those are the ones i haven't played a second. Everything else i played at least 30 minutes.

 

[toad02]

120 exactly
some of the arcade and atari 2600 games I was not sure if i've played the original incarnations or some sort of remix/clone so I did not include them

 

[lizzardpt]

I've played 94 of them, but many of them I haven't even finished, some I just tried it for a bit, but yeah I did play them.

 

[eXistor]

I just counted the ones I've never played and came to 23. So that would be 155. The one's I've never played are very much games I wouldn't like. That would be online games such as Counter Strike, Overwatch and the like or strategy games like C&C etc.

 

[eXistor]

Missing 17, so 161 played.

But most of the list is trash that I wouldn't recommend to anyone. So don't feel like you're missing out if you haven't played many of those games.

Trash? That seems overly harsh. Just curious, could you name a few that you would consider "trash"? I mean, I'll never play Age of Empires II, but I'd never dare call that game trash. Hell even something I actively dislike such as CoD4 I would not consider trash.

 

[Kayotix]

Crazy that I've played most of them.

Zork
Day of the Tenticle
Grim Fandango

Are the ones I haven't played.

 

[Deadceptor]

Played or at least tried 135 of them and beaten/finished 96 out of those.

 

[ty_hot]

42 games, considering playing remakes/remasters (like Rez Infinite). Glad LBP is in the list, Dreams will be in the list in a few years. The amount of Zeldas in the list is impressive - I have never played any.

 

[xrnzaaas]

102, most of the ones I didn't play are Nintendo/Japanese games

 

[j3d1j4m13]

About 150! There are a few that I half counted due to not quite finishing the story or not having spent a huge amount of time playing (arcade types or online games).

 

[babuchy]

91/178 for me

 

[Kida]

173/178 for me.

TIE FIghter, NBA Jam, Original XCOM, Ultima Online and Inside are the ones I've never tried.

 

[Deleted member 4067]

96

How did some of these games even make this list

Like what? There's not a bad game on there.

 

[WhiteNovember]

Sooo... only played, not finished? Quick look says, Ive played a lot (every game starting with grim Fandango, and many before), but not finished every game.

 

[Zool]

I played 109 games. Mostly I haven't played the given pc-games.

 

[EloKa]

137 / 178 not too shabby. Probably finished less than 1/5 of those 137 games tho.

 

[Fatmanp]

I got 92.

 

[aember]

101. Played titles really picked up as it got to the newer stuff.

 

[Kill3r7]

At the time of release or ever? Because many of these games have been rereleased several times.

Played - 127

 

[Jimnymebob]

117 , give or take a few.

 

[Nooblet]

96

 

[Deleted member 21601]

I played 130 of those games.

 

[Atrophis]

122

 

[ffvorax]

[Budi]

Yeah, third person ones too. I don't like really violent games.

Click to shrink...

Aah well yeah, plenty of those on the list.

 

[Red Liquorice]

95 games not played. A lot of PC games, a lot of FPS etc.

On the other hand, I've played hundreds of games not on that list, and there was probably less than 5 games on the list I would include in my 178 all time best, and probably the same amount I'd actively want to play that I haven't.

[Arkhanor]

104 (If i'm not forgetting anything). Some of theses games I still have in my backlog but didn't touch it yet haha

 

[LiegeWaffle]

I think I have about 70-80 of those depending on definition of "played". Funnily enough I think the only version of Pong I played was the one I wrote myself for a class.

Are all games on this list still playable? I thought some MMOs might be dead, but apparently both EverQuest and Ultima Online still exist in some form.

 

[PawBroon]

109/178. A fairly decent spread throughout both in terms of release date and genre. Biggest gaps are RPGs in general, and the Zelda series in particular.

 

[jstevenson]

I'm like 163 or so.

 

[lazerface66]

I'm at 166. Not too shabby.

 

[joghia]

107

 

[smuf]

I came out at 146.

 

[JamboGT]

146 for me. That's a bit mad.

 

[spam musubi]

176 - nights into dreams and panzer dragoon saga.

 

[Leviathan]

101 here.

I was simultaneously unsurprised to see many games on the list shouldn't be here and surprised by just how many did. Overall, I think it's a good look for game reviews

 

[Kismet]

111

Pretty good.

But most games were released during my "gamer-era"
I rarely game nowadays :(

 

[Barrel Cannon]

I've played everything except the following

-Phantasy Star 4(I'm surprised by this one as I like the series but never got around to playing 4)
-Guitar Hero(played the sequels but not the original)
-Rock Band 3(Played 1/2 but not 3)
-Tell Tales Walking dead(I own it but haven't played it.
-Inside
-The Witcher 3(waiting till I have a rig or XBX to run it)
-Bloodbourne(haven't beat it yet)
-GTA 5(got bored of campaign midway and stopped. this was on 360. I might revisit it in the future)

edit:Also many of the arcade titles I haven't "beat" either but I've played. Anything else that has a campaign or SP has been completed(not necessarily to 100% for something like Gran Turismo)

 

[Deleted member 31817]

66 the vast majority coming from the past 2 gens

 

[Jakenbakin]

96 but probably like 30 of them I didn't play much of. There's a few others I have tried demos of or played at a friend's house for a few minutes I didn't count as well.

 

[baberunisei]

37 and most of them are from the early days. No interest in playing most of the games representing the modern era in that list.

That doesn't mean there aren't GOATs being released today. They just aren't in that list. Nex Machina, Tetris Effect, Street Fighter 4 for example...

 

[chezzymann]

Interesting how they left off skyward sword and twilight princess

 

[jman912]

54/178
Not bad for someone without a Sony or Microsoft console (Did borrow a friend's PS4 to play Bloodborne).

 

[B4mv]

Interesting. The list is almost perfectly cut in half for me.
You can really see the genre's I just typically ignore in the breakdown (namely, Strategy and Horror)

[Faith]

57 for me, a little less than I thought I would have played.

 

[GameShrink]

74, but I'm pretty picky now. I used to experiment with basically any kind of game, but now I'm almost exclusively an ARPG player.

Also, no Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow or Demon's Souls on this list makes me sad. Dragon's Dogma too, but I understand how polarizing it is.

 

[Karlinel]

106, I'm unsure of a few but the certain ones being over 100 surprises me.

 

[neon_dream]

160 was how many I'd played enough to say I'd played the game. Went back to count how many I'd finished or, for games without an end-screen, played thoroughly.

That's 114.

 

[Deleted member 45765]

75. Also Wipeout was amazing on the PlayStation Picks Purple demo disc, does not age well in 2019.
