This one is quite simple, we want to hear about games that people always talk about but you've never played.

I'll start and to be honest, I struggled with this. The only ones I could think of was the Uncharted series. I think I own the first 3 but have never played any of them. Not even to try them out.

I've heard that they're good but the PS3 passed me by as I was all over the Xbox 360.

Any console fps, any FIFA other than 13, any link. A lot more probably...

I've been thinking on this for an hour or two, and I don't think there's anything at all.

I'll look at the other replies, but I think I tried pretty much everything.

Same for me. I'll also add Assassin's Creed, Hitman, Battlefield, Mass Effect, Unchartered and Rainbow Six. I own lots of all of them, but never felt the urge to play any of them.

In my case, I'll buy job lots of stuff on eBay, which will have stuff I want, but then filler too. Stuff like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty have become the new FIFAs. I am terrible for buying Steam games and not playing them though - it's usually a 'when I get round to it', but it never happens.

You have missed out, my friend. One of the best games of the last generation. A bit like Heavy Rain.

Any Thief game.

Any Zelda apart from OoT, WW and LttP.

Any Mario game apart from Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros, Mario 64 and Sunshine, and and a few of the Kart games.

The only Pokémon game I've played is a (NA) version of Sapphire.

Any Command and Conquer game.

I've never played Super Mario 64 which people say is the greatest game ever.

I missed a lot of the SNES, Megadrive and N64 stuff.

I've never played any Pokemon either which people always rave about (not GO! that's garbage).

Or Street Fighter 3/Alpha which people always say is the best 2D fighter.

I've only played one Zelda game (Link Between Worlds) and never finished it. Started Final Fantasy VII but didn't get far.

Which is the one people say is the best 2D fighter? Alpha, probably. Either way I ain't played them. I feel disgusted.

Final Fantasy. Nearly all of the Zelda games (only ever played the one on SNES for a few hours). Anything RPG-ey apart from Fallout. I played some Skyrim, but my heart wasn't in it.
Never played a Pokemon game. The original Gameboy gave me splitting headaches and so did the DS when I got that.
Xcom.
Shadow Of Mordor.

In fact, I could write out a ten thousand word essay on games I bought in Steam on the reccs of others but never played :D

Ooh, here's a thing which sort-of fits: I've never played on a Dreamcast. To my knowledge, I've never even seen one.

Really? Wow... I take it for granted that everyone should know what the Dreamcast is. Someone commented on my Dreamcast bag the other day and said it was ace and special like, he doesn't see one everyday. Weirdo.

Out of those lists, the only one I haven't played on is the GX4000.

Seriously, how have you people never played on a Dreamcast?

I think the list of popular consoles I've not played on is pretty short -

PS4
Xbox One
Wii U
Switch
PS Vita

Despite its little quirks (VMUs, controller cable leading from the bottom of the controller not the top, twin memory card slots, being a bit unreliable etc), the Dreamcast is probably my second favourite console after the Gamecube.

I think it's pretty obvious that the Dreamcast is my favourite console. Closely followed by the Saturn but the Switch is giving that a run for its money.

I think I had a Dreamcast... I remember a VMU that didn't work.

Always wanted a Saturn for Panzer Dragoon Saga.

I've just googled for the list of supported Dreameye games and there were just two - DreamPhotoFun and Visual Park, which might explain why I've never seen one.

I did have the microphone for Seaman and I've got a few keyboards for Typing of the Dead though

You can download ISO's of most Dreamcast titles and dump them onto a disk which the system will play

Sega Ages is usually pretty affordable - Out Run, Space Harrier and After Burner II

Yip - i misread it , did not play much on the Saturn , knights into dreams , Virtua Fighter , and Fighting ... Vipers? - and of course the light gun games but I expect those to be expensive and the guns to be difficult to find
