Battlefield BC2. Not sure why i bought this. Never even tried it in MP, i'm not a big fan of MP and the singleplayer campaign wasnt my thing.

Nice. Let's immediately go into abusing members. What next, "Your mom" jokes?

Seriously, I'll understand if people say it's good despite the combat. It's not perfect, but it's good, I'll grant you. But... Just. Look. At. The. Combat.

Anyways. *shrugs*

Don't worry it's just elitism..

The Witcher's combat did fucking suck, they made some major strides in Witcher 2 and thusly making it immensly more playable

i'm tempted to say Portal 2 since replay value is pretty weak, hopefully some DLC's will change that. I got alot more hours playing Left 4 Dead 2 than this and i rarely touch that game, but i got alot more for less than 10 euros than i got from Portal 2.

The old Peter Molyneaux game Black and White. I remember Pc gamer followed its development for years and they hyped it immensly. But the game was very boring.

I still launch it after new patches to play a few turns to realize it's still very boring and bland.

Actually I regret buying L4D, eventhough I had fun with the game it made me royally pissed when they announced L4D2 like only a year after. Mostly because I knew it wouldn't get the support it was promised to get. I think Valve really took a cheap shoot there...

@Interactive: oh believe me it was.. Everytime you died some mysterious voice would also shout out "SOLDNAR!" just to remind you what the title is of this shit game you are now playing, in case you had somehow forgotten. That in itself became very annoying and very quickly when you would die from the bugs and glitches just as much as from other players.

The idea was good, just the execution was really really bad.

Even though someone gifted it to me for free - Borderlands.

They hyped that game up as being this massive open world FPS/RPG.

Yeah, NOT. Game was complete shit in my book.

Only two really spring to mind right now;

Doom 3. Massive disappointment. What a truly horrible game, which could have been made better if it wasn't for the uber-plastic textures and the insane pitch-black visuals.

CoD Black Ops. What a fucking piece of trash.

Doom 3, well for me it wasn't so much the textures. But what a heck? If you have an awesome game engine why hide the thing in pitch-black 98.9% of the time?? Also while the story was okay-ish, the monster in the closet and other stuff just killed it. Mostly my disappointment there are that the game COULD had been a great game..but wasn't, and it wasn't even a techdemo for the engine because you couldn't see squat.

It's not that bad game as those others but it just didn't felt interesting. Also one thing I hated are the controls (next time I will test it with XBOX360 pad). Yes you can do almost whatever you want in the game but somehow completing the missions wasn't interesting at all.

I might play it again sometimes in the future but ie. GTA IV was way more interesting even it's not good as San Andreas was/is.

I completely agree on the missions part, what I really liked about the game was the free roaming and the grapple-hook/parachute mechanic...

Cruising through the islands at sunset/sunrise was actually pretty relaxing for me, almost therapeutic after working my ass all day.

Because that's what the engine was good for Very Happy

The Halo game from 1999 that was PC exclusive.. The one with the flying baby with a halo. Bought it, never opened it or played it. Read a very bad review after getting it home. That was my lesson in game industry hype and propaganda. I've bought many duds over the years. Overall it's worth the risk, but I've gotten better and more selective about what I buy now. The key is to not be impulsive about buying games unless they are on sale for very cheap!


I think that game was called Messiah.


Indeed, and you missed out 'cause that game was immense fun Smile

Definitely Dispel, a game from 1999. Only game I ever regretted buying.

It's elitism? I'm glad people have become even more retarded when it comes to using that word.

Whoever made all the retards around the internet start using that word every chance they get needs to be shot.
