What would you do if you could only play three video games for the rest of your life? What three video game would you chose and why would you chose them? Also how many times have you played the game?

I would pick Final Fantasy X, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and inFamous.

I chose these three because they are amazing games. I loved FFX. I played it through more than ten times each time loving the story. I had once save slot with more than 230 hours in it. I have two copies in case one doesn't work. I also plan on buying it for the ps3 next year and maybe vita too.

Oblivion well what can I say but epic hundred hour game. I enjoy all the plot and quests more than skyrim. Mostly the main quest. I had a four game slots all at least 50+ hours


Infamous. I love the ability to have a choice. I can be a good guy or evil and having that choice is good but the electricity is even better.

why can i only play three video games for the rest of my life...what do you know that i don't, and anyways i would probably play the next three AAA titles coming out, and then quit playing video games

minecraft, oblivion, FO3

civ2 came close but with mods FO3 has a bit more longevity than civ2 (which i know has mods too, but...)

Fallout New Vegas,Skyrim and Battlefield 3.

Do mods count? Then I'd play The Orange Box (and it's huge among of fan made mods), Minecraft (and it's huge amount of fanmade mods) and Fallout New Vegas (and its huge amount of fan made mods (who need Fallout 3 when you have A Requim For The Capitol Wasteland?))

Is seppuku an option?

Duke Nukem Forever.
Metal Gear Solid.
Any of the Ace Combat games.

Morrowind (+mods)
Thief: The Dark Project (+mods/FMs)
Rome: Total War (+mods)

The mods for these games make them seem that they would last the longest of all my favorites.

I meant without any mods at all. But that's cool

It is very possible that I already have between 2000 - 3000 hrs. into Morrowind...and with mods, I simply never get tired of it. Yes, that would be my 1st choice. [edit] even vanilla...
Skyrim is really becoming a favorite, so yes that also.
Oblivion rates 3rd.

So there you have my three humble submissions.
I like Fallout 3 & NV but could live without them.

Same here, I probably have about 1500-2000 (about 500 in Vanilla on Xbox, the rest are on PC and modded.) hours into Morrowind over the past 6 years and the only quest lines I've finished have been House Redoran, Telvanni, and Hlaalu, the Fighters Guild, and The Morag Tong. Still haven't finished the Main Quest, any of the other Imperial Guilds, or any of the other factions.

Second place for me would have to go to...well I don't know. I don't really thing there's a game I could play for the rest of my life other than Morrowind without getting tired of them

Microsoft Word, Solitaire, Paint

Only one of those is a game

I'm fine without playing any games for the rest of my life, but if I had to choose three:

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice for All
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Trials and Tribulations

If you use your imagination you could make Word and paint into games. IE, recreate the Mona Lisa in Pant, or write a paper on anything you want without making an error. You make an error, you start over. All of these newfangled 'TV Arcades' are stripping ye of your imagination. Say, back in our day we invented Drive bys by shooting at cacti off the back of our cover wagons.

Livin' on the edge. B)

So little big planet. And minecraft it is.

I.. you... what does that have to do with my post? Also if you go looking for an RPG in minecraft you'll se XP, enchanting, and potions. Aside from that,you'll be hard pressed to find anything else.

Morrowind (Vanilla)
Thief: The Dark Project (Vanilla)
Rome: Total War (Vanilla)

No other games come to mind without mods.

Last week I would've said Minesweeper too, but since then I've cleared 99 mines in 98 seconds, and haven't been able to get close to that since. I've now abandoned all efforts to do so. But I was addicted to that game for a while.

Quake 3 Arena, Starcraft 2, and Counter Strike.

Microsoft Wo- DAMN IT SOMEONE BEAT ME TO IT.

Minesweepe- DAMN PENGUIN MAN WHO POSTED BEFORE ME!

Microsoft Pai- CRAP, DARN YOU OTHER GUY!

I give up, how about turning your computer on and off and watch it make sounds for you?

Civilization IV (Beyond the Sword expansion), Dwarf Fortress, and TF2 (assuming I could play with others.)

I've easily sunk thousands of hours into the Civilization series over the years. Civ IV is, for me, the epitome of the series, and I've had more fun orchestrating the fate of the world in Beyond the Sword than any other Civ (except maybe Alpha Centauri.) My favorite part has to be the age of discovery, when you first uncover the dark corners of a new, fractally-generated world and realise the hand you've been dealt in terms of resources. No two games ever run the same.

Speaking of random generation, there's the presiding king: Dwarf Fortress, an incredible game once you get into it, and like its central concept one that keeps doling out treasures the deeper you delve. When raging hordes of zombie mammoths slaughter your hard-won fortress to the last dwarf, you'll know the true value of this unique and infinitely replayable gem. Losing was never so fun...

... except in TF2! Even when you're failing it never feels like a total loss, with plenty of scope for personal victories and intense battles to turn the tide. It's that rarest of games that keeps evolving as you play it, and I don't mean the hundreds of balance-skewing addons Valve keep pouring on like gasoline to a brushfire. It's a deceptively simple game to learn, but devilishly hard to fully master, and just when you think you've reached a plateau, you find some new device or technique that puts you at the bottom of the hill again. And climbing back up to the top is never dull.

And that's why I classify Minecraft as a Sandbox/Psudeo-RPG.

The Elder Scrolls VI: Elsweyr
The Elder Scrolls VII: Summerset Isle
The Elder Scrolls VIII: Black Marsh

I'd reject the terms and play any game I own.
