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.

Didnt get into video games until around 2018ish, so there's a ton. Probably the biggest id GTA5. GTA6 will be my first GTA game.

I'm a big MMO fan but have never played WoW (had gone through being hardcore in EQ, figured WoW would drag me back to that dark place).

Half-life


Do yourself a major favor and play Black Mesa. I was 11yrs old when the OG Half-Life came out so that game absolutely blew my mind with what it was able to do, so I've got tons of good memories. And Black Mesa was such a good remaster/remake that I put over 480hrs into it.


Most of the big games I haven't played are console exclusives that, by the time they hit PC, had become really old.

God Of War
Gears Of War
AC: Black Flag
TLOU 1 & 2
Hogwarts Legacy - Own It
Halo 2 onward
Diablo
Dark Souls & Elden Ring
Grand Theft Auto
Red Dead & Red Dead 2
Resident Evil


Most multiplayer games, I've always been more interested in story & narrative

Halo. Half Life. Deus Ex. Zelda. If there was a Zelda game for the Super NES I might have played it and forgotten it.

Sonic. Pretty much anything Mario other than the original. Death Stranding was my first Kojima game.

Any fighting game like Moral Combat.

No live service or MMORPG other than Runescape.

No Pokemon or any Nintendo since Super NES.

Vice City is the only GTA I played.

No modern day FF. I think 6 or 7 was the last one I played. Whichever game had triple triad.

Red Dead 1 & 2. I recently tried 1 and got bored.

I played 400 hours of Skyrim but never progressed the story so did I really play it. lol.

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

Have only played one "soulsborne" game and that was Bloodborne. Didn't like it. I don't have time to die 45 times figuring out each little boss. Between the wife, kids and normal life, I'm too distracted to study the precise pinpoint movement I'm supposed to do for a 15-minute boss fight.

Decided those games are not for me. No interest whatsoever.

It’s fine to have no interest whatsoever…no one cares what you like or don’t like. But you grossly mischaracterized those games. Boss fights are nowhere close to 15 minutes and I can count on one hand the number of bosses across all of those games that require pinpoint precision and detail mapping in order to beat them lol

I gave up WoW in the Great Relationship Summit of 2010.

2005-2010 remains the greatest video gaming experience of my life, but sadly it was such a time sink. I was raiding with my guild like it was a softball/bowling league or a part time job.

Red Dead Redemption 2. I have it. I’ve installed it. I guess I’ve technically started it but I’ve only played enough to get past the epilogue and I’ve never really had the urge to go back to it.

I quit serious raiding during Dragon Soul of Cata. Still occasionally fire it up for a bit of questing and dungeoning on a classic/private server, but it’s not the necessity it once was.

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.


I also never played it. I did end up buying it this year, but I was real salty about choices they made around my favorite character.

Other choice is probably Breath of the Wild. Watched lot of video and does not look enjoyable at all.

I felt this same way about WOW and that's why I quit. It would be different if I had been in a guild with people I actually knew, but it was such a waste of time to spend with people I'll never even have a face to face conversation with.
