This. I didn't like Lost Valley much ;/
I also regret buying Home Town Story (I don't even know what I was thinking, the details on the box didn't even appeal to me but I gave it a chance anyway) and Tomodachi Life - Tomodachi I did actually enjoy, I just got bored of it after a very short while
Oh. SimCity 2013 too. Just...what a disappointment, I was such a fan of the SimCity games
the warning were all over the place, I was a fool

Just a dreamer who dreams of better days.
Mario Golf World Tour. I got it with the intention of playing with friends online, but I am godawful at it. No matter how good of a round I play, I can't beat the top AI on the first course. Meaning I am unable to even unlock any other course variations. I thought because I was decent at golf in Grand Theft Auto V that it might translate a bit to being decent at Mario Golf. How wrong I was. I'm considering selling it and seeing what I can get for it.
I also regret buying Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS. I like the stages that are exclusive to the 3DS version, but Super Smash Bros. was not created with a handheld like this in mind. From all the reports of broken circle pads, I'm terrified of trying to play it seriously and hold myself back. The only real reason I got it was so that I could have Mewtwo early, so I may as well just sell it too.

There's only one game that I truly REGRET purchasing, and that was Lego Marvel Superheroes on 3DS. Don't get me wrong, I ADORE that game - but not on 3DS. I though it was going to be exactly the same as my Xbox360 version, but just on a smaller screen. I was wrong. The camera stayed in pretty much one place, the gameplay was boring, and I just... I just sent it back. I just said "nope, it may be what I ordered but it isn't what I wanted."
I was also disappointed with Kinectimals for the Xbox360 Kinect. It wasn't as good as I was expecting, and Kinect doesn't seem to work too well. But it's really cute game, I'll give it that. I prefer Fantastic Pets.
And then there's Minecraft. I was sort of expecting better form such a popular game, but in all honest it's a little difficult to play on computer and I just get bored of it after a while. I haven't played it in ages, and maybe if I play the story mode I won't get as fed up, but in all honesty I just enjoy creating towns and patterns in Creative Mode. No hate on the game, it's great, original, and extremely well made; I don't regret buying it either, as I said. I just could live without it.

sims 3. i got it for my birthday (19th dec), played with it for 6 days until christmas (25th dec) when i got sims 4 (SO much better). it also broke my computer for a couple days and i was like 'nope bye bye'
i mean it's a great game and i could list all the differences (color wheel, open world, toddlers ect) but 4 is just more streamlined and has a better system for like everything (making mods, interface, emotions, create-a-sim) so yep. it came with a stuff pack and showtime and i also got the katy perry stuff pack with was pretty shiat tbh. all on origin for like $40 and took up like all my space on my harddrive and i was sick of it by then.

Ouch, quite a lot actually. But the ones that disappointed me the most was the two Professor Layton I played (I don't remember the first one, some with time travel and recently Miracle Mask) and both DS Zeldas and Four Swords as well.
The Beginner's Guide on Steam. I REALLY like Stanley Parable so I thought this one would be good too. This game's story made me uncomfortable, like I was intruding in someone's mind. I'm pretty sure that was the point but--- man, it wasn't... I just-- An hour after playing, I asked for a refund.

Hmmm too many to remember but I hate that I got Tomodachi Life haha I rarely play it like ever honestly, was into it for about 40 hours now just don't even touch it, I also regret a few others I am not sure with one of my Steam game called D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die like has 2 1/2 episodes and not sure I feel too into it Dx

attention gamers,
I regret buying a lot of games. The first game I ever got I got super into, and then when I bought another game I completely abandoned the first game and got super into the next one. And then I bought another game and abandoned the other game... And the cycle continues.
I had to rewrite this comment like 3 times what the heck TBT

People are talking about Tomodachi Life and yeah, I don't really play it anymore. Mainly because I made so many cringeworthy Miis of people I made up who didn't exist, and I don't want to delete them one by one. I also messed with the 3Ds clock for games like ACNL, and that caused Tomodachi Life to think I was cheating and I couldn't do much. In fact right now it's about a month or two behind and I know the same thing'll happen if I try to turn the clock back.
Fantasy Life I don't play much anymore mainly because I got tired of grinding. You have to grind for things to level up and it gets really boring. I'm at Demi Creator Miner and scince I don't have enough level to mine the rocks I need to get Creator Rank, I have to grind by chipping away at other rocks, which takes forever. And I need to catch specific fish for Legend Angler, I'm currently at Hero and although I'm at the proper level the right fish just won't spawn.
It's so annoying.

And also Super Smash Bros for the 3Ds. Since my L button doesn't work anymore playing is hard. The graphics aren't as good as the Wii U version and I just play it a lot less often. And I can't update the game on the 3Ds because not enough memory, so no online play.
