Hurro Escapist!
Some context for my question; There are quite a few game series's that I will (for lack of better term) "Advertise" to my friends as being great games, I'll defend their design choices and compare them to other games in conversation...but I haven't actually played. Normally, this comes from hearing that the game is good, then going and doing some research on it so that I can hold conversations about it and seem like I know what I'm talking about (I know, I'm terrible =P)
So my question for you is, do you have any games like this?
For example, some of mine, If I had to list off my top RPG's off of the top of my head, Chrono Trigger would be right up there, but for a long time I hadn't even played it (I have now, pitchforks down everyone). I'd still talk about it as though I had, praise the story, etc, but had never actually played it; same for Final Fantasy 7 (MOST final fantasies actually), Thief series and Diablo. I try and get these games off my pile of shame ASAP (And indeed, all of those I just mentioned I've completed now), so that my limited knowledge doesn't screw me over at some point, but they're still there.
Everyone else?
