If You Could Play One Game.....

If money is not a problom, then WOW. like some people said, MMOs are always updated.
That or TF2

EVE Online. Infinite replayability.

Don't wanna start a war here, but sooner or later you'd realise you've been doing the same three things with slightly different dialogue.

I don't do missions much so it isn't a problem. EVE Online isn't just missions, it's completely player driven. And CCP is going to be releasing "epic mission arcs" in March that act like the kinds of epic quests you get in single player RPG's. What you do for this certain event, how you handle it, will affect what happens next. Everything you do affects the mission arc. EVE is not just the same three things with different dialogue.

Mega Man X

I would play the game of life, which would allow me to play any games I wanted while I was alive. [/victory]

 

[Howlingwolf214]

TES III: Morrowind. It'd take a lifetime just to finish the blasted thing.

 

[peachy_keen]

TF2. I would say Animal Crossing, but I think it would make me insane after a while.

 

[TheFace]

WoW. It's gotta be. Easily the most replay value and longest and most varied gameplay.

This is a really good question, it has certainly got me thinking.

It's such a tough choice. For me it's between:

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion - I don't think it's great but it has a phenomenal amount of content.

Zelda Wind Waker - Almost Endlessly charming, almost a true open world with plenty of interesting content and a great aesthetic. However, not enough content.

Bully - A fantastic game, thoroughly entertaining. Poor graphics and limited gameplay make it a loser though.

Grand Theft Auto IV - A massive game with lots of content. The sandbox world allows you to make you own fun for hours on end. The city feels alive and hugely detailed. Considering the DLC coming out it's a serious contender for the winner.

WOW - Never really played it but it seems to have enough content for around 3 years of uninterrupted gameplay.

Battlefield Bad Company - A brilliant game in which the multiplayer has incredible replay value. I must have played this games for 40 hours or so and I keep going back.


And the winnder is:

GTA IV - The amount of content, the varied gameplay and the vast range of characters make it a winner. If you consider the multiplayer you add even more dynamic towards the title.

 

[beddo]

for the rest of your life, what would it be?

for me, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Isn't this technically another 'favourite game' threads?

Not really because you wouldn't necessarily choose your favourite game. I would choose GTA IV which is not my favourite game but has the best characteristics for the restriction of only having one game to play.

 

[fix-the-spade]

Lylat Wars.

35 minutes long, but it's kept me occupied for nearly 12 years. Why? Because it's fun.

 

[ChocoFace]

Kwonho, or some other MMO Fighting game similar to it. Too bad it's closed now, it was like the most fun i ever had in a game.

 

[Flack]

Left for dead

 

[Skalman]

Mass Effect. or possibly the entire Mass Effect trilogy, when it's released.

 

[roei115]

If i wanted a long lasting game it will probably be FF12 but I would like to play any megaman game (man i love that series)

 

[Fightbulb]

I can't believe I'm going to be the first to say this... Super Smash Brothers Melee. Fuck I love that game. Either that or Skate 2, it depends on whether I can play against other people or not.

 

[Zippy1313]

Disgaea 1,2, or 3.

[chunkynut]

Single Player - Medieval 2 Total War (or Empire when it comes out)
Multi Player (with friends) - Left 4 Dead
Multi Player (general) - WoW (gave it up for a year and a half and I've started up again crack must be less addictive)
