I was going to say replaying but I feel like that limits the question to games like Prey or Fallout New Vegas that have endings and games like The Sims 2 or Cities Skylines where you can play indefinitely end up excluded.

I'm not really referring to games like League of Legends where you're coming back every month. More so games where you stop playing for an extended period of time.

Doom (1993). Though, I use a source port and the Brutal Doom mod. The Binding of Isaac, as well.

Rayman Legends and Borderlands both live rent free in my mind. I don't know how to feel about it.

Horizon Zero dawn comes in a close 3rd place.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (4 children)

Man I WANT to love Horizon. It seems exactly like my type of game. But everytime I play it everything feels... insincere? Idk something about it doesnt hit. Still paid for it day one when it came to PC though to support the cross platform Sony initiative.

I don't game very much, all the more so as I got older, but now and then I always return to the older fire emblem games and sometimes casual games like Diner Dash.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I have over 4,000 hours across all the trackmania games. So that, I guess. Most is 2,000 in United followed by a couple hundred in all the rest. 1,000 in trackmania 2020

Definitely Bioshock Infinite. It was the first Bioshock game I ever played and the story just wow'ed me, it quickly became one of my favs.

Now I just treat the whole game like a huge movie event, playing the game with my friends as we experience the story. It's just something that i would introduce anyone to, even if they din't play that many video games cuz compared to Bioshock 1 the action is a lot faster.

(Btw Bio1 is better in almost everything, love that game as well)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Do you have arguments to make against the people who hate Infinite's story? I'm undecided, I've heard their opinions and I'd like to hear an opposing one

Skate 3 EarthBound Skyrim Oblivion Quake 1/2/3 Mario 64 Super Mario World Battlefield 1943 (RIP 😞) Fallout 76 DayZ Vampire Survivors

These are just a few. I cycle through games a lot.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Skate 3 is a fantastic choice.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It’s top tier fun. I come back to it routinely and make a bunch of ridiculous skate videos. Never gets old.

Every Miyazaki Fromsoft game ever.

I have no idea how I'm not bored yet. They're all just so damn satisfying to play. I went from mostly online FPS to these games after I got Prepare to Die Edition back in the day. Any given time I play a game now, there's an 80% chance it's one of these or something similar to them (like The Surge, Mortal Shell, Lies of P, etc).

Skyrim. Always end up with conjuration build.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Green hell and the long dark

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

What about green hell brings you back? It's one of those games that has been on my wishlist for a while now

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Skyrim for the mods. Every hardware upgrade I wonder how much more I can push it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What were the results of your most recent trial?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Aside from textures being able to run enbs more smoothly.

Dungeons of the Endless

Castlevania

Neverwinter Nights (Which I've been playing or DMing on for 23 years)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

DotE is a tower defense roguelike with pixel graphics and a team of heroes you manage. It also has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

Castlevania needs no description. It's just one of the best games ever made.

Neverwinter Nights has stood the test of time for me because it has persistent game worlds, built by other players (basically mini, homemade MMO's), that you can log in and play. I also use its DM client to run online adventures for other players myself.

For me,

  • half life 1 and 2
  • portal 1 but not 2
  • psychonauts 1 and 2

They're like chicken soup. So good.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Just curious as why not Portal 2? That’s honestly one of my “chicken soup” comfort food games - Portal 1 is great but to me, Portal 2 is so much more.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Portal 2 is definitely the one I pick up regularly, but specifically for the Perpetual Testing Initiative. I've already played the main story enough times, but dropping in for a few really well-made user-created levels with a little bit of new Cave Johnson dialogue is great!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

I think it's the length, is all. Tough to commit to all that again now. It is great, for sure. We reference it in quotes all the time around my house.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Fallout 4 and FO:NV

Civ VI

The entire Myst series, Obduction (haven't played Firmament yet)

Beneath a Steel Sky, Beyond a Steel Sky

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Under a steel sky

Is there a third game in the series I'm not aware of or did you mean Beneath a steel sky?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I did mean that. Fixed

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ooh, Under a Steel Sky. I've been in the mood to play one of those old ScummVM games. How is that one?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Great story. It’s on GOG. Beyond a Steel Sky is the sequel, released a few years ago. Kinda sad, but really great, too. Made by the creators of the original from the 90s, and has an in-game commentary track!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Morrowind, there are some great multi player communities.

Mindustry, sometimes i just listen to the machines.

pretty much any console game on emulators, recently playing ffvii again while i wait for rebirth pc port.

shattered pixel dungeon.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Do you mind talking a bit more about the Morrowind multiplayer? I'd be interested to hear how it works and your experience
