    Default Games you wish you hadn't paid full price for

    Medal of Honor - Bought the standard edition for full price thinking it would get me BF3 beta access, turns out it didn't and I ended up with a mediocre game.

    Black Ops and MW3 - Bought both on impulse and while I don't actually hate either of them, I do regret paying 60 bucks for each.

    Mafia 2 - Good game but was still a disappointment.

    Saints Row 3 - Great game but bought it on impulse, played for an hour and haven't got back to it yet.

    Dead Island - Almost the same case as SR3 but I did sink quite a few more hours into it.

    RAGE - Way too short for the size (Yes, I know why is it so big) and did nothing to innovate both the FPS and open world genres.

    SiN Episodes - While I loved the game, I bought it on the assumption that a steady stream of new episodes would be made after the first one but, unfortunately, Ritual wasn't able to continue the project and eventually faded into nothing.

    Borderlands - I've got mixed feelings about this one. While I love the freedom it offers and I think the gunplay is fun, I got bored of it very easily because the gameplay is very repetitive and the world is not diverse enough. Doesn't help that I also bought the GOTY edition because of the Duke Nukem Forever First Access thing. Oh boy...

    From Dust - Should I even explain why?

    Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light - Very fun game but I couldn't be arsed to keep playing it after the first couple of levels.

    I got L4D2 for 25% off...still never played it, so does that count? Didn't pay full price, but then I wish hadn't bought it at all.

    Modern Warfare 3: I bought this for $60. The graphics were 2008, the maps were tiny, the guns were exactly the same mp5 m16 ak47 m4a1 who gives a fuck anymore, and the campaign lulled me to sleep. Sold to a friend for $40.

    I very rarely buy new games, I won't even buy Skyrim for a while.

    Last game I can remember I paid full price for was Arma. What a bug ridden jittery pile of fuckfest that was. Nowadays I'll just *ahem* "Demo" a game just to see what it's like first, mind.
