Just two...

Swtor

and D3

highly regret both.

I don't really have any.  Closest for me would be AOC F2P.  Still for Tortage alone it was worth the expense.  Some excellent storyline PVE.  After that, just got bored I guess.

TSW

GW2

SWTOR

I really want to like TSW, but there's just not enough people playing.

SWTOR was fun leveling my first character to 50.  After that it blew goats.

GW2 was a complete waste of time and money.  Of the three, this is the only one in which I really want my money back.

D3 - Due to the fact that I paid quite a lot of money for it at the time and bought it for the sake of hoping it would be good.

SWTOR - Similar situation, paid too much for it, had fun for a bit but that was 2 weeks of gameplay until I got bored.

Even though I stopped playing Guild Wars 2, I put a decent amount of hours into it and know I can play it whenever I want to and probably will. But it is close to becoming 3rd place for me.

D3 - RMAH with a game attached.

Dark Souls prepare to die edition - horrid pc port - its prob a great game once I pony up the money for a 360 controller for the pc , until then ill ignore it on my hard drive.

GW2 - not as advertised - got a refund- still doesnt make up for the lost time I invested.  I will go back to Aion and Allods - both free to play and both in better playability shape than this antisocial zergfest.

Torchlight 2 - Almost as shallow as TL1.

GW2 - borderline.  I'll eventually get my moneys worth

SWTOR was 2011 - but it was a HUGE waste of money

D3 is actually a good buy for me at this point.  Recent patches made it much more playable for me.

There is only Two games that I bought this year that I feel I have totally wasted money on:

The Secret World

Medal of Honor: Warfighter 

... I am so ashamed ... (I really liked the MoH:2010 reboot though so I though I was doing the right thing by me) ..  */kicks self in face/*

I'm not a real game-buyer, but the ones I wasted my money on are:

• Guild Wars 2 - I hoped this game would be something new and nice, but boredom struck after 100 hours of playing and not even hitting 80...
• RIFT - Good thing I did get a refund for the expansion...
• TERA - 1 month of playing and I got bored like hell...

I threw a few bucks into Sevencore just to have a nice mount for my trial, but that ended quickly.  Uhg.

Really, that's about it.  Not to gloat as I have been relegated to playing almost exclusively betas and such for the last 3 months, but I think my thriftiness saved me a bunch this year.

Thankfully, I was dissuaded from getting D3 by testing over at a friend's house and remembering how the overly-simplistic UI and stiff control strategy annoyed me in the first game.  Even then I almost bought it digitally when I was bored, but thankfully I read more reviews and ran the other way.

In terms of non-mmos, I bought Hitman Absolution and Dishonored, both pretty short, but I'm satisfied with what I got and will replay them often.

Was Skyrim last year?  Well I guess the DLCs count and I got those.

My one gamble upcoming will be Neverwinter.  I love D&D settings so much that I will shell out $40-60 initially and probably plenty more as the game progresses.  Hopefully Cryptic will pull out another rare win like they did with STO.

WoW, bought the Battle Chest for 5 euros and decided to try it and explore the world, as I really like the artstyle. Turns out that's the only thing I like about the game :P Then again I got about 40 hours in, which isn't too bad for 5 euros...

Crusader Kings II - A really deep RTS, huge leveling curve and even more to learn once you get the basics of the game. Didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would... Will probably check it out again soon as I'm kinda burnt out with the current MMORPGs...

The rest of the games I bought mostly were on sale and I either had a lot of fun in them or I played the games already before buying (if I have fun I'll eventually buy them. Good guy me I guess). I enjoyed and clocked quite a bit of time in GW2, RIFT, SWTOR, Orcs Must Die (1 and 2, gibbing orcs is fun!), BF3 Premium and D3. Still playing most of those, some more than others, and even if I never played any of those again I wouldn't call it a waste of money (well... aside from my years sub to RIFT).

gw2

rift

My biggest waists of money this year where:

1. TSW - bought lifetime acc wish i hadn't

2. GW2

3. D3

Wish i hadn't bought any of these games specially TSW, lifetime account never gets used.

Wastes of cash... Step back guys I got this..

Diablo 3 - Junk, more than junk, what is fun about running around holding right click on things, the story is garbage. You pretty much need to know some friends to get any kind of fun from it in my opinion or really love the challenge of completing it on hardcore inferno mode.

SWTOR - I did enjoy my class story, but when we talk about MMOs we expect more life from a game than one month, such a monumental let down of a game, what it has become since makes me question exactly what the people in suits really are doing. I would have about 80% of the posters on this website make the choices instead over EAware.

BF3 - Just not as good as Bad Company 2, would of been better to play that instead, hardly invested much time into it, not nearly the same amount as I have with BFBC2.

TSW - I enjoyed  the suprisingly difficult Investigation missions, and I really liked the idea of the skill system, but the rest of this game is a let down.

The end of the year is looking up though, Archeage beta in december, Planet side 2 is really scratching my FPS itch. Eve and WoW are both treating me well.

I'm still deciding wether I regret purchasing Hitman: Absolution, very short game, not tried the contracts but have no urge to get back into it. I think it might be a waste, but I enjoyed my short time in it.

-D3

-TheWarZ(but i got my refund)

-BF3

None, why I beta test, research, and/or watch videos before purchasing games.

That and I know I'm not the top of guy for subs, I did purchase TSW and used that for a game to pass August until GW2 came out, though I'm not consistent in play time I prolly wouldn't have bought the game if GW2 came out later.

(Casual I am.)
