After thinking about the games I have played over the years I have began to develop certain regrets. What (if any) do you have?

For myself they include not ever finding Shadow in the 2nd half of FF3, not ever completing FF7, and giving up on Metal Gear Solid 3. I would go back to these, but I need to get some painting done first.

Portal !

its making me think thats what it feels like to be locked
up in a mental asylum.

Not exploring the various dungeons in Diablo II. It would explain why Diablo toasted me in a couple of seconds.

Not playing any non-Capcom fighting games until years after they had come out.

Playing Fable II

Playing Final Fantasy X.

wasting an entire summer playing DoTA in war craft 3. I curse blizzard and their unbelievable games to hell.

Yeah, their old games were all well and good, but then they went all 'hurr durr, we need more scanty clothing and riduculous body proportions!'

Buying Lord of the Rings: Conquest for Xbox 360 instead of playing the demo first to find out it was complete garbage.

- Blackbone

yeah the graphics on lord of the rings conquest was crap!
I thought I bought a ps2 game for my ps3 when I bought it.

- Never finishing FF 8 and 9. I played them to the finish, but I was never able to beat the finale, or the boss before the finale, I don't know.

- Buying StarFox Adventures for the full price when it was new. Nice to look at, but too easy, repetive and uninspired.

- I never got around to have all the original 151 Pokemon. My save was deleted by some kid when I only needed one more.

Playing any video/computer game at all. What a waste of time! Like friggin internet foru...DOH!

::runs off to paint!::

I personally regret pvp-ing in diablo 2. A level 12 pally is no match for a lvl 73 amazon. You can't outrun spears.

Playing WoW. What a boring, repetitive piece of life-wasting gak. If I want a treadmill that makes me fatter, I'll shovel McDonalds down my throat.

Having never owned a NES.

Anyone selling one?

Trust me Anung with the end of FF8 you missed absolutely nothing, FF9 was good but the final boss made no sense

My one gaming regret was never finishing Soul Reaver 2

Another would be never finishing Doom 3 but that game is too damn jumpy to play for me.

Also still not being able to finish Sonic 2, that game is evil.

Never being able to finish Rogue Trooper. The end boss fight is ridiculous, and it doesn't even tell you what to do.

Soldner.. I still want my money back after all these years.

Half Life.

Got stuck in an alternate dimension on an asteroid with no jetpack and no way to get around that didn't kill me.

That disc met its end on the freeway. After being pounded into so many splinters by the passing wheels of many heavy articulated vehicles.

Xen was annoying, but it wasn't that hard.


Regret? I've never finished Homeworld. Or Homeworld Cataclysm for that matter.

Pun intended

Not having the brains to finish Killer 7. I'm stuck and just never got the motivation to try it again.

Losing my Tony Hawks 4. fething loved that game.

Not finishing God of War 2, rented it but didn't buy it. If I see it on sale somewhere I'm grabbing it faster than a pair of slashing chain-blades.

Having better relationships with Morrowind characters than real people back in high school

Tons of eBay purchases that include a Japanese Sega Saturn and an import version of Sonic Adventure

You think that's bad? Try the unofficial Portal Prelude. That thing is nightmarishly hard, and I thought the first was a breeze.

Wasting money on lame franchises that are past their time. I'm looking at you, Sonic.

Beginning to play Baldurs Gate, Diabllo 2 and of chourse Wahammer 40k games.... So much time I have spent on them BUT time well spent I say

My biggest regret was buying call of duty 5
what a waste of £50 lol
