Hey everyone. Up for another crazy question?

I wouldn't be surprised if this question was already asked before (sorry if that's the case) because I usually ask myself this whenever I play a really good game. This time, it's Fire Emblem: Awakening that made this thought pop in my head again.

So yeah. If you can only play 5 games forever, what will those be?

Here are the side parameters to benefit the question:

  • This question only concerns video games. It doesn't include tabletop games (board games), physical games (like paintball), and etc. (Kinda obvious, but some might get confused).
  • Servers will forever be up for online-reliant games, however, the player base will still change according to its popularity.
  • Every bug will be fixed on chosen game/s.
  • Any game, on any platform is allowed.
  • You can mod your chosen game/s.
  • Feel free to add stuff to benefit your chosen game/s. (e.g. Check my Monster Rancher 4 choice)
  • Expansions are allowed on chosen game/s as long as the expansions require the base game to play.
  • To make things a little easier, announced games until the end of 2015 are allowed.

That's about it. If you think some parameters should be removed/ added, feel free to comment on it.

Here's the list that I came up with off the top of my head, in no particular order of preference.

  • Monster Rancher 4 provided that I get all the discs needed to unlock all monsters
  • Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
  • DOTA2 (I'm screwed if DOTA3 pops up. C'mon Valve, no need to work on those 3s.)
  • Civilization V
  • Portal 2 (maybe, I can't think of a good 5th choice)

There you have it. Thanks for reading and a lot more for answering :D

Borderlands 2 is a great choice. Too bad that I burned myself out of it because I played it 2 weeks straight right when I got it with my brother.

I fell you....it's so frustrating that I get a new game and sometimes I stop playing it and buy another one even if I like it.I just can't understand why.

Okay, so what about series that have direct sequels where to enjoy a later game fully, you do have to play the earlier games?

Monster Hunter series.

That's all.

  • League of Legends (been playing for a little over 1 year)
  • Hearthstone (still new but a card game couldn't hurt)
  • Team Fortress 2 (I haven't played in awhile but I'm sure I could jump back in and have a ton of fun)

It's hard to say what the rest would be. I definitely need the games to be multiplayer in this scenario and although I could say Battlefield is one of the games I would add there's no definitive version that lasts. A MMORPG isn't coming to mind although I wish one would (maybe FFXIV Reborn or something like Monster Hunter). Destiny and Titanfall could be those games I randomly throw-in but I haven't played either. Maybe a Halo game because they always looked fun but I never got really into it. Could just toss Dota 2 or Heroes of the Storm in the mix if I ever got bored of LoL. Years ago I would have said StarCraft but StarCraft II multiplayer didn't grab me for years like the old one did. SFIV or MVC3 for some fighters? I DON'T KNOW!

I also highly considered USFIV but the FGC here in my place is nonexistent. I can enjoy streams and VODs for my fighting games hunger.

Have you tried duel of champions? Or Infinity wars? If you're gonna stick to one, better choose well.

I really enjoyed DoC (it's obviously a more "hardcore" card game) but I had some major problems with how long it took to gain cards and what I felt was the developer's lack of love for the game (in patches, bug fixes, etc). Hearthstone has a draft mode I really enjoy and I also know with complete certainty Blizzard will keep adding things to Hearthstone and that I don't really have to grind.

  1. Crusader Kings II - including future expansions
  2. Europa Universalis IV - also including future expansions
  3. Victoria II - see above
  4. Hearts of Iron IV(going to be optimistic here - if it ends up sucking, then III) - same story with Exp
  5. Tough choice between HoMM3 and Skyrim w/mods...mmm...let's say Skyrim. The first four should scratch the strategy itch already.

I'm unsure about the 5th though. Its a toss up between: Dungeons of Dredmor, Terraria/Starbound, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, FTL, C&C Red Alert 2, or Dark Souls.
