If you had to play a game forever...

City of Heroes/Villains. New content for the full range of levels, AND quality of life improvements all the time, plus the designers actually care about the game and its players, unlike those of certain other MMORPGs who are mainly concerned with luring in new players and keeping the max-levelled ones playing forever despite the fact though it's too much of a pain in the *cough* to level up another character or two to the point where they can go someplace interesting! ^-^

World of Warcraft would be a good choice since many people already live their lives there, but I'd pick Mirror's Edge.A runner's life is hard, but at least I'll be enjoying the view.

Possibly Resident Evil 4. After five years of playing it still doesn't get too boring - and that says a lot for me

Resident Evil 5 is what I'd take now that it's out and I've played it all the way through. Otherwise I'd have said RE:4 as well. In addition to the great gameplay of the story, and the return of The Mercenaries, (with twice as many levels to play compared to RE:4) there are even more ways to replay than before.

That's saying quite a bit seeing as how the Resident Evil series already has 500% more replayability than most of the games on the open market.

Chess.

LAME. Only an intelligent person would choose chess. YOU'RE LAME.

Mass Effect trilogy for me, personally.

Are you saying your not an intelligent person? technically the topic is "If you had to play a Game forever". A board game does count as a game, you only assumed he meant only video games. What is lame about liking to use your Brain,Is chess so hard you given up trying to beat some one in it and retreated to something that doesn't make your head hurt?
Its ok if you don't like it,That's Why us intelligent people make the BIG BUCKS!

Oh come on... I was clearly joking.

At least Kukul clued in.

And you call yourself intelligent... PFFHAHAHA!

as far as non MMO's go, ANY X-COM game. I about flipped when i saw them on steam. It was one happy day I was more then glad to shell out the money. They need to remake those games, change nothing but the graphics and the resolution settings, maybe a sound track upgrade. as far as MMO's go I hate to say this but FF online or EVE. WoW is a very easy grind to endgame and then your bored again. Alts are fun but you play alone for the most part. at least FF online takes FOREVER to get to endgame and even then theres what 5 exp packs or something. Im seriously considering playing it again just because wow is too easy.

Football Manager 2009. Probably the longest game you can play, since it never really ends

EVE is the most common answer... What makes it so playable? Sounds boring to me.

It gets good when you end up in a good corp. There is no other game with so many political intreague, war, really there is no game with so many player involvement as EVE. Yes that's a bit like real life, there is no real game to play (you've got missions yes and some small storylines, but that's peanuts) that's also I think why a lot of people think it's boring; with so many freedom, I choose to do nothing. Hence why I choose EVE as well, sure I don't play it and I will probably never play it, but if I hád to play a game forever it should be EVE. So many possibilities and freedom, way more then any other game.

Chess.

Nice, intelligent (looking) answer ;-) But I wouldn't say that so fast. Afterall, chess only has a finite number of possibilities, a finite number of tactics. After a while you've gone through them all, and the boredom kicks in.

It's very boring to play but if you had to pick something that had longevity it would be EVE because it takes FOREVER to do ANYTHING in that game. Like the character creation, I think yhatzee hit the nail on the head when he described it. Watch his review on Eve, I played for a month and I rather agree with most of his points on it.

If we're going on just my life span I'd say Warhammer Online (not my favourite game by any means, but it's a handy time waster)

If we're saying forever forever then I'm assuming that by this logic I'm immortal, in which case I will play the "set myself on fire and laugh the days away running into a crowd of people" game.

That's my new favorite game.

And you could not tell I was not being serious? ....... I know what you meant,it just hard for me to make my replay's sound like I'm teasing with out actually saying it(I guess I haven't got the hang of the forum thing,after all this is my first one) sorry about the confusion.

P.s................Hi!

Shadow of the Colossus. It'd take me forever to beat Hard Time Attack mode anyway.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

That KOTOR MMo coming out some time in the future. Maybe the WH40k version, depending which is longer, as eternity would get boring if they have crappy, short missions.
