Games you own, but have no desire to play.

[Tallim]

None for hipster reasons, but there's some games I never play nor have I ever attempted do so so and yet I bought them because...

NEED A CO-OP OPTION (these are mostly sports, racing and fighting games)

THE SAKE OF VARIETY (stealth games and a few RTS. Hardly touch 'em)

CULT CLASSIC STATUS (some RPGs like Suikoden or Shadow Hearts which I grew weary of before I got to play through them... in fact if anyone has played through I would appreciate a word of motivation, if you please?)

Actually Shadow Hearts is kind of a love it or hate it thing. If it's not clicking with you then it isn't going to get any better.

Suikoden however gets much better once you get some freedom providing you search for recruits yourself rather than looking it up online. Suikoden 2 is has a genuinely interesting story once it gets going (once you get the castle essentially)

When I preordered X-COM: Enemy Unknown for the bitchin' Pyro hat in Team Fortress 2, Steam decided to give me a free copy of some game called Civilization V. All I know about that game is it's some kind of incredibly addictive historic strategy game?

Yeah, that's not really style. I'll probably never touch it.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect
Team Fortress Classic
Team Fortress 2
Various random indie games I have on Steam.

 

[Glaber]

Saints Row The Third, maybe one day.

 

[solemnwar]

Kingdoms of Amalur

I like the game. I find it interesting, if the controls a bit... completelyfuckingterrible. And I keep on wanting to go back to it...

But I don't. I usually play minecraft/tekkit or one of the fallout games instead.

The amount of games I actually have to finish is a little sad, really...

Spoiler

Fallout 1 and 2
NecroVisioN (without cheating)
Cryostasis
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, Revelations, and III
The Void
Hydrophobia Prophecy
Dishonored
Morrowind
Divinity II
KOTOR II (I got halfway through the final battle when the game crashed and I ragequit and now I don't have the files anymoooore agh)
Venetica
Ninety Nine Nights
Prototype 1 and 2
Resonance of Fate
-insert more xbox360 titles I haven't touched for so long I can't even remember their names-

 

[Batou667]

Time Shift and Clive Barkers: Jericho fall into this category!

I bought them for cheap...but never played them at all.

Ha! Are you me? I got both of those because they were bargains. Played the first two levels of Timeshift, haven't touched Jericho.

Also on my big pile of unplayed games:

Brink
Condemned
Far Cry 2
Bioshock 1 and 2
Lost Planet 1 and 2
Dead Island

The real shame is that I'm sure at least some of them are good games, I just can't be bothered to find out.

 

[DarksideFlame]

That is without a doubt the first Witcher game, it just got more and more boring the longer I played it. I got it for 2 euros during the steam summer sale but it was not even worth that

 

[EHKOS]

All of my PS2 games. Shit looks awful on an HDTV.

 

[RobfromtheGulag]

I bought Amnesia to retain my iconic hipster status.

It took me over a year to sit down and play, and when I did I raced through it on God mode.

Also Anno2070, which for some reason I decided to get because simcity seemed like a good idea at the time.

I try to keep my steam library pretty tight, which is why I hate realizing a game I've bought is bad, or getting some freebie tacked on that I then have to hide in some subdivision and pretend doesn't exist.

 

[BoredAussieGamer]

Viking, Battle for Asgard.

I Got it in the Steam Autumn sale in the Total War collection (why the hell it came in the Total War collection I have no idea) but I have zero interest in it.

Because it's made by the same developer I imagine.You should give it a try it's actually pretty decent if you like hack n' slash games

It really should be tried for at least one reason: BRIAN BLESSED narrates it.

But back to the OT: Wolfenstein 3D. I got it on the id software pack. I can't see myself playing that while I have other, more complex, better shooters that have aged better.

 

[Exius Xavarus]

Sonic Mega Collection - Gamecube - I've played the crap out of all the early Sonics. I just wanted a way to play them if I feel like.

Minority Report - Gamecube - Don't have a PS2 anymore so I got it for Gamecube.

Mario Party 6 - Party game for when I hang with friends. Don't have many to hang with as of late.

Shadow the Hedgehog - Gamecube - Don't have a PS2 anymore so I got it for Gamecube.

Sonic Heroes - Gamecube - Don't have a PS2 anymore so I got it for Gamecube.

 

[Vhite]

First Witcher. I got it on steam sale because I heard it was good RPG but my first impression wasnt very good and so far I didnt feel like having a second go. Same for Two Worlds 2.

 

[DRTJR]

The Orange Box(it was five dollars), Oblivion(I have SKYRIM!), Fallout 3(Just Eh?), Fallout New Vegas(Crashes all the damn time and I can't progress without losing all my items, which is BS), GTA IV(It sucks), Assassin's cread 2(Same as GTA).

 

[Silence_v1legacy]

Mostly non famous indie games, it's not like I don't like this genre or something but I always have something better to play, and even though sometimes I wanna play one of those games I'm too lazy to download & install afterwards (specially when there are hueg steam events which cause a low download speed).

 

[ChocoFace]

Darksiders.
I completed in on X360 when it was released and now recently it came with the Humble THQ Bundle. I have no desire to play it a second time. Maybe like a few years from now, my interest will be rekindled, so till then - sorry Darksiders, but papa's got other interests right now.

 

[Faux Furry]

The Simpsons: Hit and Run,Tales of Symphonia,The Legend of Zelda 4-pack and Power Stone.
It isn't because of any lack of quality or enjoyability, I just don't want to risk scratching the discs or wearing them down in the slightest,devaluing them in the process.If I had digital downloads of those games,I'd probably be playing them right now.

The only game that I own that I don't want to play at some point again is BMXXXX,something that I own largely because I can not sell it for anything after having purchased it for a few dollars some time ago from the previously played games bin at Blockbuster Video(it was cheaper than renting it!). Well,at the very least,it is worth keeping around as a cultural curiosity.
Most curious is the way that every element of the game is perfectly mediocre rather than remotely excellent or transcendentally awful in any regard as if that was the developer's goal rather than some unfortunate accident.

I say that as someone who found something to like in games such as Red Ninja: End of Honor(razor wire weapons and a main character reminiscent of Sango from Inuyasha dressed like Sango's brother,Kohaku) and Marc Ecko's Getting Up(it's Turk-182 the videogame) and Hook(for the NES. The game did have good music for its time. It wasn't on par with the SNES version's soundtrack by any stretch of the imagination but it was head and shoulders above pretty much anything not done by the Follin Brothers).

Maybe I'll have to make a video playthrough to justify its presence in my collection soon.

 

[Legion]

Okami, because although I like the art style, the game itself isn't exactly thrilling.
Neverwinter Nights 2 was extremely cheap on Steam once, but I never got the desire to really play it.
Same goes for Max Payne 2, although I did like the first game, I started the second but never got into it.
I have tried the original Deus Ex a few times, but just can't get into that either.
Silent Hill 3 as I got the HD collection, but really got it for Silent Hill 2.
Splosion Man was another ultra cheap buy that I never really felt like playing.
Beyond Good and Evil HD on the Xbox, although unlike the others I have actually played it a fair amount. I just never completed it.

Those are the only ones, normally I do not buy games unless I really want them, but all of these were on some kind of offer or another. Except Silent Hill 3, which I explained why I bought.

 

[The Funslinger]

Maybe shocking to some:

Medieval 2: Total War

I just... I don't. I don't want to start it up again. It's not fun... I liked empire more than this!

I also have a whole list in steam titled "do not install". It's mostly puzzle games and stuff I got from a previous bundle.

I kiiiind of see what you mean.

But then I downloaded the Westeros Total War mod.

Gives it a badass ASOIAF spin, and as an added bonus, cuts out the Pope's fist shaking entirely.

 

[YCRanger]

Amnesia the Dark Descent

I got it through one of the indie bundles. Me however, being the big scardy cat, thumb-sucking, wussified wussy that I am, won't go near it. I might watch someone else play it though. That's how I got through Silent Hill 2

 

[ShogunGino]

All of my PS2 games. Shit looks awful on an HDTV.

I felt the exact same way when I tried to play my PS2 on my HDTV. Are you using the standard Red White Yellow composite cable? Then that's probably why.

If you're willing to spend about 7 bucks on Amazon, like I did, you can get a Xbox 360 style Red Green Blue White Red component cable for your PS2, and you can have the visuals up to 480i instead of the 240p - 360p that composite offers. Trust me, I got one, and it makes a world of a difference. Just about all my PS2 games look amazing through it. I'll give you a link in this spoiler tag.

OT: I have gotten so many used games for a pittance that I hardly ever want to play any of them. I guess some of the more prominent ones may be Bioshock (I haven't been much for FPS's in a while), and Dragon Age: Origins (I absolutely detest one-click combat, and I have to force myself to try and play through it)
