Games You're Embarressed to Own

Final Fantasy X-2
Master of Orion 3
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire
Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced (GBA)

Aside from the cheesy game-show spin game, the rest are games from good series that were were in my opinion, blasphemous creations.

MoO3 was horrible! ...so long, we waited... so long... and that was what we got? Believe me, I tried hard to like it... I really did.... It hurts, that deep hurt of dissappointment now that I think of it....

The other FF's need no comment....

There's one other game, but not even the anonymity of the Internet would allow me to post it's name...

The game that I was most embararressed to have in my posession was Guardian's Crusade. Good thing I traded it away with the rest of all my bad games. I think it's silly to be shy about owning a game even though I myself felt like that once. There are exceptions for it to not be silly like if you have a Barbie game.

Ahem ahh . . . actually no, nevermind, I'll let someone else tell you Sea God. :lol:

I used to have Guardian's Crusade. I traded it away like you did. It really wasn't bad. It was a filler game for me because Final Fantasy 9 (I think taht was the one) was new at the time. I played both games at the same time, so it was good to take turns.

The only thing I'm embarrassed about that game is the fact that I payed 47 dollars for it. The game is about 20 hours long, so that's two dollars an hour, pretty much. I've made worse purchases though.

I can think of two games that I truly wish I never bought:
Virtua Fighter 2 for the Genesis. What a truly horrible fighting game in every way possible. I do admire Sega for attempting to cram that game onto the Genesis, but damn. The graphics were horrible; the audio hurt my ears and the controls felt like if someone dropped a controller into a barrel of molasses.

Castlevania Legends for the original Game Boy. If you ever had the good fortune of playing Belmont's Revenge, then you'll definitely understand what a let down Legends is. Belmont's Revenge had good graphics, tight controls and good music. Legends had none of those things. Heck, it didn't even have any of the trademark Castlevania weapons. It did have some good bosses, but frankly I couldn't bring myself to play the game more than 5 times total. The only other way I can describe the game is that's is soooo dull. There's just no excitement to be had in the game. I had very high expectations for this game since I absolutely loved Belmont's Revenge, so I guess that's why it's even moreso of a disappointment.

I'll probably have to dig through my collection to see what other painful memories are in there, but I could never forget those two.

hmm let's see, like Sophita I also own the whole damn Mortal Kombat series, just because I loved the first two in the series so damn much. You would expect games to get better with time, but IMO MK2 is still the best of the lot. Correction, I don't own Deception yet, but I probably will :S.

I also own Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest, but I love that game, it's fantastic when you're 6 years old.

My most embarrasing game would probably be some Digimon one I bought, which is now a coaster.

I used to own Pokemon Snap - but that was quite addictive, but for shame anyway. I don't own it now.

Pokemon Snap is an awesome game, dood. I keep on trying to buy that and the N64 off a a friend of mine, but he refuses to sell.

Now, for the games I'm embarassed to own-

Digimon World 2, 3: Okay, listen. I like Digimon. I like the show. I liked the first game. I still buy the manga of the first two seasons when I have the cash. But Digimon World 2 is the worst game in my roster. I was suckered into it with dreams of rolling around luch green fields scattered with plugs and vending machines in my DigiBeetle, blasting away enemy Digimon with a gun turret and deploying my own team of three Digimon to fight when the mood struck me. The opening reinforced these dreams. But augh... it makes me want to cry, how bad this game is. The graphics were of nothing. I'd like to say they were bad, but seriously, the graphics displayed nothing. There were walls, and a floor, and the Beetle thing, and some blackness off to all sides. What's worse is that the further into the game you progress, the longer you have to spend in these terrible, terrible dungeons of tediousness. Digimon World 3 was just boring.

Krawnik, I believe it was Digimon World 2 that plagued me as well, I feel your pain.

I like the idea of this thread, hope nobody minds a revival.

After looking through all the posts the ones that caugt my eye were: iscalio, Ice, and punchdoll. Now theres NO shame in owning Chip & Dale, Wind Waker, or Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen hehe. Those are all classics you need not be embarassed about. Its okay, its not like they are a Dead or Alive game or anything..

UFC Throwdown for Playstation 2: This game is really really bad. I still don't know why I bought it. When I look at the CD I almost cry. "My moneeeeey! ahhh..."

Mafia for Playstation 2 : Why I still have it? Why I still didn't destroyed this annoying game? Why? WHY? Because I can't find it. But I know that I own it, and I know I'm embarressed.

After taking a long look through my video game collection, I have come to regard the following titles as somewhat embarrassing:

Like Blasphemy, I own Master of Orion 3, which may be the worst sequel of all time. I don't understand how they could go from the relatively streamlined and fun Master of Orion 2 to such a ponderous heap of suck. I also tried very, very hard to like it...I wanted more Master of Orion so badly...but the game has no redeeming qualities whatsoever, and is best forgotten.

Also, I own Final Fantasy X-2, which is a mixture of mediocre RPG and dress-up dolls. I suppose it's not that bad...but I'm embarrassed to admit to owning half of my Square-Enix titles, so...I suppose this isn't the only game that I think Square-Enix should be ashamed of.

I think that might be it. I own a lot more embarrassing CDs and movies than I do games. Most of my SNES titles, even if they are a bit tacky, I can't call embarrassing because they're so oldschool and loveable.

I'd say either my Final Fantasy X-2 or Unlimited Saga games. FFX-2 because it was nothing but hype and dress-up, and Unlimited Saga cuz I did'nt look for reviews beforehand and I bought the game because it looked "neat".ugh

There are a few games I own that I am embarressed to have, for a start Alundra 2 has to be the biggest one. The first game was awesome, one of the saddest RPGs I've played... ever. Then along comes the sequel which had essentially NOTHING similar except maybe the bush sprites... I got pretty far through it anyway before being defeated by stupid jumping puzzles. This game should never have been called Alundra! NEVER!

All of the Dragon Ball games I have... I mean the story is 20 years old yet I still like a good fanboy bought DBZ game after game, all of them boring as hell with crappy graphics and the slowest most awkward fighting systems ever. When my nephews started talking to me about DBZ I realised I should move on XD

I guess I could also say Suikoden 4 ( in Japanese ). I'm not saying that GS4 is bad, I like the game but I had it in Japanese well before it was available here in PAL, yet got completely lost since I didn't understand a word of it. I got the Japanese LE for the extras and I love them, still a game I don't understand..? Not that I'm learning, I've ordered the Japanese LE of Suiko 5 as well! XD
