And why? For me, i would definitely choose minecraft, it would just feel like real life after a while. Also add a VR and you don’t have to leave haha
Let’s see how Starfield turns out to be. If it is any good, it will entertain me for thousands of hours and if it has good mod support, why not commit for it for the rest of my days? Still a lot of ifs tho
The Mass Effect trilogy (I consider it one game) - no matter how many times I play it, it still feels fresh.
I would love to say Crusader Kings, but it’s probably chess.
Path of Exile.
Cribbage, mainly because I like calling out 'one for his knob '.
Could probably be happy with Hades
Although if Halo MCC count as one game…
I’d go with “Hide the Sausage”.
Minecraft, while nothing particularly special to me, is most likely what I would choose. The potential for making your own fun in that game is ridiculous even if its been the victim of bad new mechanics bloating vanilla for the past decade. Even the longest of my favorite games cap out around 200-300 hours with all their content squeezed out of them, and with the amount of gaming I do on the regular thats gonna last me a few months at best.
For me it’s Assetto Corsa (modded, in VR). Most-immersive, addictive, exciting gaming experience possible, in my opinion. I did thousands of miles on the Tokyo interstate at night alone, just trying out different cars. Sometimes raining. Sometimes not. Listen to music while you drive/race. Really amazing.
The Binding of Isaac: Repentance.
Rocket league. I know some people consider it the same thing over and over, but to me it plays like a sport. Every match is different, I’ve been playing almost daily since the pandemic, which is when I got into it. And apparently I’m in the top 5% of players. Which just shows how much the game clicked with me
This is a risky choice long-term, though. Sure it buys you a few years, but what about in 10-20 years if/when the servers are closed and it’s just you, Caveman, Boomer, and the boys?
Pull up a chair and let me tell you about a little game called Nethack.
Age of Empires 2. I am playing it for 24 years already, so why not 50 more?
Rocket League
And I’m gonna hate the rest of my life
At this point, I think I might have to go for monster hunter. Or Dragon’s Dogma. Just some kind of super deep action RPG would do it.
