    Watch Dogs.
    I just get bored with this game every time I give it a go.

    Decided to follow Super Sonics example and gave Dark Souls a go. Only played up until the
    Asylum Demon
    who proceeded to hand my arse to me but I think I might enjoy this game. Controls feel a bit fiddly but just need to get used to it. All the combat instructions you're bombarded with at first is a bit overwheming but I can see how this game will feel rewarding with some perserverance.

    Biggest embarrassment is not finishing Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, please don tell anyone on the Arcade and Retro forum!
    Demon's Souls, Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2 all unfinished too, though Dark Souls 3 and Bloodborne were completes, in my defence!

    There's not getting 96 exits in Mario World but this is an even greater crime.

    The Witcher 3 :D I'm a couple of hours in to it but just don't have the time for a huge game like that at the moment.

    Dragon Age Inquisition - so much so that I consciously sat down and forced myself to start it yesterday. The first Dragon Age is one of my favourite games ever and I actually bought it months ago, but a game like this is such a big time commitment I always put it off.

    Never played more than an hour of any Metal Gear game other than Twin Snakes either.

    The witcher 3 has only a couple of hours logged by me, its something about inventory management that seems to put me off. I rather not have to spend lots of time reading and learning what items do, but that is just me, I'm sure others love that sort of thing.

    Also civ or total war games, I always think Im going to like playing them but just cant get in to it.

    Edit: adding Kerbal Space Program. Fantastic and educational but beyond getting a simple orbit or maybe a mun transfer, the learning curve is a bit too much and requires a lot of patience and practice that I don't seem prepared to offer. Hopefully Ill go back to it because it is a great space program simulator.

    Inquisition became an absolute chore for me towards the end. It feels like a single player MMO outside of the main story quests (which were good to be fair). Unfortunately you do have to do the grindy boring side quests to progress the main story at times.

    Soooo...

    I finished Read Dead Redemption and decided "f**k it" let's take the plunge and start Dark Souls Prepare To Die Edition on my Xbox One.

    After taking my time and 47 minutes play-time I have defeated the first boss and made it to Lordran.

    Defeating that demon was very satisfying, in fact even little things feels like an achievement
    getting the parry and riposte perfectly first time was great

    This might be a good game after all... wish me luck :D

    Red Dead Redemption, now that you mention it, is probably my one (of about a million).

    Red Dead Redemption is one for me, just hated it every time I've played it. Will definitely give it another go at some stage.

    Bioshock, owned the first game on PS3, got to the twist and then bought my PC, sold Bioshock and rebought, just barely played it since.

    Diablo 2 was started so long ago, and forgotten in favour of something else (Probably Dark Souls) and never gone back to.

    Divinity Original Sin on the PS4. I bought it about a year ago and knowing it is a fairly deep Rpg.

    I Googled a few 'tips before you start' and found pages upon pages of things I must know. That kind of put me off starting. Maybe I should just dive in blindly.

    I never had a PS3, (was an Xbox360 man) but was always a huge Metal Gear fan.

    Last year I got a PS3...and MGS4 , but I also got Uncharted, Gods of War, Heavy Rain, Last of Us etc....exclusives that I never got a chance to play.

    I've completed them all...but only put 1 hour in MGS4.

    I read so much about the endless cutscenes and dialgoue that it put me off.
    I started again yesterday, and already find myself want to press the START->SKIP button at times.

    Does this get better or worse ? I looked for a MGS4 thread, but they're all 8 years old etc...so just postin here instead.

    I'm at the bit where you and Meryl's team seperate (after being attacked by Liquids private army or something)

    I haven't played the Witcher 2 or 3. I played a playthrough the first one a few years ago.

    I'm the same. Just put it on an easier difficulty level (I think its called Sword&Story) and you don't have to care that much about inventory.

    Regarding MGS4
    I dozed off during the final boss battle.
    I awoke to find I had won.
    That kind of lets you know the gameplay hurdles the game presents!

    Telltale Walking Dead Season 2.

    Bought Season 1 for the 360, played through Episode 1 and 2 which I enjoyed but then I got sidetracked by another game. Eventually came back to it and finished it off, again enjoying it. Have since bought the Telltale collection for the One and it has been so long since I finished Season 1 that I'd have to play through it again before I played Season 2 and the thought of doing those first two episodes for a third time is off putting.

    The Wolf Among Us Season 1.

    Played episode one, loved it and got the rest when it was free with gold.
    Haven't gotten around to it yet as I keep hopping between Elite Dangerous, GTA V: Online and Overwatch.
    Even Dragon Age Inquisition has stopped getting a look in.

    Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. Just one of the many games I didn't get around to playing yet.

    I hope it's a game I'll enjoy like I did with The New Order.

    Anything that comes out on the backwards compatible list on xbox one. I always seem to get a great idea to go and install and then the icons just stare at me for months.

    I bought Far Cry 4 for €16 ages back. Played the opening, unlocked the free roam, did some hunting to craft better gear and haven't played it since.

    I just unpacked the 360 shelf, prepping some space for the Switch that's incoming this weekend.
    And in doing so I found a few unplayed titles, but specifically both Final Fantasy XIII and it's follow up XIII-2 both still in the wrapper, victims of the great Tesco sale of a few years ago.
