GAMING REGRETS - Happy Console Gamer

[@notvinley]

Might not see this, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate how enthusiastically you talk about things, not just this particular video. It's probably been my favorite aspect about most of your videos, you just talk about a lot of your experiences with a lot of enthusiasm which make your videos really entertaining.

[@Reztral]

My biggest regret would be throwing away the boxes and stuff from my NES and SNES games.

[@Jon-eo1lz]

We all did that at the time. I have a memory of my dad throwing them away to save space.

[@allenantonio4389]

yup

[@kosmosyche]

Dude. I regret even unpacking games. The hell was I thinking??? 😆

[@threeswordssama]

I still remember trading in all the old stuff to get a new console. Kinda just had to do it to make it affordable. I hated getting pennies from Gamestop for all the games that I had really good times with. Even then I kinda felt like we should have hung on to some of it but hindsight is 20-20 at this point.

[@StrikingMachine]

XBox' biggest regrets: -never creating a portable system -buying smaller companies, only to not use their skills afterwards -stupid names: 360, ONE, X1X, wtf -going out of business..

[@MrBergste]

The Xbox One is probably my biggest regret. Day one, $500, no games. Exactly one year later, November 22nd 2014, the console was selling for $350 WITH two games. That very day I vowed to NEVER purchase a new console on day one ever again.

[@zemaduvant8676]

When I was 19 I traded my ps1 collection for a ps2. I owned almost every ps1 jrpg.

[@colevanhoogenstyn9322]

I feel this. Being too young to work and being obsessed with video games is a bad combo

[@freewilliam93]

Damn man ...

[@jawsofwar]

Ouch I get it though at that age you don’t have a lot of money

[@metawanderer]

I did the same thing too, while didn't own every ps1 rpg, I did owned some rare titles now including Einhander.

[@ladynikkie]

I understand we were all hyped for the PS2 back in the day. I gave my PS1 collection to my sister's friend who was going away up north and one of those games was Klonoa door to phantomville and I didn't understand how rare that game was a tiny part of me regret giving that game away but later on it was going to a better home so I said no.

[@GamesofFuturesPast]

1.Buying Lunar DS 2. Getting Resident Evil 6 at a midnight release 3. Selling my copy of Parasite Eve in 2018 for like 15 dollars. 4. Not buying more games when I was younger!

[@coveredinthorns7185]

I also got Lunar and was disappointed but still cool to have.

[@DewlayLomo]

That RE6 one is hit to the gut

[@JazGalaxy]

About not buying more games when I was younger, I DEFINITELY regret not buying a few games that later would have netted me a ton of money, like my Blockbuster selling a copy of Dragonball GT on PS1 when the nobody knew what Dragonball was yet. Even just a few years later it could have earned me hundreds of dollars.

[@matiasjauhojarvi9551]

I like Resident Evil 6. The story of Chris campaign is amazing. Sure it was a lot more action than previous games but I still liked it.

[@GamesofFuturesPast]

@@DewlayLomo there was a sports game releasing that same night and I remember thinking: “damn I can’t believe this many people are here for RE6.” Lmao

[@rednoggy]

Think we've all had that "It was calling to me" moment lol

[@GameFreak4Ever]

So can relate. 😂

[@josecarlosdavila1663]

I regret getting out of gaming for dental school. I missed the ps3 and ps4 eras… what brought me back to the hobby was the Nintendo switch. Since then I’ve been gaming full force, even at my job waiting for patients to arrive, I bring a DS or switch with me. Now, I’m buying games for the consoles I did not play then (xbox360, ps3).

[@JoshuaMartinez12]

You have a great career now. Solid exchange. What you gaming on DS?

[@ImAkira..]

The 360 era is so peak

[@JazGalaxy]

For me, I strongly disagree. I feel like that was the worst general era of games. Generic, blend shooting games with washed out graphics. And Japan was Ankh Ing out garbage like lost planet trying to compete with western shooters. It was a bleak time. But if you liked the genre that was on top then I can see how it would’ve been really great.

[@swizzywaffles2478]

​@@JazGalaxyI don't get your point. There were tons of good games back then besides shooters and it was the last generation where couch coop was celebrated

[@brianwright9215]

[@EastyyBlogspot]

Gaming regrets usually for me is...selling my old games....and the big one getting rid of the retro game mags I had from the 80s and 90s, I had Crash, Your Sinclaire, ACE, Games master,CVG,Mean machines etc

[@arcadeutopia3035]

Sorry for your loss mate 🙏

[@RoninAM]

Same here. I actually started buying old EGM issues to put in my game room.

[@KSWAN1287]

Getting rid of my Nintendo GameCube gameboy advance player and start up disc. It still haunts me. I’ll always regret that decision

[@jackgray122]

Same. I put it up on eBay and I usually have a set price, but this time I did bidding. Only one person bid and I sold it for $80. 😅

[@JayRock21122]

Same here guys. Haunts me too, I think about that like once a week. lol.

[@secondchance6603]

My biggest regret was losing sight in one eye and not getting to experience VR.

[@mig1017]

Man, I wish I kept my Gamecube

[@shadowaccount]

I've come across more disappointments than regrets. As I got older, I quit falling for trailer hype in general (movies, shows, games). I haven't bought a game full price at launch since Red Dead 2 (before that, probably something on PS3) , and never pre order anything. I just don't have expectations with anything anymore. I end up not being disappointed, and it's worked out well for me the last 10 or so years. The way the internet is now, it's too easy to get all the information you would ever need before wasting money and regretting it.

[@Damackism]

Facts!

[@chrishosa7983]

You read my mind

[@patrickcarr7464]

I remember when you made the VR2 video and how you loved it. One of my first thoughts was, “Let’s if he’s still thinking that way in a year.”

[@gryzor6421]

By far, my biggest gaming regret was not playing the Dreamcast enough while it was still on the market. I can still remember all th games I rented: Sonic Adventure, Sega Bass Fishing, RE- Code Veronica, Legacy of Kain-Soul Reaver, Air Force Delta, Evolution 2, MDK2, and SF3-3rd Strike, which was the last one. On a side note, I never knew the Turbografx16 was a thing until 2001, lol.

[@newgameaaaa]

Look at what games got ported to other systems and play them there. In Happyconsolegamer last episode, he talked about a Capcom collection coming out that had the Powerstone games on it. There is Shenmue 1 and 2 on the PS4. Sonic adventure I think has a port on the Gamecube, and xbox 360. There is a game on the xbox 360 called dreamcast collection.

[@hellboundTX333]

Not collecting Saturn when I started my collection 20 years ago.

[@dreamcatchers7777]

My dad had cancer near the end of his life. I still had somethings left at his house since i moved out in my mid twenties. Once in awhile, he had those gigantic mood swings and tantrums. I had 3 full boxes of nintendo power magazines and other relics of my childhood in my old bedroom closet. One day, he litterally had one of his moments and put all those boxes for the garbage trucks to pick them up. Sometimes, it stings thinking about my treasures... but I'd trade anything off of my videogame collection or all of it to have one more day with him. Regrets of not having spent enough time with him and shutting myself from him in that old room for days and months when I was younger...

[@Icza]

It's just stuff in the end. I tossed gaming related things when I moved out of my parents home and later got into the idea of collecting game stuff. It bugs me when I remember it and then realize; what was I gonna do with it anyway? It was gonna sit there.

[@BloodyEyeGamer]

In grade 9 I had saved up couple hundred dollars from doing odd jobs & was planning on buying some new games. Went to Toys r Us and somehow had talked myself into buying the SuperScope for the SNES with the pack in game collection. Got home & played it for about an hour, and then the buyers remorse set in. The fact that it took 6 double-A batteries to function & the lack of games available disappointed me. I remember feeling so let down by the whole experience in general. Thank goodness I was able to go back and exchange it the next day & ended paying a bit more to get a Sega Genesis with Sonic 2, best decision ever!

[@kennylauderdale_en]

Keeping games in a basement. Lost a lot of my stuff to a flood.

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Damn!

[@threeswordssama]

Right now my biggest regret is buying as many digital games for my Switch as I have. Can't beat the convenience but I really prefer to have a physical copy and a box for my gaming shelf. I didn't understand the value of buying physical games for the Switch until I bought a second Switch for the kids to play on. I quickly realized what a pain in the ass it is to share games that I "own" when I only have a digital version.

[@shamus3477]

Everything is going digital now anyway

[@paulnewhouse5126]

Playing some Visions of Mana while now also watching a HCG video, Perfect Sunday !:)

[@originoa]

Best feeling

[@gothard5]

I hated the demo, but I am really enjoying the main game so far. I hated the demo because it did not start from the very beginning of the main story. It took me 5 hours or so to get to where the demo started.

[@dx-px3zg]

It’s a great game!!! Playing it myself.

[@jlscurry]

My biggest gaming regret: when I went off to college, my cousin wanted to “borrow” a bunch of my PS1/PS2 games that I didn’t take with me. Of course they grabbed the most interesting stuff. Never saw it again. We’re talking long boxes of Twisted Metal, Loaded…the original Tony Hawk games, Crash trilogy, GTAs, Namco Museum Volumes with the letters on the cases. Most of these games I could just buy again but it’s the principle of the matter…

[@DaRoachDoggJrr]

Unrelated to the video but i’d just like to say i discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago and you’re immediately among my favorite youtubers. You got me wanting to play jrpg’s now, i started tales of arise, and i’m going to play secret of mana for the first time with my dad, so thank you for your passion for games.

[@saynotop2w]

When I was a dumb teen I was stuck in a loop of selling games when I ran out of money and bought when I could afford them. Games were sold for so little that it wasn't ever really justified, but when your bank account is in double digits every penny mattered. Now I penny pinch in other areas than on my beloved past time. Learning to cook for myself and freezing leftovers helps.

[@Eagleknight815]

"I'm a fan, but you're taking up space on the shelf and I don't love you..." Dude, I felt that 💯!

[@TeamLinux01]

Having the Fear Of Missing Out when buying games over the years. I bought so many games that I thought I would be interested in before I made the purchase, but then didn't want to put the time into it right away, so I told myself I would get to it later. I spent so much money on games that I could have just waited and bought a remakr/remaster for less by the time I got around to playing it. I would have played more demos and used rental services and I would have been willing to sell more of my games after I experienced them. Collecting got me into a lot of trouble, mainly with physical space and maintaining the games and systems. I have sold most of my games now, keeping old the things I really enjoy. Since I do most of my gaming on the Steam Deck now, it is very easy to add a game to my wish list and then really scrutinize it before finally making the purchase. I usually only purchase when it is discounted as well. I still have so much entertainment that I am content most of the time with what I have access to nowadays.

[@B.WeirdGaming]

For sure, the Ouya

[@sawyerthereal]

I love my VR2 but I only use it for Grand Turismo with my racing rig and it's amazing for that. Other games not so much.

[@polystrate1]

The VR2 screens aren't very good for gaming

@@loudoesreviews small sweet spot is a huge issue. Also, the halo effect and other distortions of fresnel lens. I doubt any company will use those crap lenses going forward and sony will bow out of the vr industry with the V2 failure.

Gaming regret is buying special edition of games that I didn't end up playing more than an hour... .hack/GU and sakuna....

[@theretrogamerno1]

I was 11 years old and a young Retro Gamer at a flea market and I saw a NEO GEO with around 12 CIB games.. Dude wanted 25 for the whole set and my Dad was willing to get it for me but he said you know we don't know if it works... so I didn't insist and walked... Will never forget that.

[@theimmortalanimelove]

I think my buying regrets in more recent times are getting games full price right before they get massively discounted on sale. But also buying certain limited editions for the artbook, only for it to be 45 pages and more of a manual/pamphlet. But I will never forget the time that I had stayed up all night refreshing Best Buy so that I could purchase the Fire Emblem Fates limited edition only for paypal to not load fast enough

[@SuperHighTechGamer]

My biggest gaming regret was throwing away all the game magazines I grew up with, including Nintendo Power and Die Hard Game Fans. Still hurts.

[@stucazzo2000]

-Buying Bubsy the Bobcat on the SNES and never trading it in for some reason -Bough Earthbound at launch, sold it CIB (Players guide, big box) for $7 or $14 (still have the receipt) So I hate seeing everyone's Eartbound box in the background. Reminds me of my failure. -Loaning out my Sega CD with SNATCHER and never getting my stuff back.

[@JazGalaxy]

My biggest gaming regret, I think was not buying a Virtual Boy when it was on closeout for 40 dollars at Toys R Us. They had entire endcaps full and they were basically just throwing them away. At the time I felt like it wasn't even worth the 40 bucks but I always regretted it.

[@cappnplanetcappnplanet3237]

It's very fun and I got mine at Blockbuster for $30. The games were $3. I regret not buying more. Many years later (2009) I bought some on eBay and some systems for ~$75. Now i regret that I didn't buy more of them.

[@lawrenceragnarok1186]

I regret selling my dreamcast with skies of Arcadia, miss that system and game

[@ezioauditore4061]

Selling some of my favorite complete SNES games many years ago that are worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars now is my biggest regret.

[@TheDutchBros]

I was kind of surprised you didn't mention that the VR2 wasn't backwards compatible; that was the main gripe I had with it

[@crookedcarpet]

I love that even in a regret video one of your examples has a redemption arc. Can't help being positive !

I like the psvr2 a lot, but the quest 3 with the pancake lenses is so much better. You should get one. Batman Arkham and Hitman are coming up and Asgard's Wrath 2 is amazing

My biggest regret in gaming is leaving my officially branded PlayStation CD wallet at my friends girlfriend's house over the weekend while I went home to catch a few hours of sleep and two days past and when I got in touch with my friend, apparently he had broken up with his girlfriend and had a big fight and I could not get him to go with me back over there to get my games.... Long story short I had just about every AAA game from 1995 to 2001 in that CD wallet, all black label, all original copies, and all still played- I'm talking games like: Resident evil 1-3 Dino crisis Xenogears Silent Hill Gran Turismo Gran Turismo2 Need for speed III Hot Pursuit Need for speed High Stakes Jumping flash Ridge racer Rage racer Ridge racer type 4 Tekken 1-3 Fear Effect Andretti racing Rallycross Twisted metal 1-3 Vigilante 8 Driver 1 & 2 Point blank + Gun Destruction Derby 1 & 2 Metal gear solid College slam Street fighter the game the movie Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy VIII Final Fantasy IX Rival schools Wipeout Warhawk Fade to black Crash bandicoot 1-3 Jersey devil And this list is getting really long, but I tried to list all the games that I lost ....😞 I would still have all of them today! Some of the cases I still have like the case to Destruction Derby, jumping flash, Tekken, Ridge Racer, and a few others, long boxes still in mint condition, or near mint...... Not to mention, I had five memory cards in the case, plus my original memory card with my Jin Kazama sticker on it.... If anybody ever comes across this ...... lucky you

Thanks so much for the shoutout! Was waiting to see your regrets! Probably my biggest one in terms of mmorpgs was not getting into Runescape in its early days. At one point I had a purple party hat and man I regret losing that account. But if I began from its launch day I would be so incredibly wealthy in that game. Also I need that DragonQuest keyboard. I'm about to spend too much money on getting one.

My Oculus gets the same love as your PSVR2. I played it a lot for a month or so, then it got put away. There are definitely games I'm interested in, but I hate going through the process of breaking out the headset, clearing an area in my room, making sure the dogs don't have a way to wander in while playing, etc. it's just so much easier to pick up a controller and sit back in my chair

[@royal5922]

I agree with the VR thing. Vr is amazing and fun but I prefer the idea of going to one of those vr places with the moving floors and harnesses instead of buying a whole headset. A headset is like you try out the cool thing and then put it down for months. I feel the same about most of the gimmicky products where its really cool but not super practical to own.

When I moved out of home, I sold all my Atari 2600, Sega Master System, Mega Drive, Mega-CD, N64, GameCube, GBA, SNES, PlayStation One, Saturn, XBox Original, and Dreamcast, along with 100s and 100s of games across all the systems. I'm a huge JRPG fan, and I sold them all for next to nothing. I still think about this at night.

I have a few minor ones, in no particular order. -Balan Wonderworld, gah, just, so much potential, I LOVE the look of the game, the visuals, the sound design, the vibrant colors and the dreamlike world aesthetic.. but it's just. so. boring. There's nothing to it, and I hear that the actual plot was resigned to a separate book that you have to read? Something like that. -I should have bought the PSP Persona re-releases/remakes when I had the chance, the collector's edition of Persona 2 Innocent Sin sat on a shelf in my local GameStop for three years for $50 and I always said "Next time." Now it goes for almost $300 USD secondhand. -I regret getting jumpy and trading off my Pokemon games before I had the ability to transfer them to newer generations. I didn't really replay games much back then so by the time Pokemon Bank actually came around, Sun and Moon were the newest games I had and I didn't have access to previous generations anymore, I've steadily corrected that over time, but man what I wouldn't give to still have those first-playthrough teams.

Back in 2011 there was video store that was going out of business in my town. They had gamecube games being sold for $10 each. I passed on getting any. I so regret that now.

Definitely selling some of my ps1 and ps2 games. I eventually bought most them back again.

Can relate to the collector/fan dilemma. For me it is music themed. Buying new albums from beloved bands that just don’t click (and never will) but have to be there is equally sad.

Awesome video!!

For me , triangle strategy, live a live switch version, DMC 1-3 collection PS4 ( Still hated the default on 3 no buts ) and perhaps ever Oasis 3ds game , mh world iceborne and several SEVERAL others I never clicked with 😅😅😅 don't judge me as I have odd gaming preferences

I gave full console collections to my brothers for Christmas every few years. While im sure they appreciated them at the time; what I didn’t know was that my parents were selling them off every few years as they were “obsolete” in their eyes.

Awesome video man 😎!

Selling my original Xbox Steel Battalion controller with game. It was mint, complete in box… and I traded it in. I remember taking it into CEX and got a £60 trade in. I wasn’t using it anymore thought why not, can use the credit towards another game. Now I collect games (at the time i didn’t) the thought of getting rid of that awesome thing all for a £60 credit note makes me sick.

I don't remember wonder boy much but it reminds me of shantae games a bit

That Dragon Quest keyboard is really cool!

[@wojiaobill]

Like you Johnny, I am a huge Dragon Quest fan. That's why I'm so happy I can read Japanese because I ordered Dragon Quest X offline for the Switch, and it was one of my favorite rpgs to date! I'm especially happy that they released the offline version, because I don't like MMORPGs, but I love single player JRPGs

When I was 8 years old, I went to Microplay and bought a copy of Superman 64. I remember the staff member who opened the glass case it was in was fighting a smirk, but I was too naive and young to realize why... It was my own allowance money that I blew on possibly one of the top five worst games ever. I couldn't even beat the first level with all the stupid rings...

I have a similar story to a lot of other people here. Trading in lots of beloved old stuff from ps1 to get a ps2.
