anyone have any gaming regrets ?
 

I went to japan a few years ago and when i came back decided it was time to clean house, i sold all my all games in one batch for 80$ titles such as

day of the tentacle (disk version)
quest for glory 5 (disk version)
wing commander 3 - 5
phantasmagoria
eleventh hour
under a killing moon
the dig
flashback

and many others that i cant remember

damn i wish i never sold them

Day of tentacle and the Dig!!boy thats a great game,ya Never should sold those...mmm....You Still can download it if you want

I regrett selling both my A500 and my A600HD :/
Still have a few games (Lotus III i think) and the AMOS programming-kit somewhere for Amiga... but what the heck.. the boxes are nice to look at.

Biggest misstake i've ever made BUYING a game, must be the X-COM Apocalypse.. When i got home and sat down, i saw i had picked up the GERMAN version of it... :doh:

Not from here you can't :)

I'm still kicking myself about buying Bioshock without checking the system requirements. So frustrating. The cd is a coaster for my coffee mug now. Also, losing all the wonderful box art, maps and documentation etc. that came with Christy Marx's Sierra games. Her stuff was seriously works of art.

I regret having bought the Baldur's Gate full pack (both games plus both extensions). High powered D&D combats are so much not my cup of tea, that I uninstalled the game when I was just one combat (with Sarevok) away from the finale. I was already bored because by capping experience points the game basically removed any motivation I had to continue playing. Are they mental? Capping the level in a RPG? WTF?!

And I hate how annoyingly stupid the Infinity(TM) engine is about pathfinding. Emasculatingly frustrating, and when you have to walk through a narrow corridor (very often) it gets far worse of course. I can't fathom why they had the nerve to release a game with that engine, nor why people weren't mad at them about it.

I don't plan to try the expansion nor the second game at all...

I'm not saying the game is that bad, it's just that I'm not into this particular kind of RPGs, and these flaws do exist and have no excuse.

I'm still kicking myself about buying at all. It's the only game I ever felt regret buying; wasted money. Not at all my sort of gameplay.

By the way, Japofran. Unless I'm mistaken almost any CRPG imposes a hard level limit.

WHAT??? You'll burn in hell for this! >_<

I've been there, man. I've got a German version of KKND 2 upstairs, and a French copy of Gangsters: Organised Crime. It's never a good idea to just assume that a game will support multiple languages.

Really? Well now you know my opinion about it. :p

@Japrofan: The second Baldur's gate is massively better than the first, and there are a couple of mods allowing you to use the 2nd games engine for the first game (not tried that yet though). Agree about pathfinding, wouldn't have been a problem if they hadnt included so many narrow corridors... I also found several battles in the first game stupidly hard, and avoided going of the beaten track.

More OT, I regret getting rid of all my Ultima stuff (including cloth maps, massive guidebooks, a couple of trinkets), and the QfG collection. There's probably plenty more, I've moved so often that I've sold, lost or thrown away more than I care to remember.
