If you could pick only 1 game to play for the rest of your life.

What would it be and why?

For me.

Probably the sims 3.

Different families= unlimited replay value.

Ouch.

I would give up gaming, because that would be easier than having to choose from all the awesome games.

World of warcraft

Ouch.

Multiplayer = Counter Strike

Singleplayer = Mass Effect 2

World of Warcrafthexashadow13

Released now? I'd hate to say it, but World of Warcraft.

There's no doubt in my mind that they will keep releasing updates for this monolith of a game for years and years to come. Whereas any other game, they might introduce a few updates but if they make a sequel or the company works on a new project, their first one will be forgotten. This is where MMORPGS shine because of all the variety that comes into play and how long it'll take. There will always be something new to accomplish and because this is the biggest game due to the biggest fanbase, it'll continue to be updated.

Released later? FFXIV.

So moral of the story: Only 1 game for a lifetime? An MMORPG that will be updated for a lifetime.

Fifa .. Great replay value

That's a hard/impossible question I think. I'll pick the upcoming Halo Reach.MickeyTheNinja

[QUOTE="MickeyTheNinja"]That's a hard/impossible question I think. I'll pick the upcoming Halo Reach.TheDogout

Probably Sim City 3000 Unlimited

something with a big open world to just be able to enjoy the scenery from time to time and still have great gameplay and missions

so either WoW or oblivion

but ultimately prolly WoW....the amount of content in that game is astounding to me still to this date...dudes have been playing for 5 years and STILL haven't done everything

already out: Bad Company 2

not released yet: Halo Reach

I honestly don't know. Maybe Fallout 3?

Rollercoaster tycoon 1.

so much epic in 1 game.

Super Mario Bros. for the NES.

I'd give up gaming.

Anyways what's TAOD about? I haven't downloaded the demo yet, and the combat looks somewhat similar to a roguelike/tactical RPG.

Probably Disgaea. It'll take you a lifetime to completely max out all your characters. (This includes reaching Lvl 9999 then "reborning", rinse repeat ect").

Rogue Warrior, so epic xD

Single Player= Shenmue Series

Multiplayer=Torn between Powerstone 2 & Tekken 6

Rogue Warrior, so epic xD

Fireboy78

:| The Mickey Rourke rap at the end. :lol:

When the Mass Effect trilogy is released in one package on whatever console in the future, I will feel prepared to answer this question...

The combat demo is, well, just that, and it was good and all, but it's the other aspects of the game that really interest me. I mean, don't get me wrong, I appreciate good tactical combat in my RPGs, but ultimately I don't see it as being that big of a deal, so long as the content is good. Arcanum's combat pretty much sucked, and I consider that to be one of the best RPGs ever made.

AoD is shaping up to be sort of a Fallout/Arcanum type of RPG, and supposedly features some serious division of content (ie, actual role playing), lots of diplomatic options/paths/solutions (play through the game without killing anyone? Hell yeah), multiple ways of handling situations throughout in terms of gameplay, quest resolutions, dialogue, etc.

Basically, if you like the sorts of RPGs that actually let you role play, then AoD is probably your wet dream. I'm really looking forward to it, and I think the devs have a pretty good shot at pulling it off.

WoW.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island or Pikmin 2

So many choosing WoW...why not take it's superior older brother, and Gamespot GoTY Everquest.

I don't care if a RPG has tons of roleplaying or not, as long as it's fun I play it. I'll keep my eye on it though, but if I do buy it it will be a while from not (I have a lot of games to get).

Super Smash bros. Melee

Favorite game of all-time

Even though I've never played it before (and probally never will) World of Warcraft. At least I'd know I have 100s of hours of gameplay

:lol:

And you do realize that WoW was GameSpot's GOTY 2004, right? Over Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Halo 2, GTA: San Andreas, MGS3: Snake Eater, and Metroid Prime 2?
