If you could only play one game for the rest of your life...

[Bribolox]

There are three games that I have played multiple times and can finish them and immediately start a new file and play again: Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King (I just enjoy writing the entire title out...), Final Fantasy IX and XII.  If I had to chose one, it would be the FF12.

Online it would be World of Warcraft, even though I'm frustrated/bored with it atm..

 

[EternalShadow]

Online for me would be Old-School Runescape

But yeah, agreed on 12. I played it with a guide though xD

This is pretty tough top choices for me would be:

-Skyrim cause that game has a crazy amount of hours you could put into it between all the quests and all the potential characters of different races you could make.

-Pokemon because well you can play that game for basically over and over again just by raising up new teams and if there were other people who picked pokemon as their only game to play for the rest of their life at least there would be other people to battle and trade with.

-Chrono cross because it is my favorite game, 60 some characters to recruit requiring multiple files, a multitude of endings and one of the best soundtracks around. You can play this game many times over and still find new things in it whether it is a character, piece of equipment or a windowskin. Furthermore each character has there own variation of dialogue during story events and conversations that reflects there style of speaking further adding to the variation on playthroughs.

Overall I'd pick Chrono Cross but Skyrim is a close second.

Either Borderlands 2, Ace Combat 5 or Septerra Core Legacy of the Creator.

I would go With Disgaea !

It's a really great series and every disgaea game i completed like +5 times, i play it over and over again !

I'm going to take a chance and preemptively say No Man's Sky without having played it yet. It seems like the kind of game I could get literally and figuratively lost in for an absurd amount of time, haha.

I'd just alternate between Dark Souls and Bloodborne because I literally can't get tired of those games ever.

 

[Scythuz]

It's either Morrowind or one of the Souls games for me.  Both options have a pretty much unlimited amount of depth, particularly Morrowind with it's incredibly vast mod scene!

 

[metronome]

Before answering this question, I would like to know if the game I choose must be permanent or could the game I choose be something that could be upgraded by DLC/etc forever?

 

[AceOfAces_Mod]

Whicherever you like?

 

[Bell Kruz]

Hmmm...

If it's online I do choose something like Guild Wars 2. If it's offline I prefer skyrim~

 

[Perversewolf]

Pokemon Yellow it was my very first game i'd like to finish where I started

Just an fyi it is the only Pokemon game I have played.

 

[markjacks]

FF12 for sure. Nothing else like it.

 

[Seacliff]

I'll create the Elder Scrolls Collection, then go with that.

That's actually a tough question, and to be honest, I was thinking about it for a while. However, I start to realize that no video game can actually fulfill that requirement (or at least not "mainstream game"), as they aren't updated regularly, and after a while, you'd get bored of it. Lifespan is actually too long for one game, doesn't matter how good it is.


If I can "cheat", I'd say one of the Skylanders games, as because of how they work (regular updates via figures), they actually take more gameplay time than any other games currently. Or I'd say an online game like Elder Scrolls Online (for me, it is still considered "cheating")


If I can say games other than video games, I'd say Cardfight!! Vanguard. It is just the perfect trading card game for me. All the clans featured in the game are completely different worlds with different art, design, and completely different playstyles. To make it even better, the regular "updates" (new expansions/boosters) are actually supporting old cards.


If I can only say a non-online video game, I'd say one of the LittleBigPlanet games, or Journey. If it is the "imagine you're on an island alone" situation, I'd definitely go with Journey. Not only it has a deep meaning and perfectly defined as a form of art, but in such a situation, it'd help me keeping hope in myself.

League of Legends has never gotten old to me, so probably that. If we're talking single player experience, I think Romance of the Three kingdoms 11. There's something romantic about ancient Han, and there's no greater achievement than helping your lord unite China.
