Buying DayZ standalone early access.

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Dubs are better than subs

Getting into first person shooters. COD/BF specifically, being somewhat realistic. Seeing some of the crap that is done in these games, using real tactic and experience rarely pays off  especially in BF.

Giving up on Witcher 2....... twice

well not exactly giving up, last year and now when I was playing Witcher 2 I had problem with pc and after fixing the problem 7-8 days later I didn't go back to Witcher 2. Same this time, psu is out for replacement and they told me it will be 10-12 days, by that time I would have forgotten what I was doing in the game :P

Finally got PS4 Pro

As far as the PC goes: Buying that switcher game on Steam. Doesn't even start up. All I get is a black screen.

 

 

Which game?

 

Spent over 500$ on games? Don't you even pirate bro? (haters in 3,2,1...)

All hail the Pirates. Arrgh matey !

 

Also this pic made me giggle :D

@topic: Not learning how to DEV mmo's i played on in private servers. Would of served me handily in assisting in an IT career. Might be doing that right now instead of pursuing a career in the Armed Forces. Meh, hindsight is a bitch.

- Buying games on steam and never or barely playing them

- Not having built a high-end PC sooner

Playing COD MW2. 50 bucks down the drain.

Test ideas by experiment and observation; build on those ideas that pass the test, reject the ones that fail; follow the evidence wherever it leads and question everything.

Paying Elder Scrolls on an xbox.

Skipping school so much to get home earlier to play.

Playing more than I should instead of studying.

All of these are equally regrettable.

Knowledge is power, guard it well.

It seems most people's biggest gaming regret is gaming too much haha. I don't game that much, but my regret has to be buying a gaming laptop.

Buying "Limited Edition" copies of games when I played on console (COD MW2:Prestige, BO1:Prestige, etc)

In all of my 25 plus years spent gaming... I have far too many regrets to list out here. I have done things, been things and seen things that defy belief.

 

Maybe this is an apt quote:

"I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe... Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time, like tears... in... rain."

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

Which game?

Sorry about the late reply. Was a bit busy...

 

The game is called "The Swapper", actually.

 

I don't really play many games for gameplay anymore honestly. I play most games just for the graphics.
