I have a bunch, but I'll post my less controversial one and say Fire Emblem: Awakening. Heard everybody ranting and raving how good the game is so I got it. The combat is just annoying since all the characters other than tanks are insanely frail and the characters are just stale anime clichés. What about you guys?

FFXV I was so excited to play it... got bored after 2 hours. Was massively disappointed
RIP in peace Junpei 6/1/17 :(

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

You can say ones that just disspointed you. It's just a discussion to get people talking. Doesn't have strict rules.

You can still post them, I'm pretty sure OP would say disappoint can sorta fall under regret in this situation In that case I have more to post: Sonic Heroes Pokemon Sun/Moon Persona 4

Skyrim... but only a little.

GTAIV is the only thing which really springs to mind, since I don't usually get into hype. Technically also Legendary but the early reviews kinda pegged it as crap; granted, I was majorly hyped for it during the early coverage and it was one reason why I got a ps3. mastermix3000 posted...

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.

I don't pay attention to gaming news nowadays, I think the last one I was ready for was Pokemon X/Y, I didn't even play BW2, heard it was really great and bought it like a couple weeks after it came out, played for like 5 hours and I was just not feeling it, stopped playing. Even OR/AS I tried but I think i'm just not feeling the newer games, i'll stick with the classics I guess.
This is my signature, there are many others like it, but this one is mine.
If you take 110% of what I say seriously then you're gonna have a bad time.

GTA 4 - IGN gave it a 10 and quite frankly i can't see why. Story sucked, characters were mostly horrible, gameplay was worse than SA and the fun factor was so much lower than previous entries Any AC after Revelations. got 3 and 4 and then later a friend borrowed syndicate and found most of them more than disaponting

Oh man, if you think the Awakening characters are frail, you should thank your stars you didn't try to get into the series on one of the earlier titles. The Awakening crew, unless you're playing on a high difficulty level, is one of the hardiest the series has ever produced.

The Witcher 3. Didn't know much about the series and bought it based on the great reviews and watching some trailers. I quit and traded it in after playing 4 hours.

Steins;Gate - People on the PS3 board kept talking about how great it was. I seriously doubt I'll finish it. At least I only paid a few bucks for it.

That game wasn't hyped up at all, though. 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?

it sort of did, though. it had the reputation of being in development hell for so long, and then it finally had a proper release date, so people got excited for it. what they got excited about is up for debate, but there was hype

Probably lots, but most recent is Ratchet & Clank on PSP. Its not nearly as good as people say it is. Not terrible but definitely not great.

Okay, true, but it was pretty much immediately critically panned. I think that hype has two main components - anticipation and high expectations. DNF had the anticipation, but not the high expectations.

I bought into this game series three times and each time I left my head scratching what was so special about it.

I bought Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City to play with a buddy. I was hyped it sounded like an awesome concept. Paid full 60 and everything. Didn't take too long to swear off crapcom games after that.

Red Dead Redemption. Got it because my friend told me it was awesome, but I played it & thought it was garbage. Even the online was boring. I realize it's an unpopular opinion but I stick by it. Did not enjoy that game at all.

Sonic Heroes
That game was so bad

Every mainline Final Fantasy since X to some extent, including the mmos even though they were good games. I just don't really like the constant paying standard. Skyward Sword There are probably a lot more but I can't think of them. These stood out though.

No Mans Sky Also Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 3, but I bought them both used for like $10 so meh.
|
I generally don't pay attention to hype, and just buy based on descriptions of gameplay. I will say that one thing that disappointed me about Dark Souls was the complete lack of a pause button, even in single player. I don't care if death is a slap on the wrist; you should still be able to pause if you're playing alone.

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. Years later and after many changes it's a much better game (RoS UEE)

ugh yeah this... i knew it looked kind of boring before i got it but i convinced myself id have fun with it anyway but it was just soooo boring

Metroid: Other M is definitely the top one for me. 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.

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.

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 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.
