Skyrim

I'd go with the games I've probably clocked the most time in, not counting Runescape as I'm done with MMORPGs.

Starbound (2d space minecraft)
Tetris
Morrowind
GTA, SA.
Pictonary in general, hopefully that works since whichever is the best site for it changes occasionally, if I hadda pick one skribbl.io

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Legendary Edition
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Special Edition
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition
Best list only acceptable answer but if I had another.
Skyrim(probably interchangable between oblivion or morrowind but I have more time in Skyrim)
TF2
Fallout nv(probably interchangable between 3-4 but I have more time on nv)
Civilization VI( or sid rev)
Borderlands 2
 
Elden Ring
Oblivion (og)
Master chief collection (Halo)
Corruption of champions 2
And depending on whether the rules lawyering would be allowed either
-any of Godot/Gamemaker/Defold (to make my own shit since they are listed on steam so technicaly they are games :V )
-or a choice between a wow private server and Deep Rock Galactic although war crime simulator Rimworld or Satisfactory could also be a choice I guess
 
Stellaris.
Europa universalis 4.
Hearts of iron 4.
Do mods included? Because skyrim moding experience is nutshell.
For the last probably heroes of might and magic or eador genesis.
 
Factorio
Little Big Planet
Europa Universalis 4
Batman Arkham City
Skyrim

If we include mods Skyrim would last me forever, and I had to include Little Big Planet for nostalgia alone but there's quite literally ten million player generated levels for me to enjoy as well. So I'll be happy till the end of time with that alone. lol
 
Skyrim
Factorio
Crusader Kings 3
Europa Universalis (4 or 5 dependion on how good the next game is)
Minecraft

And a loooooooot of mods for infinite replayability.
 
Oblivion remaster
Skyrim
Hell divers 2
Gta 6, hopefully it's good when it comes out
Bloodborne

Bloodborne (favorite)
Elden Ring
Armored Core Fires of Rubicon
Warcraft III Frozen Throne (only if custom maps are available. If not, cross this out entirely)


I am not sure of what is the 5th. A lot of competition there between the likes of Doom Eternal, Skyrim with Mods, Palworld, etc.
 
I'd pick something with huge replay value, indefinite scaling, ongoing support / multiplayer.
I can pick 2 right now and would safe the other two for future releases.

AoE 2 (decent player base for an RTS that's already clocking 20+ years and the support is also ok; more playable countries were added in another dlc recently, I'd pick this over SC2 or Warcraft 3)
The Witcher 3 (assuming Gwent is included) or either a numbers go up = better kinda game like "Heroes of Hammerwatch" or "Geometry Arena".
For anything more i'd have to do more research and wait 2 more decades to see what has been released in the mean time.
And anyway with a million I'd first be busy with the money, properly managing it and planning vacations e.g skiing in the winter, surfing in the summer. At first there wont be much time or interest in games I think.
Even if you take the million and buy US bonds or something on 4.5% interest thats 45k a year, with minimal effort.

If I had to pick just five games for life, I'd definitely want ones with tons of replay value—like some classic RPGs or open-world games that keep things fresh. I've been using playstation for years, and honestly, their library always has something new to dive into, even if it's just revisiting an old favorite. Plus, the community and updates keep it interesting. If you ever run into any issues or want tips, the playstation customer support is pretty solid too, which is always a bonus when you're sticking with a system long-term.

Between open-world, chill farming, building, strategy, and story — I'd be set. Curious what others picked — did anyone include multiplayer-only games or is that too risky with servers eventually dying?

at this point its unlikely that aoe2 will die completely, it was released in '99 about other titles I'm not so sure.

These days I don't think I even play more than 5 different games at a time...

One thing I would have to ask, is whether these games would continue to get updates as the developers work on them, and if games that are no longer available would be brought back by such an arrangement. I would pick:

- Battle for Wesnoth (I spent pretty much all of 2024 hooked on this game)
- Creeper World Evermore (no longer playable after Flash became disabled on all browsers, but this used to be my go-to when I needed a visual distraction while listening to a long podcast)
- Course of Temptation (I can get lost in this one for weeks on end if I have the free time)
- Diablo 2 (a mindless classic)
- Any given boomer-shooter game, just need something to blow off steam from time to time, so long as it isn't shit. I used to play the original Halo a lot for this reason.
 
Skyrim, Minecraft, Roblox, New Vegas, and Deep Rock Galactic.

Skyrim and Minecraft cause you can mod them into almost anything.

Roblox because of the variety of options it provides.

New Vegas cause the game was rigged from the start.

Deep Rock Galactic for all the ROCK AND STONE!
 
1. A Wargame-style strategy called WARNO, since most of the people I talk to play it. (or rather, I communicate with them as I play). It may be enough for a maximum of two years, but still. 2. HoI4 as mods. 3. Victoria 3 because I like too much once again to submit half the world for the Russian Empire. 4. The place is free 5. Maybe Broken arrow, if they fix the optimization for release, as many players from warno will move there.
 
PC Only Build:

Honkai Star Rail

Zenless Zone Zero

No, I'm Not a Human

XCOM 2

MGD
 
Baldurs gate 3 minecraft ff14. Thats all i need tbh.
 
This is easy, because according to steam the same 5 games made up 80+% of my playtime the past 3 years in review.

Project Zomboid
Left4Dead2
Rimworld
Stellaris
Morrowind

I'd probably trade out Stellaris for Suikoden 2 though.
 
Minecraft, roblox, limbus company, gta 6 when that comes out, maybe digimon cs/hm.
 
Another Eden
Final Fantasy Tactics
Dave The Diver
Dragon Quest V
Honkai Star Rail

Edit: tossing out Sword of Convallaria because that last Spiral of Destiny had a mary sue.
