There are a number of game franchises that I haven't touched (Halo, Splinter Cell, Tony Hawk, any sports game, etc) but that's mostly due to lack of time and/or appropriate game console to play them. I would consider the Dragon Quest games to fall under the category of being truly "epic" and I have never played any of them other than a half hour or so of the first NES game. Killing slimes...yay.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
Save your tears for the day
When our pain is far behind
On your feet, come with me
We are soldiers stand or die
Save your fears, take your place
Save them for the judgement day
Fast and free, follow me
Time to make the sacrifice
We rise or fall

I'm sure there's plenty of series I haven't got to yet, but from the series mentioned in this thread so far, the only ones I haven't played a game from are:

Suikoden ~ I really intend to play some real soon.
Fire Emblem ~ It's got "FIRE" in it, but I've never played a game. :/ This worries me
Panzer Dragoon ~ I don't even know what it's about, but it's got awesome music
Ratchet & Clank ~ My friends mentioend how awesome the games are, but I've never got around to it.
Jak & Daxter ~ In the same boat/showbox/bag/penthouse. ^^
Phantasy Star ~ Just doesn't seem like my type of game.
Elder Scrolls ~ Again, I've been meaning to, but it just hasn't happened.
Fatal Frame ~ The covers for the games just keep standing out when I look at PS2 games in the store. It's calling out to me, but I ignore it. I need to get sucked in at some point. Maybe I'm scared.
Shadow of the Colossus ~ Just got it a few weeks ago, and I'll play it soon.
God of War ~ Just got it a few weeks ago, and I'll play it soon.
Pikmin ~ My GameCube games collection is steadily growing now, but I haven't played a game from this series yet.
Guilty Gear ~ Fucking awesome music from the many, many soundtracks I've heard; but I've nver played a game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I have never touched the Suikoden series, although, interestingly I have many of the soundtracks... weird eh?

Xenosaga - Never got into it, mainly because I had grown away from Video Games.

Phantasy Star - Great franchise, but never touched it.

Off the top of my head, and here comes the irony.


I'VE NEVER PLAYED ACE COMBAT.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Oh yeah, I LOVE Ace Combat.... but I have NEVER played it either. I have wanted to, but have never received the chance to do so.

Maybe when a PS3 version comes out, I will then. Graphics are going to be AMAZING then!

Game series I haven't touched yet include Suikoden, Xeno, DDS, & Lunar - although I have most of these I just haven't had the time to play them yet. Obviously I'm an rpg freak

I haven't touched any other sort of gaming franchise as they don't interest me at all - unless you count Crash, Spyro & Ratchet, I really enjoyed them for light relief!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Never played the Suikoden series, nor the Ace Combat games, or Myst.

Suikoden is kinda rare where I live, and I'm not a fan of importing games, I'll get it one day though. Ace Combat has never really appealed to me, and Myst looks very boring, and the reviews that I read for it didn't do it any favours.

You know, the first thing that comes to mind is that I haven't played either of the Marathon games by Bungie. That's about all I can come up with. Nothing mentioned in this thread otherwise has really went untouched by me in some form or another.

So you take the same approach to games as you do to small children, Mr. Skills?

Final Fantasy. Yes, believe it or not, I have yet to play any Final Fantasy games nor am I about to. I love the series music and follow it closely, but I refuse to play any of the games thanks to it's rather retarded fan base.

Plus, I like to slip that I've never played a FF game into RPG discussions sometimes, it always gets nerds going.

I was speaking idiomatically.

You know....now that I think about it, I've never actually played a Final Fantasy game either. I mean...I've SEEN friends play several large chunks of the games from FF6 on up as well as having seen the endings to 7 , 9, and 10. But I can't remember actually having played one outside of a tiny bit of 6 (which I'm not really sure if I actually played or not since its been so incredibly long...)

Huh.

Really? =o









These are Megaman games. Every now and then Capcom will release a platformer spin-off. They made six of them on NES, but all of them were ignored and are often spat on. I believe they kept making the failure spin-off games for SNES and PlayStation, even gathering them up and trying to trick people into buying collections of them on PS2 and GC. Of course the only reason anyone bought those collections was for the true Megaman games like Power Battle and Battle and Chase.

How ya doing, buddy?

Compared to many people, I don't have a very diverse video game collection. I could list many epic series' that I haven't even touched but I'll just say a few:

Zelda
Resident Evil
Ace Combat
Phantasy Star
Metroid

There are many games I've been looking up and I'm hoping I'll be able to play them soon...

Oh, and I sort of lied, I've played The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for a short time, and I didn't think it was that great. But then again, I was a naive kid back then...

...*cough*

The rest I don't consider to be "Epic" per se.
Just thought of some more...

Silent Hill (again, I'm not sure if it's epic or not)
Resident Evil (maybe 2 minutes of the first one, but that was it)
Xenogears/Xenosaga (maybe the first 3 minutes of xenogears)
Any MMO game.
Valkryie Profile (Don't shoot me!)

Let's see where to begin...

Zone of Eaters
Pikman

The biggest I haven't touched at all was Mega Man, nothing appeals to me at all about that series.

I really never got into devil may cry either, just not my cup of tea, but maybe I'll give them a try later on.
