The Witcher 2.

Love the story, but the combat bores me to tears, making the game almost unplayable for me.

I'd say the same about the original Witcher, though not to the extent of 'unplayable'. Pick a style and weapon, and wait for a little glowy icon.

Mass Effect 3 standard edition.

Wait it's not what you think. I got ME3 on a 25% off deal the same time I bought DA2 on the same deal at Direct2Drive. Then later the CE was announced and available through Origin, and since Direct2Drive didn't offer refunds and I wanted the CE... I ended up two digital copies of the same game.  Not exactly brilliant thinking on my part, but then I didn't hate ME3 like many do.

More in the spirit of the thread though...a non-game hmm probly my old (since replaced) monstrosity of a Dell laptop that wasn't very powerful and far too big to take anywhere with any convenience.

That one. Though i couldn't even get past prologue parts, i felt so eeky about, um, everything.

The only game I've ever really regretted buying was Splinter Cell: Conviction for PC.

It wasn't because of the change to the franchise or anything critical like that. It was the first time I had to deal with Ubisoft DRM, their really bad PC ports, and a very unfriendly U-Play. I got the game to play co-op with a friend, but every few minutes we always got kicked back to the lobby or the game would just crash. In fact doing pretty much anything meant a crash to the desktop. Died? Crash. Reloading a checkpoint? Crash. Opening a door? Crash. Sneezing? Crash.

This is no game, but oh well...
For me it is 50 Shades of Grey. I wanted to know what all the fuss was about and also thought if I am going to make fun of it I should at least know what I am talking about. Instead it made me ANGRY. Seriously I have never been so mad at a work of fiction...

Also I once purchased a really disgusting salad that was drowned in Balsamic vinegar.

I found Witcher unplayable, but purely due to my dislike of the character I was stuck playing.

But I wouldn't say I regret purchasing it. I because the reason I bought it was to support what I felt was a nice gesture by the company. I heard they realized the initial release was poorly recieved  and rerecorded all the dialogue, fixed lots of things and gave it out for free. I thought that was pretty keen of them, so I bought the upgraded version. So they could make some profit for doing a nice thing.

Shame I didn't like the game, but I felt they should be encouraged.

Anyway I don't waste alot of time regretting purchases. Probably the only thing that comes close is collector editions involving Statues. That always seems like a great thing at the time and afterwards I wonder why I wanted another dust gathering thing.

I read a free chapter on my phone to see what the fuss was about and I felt ripped off. It was a crime against literature, and I hadn't even got to the 'sexy' bits.

I've bought several games on GoG I'll never play again. But they were impulse buys in the first place, so I can't complain. And the money goes to a good company.

[AshedMan]

Dragon Age 2

[VanguardOfDestruction]

My car :| ....I just wanted something quick.. lookin back, i coulda got something a whole hell of alot better, for the same price if not a bit lower.. I was dumb.

[Eurypterid]

Wow, mostly game purchases here.

I bought a car way back in the day that I really wish I could have 'unbought'. Worst piece of junk I ever owned. I also bought a Blu-ray player a couple years ago that turned out to be really temperamental and I wish I could have un-bought that one too. I did, however replace it with a different one.

ME3, DA2? Nah. Well, I haven't played ME3 yet. But even though I didn't like DA2 I wouldn't un-buy it, although I wouldn't pre-order it again.

[absreim]

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Has to be the worst expansion in the entire series.

ME3 and DA2 could have been better but I feel it was worth the $60 to preorder them.

I've tried to come up with anything else. Been sitting here for maybe 10 min now to come up with anything that gave me the same remorse as buying the CE of ME3. I've done a couple of purchases i somewhat wish i hadn't but they're not anywere near ME3. 

[Arch1eviathan]

Deus ex: human revolution.

that game really sucked.

[Blastback]

DA2.

[RinpocheSchnozberry]

DAO. Most people who played it agree it terrible. That's why half the people who bought it passed on DA2. DAO... bad game!

[brettc893]

Videogames are all most of you regret buying? Huh...

The day I found out the girl I was planning to ask to marry me was cheating on me with a meth dealer, I spent $80 on a bracelet she said she wanted just hours before being informed by a mutual friend.

I lost the reciept, but pretty much forgot about the thing till a week later.

It's nice to know most people never spent significant amount of money on a used car that was a lemon or saw their house lose 50% of its value when the Real Estate market tanked

Sorry Jack but this is worse.

Mass Effect 3 Collector’s Edition.

Ripped me off and made me feel like a ****.

[blaidfiste]

Yeah ME3 Collector's was for the most part worthless. I could have stuck with the regular version and purchased From Ashes cut content.

[Beerfish]

I bought a toaster for 15 credits but it didn't work! I took it back to the Turian merchant and he would not refund the price! I tried and tried, over a number of years. Finally his replacement clerk was going to give me my 15 credits back and along comes some bully hot shot and shames me into not taking the refund.
