Games You Intended to Buy But Just...Didn't?

[Moonface]

Had this thought yesterday when I got reminded of Returnal and how that was originally a game I would have got for my PS5 but then just didn't, and now I don't know if I'll ever actually care to get it. So how many games have you intended to buy but just didn't, and not necessarily just because the game turned out poorly but because you just never got around to it for any reason?

For me I have quite a good amount, assuming this is all of them and I didn't forget any:

• Another Crab's Treasure
  
• Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
  
• Dragon's Dogma 2
  
• Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes
  
• Final Fantasy XVI
  
• Hitman 3
  
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  
• The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
  
• Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
  
• Mario & Luigi: Brothership
  
• Mario Strikers: Battle League
  
• Marvel's Spider-Man 2
  
• Metal: Hellsinger
  
• Minecraft Dungeons
  
• Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl
  
• Octopath Traveler 2
  
• Penny's Big Breakaway
  
• Resident Evil 3 Remake
  
• Returnal
  
• Sifu
  
• Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
  
• Stellar Blade
  
• Subnautica
  
• Super Mario World + Bowser's Fury
  
• The Callisto Protocol
  
• Tunic
  

The majority are just games that came out, I didn't buy them near their release, and over time forgot about them to the point when I was reminded of them I kinda shrugged and thought "eh" about whether I actually get and play them or not. Others just didn't turn out as good as I hoped for so I just don't care to get them period, such as RE3R or The Callisto Protocol.

LEGO Island 2 was one that I wanted back in the early 2000s. I'd enjoyed the original, as well as some of the other LEGO games... but, I think I was a bit busy playing those other games, plus Railroad Tycoon II and the Harry Potter games .

Also, XCOM 2. I think I just didn't bother because I never finished the first one, despite liking it!

For more recent games;

Devil May Cry 5
Eiyuden Chronicles
Granblue Fantasy Versus
Legend of Mana Remaster (this might still be on my Switch wishlist)
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario Party Jamboree
The Last Of Us Part II
Triangle Strategy
Yoshi's Crafted World


I didn't include Doom Eternal or Ghost of Tsushima from my early post in Anticipated Games, or Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Granblue Fantasy ReLink as these games never entered the phase of "I feel like buying this at some point". These ones were, although TLOU2 more of entered that phase before I saw anything unlike the rest when I watched their trailers. Most of them are because I lost interest, although DMC5 I didn't so that was more of literally just not getting it.

Some aren't added to this list because I'm still on the fence like M&L Brothership on if/when I'll buy it.
