Do you have PC Games that you bought because they were on sale, but never play?

What are some PC games that you've purchased, but never play? Games from Steam that I don't play are Mass Effect and FarCry 1 & 2. I bought them because they were so cheap, but in the end I'll never play them because they don't interest me as much as I thought they would. The same can probably be said for Age of Empires III, which I got for $0.10 through the Games for Windows marketplace. How about you guys?

No, but ive bought games on Steam that I already own just so I can have it on Steam. Iantheone

Why? That's just a waste of money.

I've played a bit of these games, but haven't got more than half of the way through. I will get to them at some point.:roll:

Oh yea... Empire at War, AoEIII, Batman AA. I also have a quite few which came from game bundles on sale. I haven't touched half of my THQ Bundle and Codemasters Pack. flipin_jackass

Batman: AA is a damn good game. I recommend that you definitely give it a try.

I'd say I have never even installed about half of my Steam library. Granted, some games I only bought because they came in pack with another game I wanted and it was cheaper to buy the pack than the individual game. Bit.Trip Beat and VVVVVVV are prime examples of that.

Ive got over 50 games atm.Ill buy them when they go on sale..Also like to buy games ive got on cd..Is just easier to click instead of digging old cds out to play them..When you can just own them for cheap on steam..

Sure, I have tons of them. It's not that I lost interest in playing them, it's just been a combination of not having had time or being in the mood. I'm sure I'll get around to almost all of them eventually.

Stupid Minecraft certainly hasn't made it any easier to make time though. :lol:

i got red orchestra for free( i hope it counts) last month from steam but never had any chance to play for reason unknown...malikmmm

BAD. SHAME. You go into Steam and play RO right now!

Seriously, though. I've had RO since 2009, but until my friend got a copy of the game for free (like I assume you did) I barely touched the game. After a couple of sessions with the two of us against randoms, I really started to get into the game and appreciate it. It's probably one of my favourite military shooters, if not favourite game.

EDIT - Forgot to post... I bought the Witcher and World in Conflict and have only touched both a total of something like 20 minutes (and that was just the WiC tutorial). But I get the OP. I have found a ton of old "classic" PC games that I think I want to play, and after an hour or a half, I put it down and never touch it again. I like having them, but let's be honest, I'm probably never going to get around to playing them when I have newer games stealing my attention.

Very poor attempt at making me look like a hypocrite. I never intended to waste my money when I bought those games; I thought I'd like them. However, he knowingly bought games that he already owns. The situations are VERY different, which is why your point is invalid.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] So is buying games you never play. millerlight89

I thought you were referring to the games which I bought, but don't play, and mentioned in the OP.

Bought the entire THQ pack on Steam, Just Cause 2, The Witcher, and Dragon Age all to just sit on my desktop :)Lord_DoDo56

Just Cause 2 is absolute stunning. The visual presentation is simply beautiful.

Have a lot too. Damn Steam, Amazon and Target clearance section. These are just the ones that haven't been opened, way more that were started but not finished, yet.

Assassins Creed 2, Splinter cell: Conviction, Aliens vs Predator, Just Cause 2, GTA4:EFLC, Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Athena.

PS3: Infamous, God of War I & II, Metal Gear Solid 4

I barely touched Supreme Commander 2, the Indie Pulse Pack and the Indie Clever Pack too. And also Overlord 2 and Operation Arrowhead.

Hmm lets see..i'll probably get flamed for this but i never got arround to finish Baldur's Gate 2. Sure I've played some of it but the interface kindda puts me off..seems confusing coming from NWN1/2.

A few games from Steam sales that I plan to play over the Holidays. But I know I will buy more games from the Steam Holiday sale, it's a never ending cycle.

Not many thoughI don't know if buying games in a pack should count. I bought the Orange Box for the episodes, extra HL2 which I gave my son, and portal. Have had to this day no interest in TF2 and thus never played it. I've had alot of games I've bought that I played only a short time before I leave them thinking I'll come back to them but I never do.

On the subject of wasted money it's my money to waste or not as I see fit. Many people would consider a fine single malt or expensive dinner a waste but I would not. It's pretty much subjective. Just sayin'.

Quite a few from Steam:

Call of Pripyat, Psychonauts, Beyond Good & Evil, Garry's Mod, Droplitz, QuantZ, The Last Remnant

Tons. I'll get to them onrainy/snowy day.

I got games from those steam packs sales some of them I don't have interest in and others just have not had the time to go through them all. Then there are a few games that were extremely cheap on sale but again haven't got a chance to get round to them.

I have a bunch of PC games that I got on sale but never play. There are several reasons for this.

1) Time. I work for a living, have a Fiancee and a child and split my gaming time between my PC, my iPhone, my 360 and my PS3. I just haven't gotten around to completing all of my games yet.

2) Cheap bundles on Steam. Example: The Eidos Pack. it was 20 games for $50 including Batman: AA which was $50 by itself at the time. I sold my PS3 version of Batman: AA for $40 and bought the Eidos pack getting Batman: AA, Mini-Ninjas, Battlestations, Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Thief, Hitman, etc, etc.

Yeah, I have a few of those... some of them I will play when I get the time, but others I'll probably never play.

I haven't played Prey, Flotilla, Dogfighter or Altitude yet. And I haven't beaten at least 12 others >_>.

I bought Civ IV when steam had a sale on the game and all the expansions for like $10. I had played the demo and enjoyed it but I just havene't loaded it up because I have other games that I prefer to play right now. I also already owned STALKER CoS but I ended up getting it again on steam when they had a deal for it and CoP for cheap. The deal for both games was half the price of CoP by itself.
