confess: which game has everyone played but you haven't?

You know them, and love them. If you want to talk Nintendo consoles/handhelds from the NES to Gamecube days, here is the perfect place. Virtual Boy welcome!

confess: which game has everyone played but you haven't?

Postby geozeldadude » 05 Jun 2009 16:53

i have a few that i've started but just can't seem to get motivated to finish. namely FF3 b/c i'm just not into RPGs that much, and goldeneye. dunno why, but i got stuck on some part near the beginning and couldn't be bothered to go back, even though i know i really should.

the most egregious examples though for me are games that aren't on nintendo systems, like GTA3 and halo, neither of which i've played. even though i have a PS2, i just can't see the appeal of GTA3. i'll play them eventually!

God, this feels awful, Okami, I love Zelda games and it has held my interest for a long time but I just didn't pick up either version. It just ended up being terrible timing all around, I'll buy it as soon as school is out, promise.

If you play Okami after hearing what a Zelda-ish game it is, you'll be dissapointed. Those games are very different, to be honest. I couldn't get into Okami. It just wasn't there for me.

But I actually tried Okami. Some games that I haven't touched and most likely never will are...

Super Metroid
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Any MegaMan Game

Okami is very similar to Zelda in its basic gameplay style, but is a very different experience overall. DEFINITELY worth checking out, though, and if you want a lengthy, beautiful adventure, you won't be disappointed. Just don't expect it to be just like Zelda. ;)

And hey, never say never, man! Why will you most likely never play any of those games? They're great games!

As for me...I dunno, I would say Halo 3, maybe? And pretty much every mainstream sports game. Seems like so many people play Halo 3, I never have. I've actually played a good deal of Halo 2 multiplayer and enjoyed it (as mediocre a player as I am), but have never played 3.

I've had Super Metroid sitting on my Wii menu for 6 months now and am still yet to play it. Also never played a Pikmin or (at the opposite end of the spectrum) GTA.

Great, everyone going say "YOU NEED TO PLAY MORE GAMES!" when I show the lists. Which is irony that I have WAY too much games.

All the Metal Gear (Solid including) games
All the Final Fantasy games except the Gamecube version
Let say, I only play Halo 2 + 3 a little bit at my friend house but that pretty much it for Halo
All the Grand Auto Thief games
All the Fire Emblem games except the GBA (I don't really like the game but I like the characters though)
All the Mega Man games except Mega Man X Collection (haven't unlock one game yet) + Mega Man Soccer + Mega Man Battlenetwork 3 (both version) + All Mega Man Zero games
All the Mother or Earthbound series

I so glad I got into Phantasy Star (old school and new school), Sonic, and most of Neo Geo games. (I still like Sonic!)
I love Majora's Mask. I love Wind Waker. I LOVE MY AVATAR! THANK!

Got a new Wii. All my friend codes are different now.

pretty much any of the modern games with aiming, shooting or guns for me; i just don't care for them or find that entertaining.

exceptions are metroid prime 1 (played part-way), some halo 2 local multi (which effectively put me off on the series), and the new house of the dead overkill wii game (which i had some fun with).

also not a fan of the horror genre, so i've never played any resident evil or silent hill, etc.
