What game do you regret getting "rid" of? I definitely wish I would have never traded in my Battlefield: Bad Comany 2 game in. I would still be definitely playing it today. What about you?
Hitman: Blood Money. I S-Ranked it ages ago and then sold it on ebay. Regretted it so much I then bought another copy of it from ebay a few months later.
@MattBosten: Yea, I have been looking at rebuying B:BC2 again, but it is still kinda high considering it came out awhile ago. Maybe one day I will bite, because I love playing it still at friend's houses.
@drag: another reason for my regret.... the Vietnam pack.... I usually never trade games in, but I decided to be "smart" and trade it in to save on another game. Where is that stupid time machine Coke Zero uses in its commercials? lol
Too many to recall. But one of the ones that really sticks out is the original Bioshock. I traded it in because our first 360 had RROD'd and although I was just about to beat the game, I lost all my save data. I didn't think I wanted to play all the way through the game again. But wishing I hadn't traded it in.
"Any game I ever traded in. Man I was an idiot. You know how many times I want to replay an old game only to remember I don't got it anymore. "
This. I never should have gotten rid of my Mastersystem and SNES games. I think most of my N64 games may be gone too. I really miss my copy of Ultimate Carnage for SNES though.
Not the greatest game ever, but I was really enjoying a lot of the Multiplayer. Then Killzone 2 was coming out ( I picked up R2 late) , and I heard all this awesome yang about how crazy awesome and revolutionary the multiplayer was. So I put R2 towards KZ2, convinced I wouldn't play R2 anymore.....HUGE mistake, regretted in only a couple of days.
i let my friend borrow left 4 dead. i wish i could get that game again. i bought 2 on steam and then said dang i wish i bought the first one on PC also. i'm thinking about buying the fist one just because.
Ico. Traded it in a EB for about a dollar. I didn't really enjoy the game, yet looking back at things I was stupid for getting rid of it for so little.
Just about every game I got rid of .... after a year or so has passed I always want to play that game again. I decided to not sell my games anymore...well unless I didn't like the game then it's alright to sell it of course :P
Man, pretty much all of them, but off the top of my head the biggest regrets are SNES games, because I went and bought a SNES recently:
Earthbound, with the original packaging + strategy guide and in pretty good condition, sold by my mom at a yard sale (probably for like $2) Zelda: ALttP SNES FF II and III
None from the current generation since I have vowed to keep games except when I KNOW I won't play again (mostly old sports games if I get a newer version). I am probably keeping a bunch I won't touch, but you never know! Selling to Gamestop is almost never a good idea in the long run, and its such a ripoff.
A bunch of my old PC games. I can;t think of them off the top of my head, but I remember shortly after getting rid of them how mad I was at myself for doing so.
Let my brother trade his copy of Uncharted 2 for Valkyria Chronicles. Now that I listened to the Bombcast GOTY Delibs from last year again to get in the spirit, I wish I were playing that game...
Borderlands and Dragon Age: Origins. Damn I miss those games. I'll probably pick them up via Games on Demand again eventually.
Actually, I'm done trading in games, I always get raped and regret my impatience when I want to play an old game only to discover that I traded it in for a fraction of the cover price.
I have never sold or traded in a game, and I never really understood people that do (but that's another topic I guess). I did however lend my SNES copy of Mario Kart to someone, and have never seen it again :( I have since replaced it of course. I do miss a lot of boxes and manuals of my SNES games, for which I blame my mother and her insistence on keeping things tidy. At the time, while annoying, I wasn't to bothered by it. Now I think it is quite a shame.
@fallaciousPsychologist: Why, hello there fellow Noel fan! Nice avatar.
I've never sold, rented, or traded in any game except for a few. Smartball, Champions of Narrath, and DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball. I winded up purchasing Smartball a while after renting it. Don't remember when though. However, I DO regret lending my copy of Earthbound out to a friend, who then lent it out to one of his friends, and then went POOF my Earthbound T_T. Never to be seen or heard from again. I remember the day I bought it in it's giant display case at my local Funcoland. -tear-
Maybe Spawn and/or Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter for the PSone. I liked one of those games far more than the other, and got a decent amount for both of them, but it may have been a mistake from a collector's standpoint.
I never sell, trade-in, or get rid of a game because I know I'll end up regretting it if I want to play that game again one day. I do wish my copy of New Super Mario Bros. hadn't got lost though, I really miss it.
Intelligent Qube. Traded it nearly straight up for FF VII and should have known by the amount of credit I got for it that it might have been a mistake.
Crackdown and Tomb Raider Legend. I've got Freedom Fighters on the Gamecube, thanks for reminding me to ebay it. I've got it for the xbox anyway but won't play it again.
" Ico. Traded it in a EB for about a dollar. I didn't really enjoy the game, yet looking back at things I was stupid for getting rid of it for so little. "
Yeah! I sold it for 60$.
The game I regret losing was Space Hulk: Revenge of the Blood Angels. I loved that game, lend it, and never saw it again.
I sold my Gamecube and it's 12 games in Highschool, so I could buy the first iPod touch. I don't regret it, I used that thing more than I would have played those games, but it was a bummer to remember that I don't have Wind Waker to play when the urge strikes.
I regretted trading in my Xbox just a couple months before Oddworld Strangers Wrath got released. Still after years of waiting I'll finally get to play it this month on pc :D
Well, I didn't get "rid" of it, but my Batman: Arkham Asylum was "mysteriously" stolen from my locker at my previous job, and apparently no one knows a thing, as one would expect... Fortunately, I had already finished the game. But yeah, right now I'm waiting for some really cool sale to buy it again...
