TF2 like three times. I always come back a month after an update. Too late to score anything interesting.

PS1 JRPGS that aren't Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, or Final Fantasy IX. Even then, I had those games about between 2-4 years after they all came out, but that was still when they were fresh in people's minds, like if I were to start talking about Arkham Asylum right now. I'm JUST NOW getting into stuff like Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Persona 2 and Star Ocean: The Second Story.

I just bought Dead Island about 2 months ago.

I started Stalker about Mid Last Year.

I got Mass Effect around when the third installment of the game was released.

I bought Batman Arkham Asylum last year in august.

I came into minecraft about 7 months into its release (alpha release)

and there are plenty others, its funny going to college to study game design severely held my gaming back.

Heaps, particularly in regard to current gen games, since I didn't get a console until 2010. The one that springs to mind is Grand Theft Auto IV, since it was pretty much the biggest thing since sliced bread when it came out in 2008, and everyone was talking about it. Cut to 2009 when the expansions come out and everyone is talking about them. Then, I finally play it in 2010 and it just feels like...I'm late. I'm late to the party that ended 2 years ago.

alot of games I guess...but the feeling of "late to the pary" I think is stronger with some than others

like if somone said "mabye Ill try mass effect, portal or half life 2" I would be like "dude! you havnt played them?!"

but somthing like Infamous for Dead space its like "eh" (not to say they are bad games, but I guess not as "iconic")

speaking of which Infamous was my first ever PS3 game on my first ever current gen console..just last year

The only game that I can think off at the moment is Zelda Windwaker.

A friend of mine bought it for me as a birthday present, it was like a year after it came out, and it sat on my desk for the longest time and then I played it a few months ago.

To be fair, I'm kinda terrible at starting games right away, but still, that was a great game that I wish I played earlier.

Played the first X-com for the first time a few weeks ago. Fun but insanely hard and a huge time sink. Looking forward to the various remakes/spiritual successors that are on the way!

I'm always late to the party, I only tend to play games on release if I've already played the previous games.

Oh boy, story of my gaming life. I think this is the first console generation where I've actually had the option of buying games at launch, I was always a late adopter.

Games I've only just really gotten into:

Halo 3 multiplayer
The Assassins Creed series
Bioshock 1
Minecraft

I didn't get Half Life 2 until 2009 even though I loved Half Life 1. For some reason I can't remember is that I actually developed a hatred towards Half Life 2 (like I do for most popular things) and actually held off buying it. I do regret actually holding any form of hate towards this game and regard it as one of my favorite games of all time (behind Doom and CNC Red Alert)
