What are the biggest gaming mistakes you have made?

>Bought a PS4 For FFXIV and Black Ops 3, I don't like bloodborne

I pre-ordered a vita. and a 16 gb vita memory card at full price

I backed that Homosuck Kickstarter game.

I pre-ordered Tomb Raider 2013 and Dark Souls 2.

Because I didn't learn the first time.

has anything come out of your mistake?

No, they've been flailing desperately ever since the word go. From what I understand, the devs that were originally helping them make the game ditched them to make that new King's Quest game. So not only is it a reminder of my past autism, but I don't even have anything to show for it.Kill me

I trusted Holla Forums for vidya opinions.

When the Gamecube was still mid-lifespan, I sold like 10 newish Gamecube games to a local game shop for $30.
I bought 2 Wii U's.
I actually fucking bought a NES30 Pro (It's not that bad, but the price is retarded, the shoulder buttons suck ass, the analogs are pretty mediocre, and the bluetooth connectivity maxes out at like 5 feet. At least the buttons and D-pad are decent, but that's not much of a consolation).

I've never played Wipeout before, but isn't also combat racing? I like combat racing as much as the next guy, but I was really hoping for a new F-Zero, and instead we got a Wipeout minus guns. I suppose it's just as well, I'm still shit at it.

I pledged on star citizen

The original devs (The Fine Gentlemen or something) used the funds they got from Hussie to fund their own game, then blew him off. They also had him under an NDA so he can't do anything about it without breaking said NDA, which results in a ton of problems. So at least you got a good laugh at Hussie's expense out of it.
I backed it too.

That's some class A jewery. Like I said, pretty sure they went on to make the new King's Quest.

Buying Payday 2 and pre-ordering Starbound.

Buying Rust for $20

It was "The Odd Gentlemen".

fdorced myself to play through shitty games to see what all the fuzz was about, garbage like Assassins Creed and such

I bought your ambassador 3DS.
There was so much bad porn there…

I never got into strategy games and when I was like 12 a store clerck recommended me Starcraft and instead I went for Freedom Force. Good game, but I kinda wish I raised the bar early on.

Never i've been so wrong, fuck valve and fuck me for falling in their trap, to set it up for some games takes so much of my patience that i don't even want to use it afterward, it gives problems with games that can't handle both K&M and Xinput, some non-steam games just crashes only because they are linked to steam, the trackpad is horrible that i can't even do a proper horizontal line because it always goes diagonal.
And most of these problems could have been solved if this controller wasn't chained by DRM
Even if the gyroscope is responsive and not bad for driving i could have spent those money to get a proper fucking gaming wheel.
Never buy this crap or trust valve ever

Sold now valuable GC and PS1 games such as Melee, Sunshine, Tomba 2, Mario Kart DD, and others to Gay stop for like 10 bucks because I thought they were going to lose value anyways.

At least I kept my Gameboy Advanced Player, is that still worth anything?

OH

I also bought that 5 dollar t-shirt for LBP back on PS3 and spent like 60 bucks on PS Home furniture…

Fuck, I wish I knew about Furry Life instead of paying for fucking Home Decor on a service Sony shut down.

Slightly off topic but what was Home like? I heard you could invite people into your room and watch movies together that you had on your hard drive.

The attachment is only like 10 or 15 dollars, but the disk is 30 to 40 ish.

I got a free review model. Gave it a lukewarm review, pointing out that most people are just going to prefer traditional gamepads.

For what it is it's not the worst thing in the universe. Definitely not something I'd recommend to anyone though.

Around a decade ago I sold my copy of FE9 to some guy off craigslist for like $15 when I was a broke faggot kid, can't even remember what I wanted money for at the time. A working used copy now goes for at least $100, mine probably could have gone for around $150 given how good of a condition it was in. I never sell or trade in games anymore, the return is fucking nothing anyway.

...

I've made too many of them…

I'm surprised I'm still here

I spent $200 on fake SD Gundams

I bought the Wii U Deluxe at launch

I spent $1000 on a gaming laptop*

Friend got a WiiU anticipating Zelda WiiU. Ouch.

On one hand, he didn't buy into the WW and TP remakes. On the other, he neglected Splatoon and Bayonetta.

Oh I did that too, but I don't really regret it.

What I do regret is ever backing Mighty No9

I spent 3 years playing nothing but Runescape.

I had the chance to buy Rule of Rose used for $15 and passed it up. Didn't know how uncommon the game was until it was too late. I explicitly bought my PS2 for survival horror games, too.

JUST GOT THIS SENT TO ME BY SOMEONE IN NATIONAL ACTION SENSITIVE INFORMATION

poal.me/7qpuuu

poal.me/7qpuuu
df

ff

fuck off brit/pol/

I pre-ordered Borderlands 2

Hussie's fault for outsourcing when he's got hundreds of willing autists he could hire from the MSPA forums, not reading his fucking contract, and then renting out that ponderously expensive Wall Street office he didn't need

He's a fucking retard

I bought 50 crates for Overwatch on day one and stopped playing 2 days later

At least I got Yeti Hunter for Mei

...

I found it pretty good for playing turn based games from my sofa, I don't have a proper pc desk right now so it works pretty well for that shit, still use my 360 pad for games that support it

Lets see

i bought starbound

I found my older brother's Dreamcast in storage with a controller and a couple memory cards. Took it all home, got some cords, and got that shit hooked up now. The internal clock resets itself once you turn the console off but that's hardly stopping me from playing some Shenmue and Soul Reaver. Could be worse issues to have after a decade plus of inactivity, I suppose.

>schindler's list XXX version you missed a glorious opportunity to call it Schindler's Fist

eat shit faggot

I didn't take care of my ambassador 3DS and the shoulder buttons broke.

shoulda got a *new* 3ds

Sounds about right.

it was second life.

stream kung pow

I bought a Wii U, i'm just waiting for the gamepad to be cracked so I can use it with my PC maybe then the buyers remorse will go away.

Bought a 2DS instead of a 3DS because it was slightly cheaper and I genuinely somehow thought the 2DS would be more comfortable to hold.

Donated to three Kickstarters, two have failed completely.

I spent money on MWO before I knew how to 100% get my money's worth out of it. (Read: I bought Project Phoenix)

Some other dumb shit I thankfully blocked from memory.

When I went to college my mom gave my Atari 2600 to goodwill and about 300 games I had for it, and a whole bunch of accessories. After I explicitly asked her not to. Checked ebay later it was all worth about $3000.

...

I let a friend buy me Starbound.

I lent my n64 and some games with star wars rogue squadron to my neighboors and their kids after knowing each other for a long while. They moved to a different house and never heard from them again.

I preordered Legendary and was extremely hyped for it.

I had a friend in Highschool who thought this was going to be bigger than CoD/Halo.

Fucking idiot.

I preordered Brink

I backed Kickstarter games. Kickstarter games I dare not name.

Name them
pls

me to

I lost friends over league of legends.

I punched a keyboard in half.

And I bought The Last of Us for 40$.

Me too user. It's bad enough I lost the money but I dare not even speak their names.

Of the ones I am more ashamed of:
Mighty No. 9
Project Eternity
Castle Story
Unsung Hero
Hex Heroes
Steam Bandits: Outpost

I still don't fucking get it. After all these years I still don't understand how they had such a great premise for a parkour FPS and then just fuck it up worse than an infomercial actor.

I pre-ordered Watch_Dogs

That's not bad considering I sold my entire PS2/PS1 collection not even an entire year ago

What the fuck is wrong with you mate? That's not even the complete list of things you backed, how did you manage this? Did you not learn anything from the first 5 times?

I bought the Legend of Korra video game.

Jesus dude.

I forgot to mention it was ~35 games and I sold them all for $50

I sold LoZ:TP Gamecube version

And i bought Paper Mario Sticker Star

Worst mistakes i have ever make

Looking back on it, that's pretty much everything I back aside from good games like Darkest Dungeon and Kingdom Come (hopefully).

I don't know what possessed me to back such terrible things. Mainly a dev on the team who I trusted. Partly it was in a span of short time so I hadn't yet seen the foul fruits of their labors. But I have learned. At least let me walk away believing that.

Literally what?

Is Kingdom Come the one made by the guy who triggered people by not having a dindu in his game

Yes

I played video games.

I just listed my ambassador 3DS on ebay. Shit has no fucking games. OP is a faggot.

Yeah I know what you mean. I backed a Kickstarter because it was made by a dev team I trusted. Turns out they're total incompetents without the financial backing and supervision of a larger company.

It was Doublefine, wasn't it?

Nah man I ain't gonna fall for a Tim Schafer game but that does match the description.

Kaiju Combat

I also meant to say Unsung Story, not Unsung Hero.

When I was a kid I bought Shark Tale on the Gamecube.

I traded in Mischief Makers as a kid. Didn't get to play it again until 2 years ago.

My old CRT died so I went on Craigslist to buy one that said it was 28" (which is still a little too big) but when I got there it was 38". I had already driven way the fuck out of my way so I took it home and almost killed myself getting it in the house. This thing is WAY too fucking big and I don't even have space to put any of my consoles. The only thing hooked up right now is the Dreamcast. Gonna try to grab a 19" PVM shortly.

I bought an HDCRT without HDCP support.

I bought Hard Reset. Fuck that game was bad.

I paid $60 for Neptunia on PS3.

Instead of buying Wario World, 7 year old me though Rugrats royal ransom was the Superior choice.

The game wasn't THAT bad i had my fun with it, but my brother didn't stop bringing this up for years.

He was joking of course but all I ever felt was pain and regret.

I've been following KC since it was new and it's been one big fiasco. I wish Duncan was the worst thing to happen to it.

I'm a furry and this disgusts me.

Sold my gamecube in 08 with rare games such as
Ultimate muscle
Killer7
Mgs
Gotcha force
Mk DD
Baten katos 1&2
Melee
Gauntlet legend
Zelda oot & mm CD
LoZ tp
ToS
Time spliters 2

I hate myself

I got into gaming

Real talk fam, you all know you're lives would be significantly different if you didn't start.

what difference does having an ambassador 3ds make?

Yeah, he was an idiot.

I was just yped for a good single player FPS with fucking mythology bullshit thrown in, and I got a terrible SP fps with like 4 types of monsters tops with bugs out the ass

Holla Forums loves to call games shit, but most of the times those games are merely not as good as other games in the same series or the compeition. Legendary is ACTUALLY a shit game,.litterally a 3/10. For real.

I miss that game.

But I don't see the inherent problem with the laptop purchase.

I made a $800 pc, and I only play craptop games on it.

What do you mean by this?

Different, yes.
Better? I doubt it
