After thinking yet again of the games I've bought over the years and realising so many were in my opinion poor purchases. I thought it would be interesting to ask everyone here if they had games that never lasted or lived up to the reasons you bought them.
I have had many games I feel I didn't get much out of so I wont list them all right off the bat, but just a couple to start off...
Asherons Call 2 - Was convinced to buy this by a friend and we bought it together, it looked good and I knew a lot of people that were going to play it. Ended up only really playing it for 1-2 weeks and everyone I knew quit it within a few months. Now of course the entire game is dead.
Tribes 2 - Saw it at a friends house and it looked awesome fun, bought it right away with everyone else I knew and began to play it online. It was great at first, but after a while the quality of people on the servers went way downhill and it ceased to be fun and got such a serious atmosphere. No real community developed, or at least not one I was used to and I ended up uninstalling it.
Battlefield 1942 - Was eager to get this as some of my CS Clan were playing it and I love WW2 stuff. Played it loads at first but most people on the internet playing it were seriously annoying in their behaviour with the vehicles especially. Lost interest pretty quickly, I played it for the atmosphere and for fun, I didn't really get into the community.
Well, there's three games I enjoyed a little at the beginning but never lived up to the hype or what I hoped to get out of them when buying them.
What about you lot?
