What games you shouldn't waste money on even if it was your last?.

Start the list!!!, and give the reasons :).

Update: Here's mine

When I was a kid I used to Hate/Love this game, and I still do It's a horrible game. This is the type of game that make Gamers want to cause suicide. You don't think so then take a look at this funny review. I wouldn't even spend my last dime to buy this game, and make it look fun, that's how bad it is. The game has some fun parts, but it's only for a short period of time.

Bound By Flame. It looks neat, but it plays like shitty dick, sounds like shitty dick, and is shitty dicks.

Also Thief, get Dishonored instead.

Also Universe Sandbox.

Also the Wii U in it's entirety, it's a shit system. ;O;

Inb4 someone says every game for the wiiu cause it's a piece of shit.

That would clearly be wrong. I mean they may be a bit tainted but there are some multiplatform titles for it.

Anyway is the art or the artist likely to see the phase "in exceptionally poor taste" used when describing it? Might wish to give it a miss then. That said I probably would ignore a lot there for a good game, I certainly ignore quite a bit there when it comes to films and books.

Quality is a different one, I might occasionally pick up a bad game for some reason -- all the COD knockoffs might be bad COD games but they often make fine shooting galleries and sometimes I want that.

Ultra Street Fighter 4, because it's going to be the exact same bloody game yet again, re-released under a new name instead of being distributed as DLC for the original.


To be fair, it's an okay if you've been waiting, like, 6 years to get into Street Fighter 4.

Very true, seeing that it's a game currently available for everything from iOS through the 3DS to home consoles and PC. If you still haven't played it, you're trying really hard. ;O;

Seriously, unless the game is like $5 don't even bother, it's a waste of time.

Also Pikmin 3. Bought and returned it on the same day, I had NO fun with Pikmin, albeit it's audience is rather Niche.

And lastly I'd say Ryse Son Of Rome on Xbox One. It's a short burst entertainment kind of game, and not really one I enjoyed. Reeks of launch title terribleness.

Persona 4.
Such an overrated game. I mean come on, it's basically a waifu simulator! You should play the game Persona 4 ripped off--It's called Conception II. MUCH better than Pearusona..
Terrible joke post. I'm so ashamed

Well if you think about it Kojima made Zone of the enders series, and that was incredibly short, and fun, but people still bought it. Unless your a true MGS/Kojima fan (like me) it's worth it, but if not don't risk it. It has high replay value even though it's short as hell. I'm happy just because they gave us a little taste of the content before the fully polish game comes out we can't really complain if they're introducing us Open-world especially (Not directing towards you just saying).

I'm still in two minds about Ground Zeroes. The gameplay is top notch, it's easily one of the most fun games in the series, but it is criminally short. I think it would've been better if it was just an introduction to The Phantom Pain rather than a separate release, however it does have high replayability due to all the hidden goodies. I can understand the intention and the rather low ($25 for a digital download) is acceptable, but it still left me hungry for more. It's definitely a title that's solely dedicated to hardcore fans and I have no doubt that there will be a Ground Zeroes + The Phantom Pain bundle eventually, so those who are on the fence about the game should probably just wait for that.

Any FIFA game

First thing that popped into me mind when I saw the thread title.
Then again any major sports game with the year behind it is the same shit over and over again.
COD is also one of the games that just has to have it from it's multiplayer.

Other then that, I think games that are being released on a near yearly basis would be the ones that have atleast some caution when buying them.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just like any comedies really, and cartoons have always been a favorite of mine. Family guy, American Dad, Futurama, Cleveland Show, Simpsons - I like them all.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    South Park is great cause they always touch on relavent issues going on today, and make something funny out of it.
