I'll admit. I occasionally have a problem buying things on impulse. Sometimes this ends well, such as in the case of Devil May Cry 3 and Resident Evil 4. Sometimes this ends poorly, which usually results in me losing money because I will never play these games or have sold them back already. Hopefully, this doesn't lead to me buying expensive cars and houses that I can't afford like the rest of America, but that's a few years away. List is in no particular order. Note that some games I haven't even gotten super invested in, such as Gothic and STALKER are not on here because they at least still have the potential of not being a horrendous waste of money. I guess Final Fantasy Tactics also goes in here, even though I bought that game like a year ago and never got anywhere with it.
Also note that Arcanum is not on here. For whatever reason, I feel like I at least got my money's worth out of it, the fact that it's not great aside.

Cost: around $8 for Freedom Force and Sequel. One of my earliest Steam purchases, I was honestly surprised how much I hate this game from the 2 hours or so that I played of it, considering the universal critical praise it received. Maybe I'm playing it wrong?
Cost: $20 ish Resold for around $10. I like old RPGs. You know this. What I don't like are games that deliberately attempt to be like they were designed in 1983. I'm sure it gets better the farther you get in the dungeon, but the initial difficulty was simply way too much.
Cost: $40 Resold for around $25. I hope this is self explanatory, if not, Far Cry 2 is not a good game, and it's one I spent plenty of regretful hours in. It's a big open world with nothing to do in it except drive and fight enemies, all which makes the game longer than it has any right to be. AND IT'S SO BORING
Cost: $6 for ROA 1 and 2. Yeah. Just read my DOS blog. I actually think the 3rd one is of genuine value though, crazy german ruleset aside.
Cost: $30, resold for around $10. The DS port of JA is not good. The controls for one are awful. Oh, and it's also JAGGED ALLIANCE. I also have the PC version. (cost $10) It's slightly better. BUT IT'S STILL JAGGED ALLIANCE.
Cost: $7.50 (on sale). Ugh...
Cost: $3 for all 3 Ishar games (thankfully, on sale). See: 3rd DOS blog. Everything that is bad about RPGs from that era.
Cost: $12 Resold at around $6. I don't like Dead Rising. It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why.
Cost: $10. Yo, it's like Disciples 2. Except not nearly as good.
Cost: $7 (on sale) A curiosity piece, that I will NEVER play again.
