Was thinking about this earlier.

Here are a few games or series I have never played:

1. Half-life

Never got around to it. Maybe it is because I didn’t really do much PC gaming when it came out.

2. Last of Us 2

Simply never picked it up. I liked the end of one enough to where it didn’t need a sequel.

3. Original God of War trilogy

Didn’t have a PS until long after they came out. Was pretty much Xbox only until about 2015.

I am sure there are many many more, especially if you were either Xbox or PS specific.

The Mass Effect trilogy is a big one for me.

I bought the remastered edition that has all 3 games in one like two years ago but just still have never gotten around to starting it.

Half-life

The original is worth playing if you like older games and/or care about gaming history. HL2 is 100% still worth playing as a gaming experience.

Every time I try to start it something ends up coming up IRL or games im much more excited for release.

Maybe I will finally play them this November since I have no interest in GTA and the rest of the landscape will be barren of releases. I shall repent my sins Scruffy

None of those games you mentioned as well along with not a single second of Destiny or Destiny 2, any of The Witcher games and Bloodborne.

Never played Red Dead Redemption 2.

Seemed too expansive with the limited gameplay time I have nowadays.

Oh, I’m well aware.

I just only get to game a few hours every few days because of work or the kid. I have to pick and choose my game choices well.

Right now it is Baldur’s Gate 3.

Never played most of the big Nintendo titles after the NES era other than maybe a few minutes at a friend's house. Only played Zelda 1, 2, and a bit of Twilight Princess. Only Metroids I've played are 1 and 2.

As for modern stuff, never played a Dark Souls game.

1. New GOWs

Idk why, they’re right up my alley. Just haven’t got around to it.

2. Any FromSoft

Tried dark souls remaster twice and sucked arse at it. It just never clicked for me. Keep saying I’ll try Elden ring eventually but feel like I’d end up just quitting.

3. GTA 4 and 5

3, vice city, and San Andreas were great and nostalgic but I’ve never been a part of the GTA die hards. I am excited for 6 but not like “take off of work” excited like most are.

4. Final Fantasy 6

Big final fantasy nerd and have played pretty much all of them except 6 which is arguably the best one. Pretty weird. Guess I’m just saving it for the perfect time in life lol.

I played about 15 mins of the first one and didn’t like it and never tried again.

Never played any FF besides 3 and 7, any COD after MW, any PS exclusive.

Mass Effect 3. I got about halfway through 2 and got bored with the gameplay.

Any PS exclusive. None are appealing enough to warrant purchasing an entire system for.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Didn't own a Wii when this was popular. Only Zelda console game I haven't played.

Say it aint so scruffy! The game is actually built well for hopping on for short periods of time and then shutting it off.

You have to remedy this
