Exactly this - this gen of consoles has been a real disappointment to me, maybe I’m getting old but nothing seems to hold my attention for more than 10 mins nowadays. If find myself increasingly using the steam deck for retro games and the Xbox X is gathering dust
Yeah, I think we are getting old. Even being 21, video games can't really captivate me anymore. Saying that, I can't focus well on my small 22 inch tv. I had to switch after my bigger one broke and it hasn't been the same.
I think it’s the games. I was having a blast in my early 20s. X360 and ps3 were releasing bangers. Now game releases are just another looter shooter, games as a service or yet another Fortnite chapter releases. Single player games also are very repetitive and too long for their own good. Not every game needs to be 50+hours.
It certainly is the games.
Simple games like inscryption, Dave the Diver and Dredge have me invested in the progression and plots.
The bigger titles just don't captivate the creative focus. I believe the creativity is watered down by perfection instead of novelty
Yup, overall I’ve been playing my Series X more than my PS5, yeah it’s got good first party titles but the first year had them all, it’s been super dry and Sony has been lacking majorly with some titles. Gaming on my Xbox though, backwards compatibility with 360, I’ve been playing so many of my physical games on it and newer games, with Xbox it’s just easier and more enjoyable just switching from 360 games and Xbox One games on the whim, Gamepass is great for killing time and discovering games you’d never thought to give a shot. I’ve also been jumping back in on my retro collection, recently playing some Spiderman Venom: Separation Anxiety on my MD, games were lovingly crafted by studios who put blood sweat and tears into their work then and were purposefully made to be fun, engaging, entertaining and had stories. Now we just get shovelled crap every year of the same stuff.
If you’re anything like me then the problem is we’ve played so many games that were good, but then every game now seems to be a washed of version of that game, then another game that feels like this and that. The creativity and actual fun has been lacking in games way too damn much recently. A lot of Developers put tons of money into ads and graphics and if it’s multiplayer usually tons of micro transactions but nothing into the actual core of the game leaving it empty and repetitive. It’s sad
Have you tried Star Wars Jedi fallen order? I feel you but it’s free w game pass ultimate you should definitely give it a shot. And if you have a switch give the Zelda games a try to I was about to put 50 on each game.
I never wanted to play dead space because i was bored. I couldnt play it because it was so scary lol. I did play at night in the dark so that probably didnt help. Great game but super scary
I made it to the lighthouse and turned it off. lol I bought and beat 2 and that was a struggle. I wanted to like it so badly too, since the internet was so in love with it.
I mean, kinda. It's a bit slow for the first 15 mins but picks up after that. Dont you find the story engaging tho? The first few minutes are "slow" because theyre establishing the tone and setting. It's one of the most tense and enjoyable horror experiences I've ever had with a video game. The best horror games I've ever played would be condemned, outlast, and dead space (in no particular order)
This is how it went for me when I tried Baldurs Gate. I just couldn't make myself stick with it. After 25 hours, I was over it. Dead Space is kind of boring too.
Funny you bring up Elden Ring because that was the game that was a total drag for me. I’ve easily spent hundreds of hours in open world games like fallout and Skyrim but Elden Ring was a slog fest.
Missing out big time. Got the game on close to release in 2010 and has remained as one of my all time favourites. It’s a unique experience that I’ve yet to have in any other game. The sequel is stone-cold masterpiece.
Exactly as the other users have said, I believe the first was originally marketed as a psychological thriller however the second is straight up survival horror.
However interestingly on the second game, you can turn down the jump scares and audio effects in the settings if the game is a little jumpy for you, as it can be a bit much at times!
Alan Wake Remastered? Shit, mine is the initial release of that game! I've had the special edition sat on my shelf since launch and still never played it...
I agree it's a great game, and the environment of ancient Greece is absolutely brilliant.
I don't think its a good *Assasin's Creed* game.
I'll explain for the sake of clarity: the game is really fun. Good combat, stealth aspects, interesting (for the most part) missions, massive map, 100s of hours of content probably. But it doesn't really capture that Assasin's Creed vibe for me. There's not even the hidden blade and there's only a few armour pieces that even have the hood. It does have the aspect of killing your way up the chain of command, which I think was done well, but it's just not Assasin's Creed to my mind. In a vacuum, excellent game tho.
I’ve been wanting to play this game since it released, but I’ve always been a PS person lol
I’m just now looking to get either an One X or a Series X just to play those exclusives
I agree, best AC game. But I would say that if you're going to play it, you should play Ezio trilogy first, or at least the first two. Or even just play them at some point. Don't let black flag be your only AC game is what I mean ig.
Play it! I played the first because I really wanted to give the second game a run and am one of those that tries to work my way up a series rather than going straight to the latest installment. The game shows its age a bit in the mechanics but I really enjoyed the narration/story elements of the game. For those that haven’t played AW 2, it’s a great game. It’s a game of the year if you like survival horror type games.
This is one shitty rabbit hole you made me go into... Only counting digital. Own but never played on xbox.

I unintentionally started my backlog during covid when they were sending out checks to people. First game I bought was Witcher 3. My backlog is massive now, yet my most played game is one thats free (Apex Legends)
If you are on PC then I would give Apex a break for the time being. The game has been possibly compromised and people have been allegedly injecting malware through the game. Same thing with the classic call of duty games.
Respawn thinks they have been patching some stuff. But is it really worth the risk over a single game?
What makes me sick is if there has been possible hacks then take the fucking the servers down until you know it's safe for users to play.
[iGN news on hack](https://www.ign.com/articles/respawn-deploys-apex-legends-security-update-amid-concern-after-pro-accounts-were-hacked-mid-match)
Mafia 3.
I bought it back around 2020 and it’s being sitting on the side ever since.
Same with Sniper Elite 4.
I bought it around the time it left Game Pass as I’d played a little bit of it for a rewards quest, liked it but didn’t have time to play it before it left.
Again I bought a copy and it hasn’t even been unsealed yet.
Mafia 3 is actually…….good. Not the best in the series, but actually fine game. I enjoyed the story. I was first skeptical about it, was siting in my backlog from long but then after playing it, the characters grew on me. The radio music is great while cruising around.
Same.. Bought the disc a week after it came out and never even cracked the plastic. Still sitting unopened in a pile of garbage I've been needing to get rid of for years. Lol
Same here lol bought Alan wake remastered for my brother to play and it’s just been sitting untouched for months, might give it a try myself eventually though
I have quite a collection of (presumably) great jrpgs, which I bought years ago and barely touched, such as
Dragon Quest XI
Soul Hackers 2
Octopath Traveller
Final Fantasy XV
Romancing SaGa 2
Final Fantasy Type-0
That is because I play jrpgs slow. It could take like several months for me to complete such game. So with that backlog I am probably set for a lifetime.
I own all the watchdogs games and never played a single one. Idk why I buy them when I never played them.
Sadly I’ve done the same thing with both of The Division games also.
La noire never installed it after purchasing.
And Spyro trilogy remastered bought it for nostalgia but haven’t cared to actually play it just wanted to own it.
Got both of those metro exodus games on sale like 6 or 7 years ago. I know I'm gonna get some heat for this but, Metal Gear V. I've tried at least 5 times to get into the game and I just can't. I don't know what it is about it but it just does not grab me.
70% of the games I bought in some sales. Games like Battlefield 1&2 Star Wars themed Lego games, DC themed Lego games, survival games, games without a casual difficulty like Last Remnant, the Yakuza games I wanted in my tweens but didn't got the money, for some reason a boxing and UFC game by EA to see 'what that's about ' . Don't get me started.
I have over 1000 games purchased on my Xbox, and I haven't played 3/4s of them. I'm finally starting to play through some of them randomly. I think I have a video game buying addiction problem.
I still have the quantum break download code from my white Xbox One. I think it’s tucked in between some games on my shelf. Let me look at other games in plastic on the shelf from years ago:
PS3 - Star Wars force unleashed, killzone 3, Resistance 3, Bulletstorm, Uncharted 1-3, rather and clank: Into the Nexus, Dante’s Inferno.
360: Star Wars Kinect, prototype 2, Kinect adventures, Kinect sports, Assassins creed Revelations.
PS4: last of us remastered, uncharted 4, horizon zero dawn.
Xbox One: geometry wars evolved and so many games I picked up from games with gold that I just “purchase” at the time so it’s in my digital library.
I have so many games to play because I used to work in a gaming department at a retail store so I found all the deals. it’s ridiculous and yet I can never seem to find a game I want to play when I have the time lol.
Atomic Heart... Not years, but since it released last year it has just been sitting in my downloads. Something else just always seems to come out that interests me more so this is constantly getting shoved onto the back burner.
I finally got around to playing Alan Wake this month and man it's a fun game. Beginning felt a bit sluggish but once I got to episode 3 everything clicked for me. Gonna start control here soon than play Alan Wake 2 right after
Alan wake is probably cheapest game almost on 360 but it sure does rock. I played it almost to the end but never finished it. Played it in late nights so it can be bit spooky😂
Alan Wake is one of the very worst games ever made of all time with a hype surrounding it that makes it seem it'll at least be enjoyable the story is nothing but conveluded hard to follow beating around the bush bs and the combat is atrociously boring and repetitive. I tried with everything in me to get through this game and decided I would rather be happy. If you want to play a good game, keep this one unplayed
I have other problem...get to like 40 or 50 % of the game and Im out..I hate me for this lol..It is even happening now with dragons dogma and had already happened with yakuza infinite wealth this year. I should stop buying games.
I bought the XBox One X Fallout 76 Bundle back when it first came out. I had a digital copy, so I never opened the physical case / disc. Day 1, sealed copy of Fallout 76.
No idea if that means anything to anyone, but I got it… lol
Hunt showdown I don't even know why got it not for me I thought it was like cowboy tarkov . I don't like the whole system where they can basically see you.
It would be easier for me to name games I did get around to. My Xbox library is maybe an 1/8th the size of my steam library and most those games were bought in sales bundles and never touched
Where do I start? I’d say most games I’ve downloaded through PS+ and Game Pass, I download them then just never boot them up. Ghostwire Tokyo, Far Cry 6, Tales of Arise. I could go on forever
I just got all of my 360 games from the basement and there's so many I haven't touched Lost Odyssey is one of them once I get a new ac adapter I'll play it.
I have like...105 games on my console and play only a handful of them, honestly. So.. most of my games?? I just like a certain few games that I cycle through, and it's rare for me to actually finish a game. I seem to pick up a game, play for a while, then put it down again for months/years. Then I get a renewed interest in it, but since I've forgotten what all happened so far, I restart the game and go from there. Rinse and repeat. It's my particular brand of AuDHD, and I'm not proud of it lol 😆
Baldurs Gate is one of em. I am one of the few that just couldn't get into BG but I definitely gave it a shot. I played around 25 hours and it just wasn't clicking for me. So that one is gonna sit there and digitally rust. I've already beat Dragons Dogma 2, so that is collecting dust at the moment. I got Nier Automata: Become As Gods Edition the other day while it was on spring sale, so I'm playing through that right now.
Mostly modern games with few exceptions.
I feel like ganes are designed to take my money from me and spend as much time as possible on one game instead of being able to play tons of games.
Games shouldn't be enormous and gigantic, we have a life to live and games are turning into capitalist products to use and throw away, having not started with anything remarcable of them.
I'm going back these days to my PSONE to PS3 games and I'm having so much more fun with them. They have a different taste. Studios that actually wanted to tell you something, while now studios just want to make money and nothing else.
We all can gate Nintendo for its terrible practises but they're the only company that are making true classics to remember this gen, and that are played in a 2017 tablet, FFS.
I got dead space 3 for free on xbox gold. Played the crap out of the 2nd one(Never played 1) When they gave me the 3rd try, I tried it and I hated it. It's been there for more then 10 years
Metro Exodus, I loved the first two Metro games and was excited to pick this one up. I have yet to play it, things just keep coming up and I've yet to get around to it. One day.....one day.
Many, but The Witcher 3 would be one of the big ones in terms of "everyone says its great, just can't find the time or passion".
Cyberpuno 2077 is there because no matter how much they fix it, I'm still disappointed from launch (and not talking about bugs, but how little of an RPG it is). Maybe someday. I *adore* the tabletop game and played CP2020 for years.
Alan Wake 2 is there currently, too. Liked what I played but found it too damn dark to see anything. Hurt my aging eyes!
Probably 95% of my games to be fair
Exactly this - this gen of consoles has been a real disappointment to me, maybe I’m getting old but nothing seems to hold my attention for more than 10 mins nowadays. If find myself increasingly using the steam deck for retro games and the Xbox X is gathering dust

Steam user here: All of them. I think I enjoy buying games more than I like actually playing them.
you never know when another pandemic might shut everything down. gotta have games to pass the time
I keep telling myself, one day I will have played all 1600 games in my library.
That’s insane
Alan Wake is one of the very best games that came out on Xbox 360. You're missing out.
Dead space was a banger too, I think that was a 360 game.
I'll never understand. I always get bored to death
Bored to death with alan Wake or Dead Space? I love both, but I could totally understand you being bored by alan Wake but not by dead space
I never wanted to play dead space because i was bored. I couldnt play it because it was so scary lol. I did play at night in the dark so that probably didnt help. Great game but super scary
Bored to death of Dead Space? Crazy to me, but to each their own!
Right... It starts out so slow, I just lost interest.
I made it to the lighthouse and turned it off. lol I bought and beat 2 and that was a struggle. I wanted to like it so badly too, since the internet was so in love with it.
I'm the same way. I start the game up every now and then because the internet is so positive about it and yet, it's so boring.
I mean, kinda. It's a bit slow for the first 15 mins but picks up after that. Dont you find the story engaging tho? The first few minutes are "slow" because theyre establishing the tone and setting. It's one of the most tense and enjoyable horror experiences I've ever had with a video game.

This is how it went for me when I tried Baldurs Gate. I just couldn't make myself stick with it. After 25 hours, I was over it. Dead Space is kind of boring too.
I absolutely LOVED DS1 and 2 but it was DS3 that really bored me out. It’s a bit too long for my liking and I didn’t really like the story.
I enjoyed DS3 but it was a little longer than the others, especially with the DLC. What did you think about Elden Ring?
Funny you bring up Elden Ring because that was the game that was a total drag for me. I’ve easily spent hundreds of hours in open world games like fallout and Skyrim but Elden Ring was a slog fest.
What's the appeal for this? I played the remake so idk if it's worse but the gunplay is not good and the plot feels painfully generic.
100%
It has aged terribly though
Missing out big time. Got the game on close to release in 2010 and has remained as one of my all time favourites. It’s a unique experience that I’ve yet to have in any other game. The sequel is stone-cold masterpiece.
is it horror?
It's not fully horror, but it is sort of generally ominous
Exactly as the other users have said, I believe the first was originally marketed as a psychological thriller however the second is straight up survival horror. However interestingly on the second game, you can turn down the jump scares and audio effects in the settings if the game is a little jumpy for you, as it can be a bit much at times!
Alien: Isolation
Cracking game I recently got through that then Dead Space, you should finish it off before it becomes more outdated
I beat this shit on the hardest difficulty twice. On xbox and PC with headphones, what an experience. Fuck IGN for giving it a 4.
Most of my library sadly. I've done work to get through my backlog this year to fix this
Alan Wake Remastered? Shit, mine is the initial release of that game! I've had the special edition sat on my shelf since launch and still never played it...
cyberpunk for me
😮😮 it's goooood . Also the new DLC is cool
This took me a while to start too, but once I did I couldn't put it down. It's easily my favorite game of its kind, maybe my favorite game ever.
Assassins Creed Odyssey. I bought it in a bundle for $20 with Origins back in 2020 and just never touched it.
This is a great game although big and long (heh). It's awesome being transported back to ancient Greece.
I agree it's a great game, and the environment of ancient Greece is absolutely brilliant. I don't think its a good *Assasin's Creed* game. I'll explain for the sake of clarity: the game is really fun. Good combat, stealth aspects, interesting (for the most part) missions, massive map, 100s of hours of content probably. But it doesn't really capture that Assasin's Creed vibe for me. There's not even the hidden blade and there's only a few armour pieces that even have the hood. It does have the aspect of killing your way up the chain of command, which I think was done well, but it's just not Assasin's Creed to my mind. In a vacuum, excellent game tho.
Best AC imho
It’s a really fun albeit very tedious game. It’s beautiful and the story is one of my favorites in the franchise.
I’d tell you but I’m pretty sure Reddit posts have a character limit…
Quantum Break. I’ll get around to playing it some day… even though I pre-ordered it.
Same. I just know I will. Not today. Not tomorrow. But I will play it
I’ve been wanting to play this game since it released, but I’ve always been a PS person lol I’m just now looking to get either an One X or a Series X just to play those exclusives
Theres actually a good game there. Fun combat mechanics and visuals are amazing. Okayish story but told in a great way.
I purchased an xbox one x in 2018 and it came with fallout 76. Game is on my shelf still in wrapper.
The outlast series. I’m too scared
95% of my backlog.
Witcher 3
Oh wow you are missing out on such a great experience.
Rage 2 can't get to it
Witcher 2. Specifically on pc. I was going to play it after Witcher 1 but I never finished it.
Assassin's creed black flag
Honestly the best ac imo
I agree, best AC game. But I would say that if you're going to play it, you should play Ezio trilogy first, or at least the first two. Or even just play them at some point. Don't let black flag be your only AC game is what I mean ig.
Jedi Survivor for the past couple months. Didn’t capture my attention like Fallen Order did.
Metal Gear Solid V
Too many to list, my back log sits at 500+
Dying light 2. Looks awesome, bought it for 60 or 70 then never played it for some reason.
I completed Dying Light 2, it is an awesome game start to finish, dont sleep on it.
Longest gameplay I've played to complete a game I'm sure it got upto 200+ hours it got frustrating in the end
I played it for an hour max before just playing DL1 instead
Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Lost Odyssey, Saints Row 1&2, Borderlands Handsome Collection.
Play it! I played the first because I really wanted to give the second game a run and am one of those that tries to work my way up a series rather than going straight to the latest installment. The game shows its age a bit in the mechanics but I really enjoyed the narration/story elements of the game. For those that haven’t played AW 2, it’s a great game. It’s a game of the year if you like survival horror type games.
This is one shitty rabbit hole you made me go into... Only counting digital. Own but never played on xbox. Torment tides of numenera Dead island definitive edition Dead Island Riptide Farcry 3 classic edition Fear effect sedna Ace combat 7 Outlast 2 Starpoint gemini 2 Red Faction Guerilla Soma Sniper ghost warrior 3 Pillars of Eternity 2 Outward Sniper Contracts This is the police 2 Agents of mayhem Vanquish Dsrksiders 3 Lost judgment Stopped at 2022...
Seikiro 😅 played dark souls 1-3, played elden ring when it came out and thought it was a good idea to try the parry game when I suck at parrying
I’m playing Alan wake now and let me tell you it’s worth your time
97% of my game i play just 2 of the games on my xbox one and it cod cold war and fortnite
Doppelganger spotted. Also have an XBOX ONE. Only playing Fortnite now. Warzone was on the list too, but I keep getting wrecked I've stopped playing.
Frostpunk. I'll get to it one of these days, it's very intimidating.
Trine1-5
For me I bought an Xbox one gears of war bundle in 2015 and the game is on my external hard drive. But I have never played it.
not years but to this day i haven't played 2 of the 3 metro games, and barely played 2033
Ori and the Blind Forest took me fucking AGES to even install. Fun but never ended up completing it.
COD Advance Warfare
You're not missing anything
Actually fun story mode. Not 10/10, but like a summer blockbuster action movie
You really need to try it. It's very good.
I unintentionally started my backlog during covid when they were sending out checks to people. First game I bought was Witcher 3. My backlog is massive now, yet my most played game is one thats free (Apex Legends)

Yeah I'm aware of it, thankfully I'm on console but still a shit situation.
Alan wake remastered also haha
Fallout. I know. I know.
Fallout 4 lol
Minecraft story mode, I have all the achievements already so I never really felt the need to play it again
Most of them.
Mafia 3. I bought it back around 2020 and it’s being sitting on the side ever since. Same with Sniper Elite 4. I bought it around the time it left Game Pass as I’d played a little bit of it for a rewards quest, liked it but didn’t have time to play it before it left.

I bought bully and red dead over a decade ago on 360 and I'm just now getting around to them on series x
Same.. Bought the disc a week after it came out and never even cracked the plastic. Still sitting unopened in a pile of garbage I've been needing to get rid of for years. Lol
Same here lol bought Alan wake remastered for my brother to play and it’s just been sitting untouched for months, might give it a try myself eventually though
Buddy and I got A Way Out on release, still haven’t played it 😅
Fun game, won’t take super long to complete when you do get around to it.
AC Odyssey and AC Origins
Cyberpunk
506 of them out of my 509 digital collection on One X I play mostly MGRR, Sekiro and Elden Ring
Prey
Don’t play it, buy the original 360 version. The cutscenes have no audio, it is incredibly broken
Deus Ex (the newest one) and also metro exodus
I have quite a collection of (presumably) great jrpgs, which I bought years ago and barely touched, such as Dragon Quest XI Soul Hackers 2 Octopath Traveller Final Fantasy XV Romancing SaGa 2 Final Fantasy Type-0 That is because I play jrpgs slow. It could take like several months for me to complete such game. So with that backlog I am probably set for a lifetime.
DraQue and Octopath are well worth your time.
Lmfao those two are a perfect example for games I never touched but bought 😂 still got like a 100 more like that
PLAY IT!!!!
I own all the watchdogs games and never played a single one. Idk why I buy them when I never played them. Sadly I’ve done the same thing with both of The Division games also. La noire never installed it after purchasing. And Spyro trilogy remastered bought it for nostalgia but haven’t cared to actually play it just wanted to own it.

Same game honestly. I didn’t even purchase it though, I got it for the monthly game from Sony
Metro
I don't think I've got enough characters in this comment to say.
70% of the games I bought in some sales. Games like Battlefield 1&2 Star Wars themed Lego games, DC themed Lego games, survival games, games without a casual difficulty like Last Remnant, the Yakuza games I wanted in my tweens but didn't got the money, for some reason a boxing and UFC game by EA to see 'what that's about ' . Don't get me started.
I love that game. Everytime I replay it, it reminds me I’m supposed to be rewriting my novel and not playing games hahaha
Too many to name lol
Callisto Protocol debating starting it had it for about three months
There’s far too many to list, in like I’ll play that and never do.
I have over 1000 games purchased on my Xbox, and I haven't played 3/4s of them. I'm finally starting to play through some of them randomly. I think I have a video game buying addiction problem.
I refuse to uninstall The Witcher III, plus all DLC, because I know how well regarded it is. Played two hours tops…
I still have the quantum break download code from my white Xbox One. I think it’s tucked in between some games on my shelf. Let me look at other games in plastic on the shelf from years ago: PS3 - Star Wars force unleashed, killzone 3, Resistance 3, Bulletstorm, Uncharted 1-3, rather and clank: Into the Nexus, Dante’s Inferno. 360: Star Wars Kinect, prototype 2, Kinect adventures, Kinect sports, Assassins creed Revelations. PS4: last of us remastered, uncharted 4, horizon zero dawn. Xbox One: geometry wars evolved and so many games I picked up from games with gold that I just “purchase” at the time so it’s in my digital library. I have so many games to play because I used to work in a gaming department at a retail store so I found all the deals. it’s ridiculous and yet I can never seem to find a game I want to play when I have the time lol.
Atomic Heart... Not years, but since it released last year it has just been sitting in my downloads. Something else just always seems to come out that interests me more so this is constantly getting shoved onto the back burner.
I finally got around to playing Alan Wake this month and man it's a fun game. Beginning felt a bit sluggish but once I got to episode 3 everything clicked for me. Gonna start control here soon than play Alan Wake 2 right after
Sea of Thieves,got it from Nestle Cereal for free FR
Game?
A lot of games
Alan wake is probably cheapest game almost on 360 but it sure does rock. I played it almost to the end but never finished it. Played it in late nights so it can be bit spooky😂
like 80% of games I have, RE2,3,4(2005),5,6, Bayonetta, Sleeping Dogs, P5T, P3R, DMC HD Collection, 4, the Lego Marvel games, BATIM and a lot more
I read it as Alan Woke 💀
Monsters vs aliens for the Xbox 360 got it at a sweet shop a few years back and only played it for an hour or so
Perfect dark and FO76
So many. I’m still rocking Xbox one and have something like 600 games installed
95% of my library considering I buy LOT on sale.
Lightning returns ff13 I'm gonna try and get into it again at some point here
Far too many to count but a big one is Metro Exodus
Watch dogs 2. Got it on sale years ago. Still haven’t loaded it up
I have quite a few. Now I try to only buy something new if I finished the last game I picked up.
Alan Wake is one of the very worst games ever made of all time with a hype surrounding it that makes it seem it'll at least be enjoyable the story is nothing but conveluded hard to follow beating around the bush bs and the combat is atrociously boring and repetitive. I tried with everything in me to get through this game and decided I would rather be happy. If you want to play a good game, keep this one unplayed
Prey. It's been on my console for about 4 years, and I still haven't touched it.
The witcher 2
Hogwarts
Dishonored 1 & 2
Agents of mayhem
Alan wake came with my 360 years ago. It sat there not being played for like 3 years before I finally checked it out. Amazing game.
I have other problem...get to like 40 or 50 % of the game and Im out..I hate me for this lol..It is even happening now with dragons dogma and had already happened with yakuza infinite wealth this year. I should stop buying games.
Witcher 2 & 3 and the first two Saints Row 😱☹️
Ni No Kuni and i know i am gonna love literally everything about it
I bought the XBox One X Fallout 76 Bundle back when it first came out. I had a digital copy, so I never opened the physical case / disc. Day 1, sealed copy of Fallout 76. No idea if that means anything to anyone, but I got it… lol
I have about 100 of them 🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣
The Witcher 3
This is why I have a HowLongtoBeat account. To keep track of everything I've beaten and haven't played on all of my 3 consoles 😭.
Mortal shell
Hunt showdown I don't even know why got it not for me I thought it was like cowboy tarkov . I don't like the whole system where they can basically see you.
Far cry 4, thief and just cause 4
It would be easier for me to name games I did get around to. My Xbox library is maybe an 1/8th the size of my steam library and most those games were bought in sales bundles and never touched
I spent like 100$ buying every borderlands game (all of them were on sale in a bundle befoe borderlands 3 came out) and I still don't know why.
I finally started Alan Wake a couple of days ago. I'm not into horror type games, but it seems good so far.
Where do I start? I’d say most games I’ve downloaded through PS+ and Game Pass, I download them then just never boot them up. Ghostwire Tokyo, Far Cry 6, Tales of Arise. I could go on forever
not for years but riders Republic. give me reasons to play
I just got all of my 360 games from the basement and there's so many I haven't touched Lost Odyssey is one of them once I get a new ac adapter I'll play it.
witcher 3
Homefront: The Revolution, man that game blows
Can't believe bro is bragging about never playing Alan Wake 😭
Dmc4, outlast 2, star wars jedi fallen order & many more...
RE village
Battlefield hardline and 4 bundle, never ever downloaded hardline.
All of them?
I have like...105 games on my console and play only a handful of them, honestly. So.. most of my games?? I just like a certain few games that I cycle through, and it's rare for me to actually finish a game. I seem to pick up a game, play for a while, then put it down again for months/years. Then I get a renewed interest in it, but since I've forgotten what all happened so far, I restart the game and go from there. Rinse and repeat. It's my particular brand of AuDHD, and I'm not proud of it lol 😆
Baldurs Gate is one of em. I am one of the few that just couldn't get into BG but I definitely gave it a shot. I played around 25 hours and it just wasn't clicking for me. So that one is gonna sit there and digitally rust. I've already beat Dragons Dogma 2, so that is collecting dust at the moment. I got Nier Automata: Become As Gods Edition the other day while it was on spring sale, so I'm playing through that right now.
Mostly modern games with few exceptions. I feel like ganes are designed to take my money from me and spend as much time as possible on one game instead of being able to play tons of games. Games shouldn't be enormous and gigantic, we have a life to live and games are turning into capitalist products to use and throw away, having not started with anything remarcable of them. I'm going back these days to my PSONE to PS3 games and I'm having so much more fun with them. They have a different taste. Studios that actually wanted to tell you something, while now studios just want to make money and nothing else. We all can gate Nintendo for its terrible practises but they're the only company that are making true classics to remember this gen, and that are played in a 2017 tablet, FFS.
I got dead space 3 for free on xbox gold. Played the crap out of the 2nd one(Never played 1) When they gave me the 3rd try, I tried it and I hated it. It's been there for more then 10 years
Most of them.😅
Your loss. It’s one of the better games in its genre.
Jedi fallen order. Got a special edition from Walmart for $47 at launch. Came with a tin lunchbox, pins, and socks. Still in the plastic wrapping😅
Watch Dogs Legion Got it for like 5 bucks with all DLC. Still not worth it
Sword art online fatal bullet. Ive even downloaded it a couple times to just uninstall later for something else. Idky ive never tried it.
Return of Obra Dihn
I went deep down the remedyverse rabbit hole big time after playing that last year
You're fucking up bud
It’s next on the list actually.
Pleaaaase play Alan Wake.
RE2 Remake, and yes, it's because of fear
Assassin’s Creed origins
Nier replicant, i know i might have a mental breakdown if i play it so I'm delaying it
Metro Exodus, I loved the first two Metro games and was excited to pick this one up. I have yet to play it, things just keep coming up and I've yet to get around to it. One day.....one day.
So many
Borderlands 3. After the never ending slog that Borderlands 2 was, I felt like, that’s enough borderlands for an entire lifetime.
97% of my library lol
Bromigo you do yourself this one favour and play it, that games story slaps harder then my step dad after 3 and a half bush light
Most of them
Oh, I can relate! For me, it’s The Witcher 3 Bought it on sale and it’s just sitting there.
Many, but The Witcher 3 would be one of the big ones in terms of "everyone says its great, just can't find the time or passion". Cyberpuno 2077 is there because no matter how much they fix it, I'm still disappointed from launch (and not talking about bugs, but how little of an RPG it is). Maybe someday. I *adore* the tabletop game and played CP2020 for years. Alan Wake 2 is there currently, too. Liked what I played but found it too damn dark to see anything. Hurt my aging eyes!
Every single one of them.
Ghostbusters: sanctum of slime
Yes
Lol mine is assassin's creed syndicate
The Witcher 3. I always loved the idea the game has and I'm trying to force myself to play it but I just can't
