they uninstalled it and left it be.

Far cry 3 is a game i'm pretty upset over (still) it was a cool game when FC2 was famous (online play) and now theres FC3, the MP ain't any account cause the lag is aweful (even others are saying the same- with landline connection) and for a couple things in SP is the stamina, you can run, run, run or swim and swim forever but you can only hold your breathe underwater for a minute. What? The second would have to be the length, FC2 story mode seemed a bit longer imo. But I like that UBI stuck to the same old FC theme and background that it always had, thats cool.

Support only the gaming company's that matter the most, pay for something that actually is worth buying
or has a good reason for how much it's worth.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Epic fail.

I don't buy very many games anymore because of money problems.Just can't afford them.But the last game I bought I guess several years ago that sucked real bad was Hellgate:London.

reply to Ghastlyone
SWTOR, Rift, Borderlands 2.

Best purchase was Torchlight II via Steam for 10 bucks.

reply to Ghastlyone
Brink. What a waste of money for that preorder. $50 for an hour and a half time played.

MoO3, what a stinker that was.

All the impulse buys on Steam. Never finished one game I bought I bet.

BF:BC2

I just cannot get into it, I don't know why, something turns me off the game, even MP.

Duke Nukem Forever. I was a huge Duke fan and was excited for it. After about 20 minutes I was disappointed. I finished it to say I did but it was bad.

Dragon Age 2.

I don't know what to say... the first time I pressed played, I had to exit and go on Google to search for Dragon Age Origins sequel to make sure I bought the right game. I was 100% sure I picked up another series that also seemed to be called Dragon Age that was some rip off of a cheap MMO.

When I couldn't find any info about another game, I went back and continued to play it... I only got convinced I'm playing the sequel one hour into the game... then I tried forcing myself to play it for another 5 hours before I just got fed up and never touched it again.

I want to quickly throw in my 2nd pick:

Tribes2
It felt like masturbation with no happy ending.
