    I never .... played The Walking Dead ... sober.

    - played FF, MGS or ... sadly, Morrowind.
    - owned a console.
    - Finished a Command and Conquer game.
    - Used gems in Torchlight 1, because I'd have to combine them later.
    - built a nuke in the Civ series and thought to myself "I'll just leave this here and only use it if I have to".
    - Got drunk and bought something on Steam and later asked myself "WHY!?".... Nah, I wouldn't believe me either.

    or in Skyrim's case anything early on that looks expensive, even though you'll find the same thing dozens of times throughout the game and it's worth feck all in the traders.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    - played ANY GTA without cheating (Weapons/health/armor)

    I've never played a Pokemon game.
    I've never play Portal.
    I've never completed any games on any console.
    I've never owned a console except a Wii (I got for free & played Zelda for 2 hours before getting bored).
    I've never seen the appeal of the Fable game series. Horrendously boring and I have no idea how the sequels got funding.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,603 ✭✭✭Mal-Adjusted

    I never played any Mario
    I never played a Metal Gear game

    Rectify that, some of the finest games you'll ever play. Mario Galaxy 2 is worth owning a Wii for.

    Never played Battlefield either but I watch all the Battlefield Friends and Battleloggers videos on Youtube, which is a bit strange.

    I don't have anything against it, I just never bothered. I'm Planning to get a Wii soon enough now that they're fairly cheap so we'll see.


    to add another one... I never killed any of the little sisters in Bioshock, ever.

    I cannot believe that no-one has said this (or am I the only one????)

    I never ever READ THE MANUAL

    When I was a kid I did it while going home in the car with my new game.

    These days, handy having it for games when can't remember certain combos or when the onscreen icons don;t have clear explanations. Plus, doubles as toilet reading. :)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 541 ✭✭✭lazlo


    perhaps for Street Fighter only. Otherwise I prefer to blunder around and find my feet in almost any game (or rebind the keys ;) )

    I think I always felt that the manual spoiled some of the magic of the game..

    You've never spent the bus journey home reading the manual to kill time before you get to play it? Used to love doing it, when the manuals and pc game boxes were huge.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,912 ✭✭✭SeantheMan


    I got screwed over with manuals/boxes before !

    I remember renting MGS when it first came out, I couldn't get out of the base because the CODEC code was on the back of the case. Chartbusters obviously didn't give you the original case....
    I was stuck for 2 days thinking I'd missed something until I bought the game


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,277 ✭✭✭Chris Martin


    Never bought anything on Steam (yet)
    Never played FF
    Never paid €60 or more for a game bar once (latest GOW)
    Never played Zelda
    Never bought new PC
    Never felt sorry once about mowing down thousands of people in GTA, part of the game surely :)

    I'm a bogger. I used to get everything by mail-order, particularly as I was a bogger Mac gamer.

    And yes the old cardboard boxes for PC/Mac games were awesome.

    But even when I got my NES/Snes & PS the traditions were upheld.

    It probably explains a lot about me all things considered :D

    There was nothing better back in the day than getting a game, and getting a proper thick manual. Even for a real short or crap games, still got a proper manual. Not these days though :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,734 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    - Played any games on Steam or PC in general
    - Played more than about 3 hours of any Fallout/Elder Scrolls RPG before giving up and trading it in
    - Played Half Life 2 despite owning The Orange Box 4 different times. Only played TF2 and Portal
    - Played Halo
    -Owned any Nintendo console. Not even a GameBoy. Forgot, I did have a DS.
    - Owned an Atari or C64 or anything.
    - Finished a Resident Evil game despite owning 2, 4 & 5
    - Played The Sims or pretty much any variation of it (Unless Theme Hospital counts)

    Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came with an actual Grail Diary thing that was about 90 pages long, looked like it was handwritten and had coffee-rings litttered throughout it. Now that I did read.
