Splinter Cell.. and I still regret it. I keep it on my shelf as a constant reminder to always remain untrustworthy and paranoid.
In my never ending quest to come up with fresh topics (something we could use a little of around here) it occurred to me on the way back from Gamestop that perhaps this is a new one.
Name a game that you never intended to buy but ended up buying because everyone else liked it so damn much.
My case in point: I would've sworn up and down on firstborns, lastborns, and bibles that I would *NEVER* buy a Star Wars game again. You can take me to task for that if you want, but LucasArts and all of their shenaningans and crap software just left me with a bad taste in my mouth for many years.
So, now everyone and their mother is saying that SW KotOR is all that and I find myself on a mission to go to Gamestop, of all places, to buy this fucking thing at retail because of all of YOU.
Peer pressure. Name your cave-in.

Won't be long before someone mentions a Treasure game...
As for me I'd have to say GTA3 and Phantom Crash. Phantom Crash obviously being limited to praise on this board, which was the only place I ever saw it talked about.
[edit] And Star Wars Galaxies, which I was pressured into by some friends of mine. Damn them all.
Dippity-Do!
Sin & Punishment. You guys were making such a big damned fuss about it!Originally Posted by MechDeus
It took me a while to track down, but I found one, or rather it found me, and I'm very glad I bought it.

never went as far as to buy, but rent sure. anyways...
Splinter Cell - boy did i regret that.
Gunvalkyrie - this wasn't so much because of you guys, but mainly because i didn't like that my xbox was collecting so much dust, and decided to put some faith in Smilebit. ended up liking it a lot more compared to when i had played the demo. controller S helped a lot too.

Part of the reason I bought a Game Cube was due to peer pressure.
Do I regret it? I don't know, I'm indifferent about it either way.
Shenmue. I think it's a total turd.
How.... how did you know!?!?!!
I did play it at first, and my instincts did tell me that I really wouldn't like boring, slow paced shooters.
But no, the magazines and websites wouldn't shut up (not to mention insisting that every true shooter fan has it in their library), so I caved in and got it used.
Well, the end of the story isn't too bad since I'm sure (former poster) Richter appreciates his copy and I appreciate his working Intellivision
The Darkest Soul
For me as well. I bought a damn N64 just to buy this game

Zelda 64: Something about this one - I dunno- felt off. It's really hard to explain but I didn't enjoy this game as much as the other Zelda's, and goddamn did I ever try to.
Final Fantasy (anything): I hate every single one of them. And I've tried ever single one of them. At some point in the game I'd realize that I hated random battles, I hated the battle systems, and I hated the stories. Yet, every time a new one comes out I try it, buying into the "retooled" battle-system and new and "sophisiticated" plot hype.
I'm so stupid. *sigh*
Return to CastleWolfenstein: This game spanks donkey ass if you have Xbox Live. If you don't it's a mediocre shooter, or so I felt.
Lunar: *shudder*
