Dropped $70 on a 4-player split screen game and we quit after 20 minutes
Last month my crew pitched in $70 for a 4-player couch co-op game that looked perfect online, and we bailed after maybe 20 minutes at my place in Denver. The split screen was so tiny you could barely see your own guy, and two of us kept walking off cliffs we never saw coming. My buddy Marcus finally said 'I can't tell if I'm even playing anymore' and we just put on Mario Kart instead. Lesson learned, I'll watch actual gameplay footage on YouTube before we all chip in again. What's the worst game your group threw money at and gave up on that fast?

My brother and I spent $60 on a hunting game back in 2019 that had the same problem, split screen so cramped we were basically staring at two postage stamps. What kills me is how this keeps happening everywhere, not just games. You buy a thing based on a shiny ad or a good review, get it home, and find out the real thing does not match the pitch at all. It's like ordering a burger from a picture and getting a sad little patty in a soggy bun. I started treating game buys the same way I treat big buys now, which is digging through 30 minutes of raw gameplay from some random guy with 400 subscribers before I spend a dime. Those small channels show the ugly stuff the fancy trailers hide, like tiny screens and bad cameras. Your Mario Kart move was the right call, that game never lets the crew down.
