Wario Ware - Single most disappointing game I've EVER purchased because elite posters X and Y said it was great. To this day I make references to the sheep who bought this game. I really detest it.
morrowind: this forum convinced me to go for it, i thank whoever it was profusely, it brought me back into gaming. Ikuraga too to a degree,though i really bought that for my brother more than myself. It was another good buy,despite my general dislike of shooters.
Sorry to say it, but Virtua Fighter 4. And I imported it...
As a side note, I believe there is a name for this in Japan. Aura Purchase, or something to that effect.
You buy it because everyone else does/thinks it's good.
I can't say that I've ever been massively let down though. Most of the time, the people who I ask about games have the same tastes as me and come through.
the first victim of my ignore list :sneak:Quote:

I have the big shocker for this one. Castlevania: SOTN. I decided to track down a copy after all the praise here, and it simply didn't click with me. I couldn't get into it, I'm not sure why. I guess the gameplay didn't appeal to me at all, it felt like the same thing and what I played didn't dazzle me. I never got too far in previous CV games, and this one was no different. I liked the music I heard though...that's about it.
Two (well technically three) comes to mind:
Hoshigami: I've seen it praised as the second coming of FFT. Thankfully my brother spent his money on this and not me, but it still was a huge dissapoinment.
Mortal Kombat 3 & Trilogy: I bought both of this because I felt my collection was incomplete without any MK game. In retrospect, I could've used the money I've spent for both on a game that was actually good. What a mistake that was.
Same here, but HoD fucking OWNED me.Quote:

I've gotten better, but I've always been really bad about buying Gran Tourismo 3.
Here are mine:
Gran Turismo 1 (PS1)
Borrowed it actually. I hated it. gave it back promptly.
Jet Set Radio (DC) US$10
Bought it. Hated it so violently I smashed it with a hammer.
Guess that is about all. I stopped listening to friends online or off about what game to get after JSR. (And yes, i am aware I am one of perhaps two people in the known universe that didn't love JSR.) I have tried over the years to simply avoid getting games I probably won't like, or getting a friend who keeps preaching about how great a game is to just loan it to me, and let me decide.
