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
Probably Rimworld. With the storytelling aspect, each playthrough feels like a different experience.
I was finally able to understand Dwarf Fortress after spending time with Rimworld (and thanks to the 1.0 GUI update to DF). Definitely try it, if you haven’t. Basically the same with a few wrinkles, but sooooo much added complexity/detail. Endlessly deep, for sure.
Plus the pure number of mods that can totally revamp and refresh things.
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
Definitely zero chance you’ll be disappointed. I say get a head start and delete all other games now. Save yourself for it.
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?
I’d go with “Hide the Sausage”.
I have about ~9,000 hours logged in Skyrim over the last twelve years thanks to mods, and I’m sure I’m not done. So I’ll stick with that.
Skyrim would probably be mine as well. There is just a lot that can be done with mods to vary it up.
Yeah, even unmodded you can easily dump 200+ hours into a single playthrough just exploring. Then another 100+ if you add just Legacy of the Dragonborn.
Have you had a chance to try modded + in VR? Refreshes it completely once again.
VR isn’t really my thing, no. Thanks to my ADD I’m one of those nutjobs who has Skyrim going on one screen, a TV show on another, and Reddit (historically) open on my phone for during loading screens.
I would love to say Crusader Kings, but it’s probably chess.
Age of Empires 2. I am playing it for 24 years already, so why not 50 more?
Minecraft with mods definetly - really adds a lot of variety, and even though I take long breaks i’ve been playing it a ridiculous amount of time since early beta maybe 11 or so years ago.
I have some of the super realistic shaders installed + mods to allow for easily placing entire rows/walls/etc… It’s the ultimate creative sandbox. I’m spoiled by it now.
The Mass Effect trilogy (I consider it one game) - no matter how many times I play it, it still feels fresh.
Cribbage, mainly because I like calling out 'one for his knob '.
Probably Diablo 2 LoD. Best ARPG ever made.
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.
Elite Dangerous, assuming the servers would stay up I have an entire galaxy to explore
Elden Ring is a contender for sure
Minecraft. Mods are like magic, and can totally change the game. I’ve lost countless hours just poking around and building fun things, even on vanilla.
