games that i have wasted my money on

Post by Levangles »

so far in the past four or five, maybe enven six months i have wasted precious coinage on these sick pieces:
BIG NUMBER 1..... planetside
and following... halo, worms 3d (just this week, what a brutal game), midnight club (got very boring after 3 days), nhl 2004, doesn't work on my bloody comp for some reason, and a few other lesser known titles..
anyone have any other uglies that they can add to the list to prevent me from wasting my money?

You gotta start reading reviews and trying demos bud before blowing money on a game. Thats my advice.

I won't buy any game that I can't get some play time on before purchasing. Games just cost too much these days to take that chance, good reviews or not....

*Punches Zilch.*

Luckily I didn't waste my money on them (Got the demos and such), but I suggest to NOT get:

PC

- Robin Hood: DOTC (A half-assed conquest with three mini-games in place of strategic battles!)

- Hidden And Dangerous (Fileplanet gave away the first "Deluxe version", which sucked hard. If the second is anything like it, do not buy it. If not, it may very well kick ass)

- Freedom Forces (actually I thought it was pretty good, but the AI was pretty damned bad. You turn a corner, and every Russian in the city started shooting at you, AND DID NOT MISS. Also, all of your allies were dumbasses, and ran out into the middle of nowhere to find cover, catching bullets in the ass the whole way there)

- XIII (I only played the demo, which supposedly was a "bugged" release, making it insanely choppy, slow and hard to control on my brand new computer, but besides that, I could take millions of bullets from a distance before dying, but one shot at close range from ANYTHING would kill me (the exact opposite of my enemies, who can take three or four rifle shells to the forehead before dropping).)

- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (It wasn't that bad, but somehow my PC could barely handle all of the Cel-Shading. Hell, the graphics could have been handled on PSOne. I though it was good when I rented the PS2 version. Get the PS2/XBOX/Whatever versions, they're worth it.)
