Preordered a certain sequel purely on hype alone and it launched in a genuinely broken state that took months of patches before it became the game it was actually advertised as

Curious what people's own full price regret purchase actually is, the one that taught you to genuinely wait for reviews before buying anything again

Preordered a certain open world game purely on marketing hype, launched buggy and hollow, took nearly a year of patches before it became worth what I paid

Bought a sequel at launch expecting the same quality as the original, turned out to be a rushed cash grab that soured me on the whole franchise

Paid full price for a remaster that turned out to be barely different from the original, felt like a blatant nostalgia cash grab in hindsight
COYB - you know who you are

Preordered based purely on a beloved developer's reputation alone, turned out to be their weakest release in years and I felt foolish for not waiting

Paid full price for a game with a broken launch that made it borderline unplayable for the first month, should have waited for reviews like I always tell myself I will next time

Plateau70

Preordered a game based purely on a single flashy trailer, turned out to be repetitive and hollow once the initial impressive visuals wore off
