DorkLink 08/02/17 12:56:57 PM #3:	Can't really think of any. I was pretty disappointed in Twilight Princess, but I didn't "regret" getting it. The closest thing is that I regret getting it so soon, but even then it's more like "Well in hindsight I probably would have been fine waiting a few years to play this." I think it was a gift anyway and the price now hasn't even dropped far from the original $50 (for the GC version). Why didn't you just say ended up disappointed? I can think of a few more, but that's different from outright regret for the purchase <cite>DorkLink posted [p:884052846] in What game ... [t:75630611]...</cite> <quote>Can't really think of any.

DorkLink 08/02/17 1:26:23 PM #10:	Other hyped games that disappointed me were Majora's Mask and A Link Between Worlds. MM was only a disappointment at the time though, and I since learned to appreciate it. I guess Zelda games are the only ones I get hyped up about. I did think of one that I regret: The Binding of Isaac. It wasn't a super hyped game, but I heard nothing but good things about it and then found it to just be overwhelming and boring at the same time. <cite>DorkLink posted [p:884054519] in What game ...

Black_Crusher 08/02/17 4:23:17 PM #41:	That Final Fantasy Monster Hunter wannabe game from a year or so back. They could've done so much with this but it was terribly boring. Runner up: Diablo 3 when it first came out. Maybe it'd be impossible to live up to the high bar D2 set but it's like they didn't try too much.

Paper Mario: Sticker Star was an even greater disappointment, but I felt like it had less hype than Other M did. Other M is an ok game with an awful story, but Sticker Star is just a bad game. At least the music was good. --- "I mean, even the buffest gym bro can't work out his eyeballs, right?

MetaFalconPunch 08/02/17 5:42:44 PM #47:	Wind Waker. Remember the free game download that came with MK8's release weeks on the WiiU? Got WWHD with that, and I've always regretted not getting NSMBU or Pikmin 3. I like 3D Zelda games, but WW was just impossible to get into. Likewise, I didn't like ALBW. Soooo I'm pretty wary of ever playing MM or LttP. I liked the GB games though. --- Born too late to explore Earth, born too early to explore space.

Dikitain 08/02/17 5:54:41 PM #48:	Probably Resident Evil 4. It was the first RE game I played (although I did see a friend play REMake for an hour or so) and I just hated how much like a Third Person Shooter with bad controls it felt like. I mean I had just come off of playing the first 3 Silent Hill games and they had so much better atmosphere and more emphasis on surviving rather then killing everything that stood in your way. Years later I played REMake and loved it. In fact, I pretty much love most main series RE games other then 4-6. Hell, Revelations is in my eyes what 4 should have been. --- I am a senior software engineer.

What, you regret that it wasn't as legendarily bad as expected? Also, did you pay more than the $6 it went for a couple months after release? I payed $5 bucks for it and honestly felt it was well worth the money. I think a lot of people expected Duke Nukem 3D 2 and were disappointed that the game didn't "redefine the FPS genre". Hell, even Duke Nukem 3D was an outdated game when it came out because Quake was released a few months later. And don't even get me started on how dated the first 2 Duke Nukem games were when they released. If you ignore the fact the game was in development for 15 or so years and treat it as a budget title (which I think releasing it at $60 initially was their biggest mistake), it is actually pretty decent. --- I am a senior software engineer.
