That one game you want to play RIGHT now, but can't

[Leemaster777]

So yeah, with a hobby like gaming, there's always going to be THOSE moments. Those moments where you can think of ONE game you really, really want to play, but for one reason or another, you simply CAN'T.

First off, I want to say that this topic isn't about games that AREN'T RELEASED YET. It must be something that is already available. Also, it should preferably be a game you have already played, but can no longer play (i.e., you no longer own the game, or your system is broken, etc.).

For me, that game is Persona 4. See, I just beat Persona 3 for the first time a few days ago (on PSP), and it's given me a hankering for Persona 4 (probably doesn't help that I've been listening to Persona 4's soundtrack as well). Unfortunately for me, I no longer own a backwards-compatable PS3. So my Persona 4 game is just sitting on my shelf, staring at me, and I can't do a damn thing about it.

So what about you guys? What games do you REALLY want to play, but are unable to?

Hmhm... at the moment for me that's Dragon Age: Origins. I've played through it once but then my Hard drive got wiped. I have the ultimate edition so it's 24 gig to dl x_X. Oh, and I also want to play the new Mortal Kombat but can't afford to buy it at the minute =/

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Skyrim, of course.

What a surprise

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd HD for the PS3.

It gets released later this month in Japan.

No word on a western release yet, but Capcom say they're pushing for one.

I can wait for Skyrim, Mass Effect 3 etc.

I don't have a PSP, so the only MH game I can play is Tri.

 

[zombiestrangler]

Gee, I really have no idea. Oh, wait, yes I do:
Why isn't it November yet?!

Edit: Sorry didn't read too carefully. Um, I guess Dead Space 2 and Homefront.

Right now? It's a close tie between three.

Dance Dance Revolution Extreme (1 or 2). Since I don't have the pads, and I refuse to buy them since I prefer the arcade machines, if I could spin around on Heavy difficulty to some awesome techno songs, I would be a happy guy.

Modern Warfare 3. I want to play the Survival mode BADLY.

Diablo 3. I want to rock a Witch Doctor... NOW

Skyrim

I almost can't imagine how anyone can think anything else

 

[Dchao]

I really want to play The Last Guardian, so sooo bad. No news of it at E3, sadly.

 

[AlAaraaf74]

To everyone saying Skyrim: this thread isn't supposed to be about games which haven't been released yet. I would have said the same, but he even said not to do that.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Wind Waker. Lost the disc, and have no GameCube memory card. It's hard, considering it's my favorite game ever. Every time I play it, it seems to get better.

Shit, I've changed my mind! I want this one!

 

[Last Hugh Alive]

I want to play Arkahm City but can't obviously.

But the wait is actually making me REALLY consider buying Arkham Asylum again just to pass the time. The wait is killing me.

 

[Arina Love]

hmmmm from what released now: IDOLM@STER for xbox 360. sadly i will probably ever play it.
from not released it's Skyrim and Mass Effect 3 wait for those is killing me!

 

[EHKOS]

Although I really want to play Skyrim and have that cloth map in my hands, the game I want to play most is From Dust, which was delayed on the PC.

HOW COULD YOU NOT?!

 

[LookingGlass]

Even though it's not a great game, I wanted to play Deus Ex: Invisible War again. I planned to finish the two Deus Ex games before Human Revolution came out. I installed them both, added graphics mods to them both, did a new game test on each to see that they ran. They did.

Played through the original. Opened up Invisible War. Watched the opening cutscene. Selected my difficulty and character appearance.

BLACK SCREEN OF DEATH.

No amount of internet searching found a solution that worked for me. If anyone fixed it and feels like offering a possible solution, I'm all ears. Most common seemed to be "close your Chrome windows"... but I don't even have Chrome installed.

 

[jawakiller]

A good one for a change.

 

[deathbyoatmeal]

Bully, easily one of my favorite games of all time, but now i only have an original xbox and ps3

 

[Cogwheel]

Just Cause 2, Call of Pripyat or Magicka would all be fairly nice. I own all of the above and my computer can run none of them.
