Title: Mainstream Games you've never played?
Post by: Irene Adler on April 19, 2010, 01:26:45 AM
What are some mainstream games that you've never played, or played extremely little of, and why? 

I've never played a Starfox or Sonic game ever.
Why?  Well I've never really liked the look or idea of Sonic Games, so I have no modivation to play one.  And too lazy to find roms of Starfox games or get a old game because those cost my nonexistant money.

The big one for me would have to be Kirby. I just couldn't get into it - too easy maybe? I'm not sure, but I hardly think of Kirby as a series (I do love the characters/style etc). What confuses me is that I love Stafy, but not Kirby, game wise. They're both pretty easy.

Classic Mega Man, I love the X series but never played the classic very much.
Star Fox as well, loved the game, never played it that much since I never owned it.
Metroid, intercourse ing loved the only game I've played of it, though for some reason nothing motivated me to beat it after I got stuck (and eventually figured out how to do it).
Same for Kirby games, I like them, but never bought any (except Kirby 64).
I have yet to EVER play a Final Fantasy game, mostly because I want to start in chronological order and don't own the systems for them.

Go get final fantasy VI GBA on amazon. Actually, it's really easy to get the entire series from 1-10. You just need a GBA, a DS, and a PS2.

And pretty much a good chunk of games this gen.

I've only played Star Fox 64, it was ok, didn't really make me want to go out and get another game.
Never played any Final Fantasy game.
Mega Man, never really seemed all that great to me.
The biggest is probably Mario games, though. I've played that DS one because it game with the DS, and Galaxy, they were fun, but just kinda got old after a while.

There are actually quite a few games I haven't played. Really, I just have my select few that I love (Metroid, Zelda, Pokemon, etc...).

Well, I didn't play Pokemon until I was like 14 or 15 or something. This was because when it first hit big in the US my parents found some stupid conservative article in the newspaper saying that it's a game made by the Japanese to brainwash little kids' minds and that it was promoting violence among minors. :|

Anyway, other than that bit I can't think of any big-name game that I haven't played... Hmm... Oh, wait, I've never played Final Fantasy. o.o

Sonic and Metroid mostly.

Never had a SEGA console, so I never fell in love with early Sonic.  As for Metroid, I could stand all the intercourse ing back tracking.  The Prime series especially mad me off in that regard.

Sonic is the big one for me. The only Sonic games I've played are Sonic Advance 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles.

get a PS2

It's completely worth it. Especially for being one of the better consoles overall.

PROTIP: Don't play any Mega Man game if the words "Battle Network" or "Star Force" come after the name Mega Man.

Chronological order?
Every single Final Fantasy title, except specific sequels, is a standalone title. There is no "order" to them other than the order they were made... you could pick up any title and play it, and it'll  have no effect on the other games.

Except it's not a chronological order, just the order they were made in.  I haven't played  2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10-2, 11, 12  It doesn't matter which one you start with.

The same could be said for quite a few of my friends regarding Pokemon. Are you into it now?

Well, I only have Pearl, and after a year of being hooked on it I eventually set it down. Last week or so, though, I picked it up again and restarted the game data. But since spring break is over I no longer have time to play it anymore. :(

I was considering getting SoulSilver, but no monies.
