well multiplayer games are going to have to dominate this thread. you simply cant play the same single player campaign over and over again, theres no variation and it gets dull even if it is top quality. so the games i will play forever will probably be super smash bros melee and hopefully brawl. i still play melee regularly. also soul caliber 1,2 and 3 hopefully 4 as well. the reason these games are the ones is becuase the battle mechanics are top notch. i love the way the mechanics work, the defense and countering with timing of SC and the frantic yet controlled to the milisecond battles of SSBM.
Games you'll play forever (or close enough)
- Thread starter Keyvias
- Start date
That's the reason because SP-mods exist and also missions and maps editors: to make games longer.josh797 said:
Without them, single-player gamers would have spend more money in games than multiplayers.
but yes, once you can predict the AI it gets less exciting...
hmm
anything metroid, thats for sure (fusion is definitely my favourite)
starcraft, easily
n64's goldeneye
most of the megaman early series (the NES and SNES ones)
definitely unreal, the game that spawned UT, UT '04 and now UT 3. truly it was the game of gods. Epic, we love you

i believe this is what game i will play forever and not what my favorite game is? i like bioshock but i couldnt play it forever. i mean it ends at some point then i just move on, maybe ill come back but probably not. guitar hero i couldnt play forever for the same reason. i mean once u can do every song on expert (as impossible sounding as that is) there isnt much left except to maybe wait for another guitar hero... smash bros games will last. even after you've beaten the game ten thousand times you can ALWAYS get better. always. games like morrowind/oblivion could last a long time, but im not overly obsessed. fps games with no REAL story will last a long time such as games like TF2 and CS, which will always last, tho i prefer TF2 just for its humor hehe
Here's my top five:
5. Half-Life
The original and still the best. I began playing this game a bit later than most, due to pc restrictions. Since then, I haven't stopped. Every now and then, I'll play through it again just for kicks.
4. Final Fantasy (umm, the first one)
Again, the original and still the best. Simple, fun, and a great time-waster for every subsequent time through.
3. Oblivion
Now this is a game that I will not only play over and over again, but is the first point I go to when cocky PS3 owners try to tell me why their console is better than the my PC (Yes, I am one of "those" guys. Computers are my first "dorkstreak!") As long as there is still an amazing and creative mod community creating new, free-to-own content for the game, I'll continue playing.
2. Portal
I know, I know... You're tired of hearing about it. Well, T S people! I love this game. Even though I've played through the main game, the challenges, AND all the user-created maps I could find about 5 dozen times now, I still have fun sitting down at my keyboard and flying threw portals/the air. It will never get boring to me. In fact, it's the most fun I've had playing any videogame since.......
1. Tetris
Being an old-school gamer, I've been playing tetris since the NES version. There is simply no game (in all its iterations) that has given me more hours of enjoyment than Tetris. There's a reason why so many versions of it (including the NES) are near identical in features to the Russian original - the creater got it right the first time. For all the great games that have come out of the creation of 3D acceleration, with all their 3d-ness and visual splender and whatnot, nothing beats the simplicity and overall fun of the greatest game ever made... Tetris.
Well, that's it for me folks. Thanks for taking the time to ingest this piece of self-indulgent tripe, as it strokes my ego as vigorously as a crack addicted prostitute on half-priced-crack day!

I'm still playing Baldur's Gate regularly as well as it's sequel and expansions almost 10 years after the original first came out. Still finding new stuff too, and the mod community is still active. Now thats lasting power!
And of course Nethack. Considering how long that games been around it'll probably outlast us all at this pace and still be entertaining centuries from now. Aliens will discover a floppy with Nethack installed after humanity has perished, play the game (somehow) and declare it genius. So simple, so ugly, yet oh so entertaining.

I regularly replay the various Black Isle RPGs, and The Secret of Monkey Island. I don't think Counter Strike will ever be phased out of the LAN parties I attend. I keep replaying Half Life 2 while waiting for the next episode. I will never stop playing Street Fighter Alpha 3, Street Fighter III, and Capcom vs. SNK 2. I haven't fired them up in a long time, but they are always there, ready to go.
Whilst probably not forever, every 3 years or so I always go back for a play of Final Fantasy VII. It was my, like so many others, fondest RPG of the 90's. As I age it's nice to see how my perspective changes as I get older. From once perfect to somewhat middling.
Also when I'm 80 I'll probably go for a quick game of Bejeweled in between heart operations.

if The Darkness had a free roaming envirnment and after-game free play i would play that game all the time. it was awesome but really short and i was never able to kill many innocent ppl
