Your Ten Games
« on: August 04, 2012, 09:09:12 am »
You're being sent on a long voyage - say, colonizing another star system. It will take many years. And while your ship will have an entertainment library with plenty of movies and TV shows, you will only be able to bring ten games (irregardless of how much hard drive space each game takes up). Thanks to FTL comms, you will be able to play multiplayer and download DLC, but that's it.

What games would you choose?

Here's my list:
1. Mass Effect
2. Mass Effect 2
3. Mass Effect 3
4. Age of Empires III
5. Sins of a Solar Empire
6. Sword of the Stars
7. Minecraft
8. StarCraft II
9. Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood
10. Civilization IV

I went with the entire Mass Effect trilogy because in addition to getting the experience of each individual game, I can also get the fun of playing Shepard's story across all three. ME3 also provides my multiplayer shooter fix. Assassin's Creed has some of the most entertaining gameplay of any game I know, plus a multiplayer option I haven't even tried yet. Minecraft offers endless hours of creativity. And the others are strategy games, with plenty of variety between them.

*eye twitch*

Anyhoo, my list:

1) Minecraft. The vanilla game gets old pretty quickly, but assuming I can download mods (which I damn well should, seeing as DLC is kosher) it'll give me thousands of hours of enjoyment.
2) X3: Reunion. The vanilla game alone is freaking massive and the mods available add countless more.
3) X3: Terran Conflict. Not sure if it should count as a separate game, seeing as it's more of a stand alone add on to Reunion, but just to be safe I'll consider it separate. It's just as fucking massive and full of tasty, tasty mods.
4) Skyrim: Granted, I'm banking on future DLC being good and maybe a super-mod or two in the future (kind of like Oblivion's Nehrim mod). Again, countless hours of fun.
5) Heroes of Might and Magic III. Very deep turn based strategy which still has enough of an active multiplayer scene to scratch that itch, in the off chance I require it.
6) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. It's a classic, it scratches my sandbox itch and of course, mods and multiplayer.
7)  Sim City 4. Extremely solid city builder with a still active modding scene.
8) Train Simulator 2012. For that hardcore simulation itch. Also, there's enough DLC for that game to last as many years as I need, and then some.
9) The Witcher. for a deeper role playing game than Skyrim with the added bonus of titties. Also, made by CD Projekt, a fucking awesome developer.
10) The Witcher 2, because I can't have the first game without its sequel.

I would only choose games with massive re-playabilty.

Civ
(Endless replay possibilities)


Minecraft
(Limitless potential, you could build for years without getting bored)


A selection of MMOs, probably Secret World, WoW (I don't currently play it, and haven't for years, but it will never die and is huge, after all), Guild Wars 2 (I know it's not technically an MMO), EVE.
(Almost more for the social aspect than the actual gameplay)

Some online FPS, probably Team Fortress 2, LFD2, and maybe something from the Call of Duty line.
(Quick entry to the action, endless potential situations, and again, the social aspect is as important as the game itself.)

Neverwinter Nights 2
(Mainly for the DM construction kit, endless potential for entertainment in creating and running your own adventures.)

"In case you're interested, there's still some positions available for that bonus opportunity I mentioned earlier. Again: all you gotta do is let
us disassemble you. We're not banging rocks together here. We know how to put a man back together. So that's a complete reassembly. New vitals. Spit-shine on the old ones. Plus we're scooping out tumors. Frankly, you oughtta be paying us." -Cave Johnson

Defender

Good fucking heavens, I'm old, but can't think of three more enjoyable games, nor three games that can be made as easy or difficult as one desires simply by playstyle.

People are probably going to laugh at mine, but it's hard coming up with a decent game list when you don't like FPS or RTS games, but play mostly console titles.

1 Ocarina of Time with Master Quest
2 Beat Hazard--because with my music collection, it's like having a game with thousands of levels.
3 Any decent fighting game, if I have friends to play it with.  If not, Tetris.  You can't go wrong with Tetris.
4 Any version of DDR that has a decent track selection
5 Starfox 64
6 Fable 3
7-8 Banjo-Kazooie dualogy
9 Sonic 3 & Knuckles (I count the lock-on version as one game because Sonic 3 and S&K were originally intended to be a single game)
10 Cthulhu Saves The World

I think mine is more laughable.
