Fastest purchase and return of a game.
 
I set a personal best for myself. I bought Over G Fighters for the Xbox 360 this past wednesday afternoon and brought it back thursday morning. Maybe a little under 20 hours I've had it. Second fastest was Delta Force Black Hawk Down for the Xbox which I had for day and change.

Anybody else buy a game, played it, hate it, and brought it back really fast?

WWF Royal Rumble (DC)

A wrestling game on Dreamcast that was even more arcadier than the SmackDown! series it was spawned from. We played it and tried to like it... But the bare bones options and thin gameplay engine made us take it back in a day.

Blitz 07-06-2006 03:53 PM

Never taken a game back.

Rent before you buy, kids.

Disturbed316 07-06-2006 04:30 PM

My fastest return was about 20 seconds, when I got out the shop, opened it up and noticed they gave me the wrong version of the game.

Fucking idiots.

Same here. Or I hunt down demos.

Skippord 07-06-2006 05:07 PM

I dont take games back unless they dont work

Kalyx triaD 07-06-2006 05:08 PM

I was young, crazy about WWF, impulsive; give me a break.

Well, the fact that it was released as an Arcade release as well would explain that.

Kalyx triaD 07-06-2006 05:31 PM

Well damn; ever heard of Console Exclusives? We were banking on that. Especially after Soul Calibur (maybe the greatest arcade-to-home conversion ever).

Xero 07-06-2006 05:33 PM

A lot of Dreamcast games were almost direct ports including the Crazy Taxi franchise.

Stickman 07-06-2006 05:38 PM

I bought High Heat 2004 (Something like that) saying I needed a baseball game for xbox. Played it three times to make sure it sucked then I returned it.

But it worked in that case. We kept Crazy Taxi.

Blitz 07-06-2006 07:49 PM

Dreamcast is The Man.

Gonna start replaying Shemue tonight.

ClockShot 07-06-2006 08:12 PM

Shenmue was great. I played Shenmue 2 and still holding on to it. Waiting, just waiting, for number 3 to come out.

Blitz 07-06-2006 08:20 PM

Got Shenmue 2 as well. I'm replaying 1 before I play it for the first time.

Fucking idiots.

Mine's like 5 minutes. I got on the bus, opened Burnout Revenge, and noticed some other stupid ass driving game was in it. I rang the bell, got off, and walked back. The end.

Kalyx triaD 07-06-2006 08:58 PM

Employee mistakes aren't the same as returning bad games.

#BROKEN Hasney 07-08-2006 02:51 AM

Ping Pals on DS. 30 seconds as I played it while waiting for the bus.

Xero 07-08-2006 10:57 AM

LOL, people actually bought Ping Pals?

nhl 2k6 for 360. About 5 days. Terrible game.

*edit, not that bad, but it wasnt 3rd gen quality to me. Is EA making another hockey game?

Boomer 07-08-2006 08:21 PM

I bought a DDR pad. Returned it an hour later. I don't know why I even tried.

Kane Knight 07-09-2006 09:51 AM

I played DDR once in an arcade.

toxic rooster 07-09-2006 10:19 AM

About 2 and a half hours.

I couldn't decide between High Heat and All Star Baseball, went with High Heat. Took it home, realised it sucked and was playing All Star about 3 hours later.

Yes, 2007. 2K Sports were the ones that make 2k6 however. In which case, they too are making another in 2k7.

World Series of Poker

Smackdown vs Raw 2006, PSP Version

Played it for about 30mins, half of that was loading times. Awful.

Team Sheep 07-09-2006 04:49 PM

Probably Lego Racers on N64. Finished it in a day.

PSP as a portable console is generally awful. It's a laundry list of bad ideas and okay ideas done better elsewhere.

Evil Vito 07-12-2006 11:02 AM

<font color=goldenrod>Haven't returned a game. Gonna cash in all my PS2 games in a few weeks tho. Shame I'll only get a dollar at most for most of them (which is what sucks about being a huge sports gamer)</font> :o

El Fangel 07-12-2006 04:41 PM

You....Returned.....Final..Fantasy..6...?

*knocks on Angles Head* "Anything in here"

Unless it is hazardous to your health, life and well being.
and even if you hate 2d games, never, ever return a game that good.
