There are a lot of games I should have played or finished, but I'm gonna keep my list to things I actually want to try in the foreseeable future.

- The Zero Escape series. I remember Danganronpa being reviewed as "a mix between Zero Escape and Ace Attorney." I love Ace Attorney and Danganronpa... so why haven't I played a Zero Escape game yet?!
- Ace Attorney Investigations 2. The game never released outside Japan. The fan translation rom patch has been out for years now, yet I still haven't gotten around to playing it.
- Many of the older Fire Emblem games. Particularly the ones officially released outside Japan. I'm currently making progress with Blazing Sword. Next will probably be Sacred Stones... and the Tellius games, if I can manage to get my hands on them, haha!
- Earthbound. There are a lot of classic JRPGs I should have played by now, many of which are listed in this thread... but these days I'm really iffy about starting JRPGs since they're generally so beefy and can be huge timesinks I sometimes get easily distracted away from. But Earthbound calls to be for some reason.

I can understand the field of view, but what framerate does the game run at, anyway (since I'm no good at telling framerates without a counter)? Do you mean that 60fps is nauseating? I would imagine it would have the opposite effect.

I happen to be playing through Earthbound right now as well. It's fun once you get into it and understand it. Gruelling at times, but enjoyable.

I have in my tablet a copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and I've never played it. I am ashamed; I've played all the others that came out before it besides Rondo of Blood.

There's also other games I have on my to play pile like Earthbound, A Link Between Worlds, Final Fantasy I, V, VIII, IX and X (I did play Fantasy War but I don't think that counts), Zelda II, Final Fantasy VII for NES (yes, that's a thing), X-Men for the Genesis, Sonic Generations...

Yeah, there's a lot of games on there.

Wicked3DS September 17th, 2015 6:16 PM

My list is pretty much...any Zelda game.

Garison September 17th, 2015 8:22 PM

Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii or N3DS would do)
Sonic Generations
Soul Calibur 5
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword.
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn and Binding Blade (why can't you just translate it?)
Disney Infinity
Pokemon X and Y

Burn me at the stake.

Give me a minute I need to gather some wood and get some rope.

I feel like I have a long list of games that I should play but haven't yet. x: I just can't think of any names right now.

Oh yeah, almost every Assassin's Creed game. My brother owns all of them and I've only touched 2 and 4 so far.

Sammi September 20th, 2015 6:57 AM

Since I haven't played a good variety of games in awhile, there's probably way too many to list.

Sticking to stuff I can actually play:
- Majora's Mask, and I didn't beat OoT either...
- Anything Fire Emblem -- my roommate has Awakening but it's a digital copy on his 3DS.
- Bravely Default (same as FE)
- Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance (haven't played any KH since Birth By Sleep actually)
- Really should pick up Dual Destinies sometime... last Ace Attorney I played was #4.

Never done any Metriod or Donkey Kong game, I think I've played around a Star Fox game for like 15 minutes, no Earthbound/Mother 3... and I haven't even attempted to think of anything outside of Nintendo or on Nintendo platforms yet...

Yeah like I said it's probably way too much. D:

Dter ic September 20th, 2015 10:25 AM

Zero escape: I remember seeing everyone praising this game upon it's release yet I haven't played it. I do love good story telling so I think I'll enjoy playing this.

The Zelda series: I don't really like the characters enough to just pick any game from the series.

Ace Attorney
: I remember playing a little bit of the first game but then leaving it. Maybe I'll like it again if I continue on.

younglink198 September 22nd, 2015 12:04 AM

For me the games that I mean to play but never get around to it are:
- The Evil Within
- Kingdom Hearts
- The Darkness (Started never Finished)

Frozen Lotus September 22nd, 2015 7:33 AM

Tons, especially modern games. A large part of this is because many, many AAA games that get tons of praise end up really disappointing me, so I usually just play what shows the most promise to me personally and don't bother playing things purely based on popularity, but some examples of really major games I've yet to play...

(Note: I've marked games I've played a demo of with a *.)

99% of popular PC exclusives
99% of popular shooters
99% of popular JRPGs
90% of popular racing games
Many popular indie games
Anything exclusive to Wii U*
Anything exclusive to XB1
Until Dawn
Alien: Isolation
MGS series*
The Elder Scrolls 1-4
Half the GTA games
Just Cause series
Destiny*
Banjo-Tooie
The Witcher series
Most Final Fantasy games
Kingdom Hearts BBS & DDD
Uncharted series
Tomb Raider* (except remake)
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Starcraft II
Metroid Prime series
Mass Effect 2 & 3
Portal 2
Fallout 1 & 2
Resident Evil 5
Beyond Good & Evil
Mortal Kombat X
Castlevania III
Most portable Zelda titles
Donkey Kong series (except a little of DKC1)
Fire Emblem series*
Minecraft*
Sonic Colors
Yoshi's Island
Ratchet & Clank series
Crash Bandicoot 2 & 3
Any Spyro game except the first
Batman Arkham series (except Asylum)
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Sly Cooper series
Phoenix Wright series
Xenoblade Chronicles
Kid Icarus Uprising

Many, many others but these seemed the most prominent off the top of my head. Now, if this was a list of popular games I've never FINISHED... I don't think I'd have time to type it out.

HollyYoshi September 22nd, 2015 10:05 AM

Here's one, LoZ Majora's Mask. I haven't played many Zelda games to begin with, but MM is the one that most interests me. I've just never gotten around to playing it.

Legobricks September 22nd, 2015 5:31 PM

I've been told in multiplicity that I'd probably like Valkyria Chronicles, and I never bought it, but recently I was gifted it and now I'm like "hey guise this game is pretty gud".

Also Dwarf Fortress because the learning curve is more like a hangover cliff.

Adore September 23rd, 2015 12:13 AM

  • Bioshock
  • Mass Effect
  • Legend of Zelda
  • Fire Emblem

The first two are due to a lack of necessary systems. The latter two are just due to lack of interest.

Winter September 23rd, 2015 1:09 AM

Mother, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Skyrim, Persona, Five Nights at Freddy's, Half Life, Borderlands, Grand Theft Auto, Assassin's Creed, Fire Emblem, Portal, Mass Effect, and any PlayStation-specific title. Definitely more to the list because I'm always lagging behind what's hot and hip in the video game world xD

It's usually 1) don't have the console or money to buy and play or 2) a lack of interest.

☆Rei☆ September 23rd, 2015 7:13 AM

The Batman Arkham Games,
The Borderlands Games,
The Bioshock Games,
The Counter Strike Games,
The Crysis Series,
Don't Starve,
Evolve,
Left 4 Dead (1 & 2),
Rust,
Bloodborne,
and a few more.

What's more ironic is that I own all the games I mentioned above, but I haven't even done anything in said games yet. (Except for maybe Batman Arkham Knight)

I really need to play more different games, but I get hooked on games like Destiny and Halo and it takes forever for me to get bored with them. xD

Palkia September 25th, 2015 8:06 AM

- Metal Gear
- Most Zelda games (aside from the DS games, those were good)
- Most recent AAA games
- Minecraft (I just bought it lol)
- F-Zero (idk)

Judge Mandolore Shepard September 25th, 2015 10:15 AM

For game series that I have listed here that I have not played it is because either I don't have the right system, I am not interested in the series, or I don't know if the series would interest me

Persona
Splatoon
Metal Gear
Ace Attorney
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Counter Strike

plus a few others
