I regret pre-ordering Aliens: Colonial Marines!
I sold Suikoden I-V for a very high price a few years ago and regret it every time I look at my game shelf.
I can't believe I spent good money on Majora's Mask.
I have the complete set (excepting Tactics and sidestories). I will probably never, ever sell them no matter how much they climb in price.Quote:

And I can't believe I associate with you. :colbert:Quote:

Playing Symphony Of The Night
Now I will never be impressed by a 2D game again.
I did not buy Xenoblade Chronicles or Last Story and now I cannot find them anywhere for a decent price.
I wish I had all my old SNES and 64 boxes and booklets. I only have the cartridges.
I regret not spending more time on vidya when I had the free time.
WHY ARE WE FRIENDS?!Quote:

Jesus, and I thought I paid a lot for Suikoden II. (Actually, compared to most people, I didn't pay much, but still). :< I guess that can be added to my list of regrets as well.Quote:

The Last Story looks to be available for reasonable prices on eBay still unless you want the limited edition. Those are all ridiculous. You can also get the standard edition on Amazon for $30.
>>> Never got a copy of Valkyrie Profile Lenneth..:luca:
I got Suikoden II for $29.99. :aimsun: I beat the first one and they had the second waiting for me to buy at FuncoLand. Good times.
Don't buy Xenoblade online...they did release an NTSC version for half the price which is stocked at most brick and mortar outlets.
Like Sephex, it's the backlog. I regret buying games and never playing them, or at least, not playing far enough into them. Also, I regret not finishing Suikoden, because that means I still have to bother finishing Suikoden before I sell it for a tidy sum, and I can't be bothered. :(
I regret playing some games too much and not spending more time learning how to paint, play guitar, skateboarding and such.
Sonic O6. Enough said.
yeah this tooQuote:

I got xenoblade at a secondhand gaming store for like 20 bucks ._.
Still regret buying it
Want to sell me your copy?
I regret devoting my life to video games. I should have gotten a handle on my habit four years ago. I don't game much anymore, but it just feels too little too late.
In the right hands, this game can be hilarious (if you don't watch the whole thing, skip to the snowboarding part).Quote:

I regret that I spent 6000 hours playing WoW when I could have spent a good 5000 of those hours playing other games.
I regret that I do not play enough games as it is. Recently I was averaging about 50 hours a week and that wasn't bad but I've slipped lately ugh
I regret putting so much time into Persona P3P only to figure out that I don't like it. 50 hours wasted that I could have used playing the Suikoden series or other games on my PSP.
Here's a tip about gamestop and getting Xenoblade or last story. If you go into one and ask for it and they don't have and they try to do a web in store order. They wont find it. They'll say "sorry out of luck!" But usually they can look up by store location if one has one. If you cause enough, "i really want this it's for my niece and she really wants" or whatever bull and ask if they can get another store to ship it. Then usually at least one store in the district or the surrounding districts will have one. They can call and ask if they can send it. Then you'll have to wait a few days for shipping but you'll only have to pay that preowned gamestop price. I just had to do this with both those games for a customer. I had to call two different stores to get them but we got them.
I regret having wasted so much time playing video games. :(
Only slightly regret not recording all my vids, but at least I did for most of them.
I'd love to know how you can rationalize away the existence of mental illnesses when you yourself have one :eyebrow:Quote:

Kaycee find me Xenoblade and send it to me pls
There's a few widely-beloved games I've played that just didn't jive with me, but I still appreciate having experienced what they did for gaming at the time.Quote:

Play it, since it isn't nearly as rare as Xenoblade.
Not buying Tekken 3 for PS1 when I saw it at EB Games for a cheap price a few years ago. I've bought Tekken 5 since then, and it includes the arcade versions of the first three games, which is close enough.
I also kinda regret getting my PS2 so late (2008!), so I missed out on a lot of its big games. I've been working on my collection lately.
Finally, losing my copy of Pokemon Pearl that I had sunk hundreds upon hundreds of hours into. :^(
Why is Xenoblade so damn expensive?
Because it's a great game and they didn't make enough copies to satisfy demand.
That makes sense. I knew I should have gone with my gut and bought it because I thought that sword looked cool.
Because it only came through gamestop and event hat was a hard thing to get done. And they didn't make enough. it was at the end of the wii's lifecycle so welp. Yah.
It's strange that you're saying the wii's life cycle is at it's end. xD I've played all of two games on the damn thing and I've had it since 2010 DX
The WiiU is already out. There aren't really any games being made/released for the Wii anymore. Everything is moving to the WiiU.
Are these new people or people "upgrading"? o_OQuote:

The PS2 also wasn't five years out of date the day it launched.Quote:
