GAMES THAT ARE POPULAR BUT YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED

-The Paper Mario series
-Any Zelda game except Ocarina of Time
-Any Metal Gear
-Any Metroid game
-World of Warcraft
-Splinter Cell games
-Project Gotham or any "realistic" racing game (blech!)
-Mother/Earthbound games
-Any 3D GTA game
-Any Pokemon games
-Any Resident Evil game
-Any Mario Party game
-Any FF game after VII
-Any DQ after IV
-Generally, any game made after 1997


..there are probably others.

EDIT:

oh, and
-Any Age of Empires game
-Any of The Sims games
-Any WWII based shooter with multiple players and some people jump in tanks and planes and shit and you capture flags (or something) and have acronyms like BF1942.

95% of all popular FPS or music games released... let's say since 2000.
Also, any MMORPG that isn't City of Heroes/Villians

Others would be...
-Resident Evil (I don't know how this series became popular, I watched someone play it and I found it more stupid/funny than scary by any stretch of the imagination)
-Silent Hill, this series caught my eye somewhat but I never really bothered looking into it

I'm sure there's more, but if I haven't played it, then I probably won't remember it

Any Metal Gear
Almost Every MMORPG (the only two I have played are Runescape, and I still play maplestory)
Suikoden
ROCK BAND
Guitar Hero 3

There are probably more, but whatever

Also, Kentona, you NEED to try splinter cell chaos theory or Splinter cell Double agent, they are amazing games, and I reccomend them both (probably more Chaos Theory over Double Agent, because Chaos Theory sticks more to the trtaditional Splinter cell idea.) I would also recommend Paper Mario, not the one for Wii though. I prefer the 64 version over the Gamecube version as well.

Only MMORPG I ever really tried, come to think of it, was D&D Online: Stormreach.

World of fucking warcraft.

I've seen what that does to people, hence I will never play it.

I doubt a friend of mine will make it to 25 because of it. It looks alright, until you see the extreme playerws.

If they gave you EXP for assignment in schools then these people would excel at life.

I haven't played any MMO. Not that I dislike MMOs I just know that I would easily be hooked on any MMO and wouldn't be able to let go.

Other than that Any Xbox/Xbox 360 or PS3 exclusive. I haven't played most PS2 games either. I've never played on a Sega console either so no Sonic games (not even those not on Sega consoles)

Recently I've caught up with some of the games I've missed. Most notably Half-Life 2 (with the Orange Box) and GTA3 (and its sequel San Andreas).

I've stayed away from most RPGs too. Both Japanese and Western. I haven't played games like KoToR, Oblivion (or any of the predecessors) or Random-Japanese-RPG-everyone-raves-about (they all sound the same to me).


However whenever I've missed a certain game I've mostly felt that I've played a game similar enough to be able to dismiss it (most FPS share certain things for example).

I only play RPGs and only have a PS2/X and Snes, so no shoot'em ups, racing, sports, horror ect. No Kingdom Hearts, either. I tried it once and I got sick from the colours and rotating camera angles. Oouuh.

Yeah. Just good (and a few not good - Unlimited Saga, anyone?) RPGs.
