Video Game Decisions That Haunt You?

[Arkady Rossovich]

We all have done it at least once.Making a decision that at the time,we thought was good.But later on we discover we made the wrong decision,or missed out on something that is popular today.

Is it something that`s only a little bad?Or a huge mistake that you might never forget,especially if your reminded of it?It could be anything,from not getting a certain game.To buying a certain system,when you thought it was good,but it later turned out to be bad.

What's wrong with Dreamcast and Xbox?
Dreamcast has one of the best RPG's ever- Skies of Arcadia.
And Xbox has countless classics(Fable, Halo and Halo 2, KOTOR, KOTOR2 are just a few)

I think my biggest dumb decision was letting my little brother play my Genesis.
Now he's a frickin addict and I have to tranquilize him if I wanna use the PS2 or Gamecube.

Renting DBZ Sagaz, realizing it was the worst game I have ever played, deciding to scratch it and return it saying it was glitching. Sound like a plan? Yep, it did to me. But then we found out we were the first idiots to rent such a crappy game, and we had to pay for it.

Buy a PS2 at launch. Only to have to rebuy it 3 years later after the DVD-ROM died. Never again Ken, never.

Buying a Saturn.

Buying Crusader kings.

Lending Blood omen: The legacy of Kain (the actual title of the first LOK game) to a guy who proceded to move to Alberta without giving it back!!!

Lending a friend Pokemon for FFVII. FFVII being the worst video game I've ever played bar none. It's horribleness is the reason I'll never play another Square-enix game.

Letting another friend play FFX down) Devil may cry down) and RE:Code Veronica X down) on my PS2 before he had one. Worst 24 hours (culmative) of my life.

Buying Black and white.

Not having bought MK:Shaolin monks yet.

LMAO why didn't you just return it? why the need to scratch it?
It didn't sound like a very good plan at all


But me? you know theres some games you buy because you're a huge fan of something but then realise that, wow, the game must be the suckiest piece of hardware ever? That happened to me with The Crow City of Angels, Underworld and The Mummy and first Evil Dead game

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Underworld and Crow had video games?

LOL......3 YEARS ISN'T BAD; ALOT OF PEOPLE WERE HAVING THEM REPLACED WITHIN THE FIRST FEW MONTHS.


I NEVER HAD A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH MINE, AND I HAD IT FOR 3-1/2 YEARS, BEFORE I SOLD IT. THE THING IS, IT WAS SUCH A RIPOFF, COMPARED TO ALL THE HYPE; THE 'XBOX' OWNED IT IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE. THE ONLY REASON 'SONY' WON LAST GEN, WAS THEIR STRONG LAUNCH, DUE TO DVD, AND BC WITH THE HUGE PS1 LIBRARY.

 

[lars573]

The only reason it was 3 years is because that's when EB had the trade in your broke-a$$ PS2 for a refurbed one. The DVD-ROM stopped reading CD's reliably after 6 months. Totally after a year. And DVD movies after 1.5 years. After 2 years it wouldn't play new games at all. And ones that I had that did work before wouldn't always.

It took mine about four years before the DVD drive went out on me.

My worst was Selliing my SNES and Dreamcast for almost nothing. I'm still kicking myself for that. I lost my Sonics and Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 that way. Plus all the great RPG's for SNES.
