Forums » Smalltalk » games you have but never have played

hi! i was just wondering if anyone has any games they've never played! i'm asking this question because i just discovered i have both dark souls 3 and fallout 4 but I've never played them, nor the games that come before, and i have no idea what they're about! i don't even remember buying them haha, but i think maybe they were given to me, and i just wanted to know if anyone has any similar experiences!

oooh, my dad gave me a bunch of assasin's creed games when he was done with them, but I haven't had the time to pick them up. Red Dead Redemption 2 is another one, but I actually do want to find that one, just can't find the disc :[
nice name, btw

thank you!

I have games I unfortunately can't play. Some of them are Black Desert and Hitman 2. I'd love to give Black Desert a shot at some point...

*scooches massive backlog of games acquired through bundles over the last decade under the rug* Uhh nope, not me.

The Witcher 2 & 3 (I like to play games in order and have still never brought myself to finish 1!),

Divinity Original Sin 2 (never made the time since it looks like something I’ll get absolutely absorbed by for weeks).

Quite a lot of others on Steam that I’ve got on sale but again never made the time for. 🙈

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (the one for the Switch, I forget the name.) I bought it on sale then promptly forgot about it. Another game, same situation, can't even remember the name of it but it's something like D&D apparently?
I also have Bug Fables and Deltarune downloaded on my Switch and have never played either, and I have a copy of Undertale that I have never played though I have played the game itself before.
I'll get to 'em eventually.

Kingdom Hearts RE: Chain of Memories, and 2. ...I love the series and the characters, but I never got to playing most of the games outside of Unchained Key and a bit of Kingdom Hearts 1. I will get to playing them soon... If life lets up enough to give me more time.

Oh, and Pokémon Ultra Moon, but I heard it wasn't as good as the original, so I'm taking my sweet time before playing it.

Well if anyone else here has ever bought a large charity game bundle, then they'll know that you generally end up with a pretty substantial number of games that they have no intention of playing. My Steam library is full of them.

Of course there are also games that I do plan to eventually get around to. The Pillars of Eternity series, for instance. I'm waiting until I've gotten through the Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition series, but I just can't get all the way through the first game because it's a slog for completionists. I also haven't properly played Baldur's Gate 3, though I have explored it a little when early access started. I'm waiting for full release for that one.

I also haven't gotten around to trying the Master of Orion remake, but from gameplay I've seen, I prefer Endless Space for turn-based space 4x and Stellaris and Pax Imperia ED in general. I also have a couple of the Galactic Civilizations games which I only really use for the ship designer tool to create larger spacecraft designs for RP purposes.

I also haven't gotten around to trying Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath. I never ended up finishing Munch's Oddysee, got to the revisit of Rupture Farms in New 'n Tasty and haven't finished Abe's Exodus either. I may play Soulstorm if and when it stops being an Epic exclusive though.

Finally, I got Little Nightmares on sale recently, but still haven't got around to that either. Mostly because my platforming needs are currently met by playing A Hat in Time (which is awesome btw).

I have "A story about my uncle" that I keep meaning to play but just never did haha

Risen and Risen 2: Dark Waters, bought it during new year steam sale back in 2019. Still haven't touched it till this day.

That's a long list, most Notably is Factorio and Satisfactory, but I have a reason for not touching them. Both are incredibly large and infamous time sinks

I actually share a steam account with my father - It's a long story - and he has hundreds of games, never played a good 70% of them.
(P.S., I'd totally suggest playing through Fallout 4. Some diehard fans may not be too big on the game, but I really liked it. I'd suggest doing a completely vanilla playthrough, then doing another playthrough where you just go wild with mods, and add whatever you'd like.)

Funny I find this because just a couple days ago I was going through boxes of games and I found Quake in there and realized that I've never actually played it.

Well, that's a lie.

I played it when I was maybe 8 or 9, but I don't really remember it a lot. I might play it just for fun and some nostalgia, but that's mine.

I got dishonored 2 a long time ago and have not once booted it up and I don’t know why because I was a massive fan of the first game and I know I’ll enjoy it but I guess I just don’t think I have the time
