Ugh I have so many games on my list that have little under 20 minutes played. It's all purchases made during sales or through the humble bundle.

Probably the worst offender is Hearts of Iron III. I love WWII and all I wanted to do was play as Nazi Germany, but there are like 100,000 different things on the screen and I can't be bothered to sit down and read the manual or even look at the tutorial.

Worst. Purchase. Ever.

Can't remember what it was called but it was a really lovely wannabe Serious Sam knock off that had some Aztec motif. It was coop but so poorly designed.

One achievement was "run like yo mama stole something".

Ugh I have all three Bioshock games. I quit playing the first one because someone spoiled the ending for me :negative:

Haven't touched Bioshock 2 because I'm waiting to finish the first one.

And yeah Bioshock Infinite became kind of boring.

I'm the worst gamer :(

Absolutely Borderlands 2. Paid like 35 bucks for it because friends were telling me to. We never played together. I did not enjoy the game solo. Even buying another class DLC and using cheats and mods for color saturation, ducking boring and lovely. Regret it more than any other game purchase in memory.

Day Z is loving awful. I installed it and I'm just a crow. Sure crows are awesome but it's loving boring for a video game

I bought the Starbound beta. It was boring compared to Terraria and they never updated it significantly. Only got burned by early access once though, I've learned my lesson

I never understood why you'd play it once you got all of the best guns since from that point forward you'd just be picking up the pieces from your previous game. It's like you're building a Lego kit and at random intervals some Russian hacker pops up through the floor and dismantles what you've built so far.

The War Z (Infestation: Survival Stories) It was kinda fun in a horrible train-wrecky kinda way.

...and like 30 others. The problem with "indie games" is that no one will bother writing a thoughtful bad review for a game that no one's going to buy anyway. My only choice was to buy them and find out there's either only 30 minutes of fun or 50 hours of tedium or 5 minutes of tedium.

The only thing I'm proud of in my life is that I didn't buy "The Castle Doctrine".

It's Hearts of Iron 3 for me, as well. I've tried my damndest to actually play it and I just open it up, look at menus for 15-20 minutes, maybe make Hitler Chief of the Army or something, alt tab for a while, alt tab back in, and close it every time.

Personally, I think it's problematic that a sitting Senator has a racial slur for a last name.



like 90% of humble/game bundles clutter the libraries with total poo poo

i got like 200 games on steam and most of them are unplayable garbage
