I know there's already this thread, but it's rather different.
Simple question: what do you wish you hadn't bought this year?
For me, there are three games: Pokémon Black, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and L.A. Noire. Pokémon Black is so boring and repetitive that I don't want to continue playing, and it's not as though the story is a motivation. L.A. Noire was fun, but too short, flawed and I had bought it with the R* Pass; I just should have rented it. Finally, I had enjoyed MvC3 when I had bought it day 1 earlier this year, but I can't get into UMvC3. Everybody's using the same characters online and I don't even feel like taking the time to get better with it.
What games do you regret buying in 2011?
Yakuza 3. I thought it looked cool and that I'd enjoy the setting and combat, but the beginning is so slow and rife with boring mini-games and dialogue that I can't find the will to play it. I've now lost complete interest in the game and don't think I'll ever play it again.
Mine's Deus Ex as well except unlike you I don't recall having a moment of fun with it at all.Deus Ex. I'm on the second boss fight and I'm just not having fun with the game anymore. It was fun, but not great. Only bought it for forty bucks though so I'm not lamenting over it.
@CptBedlam: I'd trade with you in a heartbeat if you lived in Nova Scotia.
I almost regretted L.A. Noire but I dished my pre-order off to a friend who was going to buy it at the last moment.
Bastion.May I ask why? I loved that game.
I regret buying nothing really, I've picked rather well this year.
Dark Souls. Not that it's bad or anything, but I simply haven't played enough of it to warrant the $60.
DC Universe Online (PS3): it's not bad but it takes up 20 gigs, I only have a 40 (which is near filled even without it) and now it's F2P
Marvel vs Capcom 3 / Mortal Kombat: fighting games in general really. I like watching them but I don't have the patience to get better at them
Brink: this was just....I don't know what the hell this was but it sucked
Far Cry (Steam): thank god it was like 4 bucks or something cause wtf? Game has aged terribly
Pretty much. That's the only 2011 game I have bought and not enjoyed.Rage. Fuck me this game was boring, man....
I regret more getting the season pass for LA Noire cause.....I never finished the game to begin with. Thus never did the DLC.

Gears 3, hey it was fun for a week, multiplayer is awesome, but fuck there is no chance in hell I will touch that game again.
Not many...I can't believe you guys didn't like LA Noire or Crysis 2...I thought both were completely amazing in their own ways. For me, the games that I've bought this year, but didn't enjoy were: Ocarina of Time 3D (I can't believe how poorly that aged), Little Big Planet 2 (I was hoping for something totally new, instead of more of the same), Shadows of the Damned (cool story, but absolutely dreadful gameplay), Outland, Dragon Age 2, Child of Eden (maybe for $15, but it felt like just half a game), Fight Night Champion, Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary and maybe Modern Warfare 3 (we'll see).
