Oh wait this is old LOL
Three comes into mind immediately:
1) final fantasy XV. This was another majorly hyped game, in the brewing for over a decade and failed to deliver up to expectation. The gameplay itself was fine, open world map what not and cool graphics, but the story is a major let down. I’ve seen the infamous 2013 trailers, of what was then final fantasy versus xiii - looked like a complete different game to be honest if not for the character design. Too bad we could only speculate what it could’ve been had tetsuya Nomura continued on the project. this one disappointed me the most, because I paid full price for the game on release day and it was a major let down.
2) Pokémon moon - I still haven’t play the game so that speaks to my interest about it. Only really bought it because a friend bought sun. And now none of us is playing... what a waste of money
3)animal crossing happy home designer - yeah I can’t even find the game. High chance it’s lost during my move a couple years ago. Bought it on a whim expecting I love it as much as new leaf. I guess I’m just not super into the sidegames of animal crossing? The game play was pretty routine and boring to me. Did not find it as engaging as the main title and I stopped playing probably after decorating 6 houses

I bought some weird mario vs donkey kong: mini land mayhem and literally played it for maybe 2 minutes.

Scribblenauts on the Switch. I like the idea and it’s cute, but since I have a Switch Lite and am the only person in my family who plays any sort of Nintendo Games, it can be quite boring having to play solo in sandbox-style games. It is a bit fun to cause chaos in worlds though.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I really wanted to love it but ultimately, it was a waste of my money

Just chilling
I bought human fall flat and it was fun it was on sale and I got a dlc for free but now that I look at it I wasted my money on it I played it for like two weeks and I was done with it I wish I could get my money back but I purchased it online in the Nintendo store

Gra-ah-ah! This is BOWSA 'eah!
Sonic Heroes: I loved Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 to death. Then I played Heroes, and I hated it so much that I've never picked up another new Sonic game that came out after it. It burned me that bad.
Pokemon Coliseum: What I was expecting was an upgraded Pokemon Stadium game with better graphics and 3rd generation Pokemon. What I got was an entirely new story-based game. I didn't find the snag & purify gameplay fun, and, in the end, all I wanted was just a simple single player battling and tournament simulator where I could upload and use my own Pokemon, rather than be stuck with whatever I can manage to capture from other players. IIRC there was local multiplayer that worked more like a traditional stadium type game, but at the time I didn't have any friends who were into Pokemon and lived close enough to play local multiplayer, so that was out. Just like Sonic Heroes, it burned me so bad that I never bought another Pokemon console game (Battle Revolution, XD/Gale of Darkness, Pokemon Channel, etc.) again.
Pokemon Conquest: Another Pokemon spinoff game! I was so excited for this game before it came out... as a long-time fan of Pokemon and games like Fire Emblem and Final Fantasy Tactics, I thought the concept was ingenious. I could say a lot about this game, but... to make a very long story short, it didn't live up to my expectations. I played through the main story all the way (mostly because it's short), but I don't think I've ever been so disappointed by a Pokemon game. My hopes hadn't been set as high for Coliseum, that's for sure.
Heroes of Might and Magic 4: My experience with this game was a lot like my experience with Sonic Heroes. I bought, played, and loved HoMM2. I loved HoMM3 even more, so much more, that it made going back to 2 hard. HoMM4 was such a drastic and baffling step backwards, that I was shocked. The graphics were so much worse, and there were really odd gameplay choices... for example, I really hated that building certain buildings locked you out of others while building your castle. Like Sonic Heroes, I hated this game so much that I've never played any other HoMM game that came after it in the series.
Kingdom Hearts 2: Probably a somewhat controversial choice, but as someone who straight up adored the original Kingdom Hearts, I just did not find myself enjoying the second game. Levels were too long, I didn't like the choice of worlds (especially Tron world), and by the end of the game, I just had to sadly admit that I wasn't having fun anymore. Like some of the above games, I was so burned out by this installment that I never played another Kingdom Hearts game.
Street Fighter 5 Champion Edition: I wanted to try a new, contemporary fighting game, but the truth is that I just can't mesh with 3D Street Fighter.
Bubsy 3D: Yes, I bought this game. I didn't know anything about it at the time... I just saw it at the video game store and remembered how much I used to love the original Bubsy on SNES. Needless to say... I was not pleased with what I got.
There's probably more, but these are the biggest offenders for me...

Kingdom hearts dream drop distance
Nothing wrong with the kh series
But after playing the first 2 games the gba chain of memories and the psp birth by sleep
I think i may have got tired of tbe same plot twists and confusions that makes impossible to connect the games
Also, dream drop distance is overwhelming with stuff to do and aconplish
In my opinion the combat is awesome and soubdtrack amazinf
But the lack of continuity makewnthis game without a place to stay
Ninja gaiden sigma was another failure for me
I just couldnt get better in the game
Insee so many people arguing that tbe souls series is hardcore
They dont even scratch a bug in the ninja gaiden franchise
The games are sonintense you absolutely need real ninja reflexes amd the game punishes you whitout having saving spots to restart after certain acomplishments

a couple of months ago i bought story of seasons: friends of mineral town on the switch because it looked like my favourite childhood game (harvest moon: a tale of two towns for the ds)
it cost me almost £50 and i got about 10 hours on it before getting bored, so that was a waste of money
also that adventure time game, pirates of the enchiridion on the switch
i've loved adventure time since i was a child and have seen every single episode so i figured there was no reason for me to not like this game but i didn't
and finally yokai watch 2: psychic specters for the 3ds, i used to love this game and i got so much play out of it but now unfortunately i don't play it
i don't really wanna go into all the chaos that made me actually hate this game so much but i am so annoyed at myself for buying it

bogos binted? 👽
i bought aliens colonial marines when it was on sale for $5 and if you ask me that is still $5 too much
though it gave me and a friend at the time a good laugh so i guess it was worth something
also yeah pokemon battle revolution was pretty boring imo
there was also jurassic: the hunted on the ps3 that i got for christmas one year and it sucked

Ark Survival on PC because it's still laggy and slow as the PS4 version.
(Wow this thread is ancient. I’m surprised there were a few users that are still active here!)
There are so many video games I regret buying. The game I regret buying the most was “The Suite Life With Zach and Cody” for the DS. I had just gotten into video games and was obsessed with the Disney sitcom. Like the gullible 8 year old I was, I bought shovelware. The graphics were hideous, the charm of the show was completely gone, and the controls were so clunky. I think it was the first game I ever returned to the store.

The Witcher games imo
