If you can only play ONE game, which do you choose?

A cosmic-level threat foists an alternate reality upon us in which each one of us can only play one game. Which game do you choose?

I am not saying you have to be happy about it. Me? I would shake my tiny fist at whatever was doing this to us as I fired up another round of Gotham City Impostors. You?

This is hard. I have to come back later.

You certainly would need a game with infinite replay value lol.

Dark Souls.

My 2nd playthru is probably taking me 1/20th maybe even 1/25th the time that my first playthru did. That may sound like a brag about my 2nd playthru but it's more an embarrassment about my 1st. Heh.

NIce choice though. Dark Souls in my humble -- and let me stress -- HUMBLE opinion (as in don't flame me anyone) but Dark Souls is a masterpiece. However, there are no wrong answers around here derp, especially with all these indie games looking like crap and playing awesome these days.

Well my obivious choice would be the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series but I cant pick all three of them can I?

Anyone of the Batman Arkham or Ghost Recon games!!

@hxce: No, you probably can't pick all three but hopefully your answer is S.o.C. since that is the one I splurged on and just happen to reinstall yesterday. I notice the 2009 complete mod didn't load automatically though so I still have some tinkering to do.

Sandwiching a 2nd playthru of Stalker: SoC in between first playthrus of Wasteland 2 and Metro Last Light might be a bad idea though. That's a WHOLE lotta' dystopia, yo.

Does MMO's count?

@hxce: MMOs count yes. Anything on PC, Xbox or playstation.

Football Manager... any year.

I really could play it forever.

On-line counts ?

It´s a no brainer for me ---> Gears of War 3.

Completely satisfactory, one close shot with the Gnasher the body explodes, enough shots with the Lancer or Hammerburst you are left wounded just to be assassinated by beating with your own arm, one shot to the head with the Boltok or the Sniper rifle head dissapears, beat to death with other guns, chainsawed or impaled with the Lancer/Lancer Retro. Just so many fun ways to kill .... or die.

It'd be a tossup between Okami and Dark Souls. They're the only two games I can think of that I can constantly play-through without getting bored.

@hxce: EVE Online is my pick then.

I'd pick The Crew.

If I could play Skyrim plus mods I'd be happy, but if mods don't count then I'd go with WoW or FF14 ARR

@hxce stalker is a great shout. can we cheat and get away with the trilogy + mods?! ;)

Skyrim GOTY edition.

Or FarCry 3.

It's between Persona 4 and Final Fantasy IX

Bioshock. Possibly the best game I've ever played. When you try to drag a game out so you don't get to the end, you know its great.

In my best exasperated-eric-cartman voice: 'Mods yes. Trilogy, no. J*sus Chr*st guys, we went over this." ;)

But yeah, you guys are dropping some heavy-hitting classy titles for sure. Making my lil' Gotham City Impostors look like poo. No wrong answers here though.

@Macutchi: Yeah exactly, + the upcoming co-op than i'm settled for life. :)

Who needs anything more than lots of radiation, mutants and vodka in a game?

@Kevlar101:

I would have to agree with both of these, though Skyrim is probably my choice.

@KnightSkull: me too has to be football manager.

I have over 1000 hours game time on each football manager since 2010.

screw you guys, i'm going home!

/cartman

Haha.

Ohh that's a tough one... have to go with Half-Life 2.

If i was stuck on 1 game forever i'd probably pick Civilization 5 or Civ 3. Its very time consuming and every game usually ends a bit differently.

Fallout New Vegas.

So hang on... If I go to a friend's house, and he plays a different game than I do.... Can I play it ?

If not.... Why ?

Your face will melt if you try to play a different game other than the one mentioned in this thread.

@thehig1

NOOOOOOOOOO ! :(

Battlefield 3 mp

Gotta be fallout 3.

Undoubtedly its GTA 5.. I love all the sequels a lot..

I could be wrong, but would you be willing to take that chance ?

As much as I love Zelda, Bioshock, Dark Souls, Fallout, etc. If it was single player then I'd have to go with something with infinite replay value. Maybe Zen Pinball 2 (don't laugh). There's only so many times I can play the same story or missions over and over again but I can always try for a new high score in pinball. If online multiplayer then probably World of Warcraft or Mario Kart 8.

@thehig1

Depends how many seconds of gameplay I can squeeze in before I die.

Halo MCC

Metro Redux

Far Cry 4

GTA 6 and GTA 7 in the future

Also, in this alternate reality:

1.) All underwear is worn on the outside.

2.) And Tuesdays and Thursdays will now be on Friday.

(...borrowed from movie "Banana Republic", because stealing jokes is wrong even when they're Woody Allen's.)

Skyrim. The best triple-A modding community to date. All those mods can keep a game relevant for years.

lol. awesome avatar btw. I always imagine it to be a wrist with most of the hand edited out and some mr-potatohead features graphically imposed. If I am wrong, and it is something way simpler than I don't want to know.

Easy.... Minecraft
