Games you regret buying

I agree, very good indie games.

Topic: I don't really know as I don't buy a lot of games. Before buying, I usually try to check carefully if I'll enjoy playing them. On Steam if you haven't played a game for more than 2 hours (correct me if I'm wrong) you can refund it up to a week after buying it.

Alright guys, we all know the very obvious joke here, so let's all say it together on three so we don't have to say it for the rest of the thread.

I don't necessarily think it's bad, just overpriced for the amount of content it provides. Apparently there's an official editor being in works, so once it comes out I think it will be worth to buy this game.

I bought this really shitty/buggy game called Unbox like a year and a half ago. It has a cool concept where you play as a box in a world where boxes are basically used as delivery drones, but the game is so buggy and unoptimized that it's practically unplayable.

Also I kinda agree about JS&B tbh, I've played it for a few days and it gets very stale and boring to keep unlocking songs and replaying them over and over for the S rank (doing 10 songs in a playlist is the most boring thing ever jesus). I think it could use a new gamemode, or a level editor too, that's cool. I don't regret buying it though, it introduced me to some awesome new artists and songs like Nitro Fun (Final Boss), Sabrepulse (Close to Me), Danimal Cannon (Long Live the New Fresh), and Tokyo Machine (Hype). The story mode is also kinda eh. Could use some secret areas.

Same thing as above applies to Pokken Tournament, but without anything good.

On Steam, I bought Cities: Skylines, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Stardew Valley, and VVVVVV but never really got into playing them much.

Outside of Steam, I got Tomodachi Life and only played it for a day and I also tried to get into Pokemon: Omega Ruby but quit after getting lost.

A hard to learn mechanic=/= a bad mechanic. Just because you’re bad at something doesn’t mean said thing is bad. I haven’t played the game you’ve mentioned so I can’t speak for it, I just tend to take complaints about something being unforgiving with a grain of salt since being coddled by a game is pretty boring. To use a personal example, I got Dark Souls when it was free with XBox live back in 2014. I sucked at the game. Like badly. Got past the tutorial eventually and made the same mistake that plenty of people made, which is to say I went to the graveyard first and got promptly slaughtered by skeletons. Close to an hour later I found the correct way to go at the start and ended up making another mistake shortly after. See, I chose the master key as my starting gift because I figured it’d be useful. I wasn’t paying attention to what key was used when going through a certain door and wound up finding Havel. Not exactly an enemy you want to be fighting with just barely above starting stats. Needless to say, he kicked my ass for hours since I was awful at dodging, parrying, spacing, and finding time to heal without getting punished. These mechanics aren’t bad and it’s fine that the game throws you into the deep end immediately to learn these mechanics because I eventually got better at all of them and was able to kill Havel eventually. I hit another roadblock later and found that I was in the wrong place after caving and googling what the hell to do but the point still stands, a steep difficulty curve doesn’t make a mechanic bad, it just means you’re bad at it.

OT: Mortal Kombat. Was my first go at a fighting game and it really just wasn’t for me. It’s not a bad game, just not a genre of game that I enjoy. I’m also not good enough at all the finger gymnastics required to pull off complex combos.

The most recent one is Just Shapes and Beats
I finished the game in 2h, despite the game costing around 17€, and I fogot to refund it in time, and only thought about it the day after it was too late
The game isn't bad on its own, but it's very short and not worth its price. I really hope they're gonna add new features.


And more generally, I regret buying all games where I have less hours spent on than the price I paid for it.
