Admit it. What popular franchises havent you played?

Gears of War
Resident Evil
Silent Hill
Battlefield
Castlevania
Any popular PC exclusive series

I'm sure there's others of note that I haven't tried, but those are the popular ones that come to mind first.
 
Let's see...

Assassin's Creed
Warcraft/World of Warcraft
Starcraft
Minecraft
Diablo
Any PS3 Exclusive Franchise

Those ones come to mind. Apparently I have something against 'craft' games.
 
Diablo
Gears of War
Halo (played a demo of the first one, but that doesn't count)
Uncharted (Played about 20 minutes of 2)
Pokemon
Dark Souls
Forza (I may have played one but it could have been a Project Gotham.... so I'll say no.)
Shin Megami Tensei
Killzone
Fallout
 
Earthbound
Shenmue
Assassin's Creed
Persona/SMT
Battlefield
Classic RE
Silent Hill
Gran Turismo
Final Fantasy sorta
MMOs and PC games

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, though obviously there are tons more. A few I've played briefly, but never really dug into. With Final Fantasy, I've started several, but never finished. Feels like I've never played one.
 
Call of Duty
Starcraft
MegaTen/Persona
Silent Hill
A Pre-4 Resident Evil game
Metal Gear Solid
Diablo
Any Sim Racing game for more than 30 minutes
Jack & Daxter
Ratchet & Clank
Bioshock
Duke Nukem
SimCity
Elder Scrolls
Monster Hunter (I'll be rectifying it this week)
Kingdom Hearts
Sly Cooper
Tomb Raider
Hitman
Deus Ex
God Of War
Devil May Cry
Minecraft
Tekken
Dead or Alive
Donkey Kong Country
 
Gears of War (I did play one MP session of GoW 3's beta test) - I own 1 and 2 and the DLC for 2 or something but never popped it on.
Killzone

I'm looking at some of these lists.. WTF people. o_O If you haven't played Metroid or Zelda or Pokemon or Metal Gear Solid or whatever, then what are you waiting for? Honestly, what are you waiting for?
 
The Half-Life and Bioshock franchises. There's something common to both that I find very dull and hard to get into, and I haven't managed to play more than an hour of any of those games. They just feel like very narrowly-focused, restricted, scripted experiences that results in them being less immersive, not more immersive to me.
 
It's not that the games don't interest me (I try not to judge a game till I've played it). I just haven't got round to playing them all. It's only going to get worse as time goes on as more and more franchises / IP's are created
 
Zelda
Metroid
Any Mario after 64
(yeah a lot of nintendo franchise basically)

Almost any STR or Strategy games (Tropico, Company of Heroes, Wolrd in Conflict...)

Never touched a Castlevania
 
God of War
MGS
LBP (is it popular?)
Starcraft
Civilization
basically, any other Sony exclusive

I think I've played, or at least tried, all the popular franchises, minus these ones because I'm not interested in the slightest
 
If demo discs, kiosks, and anything amounting to less than 10 minutes doesn't count then...

- Any Zelda ever
- Any post-SNES console Mario platformer (and I owned a N64)
- Call of Duty

Those are the ones that come to my mind as games I should play but never spent any real time with. This gen was the first time I played a Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, or Final Fantasy game.
 
Bioshock
Legend of Zelda
Anything Blizzard
Jak and Daxter
Sly Cooper
Twisted Metal
Dead or Alive

I can't believe some lists here. What the hell do you play?
 
Bioshock series
Half of MGS series (played 1 and 2, but not the rest)
Assassins Creed series
God of War series
Crysis series
Gears of War series
CoD (MW1 and above)
 
I'm looking at some of these lists.. WTF people. o_O If you haven't played Metroid or Zelda or Pokemon or Metal Gear Solid or whatever, then what are you waiting for? Honestly, what are you waiting for?

I've seen gameplay videos and lets plays of games I've never tried, and they just reaffirmed my stance on never trying them. You don't need to play a game to know you won't like it.
 
Despite being an avid PS3 fan, basically none of Sony's first party franchises, minus LittleBigPlanet and a very little bit of KZ3 multiplayer. So no Uncharted, GoW, Ratchet, Sly, Jak, etc.
 
Halo... never played it.

Despite not having an xbox, i was able to borrow a friends to play through the first Gears of War... which i thoroughly enjoyed.
 
WoW
Starcraft/Warcraft
Age of Empires/other similar strat games
Battlefield anything
DOTA/other MOBA games
Dragon Quest
Fire Emblem
Other JRPG series' I'm probably forgetting

Those are the big ones off the top of my head. Meh, don't think I've missed out at all.
 
Final Fantasy (I can't stand the big hair and the awful character design)

I agree with you on that one. I'm just not a fan of the art style.

I also haven't played any of the Killzone games. I've been meaning to pick up the second and third games but I just haven't got around to it yet.

Here's some others I haven't played:
Fallout
X-Com (I really want to play the new one! Just need the funds first.)
Tomb Raider
Civilization
Pokemon

There's plenty others but those are the ones I could think of at the moment.
 
I've, uh, somehow managed to avoid pretty much every major Sony franchise since 2005, except for Resistance.

I played God of War for a few minutes! Does that count for that?
 
I still have the Metal Gear Solid games to play but there isn't a easy way to buy the first 3 games if you don't have a ps3. I really wish MGS was in the HD collection. Aside from that I havn't played any Warcraft or Starcraft games.
 
Fire Emblem
Star Ocean
Monster Hunter
Civilization
SimCity
Ghost Recon
Rainbow Six
Assassins Creed
Final Fantasy
 
Silent Hill
Resident Evil
Uncharted
God of War
Call of Duty
Tomb Raider
Final Fantasy main games(I have only ever played Tactics and Crystal Chronicles)
Devil May Cry
Hitman
Non-Mario Kart style racing games
 
Assassin's Creed
Gears of War (don't have XBox 360)
God of War (don't have PS2 or 3)
Uncharted (same as above, but watched a couple of hours worth of walkthrough of it until I got bored)
Dragon Quest (I have IX on DS, but haven't even opened it)
Pokémon (watched the tv show as a kid, but never played any games)
Warcraft (not even the first two although I was a fan of Starcraft and fantasy games back then)
Bioshock (actually watched a walkthrough on YouTube, but would never buy any games in the series, it became very generic shooter after the first hour)
Battlefield/Call of Duty/Killzone and all the other popular shooters (don't have much interest in FPSs in general)

I think there's tons more as well.
 
on top of my head

Warcraft
World of Warcraft
Starcraft
Gears of Wars
Diablo
Counterstrike
Mass Effects
Call of Duties
Half Lifes
Maddens
 
Let's see now...

Assassin's Creed
Castlevania
Diablo
DOTA
Fable
Fallout
Far Cry
Final Fantasy
Forza
God of War
Hitman
Killzone
Kingdom Hearts
Monster Hunter (Aside from the 3DS demo that just came out)
Prince of Persia
Resistance
Rock Band
Silent Hill
Sly Cooper
SMT/Persona
Starcraft
Uncharted (Aside from a short demo of 2)

And I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now.
 
Demon/Dark Souls - I can tell just by looking at it I wouldn't enjoy it. Has nothing to do with the difficulty, I just dislike games like that.

Elder Scrolls games - Same thing as above. I've probably put 10 minutes into all of them, and was bored within that time. Awful, awful games.

Silent Hill - Games look lame, and I'd prefer to never touch them.
 
StarCraft
Castlevania (I've played the PS3 ver but none of the old ones)
Fire Emblem
Metroid
Monster Hunter
Gears of War
Halo

Probably have tons more, but this is most of them. I don't think I really even plan on playing any of these since they never seemed interesting to me, except maybe Starcraft and Fire Emblem.
 
Resident Evil
God of War
Gears of War
Uncharted
Warcraft
Starcraft
Bioshock
Jak and Daxter
Silent Hill
Diablo
Sly Cooper
Demon's/Dark Souls (want to, however)
Devil May Cry
Assassin's Creed
Ninja Gaiden
Dead or Alive
Any war-themed FPS

Probably a crap ton of others I can't even begin to think of... I'm pretty good about playing at least one of the big Nintendo franchises, though!
 
I've played almost everything up to this generation but I have totally missed:

AssCreed
Mass Effect

That is all. I've at least played or watched my friends play through the others.
 
Dota (no interest)

League of Legends (no interest)

Diablo (slight interest)

Pokemon (slight interest)

Fire Emblem (medium interest/some fear)

Monster Hunter (medium interest)

Counterstrike (no interest)

Jak and Daxter (no interest)

Demon/Dark Souls (medium interest)
