OT: Game You Bought

Ever? This is my usual experience. But then, since I've been playing games since the Atari 2600 (and still play the best games, not the newest), my standards are pretty high. Actually though, I guess really I usually figure out a game isn't going to be fun for me before I actually buy it, so I don't

Recent extreme cases:

Stronghold (egad, so much effort, and many good ideas, but utterly disappointing in execution [a few good points, but all undermined by the bad])

Silent Hunter II (Aces of the Deep is still better in most ways that matter)
