Which games do you wish you had just rented?

Post Reply New Topic

the new alone in the dark game they just released for the PS2 finished it in 3 hours, could have saved myself 33 dollars if I had just rented it.

The LEGO Indiana Jones game for PS3. Probably should have tried selling it on eBay, as I lost $25 in the trade at Gamestop. The game wasn't anywhere near as fun as the LEGO Star Wars games.

PC gamers aren't usually rented, but some ones I wish I hadn't bought:

Blade of Darkness
Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon
Call of the Cthulhu: The Dark Corners of the Earth
Dungeon Siege
Enter the Matrix
F.E.A.R.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup
Sid Meyer's Pirates (the more recent one)
Siberia

i'm glad i did rent army of two. fun game if you have a friend to play with but the single player mode sucks. not worth a purchase.

Oblivion. After 200+ hours of wandering around and bludgeoning wolves to death, I now feel all that effort was utterly pointless. This feeling did not become apparent until I neared the end and realised that the only reason I was still playing was for the 120 achievement points you get for completing the game. The actual game mechanics were not enjoyable and I now feel slightly depressed about the whole thing.

Siren. Bleh. I was so excited when I bought it too, because it was by the makers of Silent Hill and I thought it would be great, and then I put it in my system, and I couldn't have been more wrong.

Medal of Honor: European Assault. I had high hopes for this game, and it was a real disappointment. It lacked most of the things which made previous MOH games great. The levels were boring, the gameplay was tedious, and there weren't any saved checkpoints. I'll usually play a game to the end, but I got so fed up with this one that I'll probably never finish it, let alone replay it.

I'm usually pretty good at picking games worth owning...

But out of what I have right now...

Definitely Samurai Warriors Xtreme Legends.

Even though it was like $8, I feel like a douche for buying it.

Duh... this game is really an expansion pack stupid. You have to have the Samurai Warriors game to use it fully, which I don't have.
Bought it on the mistaken assumption that it was an expanded version of the original game.

Harvest Moon for Wii.

SO boring...

But I won't sell it, as I NEVER sell videogames

I was really looking forward to it since it was made by the guys who developed the Timesplitters games, and man I must say I was disappointed with it. The gunfights didn't feel intense, the story was mediocre, and all the abilities you had as a rebel, while cool in theory, were useless. You hardly had any opportunities to use those abilities. Heres hoping that they get their act together when they make Timesplitters 4.

Rez, not because it's a bad game. It's a great game, but it's over quickly and there's little replayability.

Blue Dragon for the 360, beatiful game but I'm just not into it much.
