Whatever you call it, it prevented me from playing with the original disc, it always crashed in the menu without a crack.

I will be dating myself... but my biggest gaming purchase regret may well be Outpost.

I just realized - The Witcher 1 (on steam). I bought because it was discounted. Shortly afterwards it was discounted also on GOG. I regreted Steam purchase but the possibility to own this game without any DRM won and I just purchased once again - this time on GOG.

majora's mask is the peak of the zelda series for me

its all down hill from there

now if you want pure repackaing fodder look no further then the mario party series

10 bloody games
they are all the same
and in al of them the cpu fucking cheats
its infuriating

You can get a free GOG copy if you own the Steam version.

Wow. I was going through my disks the other day and ran across it. I wanted that game to be much more than it was.

Hearts of Iron 3


I know Paradox has a bit of rep that it creates too complex games, but I never had any problem with any EU game or HoI2, not even Victoria 1/2 which was often mentioned as being too complex to enjoy and understand.

Hearts of Iron 3 was where I regretted buying it the moment the game loaded up and I seen the terrible map, and as I clicked around the user interface it just got worse.

its not even nice looking
i have to use a host fo mods to make it even presentable and even then the graphics are sub ps2 going on ps1 with muddy textures and a wooden animation cycle

the whole world in morrowind is drab its brown upon brown and oooh look more brown and some green too


...the water looks nice and thats the nicest thing i can say about morrowind
now i am intrigued

Personally I liked those games, played them on console though and in single-player, I prefer poorer graphics over crappy ports and DRM. My worst experience is gifting my brother a triple-A Steam game, paying full-price, and having the f'n thing crash on him everytime he wanted to play it. Not a nice gift, and the last Steam game I've bought.

I agree that repackaged games are usually a safer choice if you buy the games at full-price, I use the same rationale for when I buy my "annual" racing games, like F1 and MotoGP.

I encouraged, I recommended 1nsane, and then I suggested moto racer 3... you don't care for them, it's an embarrassment to me that I make such poor references, a personal fiasco. I'm being overly-dramatic. :D

SR4 I still haven't bought, I just finished it during the free weekend earlier this year. There was no way I was going to buy each individual DLC, and since I waited this long I'll wait till this holiday sale to pick up the GOTC edition when it's like 75% off.

Still haven't really started SR2; could be I'm subconsciously waiting for CD Projekt to fix their port and bring it here?

Yes. Truly. Also it had a metric @($&-ton of bugs, features left out that were in the documentation and ways to inexplicably die for no reason. And those were the good parts! :D

I think the only one i ever regretted buying was Carmageddon. By the time it arrived (good old CD ROM ordering days...) i was already bored of the demo. The game itself was the same crap as the demo, with ugly variations of maps that ultimately didn't make much of a difference. I miss those 50 bucks :P

Hm disappointing but not a bad game overall: Warcraft III. All i wanted was Warcraft 2 in 3d with new maps, not that hero-comic crap i got ;) Guess its just a a matter of taste. The multiplayer was still ok.

Well, I suppose I have a regret that I have yet to purchase Sacrifice...

:P

Stacking. I bought it when it was first released on gog, thought I'd really like it, but I find it boring and tedious. It's just a bunch of wandering around, jumping into every other doll in hopes you'll discover something new. I don't like the screen, something's off about the view, and it gives me a headache if I play more than a few minutes at a time
