Title says it all. Whats the worst? For me, Im split between

 

Buying a CX600w for a GTX 770 + i5 system (No overclocking)

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2  on Steam for 6 dollars. Even at a sub 10 dollar price point, the game is not worth it. ITS THAT BAD.

Alienware x51 and razer deathstalker.

My 280 kept dropping frams like Batman: Arkham Knight. I had to mod it for contrloller support. And wasn't it locked at 30FPS?

Really?  My Radon HD 6950 ran it at 60fps and it worked natively with my wired 360 controller.  Also, I never played it at launch so maybe this was stuff that got patched in?

No, I just bought it during the Steam sale. It doesn't work with wireless controller from what I've read.

Probably my 3ds. Would rather play Wii U or PC stuff. The new one got announced right after I bought it so I've neglected it since. Thinking about selling it as its collecting dust.

Battlefield 4

Battlefield Hardline.

 

 

Seeing those games in my library makes me feel like a battered housewife. "it's not their fault, I burnt the roast...." (family guy joke)

Ketchup is better than mustard.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

I was using it as a comparison to how bad Assassin's Creed 2 played.

iPod mini.

Bought while at uni because all the cool kids had one and it looked shiny and flashy and envy inducing. So I bought one. Played with it for less than a week, never touched it again since.

Henceforth I learned my lesson of the evils of Apple.

Diablo III collectors edition.

I had preordered this. Fortunately they released a demo. I played the demo. I cancelled my pre order.

Worst. Decision. Ever! ...

I should have kept the order and ebayed the sucker for double what I paid!

Win 8 laptop, shitty headset, refusing to spend 10 more dollars on a gpu so that way it would have a power connector so it can overclock (though thats not too bad) many games i've refunded on steam and ones i wish i could have refunded.

Seriously though, the old hp envy 15. Has a 2 star rating on amazon. As well as getting confused and buying a windfotce 3x (plastic shroud, no backplate, no illuminated logo) instead of a g1 gaming. I won the silicon lottery with it though. 1580 mhz.
