Ask Lemmy

The original pong..... Wait no.....

i would reject outright the very idea of immortality.

for if one considers the implications of actually existing...forever,

it would not be a blessing

but a curse.

Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. It has its downsides, such as Ganon and monsters existing, but then there are beautifully desolate environments like Akkala and Tabantha Frontier. Magic exists, and if the going gets tough we always have Link to rely on! I'd like to be a Rito so I could fly around...

Gary's Mod? At least things would be kept interesting lol

Katamari Damacy

X-Com, baby 😎 It would be just like Edge of Tomorrow

Red dead redemption 2

Sarcastic Response - one of the GTA Games. Preferably GTA4 for my own 2000s nostalgia reasons. Why? Because its the closest thing to life as we knew it before real life started surpassing the absurdity of the GTA Universe

Serious Response - I cant think of any one game I'd want to spend an eternity in right now, so I'll cop out with an "MMO". Probably Second Life. Yeah its full of freaks but you can create stuff and interact with people. Excuse me while I retire into my doom fortress on the original "metaverse"

Guild Wars 2

Magic, dragons, numerous animal mounts plus a few flying ones, air ships (think blimps), multiple climates.

Continuous resurrecting.

Lots of gold.

Several types of sentient creatures.

Edit: I would assume that since it would last forever, that means the gaming servers would run forever. I would also assume that would mean we would more and more expansion packs more maps, more creatures more things to do, improved graphics. It would take you a really, really long time to walk from one side of the map to the other. Can you imagine how much stuff there would be to do inside that game.? And since NPC’s can talk to player characters (and player characters can talk to other players) that means I could talk to people outside the game. This would be kind of cool.

Dwarf Fortress. It's the most earth-like simulation out there. While also being a great fantasy type game.

Source engine. I know it isn't a game but they can share maps resources and etc. So you have pretty much a world to explore and possibly scans of the real world.

Factorio

Fallout: New Vegas, baby.

If I don't have to worry about dying irl, living in the Mojave would be a dream. Infinite reloads and I can quicksave before I do anything.

Plus, the amount of mods that exist for that game would let me redefine reality whenever it gets boring. And, if we include TTW, I have the Capital Wasteland to explore as well. Catch me kicking it back in the Lucky 38, occasionally running out to eliminate some Fiends for fun.

Honestly though, if we're talking about vanilla NV.... Nahhh I'd still go for it. Time to finally get all those star bottle caps!

Factorio or Subnautica

Oblivion for reals yo

I posted in the other thread - Elite Dangerous, but the version with all the options the players have asked for for a decade. Sandbox play where I can fly wherever, do some exploring and trading, maybe a bit of combat (because players don't die as long as they have an account balance).

Going to be cheeky and say Daggerfall.

That way I can live through the other TES games.

SOMA. It’d be an improvement.

The game of life

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 seems like a nice pick.

I'd say Pokemon, but after reading the recent leaks, I'm not so sure anymore
