what game do u want to play but havent yet?

I want to kind of try them out though but I don't know where to start.

On the bright side, waiting so long after a game's release to play it makes things much cheaper. Getting into "the classics" now probably represents one of the best hoursOfEntertainment:moneySpent ratios around.

That is very true! On the other hand I have been keeping up with SOME games, so they still feel like old games to me now. D:

But seriously, do you have any recommendations when it comes to popular games that hold up? No matter how much of a no-brainer it feels like. I enjoy things I can immerse myself in, but cannot relate to most fantasy. My favorite settings are futuristic or contemporary things, or media with something totally unique in it.

The original Deus Ex is definitely a classic and plays as well now as it did when it came out. Super relevant themes, great story. My friends reference it about once every two weeks.

If you’re not that into fantasy, my favourite of the Final Fantasies is 8, which despite the presence of monsters and magic is more of a lite sci-fi setting. 7 is also more sci-fi and definitely more popular and has a better combat system, but the world building and love story in 8 is great and I love it and shut up and la la la I’m not listenniiiing.

The Commandos series are an excellent set of squad based strategy/puzzle games where you have to pull off daring missions using each of your soldier’s unique abilities.

Half-life and Half-life 2. If you enjoy those, you can go deeper and play the various other instalments, but equally you can play one or both of those and it’ll be a complete experience.

GTA 3-5. If you can switch off your brain and your morals, these are great, free-roaming satire.

Monkey Island / Day of the Tentacle / Simon the Sorcerer. Classic point and click adventures. Great stories, and very comfy games if they follow the Ron Gilbert design guidelines, which would mean there’s no way to work yourself into an unwinnable position.

Age of Empires 2: IMO the high point of the series. RTS with assorted game modes and historical missions drawn from reality.

I might update this if I think of more, but these are some of my childhood favourites that still hold up.

i've really been wanting to play the great ace attorney chronicles recently (after already playing most of the mainline ace attorney games) but i just haven't been able to find the time!! :(

I have mixed feelings about ESO, it does have some good stories to play, but they kinda feel lost in an MMO, your not able to get immersed in it the same as the single player games. BUT its still worth a try!

Speaking of which Id love to play through the old elder scrolls games.. but I find the graphics and limitations always put me off

sorry for the late reply. but yeah, its a lot more linear then your average ES game, I'm thinking about getting the Skkyrim Aniversary editions one of these days, specially for the mods. I heard someone created and archelogist museum mod where you can created exhibitions with items you found found all over the game that is crazy.

Resident Evil 4, I have the game, I love the idea, I've watched playthroughs and yet I still haven't taken the time to play it. I'm not sure why, I'm really bad for starting games or shows but once I get a bit in I'm hooked and will usually play or watch something in 1 or 2 sittings

I really wanna play MGS 2 3 and 4 but i don't have a ps3 to play them on. I have a lot of games on my "wanna play but they're untranslated" list. SMT 2,if..., and devil summoner, all of the gihrens greed games along with gundam the 3D battle are on there. I have started 3D battle cause its so simple i dont need to read everything, but i'm not done yet.

[bugholder's epiphany]

Hoo boy
Tubro Overkill, Titanfall 2, Metro, Watch Dogs, ESPECIALLY Psychonauts... It's a lot in my case lmao

octopath traveler 2 came out a couple weeks ago and I really want to play but I'm also still trying to get through a backlog of other games. it doesn't help that I keep seeing octopath fanart

[Azure]

i'm extremely eager to play the legend of zelda: the wind waker!! i have the game but not the console to play it on yet—it's coming in the mail soon! i'm so excited!

I have so many games in my library that i still need to play, to the point where I don't have the motivation to play any of them. They all just blur together in my head and even if I do begin one, the eagerness to continue it after day 1 or day 2 fades quickly.

I'm tempted to get the new Armored Core game coming out at the end of the month, but I still haven't finished Soul Hackers 2.

This new Baldurs Gate look  SO GOOD   but im scared of these system requirements... I tried to play demo on my last laptop and it gave me like 5-10 fps...It was completely fried.
Another game i want to play so badly is Sims 3. And again i cant because there is no optimization as i remember and i dont want my new laptop to die too ;(

Considering Psychonauts is one of my favorite games of all time, I think a lot of people would probably consider it a crime that I haven't played the sequel yet
