Series' you own several installments of that you've NEVER PLAYED?

[Sunnyvale]

I own the Tecmo's Deception Triliogy, and I don't even know if the discs work. Almost the same with FF, although I have beaten the NES FF several times. But never played any of the others. Basically, if it's an RPG or a fetch-quest, I may or may not own it, but I probably haven't played it. I did give RE1 and RE2 a 2nd/3rd/4th chance again recently. I'll take the Panzer Dragoon series, carpal tunnel and all, thank you

[Lerxstnj]

Pokemon, Madden NFL, The Sims, and a bunch more I'm sure.

[Leo_A]

I'm sure I have several other examples that I can't think of at the moment, but I own several of the Smuggler's Run titles (Tried one at a demo station at a store once and liked it) and several of the Red Faction titles (Liked what I read so I've been buying them, I just haven't gotten around to playing them).

Also have most of the Ace Combat series and have invested much time into just one of them so far (But I like what I've seen so I'm sure I'll enjoy the others in the coming years). And I own Metroid Prime 1-3 and Metroid Prime Trilogy but have only played MP1 for about 30 minutes so far. Been part of my backlog for a good 7 or 8 years now. And I own all three Rogue Squadron games and have barely played them. And both Star Wars Battlefront games with no time in either.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the only one that springs to mind.

[kupomogli]

Every Final Fantasy on the DS other than FF4. Every Persona PSP game and Persona 4. Resident Evil Remake and Zero.

[MachineGex]

Probably Micro Machines. I own all the Genesis games(PAL imports) and have only toyed around with them. I would love to sit down and really dive into them. I have most of the PSOne,PS2, N64, SNES, NES, and GB versions. I like the newest PS2 game "Micro Machines V4", but it is a lot more fun playing against someone.

Considering Micro Machines on NES is in my top 10 NES games, I am surprised I haven't given the rest a better look.

I started thinking about this thread a few days ago when I heard more news about Mass Effect 3. Then I realized that I own the first two and have yet to play either. So then I started thinking about how many other game series I could say the same thing about. And for the sake of arguement we will define a game series as having two or more games. So here's a list of the series I own but have never played:

Mass Effect : 1 and 2(360)

Splinter Cell: SC, Pandora Tomorrow, Chaos Theory, Double Agent(all Xbox), Conviction(360)

God of War: I and II(PS2), III, Collection, Origin Collection(all PS3)

Killzone: 1(PS2) and 2(PS3)

Resident Evil : 2, 3, Survivor(all PS1), 4, Code: Veronica X, Outbreak(all PS2), RE 2(Dreamcast) 4, 0(both Gamecube), 0(Wii)

Grand Theft Auto: III, Vice City, San Andreas(all Xbox), San Andreas, Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories(all PS2), IV and Episodes From Liberty City(all 360)

Metroid Prime: MP, MP 2(Gamecube), Metroid Prime Trilogy(Wii)

Legend of Zelda: Links Awakening DX(Gameboy), Ocarina of Time(N64 and Gamecube versions), Majora's Mask(N64), Wind Waker(Gamecube)

There are more but I think thats enough for now. And for the record, I have played Nes Zelda games but nothing from the Snes to today's versions. I also played Resident Evil Survivor but thats one out of 10 games so I cheated alittle and added it.

I've actually played demos for alot of those games but just haven't gotten around to playing the full versions yet. But I didn't pay full retail for any of those games so I can atleast take some comfort in that(otherwise I would have wasted a ton of money). And I'm also getting better. I will absolutely not purchase Mass Effect 3 when it comes out until I atleast start playing thru the first game.....or find a good sale on it for $12 or less

So who else on DP is suffering thru a similiar predicament where they buy so may games that before you know it you have amassed an entire series(or a good part of it) and realize you have yet to play any of them?

[kupomogli]

I was about to post in this thread, but then I was like. Didn't someone make a thread about this recently? I had to go 13 pages in but I found it. Just had "played" to be found and it was pretty quick. Although yours is a little different speaking of entire series, but close enough to being the same question.

I haven't seen that thread but after looking thru it seems similiar enough that a mod can merge mine into it.

Merged.


Back to subject at hand.

God Of War (own them all, all are still sealed)
Ace Combat (Own almost all of them across the board, (PS/PS2/PSP/360) none touched)
Fable (own all, all still sealed)
Mass Effect (own all, all still sealed)

I'm sure there are bunches of other series as well.

[Hawksmoor]

Mass Effect.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Fallout.

I got 1, 2 and Tactics via trades at GOG.com.

I got Fallout 3 and New Vegas on Steam during this year's Quakecon sale via trade / cash.

I have yet to play any of them.

[Griking]

I buy a lot of compilations, so I have a lot of franchise games I've never played:

Wizardry after part II
Might and Magic after part III
pretty much every AD&D game on the PC
Half the games on the Capcom Classics Collections. I have the entire Ghost n' Goblins trilogy but never played past level one in any of 'em.

You should try the later Might & Magic games. IMO Might & Magic really hit their stride with the Xeen games (IV-VI). III was a good game but the others are even better. Thge later ones after VI however were a step back.

[fairyland]

Xenosaga and .hack RPGs. Someday I'll get around to playing them. I tend to buy any JRPG I come across yet I've not actually played that many from the PS2 era to now.

Last month I could say the Legend of Heroes series, but I recently started in on Trails in the Sky.

[JSoup]

-Saga Frontier 1 & 2
-Most of Same & Max: Beyond Time & Space and The Devils Playhouse
-Phantasy Star 2 - 4
-Monkey Island 1 & 2

[Informationator]

I'm an SNES collector so... a TON of sports games. One series in particular...

John Madden Football
John Madden Football '93
Madden '94
Madden '95
Madden '96
Madden '97
Madden '98

I will second this...Might and Magic's III to VII were all special to me; great games!

As far as series I have but haven't played:
- Grandia - I own 2 & 3; but have only ever played like 2 hours of the second one.
- Dark Cloud - own both, never touched.


- Resident Evil (doesn't really count but I consider it a big deal) - I have played this series, beating 1, 4, 5, 0, and Veronica X. But I haven't touched 2 or 3 which I own.

that's really about it, my goal lately has been to collect games I know I will play as opposed to collecting games for them to sit for long periods of time. I have also eliminated this by thinning down my collection quite a bit (by over a third in the last couple months).

[Ackman]

Zelda, metroid and Final Fantasy games, just played some of them very briefly, lost interest and never played them again, the older ones I find really hard to play I think you had to be there at the time it came out to fully appreciate them, never finished any of the games, maybe 20% or 30% in a few of them, others turned on tried to like put it off too long, now I'll probably never play them. *shrugs*

[AceAerosmith]

I have several.

God Of War: 1 is partially played, 2 is sealed, 3 is open, unplayed.
Sly Cooper: 1 is open, unplayed, 2 is sealed, 3 is open, unplayed.
Metal Gear Solid: 1 is beaten, 2 unplayed, 3 unplayed, 4 sealed and unplayed, Peace Walker sealed.
All Assassin's Creeds except Revelations sealed and unplayed.

Fuck, I am slow and behind.
There are probably others but I can't think right now. Vodka clouding mind.
