Anybody regret their $70k ship in Star Citizen?

Perhaps it would be Monster Hunter: Wilds.

I went into it with incredibly high expectations, especially after how much I enjoyed Monster Hunter: World. The initial reviews from critics were glowing, praising the seamless open world and the evolution of the combat, which only built up my anticipation.

However, the regret comes from the actual experience of playing it, particularly on PC. The game was plagued with severe performance issues from launch – constant stuttering, frame drops, and crashes that made the fluid hunting experience it promised nearly unplayable at times. It felt like I was spending more time fighting the game's optimization than the monsters themselves.

Beyond the technical problems, there was also a sense of disappointment with some of the core design changes. While a more streamlined experience isn't inherently bad, it felt like some of the series' classic complexity and challenge had been sanded down a bit too much. For many veteran players, this departure from the traditional formula was a significant letdown. So, it's a mix of technical frustration and a feeling that the game didn't quite live up to the legacy of the series that makes me regret the purchase.

None because I don't purchase video games anymore. I haven't purchased any games for many years. I never put any high expectations for any games. So I can't be disappointed by it.

Not really but I only paid 30€ back in like 2013. My worst single purchase was probably 100€ for Starfield.

Although I still played it so it's not that bad. The worst use of money I'm guilty of is picking up all these "great deals" whenever some sorta interesting game on my wishlist goes on sale then never playing it.

Cyberpunk 2077

ngl i should've bought it on sale sob sob

Honestly, these happen less and less as I get older. Thanks PC game pass (even with the price increase).

But the biggest waste of money in the past was easily, BRINK.

So much potential, with the addition of parkour to Enemy Territory. And the implementation was just crap at the server level. I remember trying to play, and so much rubber banding and hit box errors. That is if you could get into the server, and not because there was just such a big load. There were at peak maybe a few hundred when I finally got in. Which looking up the wiki, is really weird with 2.5 million in sales. I tried playing over the first couple of months, but gave up as all my buddies stopped playing it (if any of them bothered to pick it up at all).

Shadow of the Colossus - I had read tons of glowing reviews singing its praises and finally decided to see if it was as groundbreaking as everyone made it out to be. It wasn't. At least, not imo.

It was a snooze fest, between its quite literally barren overworld, the absence of npcs, and its extremely minimalistic storytelling. I made myself play through it in the hope that it would eventually get better, but it never did. It was just nonstop tedium, until I'd finally had enough monotony and called it quits. Thankfully, I found it on sale, but it still wound up being $20 wasted.
