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

If you could only play one game for the rest of your life, what would it be. But WAIT. There's a catch. You can't go online, and you only have one controller. This can be any game that was ever made.

I mean a video game, you guys.

Phantasy Star Online Episode 1&2 (but played offline, ofcourse)

#3 Posted by falserelic (2564 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

I actually can't imagine that. If that's the case I probably won't be a gamer no more.

#4 Posted by chrissedoff (1694 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Civilization

#5 Posted by InfectedPhreak (8 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

.Hack series, if possible. If only ONE game and not the entire series, I'd still play .Hack. xD

#6 Posted by Akeldama (4130 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Solitaire, Tetris, Dark Souls

#7 Posted by IBurningStar (2003 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Metal Gear Solid 3.

#8 Posted by Kazona (2991 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

If I can only play one game, I would stop playing games altogether.

#9 Posted by TwoLines (2595 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Either Tetris or Doom.

#10 Posted by bjorno (1375 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

BIG RIGS OVER THE ROAD RACING

#11 Posted by MyNiceIceLife (553 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

my gut answer is persona 4, but i'm sure that would get boring after awhile. in the end i'd probably go with civilization (either 3 or 4) or maybe GTA San Andreas.

easy, chess. dont even need electronics.

#13 Posted by Sooty (6691 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Offline/1 player only...then Minecraft.

#14 Posted by Vexxan (4550 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

I never get bored when I'm playing Tetris so I'd pick that.

#15 Posted by MODernChris (243 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Civilization IV (with a couple of choice mods of course).

#16 Posted by SAC (101 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Animal Crossing (GC) or GTA: San Andreas

#17 Posted by PenguinDust (12093 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Probably The Operational Art of War III. Good old fashioned bare-bones wargame like I played on kitchen table tops before computers did everything better.

#18 Posted by GloriousDinosaur (409 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Fifa... anyone of them really

#19 Edited by JoeyRavn (4401 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Tetris DS. Or Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver.

... and if you push me enough, I could say Diablo III.

Edit: Oh, yeah. Minecraft should be my first (or second) choice.

#20 Posted by Contrarian (1143 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Fire Emble: Path of Radiance.

#21 Posted by laserbolts (5117 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

I'd go with minecraft.

#22 Posted by DoctorDanger99 (641 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

three way tie between san andreas,mgs2 and skyrim.

#23 Posted by Kaowas (109 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Just Cause 2. I'm pretty certain I'll die before I make it to 100% in that game anyway.

#24 Posted by ExportA (24 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Minecraft. The possibilities are endless.

#25 Posted by Animasta (12758 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Crusader Kings 2 or Europa Universalis 3, I dunno which

Sim city, civilization and the sims are good candidates.

It would be a very short rest of my life.

#28 Posted by deox (202 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Civilization... I never get bored of that series!

#29 Posted by Gearhead (2249 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Starcraft II

#30 Posted by Purpz (81 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Fallout/Skyrim. That would be epic.

#31 Posted by WilltheMagicAsian (1521 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

The only game I would choose is pretty much online only so I can't do it. I'd just stop playing games.

#32 Posted by Brodehouse (7119 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Asteroids.

I have a feeling people who say story and exploration games don't understand how long a life really is. You will see absolutely every cranny of Skyrim within six months. Then all you have left is the gameplay.

#33 Posted by a7madHD (10 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

skyrim or super smash bros brawl

#34 Posted by Icicle7x3 (888 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Heroes of Might and Magic 3

#35 Posted by Hizang (8536 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

No matter what game I chose I would get bored, for me to spend the rest of my life on one game is pretty impossible for me to stay in the mindset of this game being awesome. Especially without multiplayer for a hook there really is no game.

#36 Posted by cutyoface (370 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Any Civilization game.

#37 Posted by ZeForgotten (9470 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Golf

#38 Posted by believer258 (7839 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

I'd just stop playing games, period. One single game would get boring.

#39 Posted by casper_ (730 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

it would have to be something that was a bit different every time so probably DF or crusader kings 2

#40 Posted by UncleClassy (394 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Probably C&C; Generals or Rome: Total War.

#41 Edited by KaneRobot (997 posts) - 10 months, 21 days ago

Probably Rock Band 3, as long as all my DLC is permitted. This would also allow me to get around the "if you could only listen to one album" problem that would surely be imposed at the same time.

Other than puzzle games like Tetris, it's the only one I could see not getting completely tired of.

this.

#43 Posted by AngelN7 (2835 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

I don't like Minecraft but I guess that would be the easy choice, is a big sandbox so you're limited by the stuff you can actually build and do in the game and your imagination , plus it takes ages to build something in minecraft so that would help.

#44 Posted by swfcfan (263 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

Tiger Woods Golf 12 or Space Invaders.....hmmmm...... I guess that I could still play RL Golf but I can't kill space Invaders so Space Invaders wins!

#45 Posted by RabidCentipede (548 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

Probably a sports game. Would either be a basketball, football or soccer game.

I don't think I could play a regular game over and over and over for the rest of my life, it would eventually get way too boring. At least with a sports game there is some variation every time you play.

#46 Posted by captain_clayman (3164 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

i'd probably just stop gaming. and kill myself.

#47 Posted by JonSmith (166 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

The next Elder Scrolls game. The real one, not that MMO bull. All other games I could classify as 'interactive cinematic experiences'. Thus allowing me to play them without worry.

#48 Posted by Morrow (1793 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

I'd either go with Fallout or Skyrim, or an "endless" game like an MMORPG.

#49 Posted by Remedy25 (131 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

It'd either be Civ 5 or Diablo 2 LoD...it would be Diablo 3, but of course can't play it offline.

#50 Posted by SadPatrol (474 posts) - 10 months, 20 days ago

Pokemon Fire Red
