Games you missed out on this Generation

Klair88

Now that the end seems near(ish) on this generation, What games have you missed out on?

Some highly rated games this gen i havent had the pleasure of playing but to be fair on my part, I have probably played and Platinum'd a good few more than what I am missing, suppose you can't play them all!:)

I got Demon's Souls off PS+ yesterday so i'm glad i get to experience that.

I'll do it in a Top 5 format sure.

1. Mirror's Edge -Never played it but a lot of people want a sequel!
2. Bio-Shock 1/2/Infin.. Don't know why, just haven't.
3. Tomb Raider - Loved the originals and i will play this eventually..
4. Dark Souls - like Demons, really wanted to get into them but knew them were time consuming, only play that game for months sort of job.
5. Killzone 3- loved the first 2 but never bothered with the 3rd.


I know there is still time, so maybe i will get to play them or others games that members mention.

Here's my top 5 must play this Gen

1. Journey - wow, oh my , cant say anymore. Humbling experience. BUY IT.
2. Ni No Kuni- Awesome JRPG and what i wish Final Fantasy was still like :-(
3. BF3- My favourite FPS.
4. God of War III
5. Telltale's "The Walking Dead" Another awesome thought provoking game. Pulls at the heart strings

I've loads more but I don't want to saturate the post.

What are your Top 5 Missed out of/ Must play Games?

Metal Gear Solid

Bioshock, never had the urge to play them...

If any of you haven't played Mushroom Wars, you are SERIOUSLY missing out on some fantastic tower defense online action. I believe even the single player was free on PS+ some months ago. Online upgrade is only a few euro. Jeebus, I'm on it every night [IrishTLR]. Fantastic value for money.

My two would be:

Infamous - I still have the free copy from when PSN was hacked years ago, but I've only played an hour of it
Prototype - Likewise, played it for a bit but got bored quickly

Other than that, I've also skipped all the God of War, Call of Duty and other FPS games, but that's down to not liking them rather than not getting around to them

I do plan however to work my way through all the Assassin's Creed games, because I am way behind in them. Only moving on to Brotherhood tonight

Uncharted, I bought the first but it crashed at a certain point, returned it for a different copy and the same thing happened. Pity really it looked so good.

CastorTroy

I don't think I missed out on any really since I think I bought everything I wanted. Playing them, however, is another thing.
Mirror's Edge
Darksiders
Souls games
Bulletstorm
Heavenly Sword
etc.

Get all 3 of them, they're cheap now and fantastic. Uncharted 2 is an unmissable game if you've a PS3

Resident Evil 6 ~ I'll get around to playing it before I make the leap to next gen.

Don't bother. Play Res Evil Revelations instead. 6 is a huge cluster **** of a game. If it didn't have the Res name no one would buy and play it.

jaxdasher

Battlefield 3, Assassins Creed 3

Nyum Nyum

Finally starting to play Uncharted now after owning it for about 4 years.

Good game - I'm useless at the shooting though

RobertFoster

On the PS3 I've missed (that I can think of):

Super Stardust HD
Folklore
Wipeout HD
Afrika
Flower
Katamari Forever (Never played any Katamari game)
Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time
Heavy Rain
God of War III (I bought 2 but never played it)
3D Dot Game Heroes
Ni No Kuni

But there's still time... right?

Bioshock Trilogy - Never bothered to get them.
Dead Space 2&3 - Read the reviews, they left the Horror element and they're basically a linear action 3rd person shooter. Played plenty of them before.
Resistance 2 & 3 - Never liked the first one.
Any of the Fallout DLCs - €10 per DLC? they are having a laugh (€10x10 DLCs=€100!!!)
Little Big Planet 2 - How different is it from the 1st one really? Just more and more editing and platforming. You could nearly make the pre-set (story) levels yourself in LBP 1.
Motorstorm - Racing games? meh...
Gran Turismo V - Again, racing games? meh...
The Lost and Damned & Ballad of Gay Tony - Just never got around to them.
The PS3 Rachet and Clank games - I knew they wouldn't be as good as the PS2 days, and it's now beginning to show. The first PS3 R&C games are supposed to be good but I never bothered.
God of War Ascension - A prequel? they are just milking it now. Finished with GoW III and left it with that in terms of story for me.

And thats pretty much it... Too many games to buy or spend time playing

Don't bother your hole! the series goes downhill after that! especially Revelations.

You should really shop around more. You can get Fallout 3 GotY Edition for €25 now with all DLC included same with Vegas.

Bulletstorm is an FPS game. You are not missing out on anything there though.

Games I missed this gen are:
Mario Galaxy 1 and 2
Pikmin series

There is a load of great Wii and 3DS games I missed out on by not owning the systems.

Played everything on the 360/PS3 worht playing and found some hidden gems for myself like Mirrors Edge and Enslaved.

Would not bother with Prototype, not worth playing and you are not missing out by not playing it.

I love the AC series but Brotherhood is the last good one. It jumped the shark after that.

Heres some of the games I have played (PS3 only)

The main Bethesda games; Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3 & New Vegas
Mass Effect series
Uncharted series
Assassins Creed series
Killzone 2&3

I do shop around especially in the pre owned sections of Gamestop! but no luck finding what I want! all i seem to find are tonnes of previous PES and FIFA games, tonnes of Battlefield 3s, Assassins Creeds, Call of Duties, Mass Effects etc. As for buying online on Amazon, you have to pay for P&P and you usually hit the €20 mark for every game you buy when the Sterling is converted which is kind of pushing it for a couple of years old game.

Before I go to Derry for a spin (am in Donegal), I sometimes take a look at the cex site to see if there are any games in the store I'll be interested in getting if a decent price. Could do the same for the Dublin store
