Poll of the Day > What's an old game you really want to play but haven't yet?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Will be ok if you did play it for a little bit of time, I'm not picky

For certain definitions of "old", Star Wars: The Old Republic.

I actually own a copy of the game, but because it's a PC game (which I hate) and an MMO (which I hate), I've always procrastinated actually setting it up and playing.

The main reason why I still wanted to play it was because I loved the KotOR games, and people have said it's possible to solo most of the actual story content in SW:TOR (just like you can solo the story content in Elder Scrolls Online). Which is all I mostly care about.

Other factors that have sort of led me to procrastinate it is the fact that you can't romance any of the female companions with female main characters (which is how I like to play), and the fact that I'm not sure how many character slots you can have saved without a paid subscription.


I also have a copy of Deadpool I bought for the PS4, which has been sitting on my shelf for pretty much forever. Maybe someday I will crack it open.

Oh, and I've also got Agents of Mayhem that I've never played.

I've never played World of Warcraft but I've always been curious about it

I've never played a single Pokemon game but their popularity always made me wonder if I'd like them. Closest I've come to playing Pokmon is helping my son with Pokmon Go, since it's installed on my phone. He's 9 and doesn't have his own devices yet although we seem to be an oddity in that department all the kids in his class have phones and tablets

Is there a Myst VR now? or Riven: The Five Word Sequel

Myst 2021 supports VR.

Baldur's gate 1 and 2.

GTAV story mode

Sin, it is actually one of the only "classic" FPS games I have never played. There are plenty of games I have tried but never got more then a few minutes into that I want to retry, but that is the first one that pops into my head that I just never touched.

Alundra and parasite eve. The only 2 games I have in my collection I haven't played. I got as far as the title screen on parasite eve but must have got distracted.

the Black and White games. They probably don't hold up, but they always sounded kinda neat to me.

I only played the first game. I remember it being pretty much impossible to be good in that game.

That is the case with a lot of Peter Molyneux "god" games.

I had the same feeling with Populous and Dungeon Keeper.

It might have just been the controls. I remember always flinging the people instead of gently moving them. Also resources being a pain to get.

If you are indeed a fan of KOTOR, I don't think you're missing out on much. They really shat the bed in dealing with the core characters of those games for the MMO.

Also, the solo gameplay is choppy, because it went through that MMO phase of forcing everyone to play together for an arc or three. That means when you finish the initial solo-story, you have a ton of content that you can't do and have to skip, before you hit that phase where they wised up and realised it would kill off their newcomer player base, so everything becomes solo again.

Honestly, it's a dumpster fire of a game. And that stories aren't that great either. (inb4 'agent is teh best political/spy drama thriller ever written since bread was sliced!' it isn't, it's mediocre at best.)

Chaos Seed, maybe I'll play it before I forget again.

Most games in my Steam library.

Mark of Kri and Rise of Kasai

Mark of Kri and Rise of Kasai

I loved them on PS2 but tried playing through them when they got ported to PS4 and was loving it up until the end of the first game... I don't recall having much difficulty when they were on PS2 but for some reason the final boss kept stomping my balls in the PS4 version so I shelved it and never went back to finish :/

TES III and IV, though graphically modded up to at least the previous decade.

Lufia 2 and Planescape: Torment

Panzer Dragoon Saga

How old does it need to be? I guess the oldest game I want to play is the Atari 2600 E.T. to see if it's as bad as its reputation, because it doesn't look that bad from the videos I've seen of it, but I haven't made much of an effort to find it.

Drakengard 3. Really all of the drakengard games, but I've heard so much wild stuff that happens that I want to check it out.

Terranigma. I've started it but not played much.

Despite owning several of them, I haven't actually played any Final Fantasy games before. Also haven't played the original Zelda.

No More Heroes

Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2. Playing Metroid Prime Remastered rekindled my desire to play GCN games. Ditto Killer 7.

But I have enough games on my plate. Still nor done with Totk, but almost.

Any of the Monster Hunter games. I've only watched my friend playing Monster Hunter Tri. I own Monster Hunter World but never got around to it.

I finally beat the 1st one, albeit the pixel remaster. I like them all but I have a special fondness for the first - it's pretty damn fun.

It was. I played it back when it came out.

Everything I hear about Dishonoured makes it sound like an amazing game. I have it on steam but have yet to play it.

Just remembered another like this: BG&E remaster. I loved the game when I originally released, and I don't recall struggling with the controls but I guess it's one of those games that doesn't let you invert Y. As long as that has been an option I've inverted and games are much more comfortable to play that way for me.

The remaster is a no-frills port and as such had zero quality-of-life improvements, so still no invert option. Played the remaster for an hour before throwing in the towel

I'll second that statement.

I only enjoyed a handful of the 2600 games, I preferred my RCA console and my handheld Coleco games over the 2600.
