What's a game/series you're ashamed to say you have never played?

I've played video games for close to 25 years now and I've never played DOOM.
>>
I haven't played a lot of big western series to be honest
I always kind of plan to. Then I play some other stupid bullshit.
>>
>ashamed
I have never played Elder Scrolls or Grand Theft Auto and I never intend to.
>>
Souls
>>
Had a PS2, Gamecube, and PC in the 2000s. Just no budget/space for an Xbox.

Halo is a complete mystery to me. Looks fun though.
>>
>>736387628
Doom is fun, but I don't think it's a must play. I've tried to dip my toes into every game franchise that I'm even remotely interested in, but I've never played a point-and-click.
>>
>>736387628
>ashamed
None, but there's some I feel like I should have played but never got around to like the Resident Evil games

Didn't have any non-handheld Nintendo console or any form of Xbox, so have pretty much avoided all their main exclusives; Zelda, Halo, Pokemon, Metroid, GoW, etc.

Also never played a single FF because I fucking hate RPGs. I did play a few hours of Vice City but found it boring as shit and have never played a GTA since
>>
>>736387628
nothing comes to mind. I do feel a little bad that I've never been able to finish STALKER despite it being one of my favorite experiences in all of gaming. I just get distracted before the end and when I return I always restart the game.
>>
Not never played but I've hardly played Ikaruga, despite being a massive Treasurefag and having 24 hours in Radiant Silvergun according to the settings menu in the Saturn port.
>>
Whatever's on consoles, I just don't care enough about emulation nowadays
>>
>>736388265
If you're gonna play any Zelda play Wind Waker and go in with 0 expectations and expect it to be a baby game and just enjoy the visuals/music/atmosphere and appreciate it as a very weird and specific piece of vidya history that despite it's many many faults is still just kinda weirdly special.
>>
>>736387945
its literally the only game where you fight literally hell
its actually really gay
the meta is really fucked up
doom is literally A STAPLE if not THE STAPLE
idc that other games are "like doom" no game has the ez feel doom has with the aethsetic
>>
>>736387807
You never even played Vice City or San Andreas for like an hour? EVER? Really?
>>
>>736387809
Not even Dark Souls?
>>
As an FF fan I have never played Final Fantasy 7, I got spoiled a bit from going on the internet but the story is still a mystery to me.
>>
I wouldn't necessarily say ashamed but it's noteworthy that I've somehow literally never tried Minecraft.
>>
>Any elderscrolls game
>Any Gears of War
>Sonic beyond the first game
>Final Fantasy
I am proud to have not played League of legends
>>
>>736387904
Same. I only got Halo combat evolved and Halo 2 for PC. Techincally the best in the series, so they would be a great start for you.
>>
>>736387628
Never played any MOBA, COD, MMO or HALO
>>
>>736390543 (me)
Also GTA and soulslike, including actual souls games
>>
Not ashamed but I've never played fps or open world games despite how popular they are for people in my age range who grew up in the ps2-xbox era.
>>
>>736387628
Bunch of AAA fag shit like CoD and GoW but I'm not ashamed as it is essentially the sportsball of gaming.
>>
>>736387807
Grim life, imagine missing out on fun because something is popular. I just hope you're a teenager and not some bitter 30yo.
>>
Some of the below I've technically played but barely worth mentioning.
>the entire Souls series
>Nioh
>Switch Zelda games
>Final Fantasy series
>Gears of War from 2 onwards
>Horizon Zero Dawn (my girlfriend who is now my wife bought this for me on PS4 in like 2018 or 2019 and it is still in its plastic wrapping)
>Starcraft 1 or 2
>Sonic series
>God of War series
>>
>>736387628
there’s a lot of big series I’ve never played but don’t really feel ashamed about it. It seems weird to me to play video games like a checklist of popular things rather than naturally doing whatever you want. Like I’ve never played any GTA and don’t have much desire to.
>>
>>736387628
I still haven't played Dark Souls 1 or 2 but played all of the rest including Demon Souls.
>>
>>736390086
>As an FF fan I have never played Final Fantasy 7
I played the PS1 version on Switch last year, it's honestly pretty cool but quite grindy, it's blasphemy to most but I honestly recommend abusing the fast forward/invincibility cheats and enjoying the high points of the game which are:

>The music
>The characters
>The plot twists
>The aesthetic/setting
>The historical significance and many, many features that will seem very modern and revolutionary yet still are absent from present day JRPG's
>>
>>736392036
But DS1 is the only one worth playing...
>>
Never touched an Elder Scrolls game.

I've barely dabbled in anything Soulsborne (I played a small amount of Bloodborne and I've got Dark Souls Remastered and Elden Ring on Xbox but started neither).
>>
>>736387628
>I've never played DOOM
Do it, it's one of those games that barely need any commitment to enjoy:

>>736387628
Half Life. I even bought them 2 years ago, I have them downloaded on my desktop. Also Im 40.
>>736387809
Bro!
>>
>>736387628
Not ashamed actually sort of proud to say I never played The Legend of Zelda and I also never played Castlevania. I do play single player games but I'm mostly into pvp games and if I play anything singleplayer it's usually a JRPG or a roguelike/roguelite.
>>
>>736387628
Half Life
I’ve never been fan of shooters
>>
>>736398737
was going to post this
>>
>>736390086
I started playing FFIX when it came out also had VIII but the disc would crash on the Ifrit fight which is like 30 min in to the game or something. I also played some VI and loved X when it came out. XII fucking sucked and I never got the post ps3 games. Anyways, I got epsxe in 2012 with FFVII and honestly dude best fucking videogame experience of my entire life. people who say it's dated are fucking retarded.
>>
>>736398596
Igavanias are pretty cool and don't take long at all to clear so try a couple out someday.
>>
>>736398843
Which one do you recommend? I always thought the one for ps1 looked cool and I was really in to watching CV64 speedruns for a bit when Narcissa Wright was trying for the record rofl I've been on a bit of a retro gaming kick lately so I don't really care that much about console generations.
