Author What game do you regret purchasing?

Kingdom Hearts 3, I'm a KH fan and love kh1 and kh2 to death, even COM. KH3 just was kinda a disappointment, not a bad game, but not a good game either, mediocre at best, the first 2 hours and last 5 were the best part, the rest felt like filler bullshit. I payed full price aswell, it may be worth the money if it was 20-30 dollars.

You got a point. That’s something to be concerned about. I have yet to make a purchase on FF7 Remake. But I’m still interested as to how the experience will be overall. Nostalgia isn’t a huge factor for me. Hopefully it won’t feel like XV. Or worse (the game play like Watchdogs 1) have a surprise downgrade.

Dragon Age Inquisition, it straight up killed my fatty PS3. Then I got a new one for 100€ and got to play it, MMORPG boring busywork (I love MMOs, but not in single player), uninteresting characters, ultra low res textures, FPS drops, crashes and there was one bug where a loud banshee like screech would blast in loading screens. Then EA dropped technical support with a "haha losers, go buy it for PS4/Xbox One". Sold every EA game I had except Dragon Age Origins and vowed to never buy any EA related game ever again. Could not be more right on that decision.

@Xzayer FFXV development stopped and restarted from the beginning at least 2 times: when switching from PS3 to PS4 and the Unreal Engine and when changing producers from Nomura to Tabata because it was getting nowhere with Nomura (he's a great designer and producer if he is under watch of someone else). That's how you get a game completely different from what was promised with characters being dropped and added every trailer. It's nothing short of a miracle it ended up releasing and turning profit for Square Enix. I think Tabata said in an interview the game is not finished.

GTA5. and I regret not because the game is bad ( it's amazing) but because I'd bought this game and few days later I've won one more gta5 for free at https://drakemall.com/... so I had spent money for no reason :D It was really unexpectable for me to win but anyway it made me very happy :)

The only game I ever truly regretted getting was Harvest Moon: Island of Happiness. The controls were really clunky, the crop/weather system was annoying, somehow the game makes eating needlessly difficult, and EVERYTHING IS MANDATED BY THE TOUCH SCREEN!!!!!! Yeah, re-sold it on Ebay afterward.

Farming Simulator 2013 on Steam. Back then: eh, why not? Now: waste of money even though I put 210h in it. Well, lesson learned, every other game was "free".

The only game I regret buying in recent memory would be Tales of Zestiria. I had known the game was bad well in advance, having even bought Berseria before it, but I decided to drop $20 on it just to see how bad it was. It had some nice ideas, but the RNG equipment was not one of them (that idea being mostly fixed in Berseria, thankfully), learning new attacks involves invisible number bullcrap tied to the title system, and you were actively punished for playing as the other party members due to everyone that isn't the main character being hyper focused on one element in a game where targeting weaknesses is a big part of damage output. This is before even getting into how bad the camera is in battles. It's got a good soundtrack though 🤒
