Be Excellent To Each Other

This one is quite simple, we want to hear about games that people always talk about but you've never played.

I'll start and to be honest, I struggled with this. The only ones I could think of was the Uncharted series. I think I own the first 3 but have never played any of them. Not even to try them out.

I've heard that they're good but the PS3 passed me by as I was all over the Xbox 360.

Final Fantasy!

Any console fps, any FIFA other than 13, any link. A lot more probably...

Dark Souls

I've been thinking on this for an hour or two, and I don't think there's anything at all.

I'll look at the other replies, but I think I tried pretty much everything.

Title.

Civilisation

Sims

World of Warcraft.

Same for me. I'll also add Assassin's Creed, Hitman, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Unchartered and Rainbow Six. I own lots of all of them, but never felt the urge to play any of them.

You name it, I probably haven't played it.

I don't understand the whole buying games but never playing them thing.

In my case, I'll buy job lots of stuff on eBay, which will have stuff I want, but then filler too. Stuff like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty have become the new FIFAs. I am terrible for buying Steam games and not playing them though - it's usually a 'when I get round to it', but it never happens.

A whole vareity of pigeon based games.

Try not to fart.

Ah, ok, that makes sense.

You have missed out, my friend. One of the best games of the last generation. A bit like Heavy Rain.

I haven't played a King's Quest, Dragon Quest or Police Quest game. Or a Thief game.

Heavy Rain, any Ultima game, Final Fantasy Tactics (the original),
Any Thief game.

Any Zelda apart from OoT, WW and LttP.

Any Mario game apart from Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros, Mario 64 and Sunshine, and and a few of the Kart games.

The only Pokémon game I've played is a (NA) version of Sapphire.

Any Command and Conquer game.

I've never played Super Mario 64 which people say is the greatest game ever.

I missed a lot of the SNES, Megadrive and N64 stuff.

I've never played any Pokemon either which people always rave about (not GO! that's garbage).

Or Street Fighter 3/Alpha which people always say is the best 2D fighter.

I've only played one Zelda game (Link Between Worlds) and never finished it. Started Final Fantasy VII but didn't get far.

Street Fighter 3 or Street Fighter Alpha 3? Either way, they're both ace!

Battlefield 1?

Which is the one people say is the best 2D fighter? Alpha, probably. Either way I ain't played them. I feel disgusted.

Just realise I've not played any of the Crash Bandicoot games either.

Ooh! I've never played a Pokémon game!

Not even Go?

Me either

Apart from that one. Not the same thing though is it, really?

Final Fantasy. Nearly all of the Zelda games (only ever played the one on SNES for a few hours). Anything RPG-ey apart from Fallout. I played some Skyrim, but my heart wasn't in it.
Never played a Pokemon game. The original Gameboy gave me splitting headaches and so did the DS when I got that.
Xcom.
Shadow Of Mordor.

In fact, I could write out a ten thousand word essay on games I bought in Steam on the reccs of others but never played

Ooh, here's a thing which sort-of fits: I've never played on a Dreamcast. To my knowledge, I've never even seen one.

Really? Wow... I take it for granted that everyone should know what the Dreamcast is. Someone commented on my Dreamcast bag the other day and said it was ace and special like, he doesn't see one everyday. Weirdo.

Same here, I think.

Games things I've never played on (not an exhaustive list, mind you, just ones that come to mind)

NES
SNES
Amiga CD32
3DO
Jaguar
Lynx
Game Gear
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
Xbox One
PS4
Wii U
DS (original)
3DS

Ones I have played on:

Mega Drive
PlayStation 1, 2 and 3
Xbox and Xbox 360
Amstrad GX4000
Wii
Switch
PSP (original)
DS Lite

Probably missed some off both lists.

Out of those lists, the only one I haven't played on is the GX4000.

Seriously, how have you people never played on a Dreamcast?

Aw, mate - you've not lived


I never really knew anyone that was still into Sega stuff by the time the DC came out.

I think the list of popular consoles I've not played on is pretty short -

PS4
Xbox One
Wii U
Switch
PS Vita

Despite its little quirks (VMUs, controller cable leading from the bottom of the controller not the top, twin memory card slots, being a bit unreliable etc), the Dreamcast is probably my second favourite console after the Gamecube.

I think it's pretty obvious that the Dreamcast is my favourite console. Closely followed by the Saturn but the Switch is giving that a run for its money.

I used to have a dreamcast. I loved it. I wanted one of those Hello Kitty Dreamcasts but too spendy

I think I had a Dreamcast... I remember a VMU that didn't work.

Always wanted a Saturn for Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I've never played on a Dreamcast either.

They were poo

Consoles I've had direct access to:

Megadrive
CD32
PSone
Wii
Xbox 360
Wii U
Xbox One

Gameboy
GBA
DS
3DS

I have played on others, but only a few times each.

I liked the look of the Sonic special edition thing

That looks like a Dreameye there too.. The webcam for the Dreamcast.

I’ve got one of those.

I've just googled for the list of supported Dreameye games and there were just two - DreamPhotoFun and Visual Park, which might explain why I've never seen one.

I did have the microphone for Seaman and I've got a few keyboards for Typing of the Dead though

Don't think I have played on any of those.

I've got DBSnappa's old Saturn with Sega Rally, Daytona and Virtua Fighter 2 on. What else should I get for it that isn't silly money?

Ready to Rumble
Crazy Taxi
Powerstone

I enjoyed Resi on there (Veronica)

You can download ISO's of most Dreamcast titles and dump them onto a disk which the system will play

A saturn won't

Sega Ages is usually pretty affordable - Out Run, Space Harrier and After Burner II

Yip - i misread it , did not play much on the Saturn , knights into dreams , Virtua Fighter , and Fighting ... Vipers? - and of course the light gun games but I expect those to be expensive and the guns to be difficult to find

It's old. Dump it.
