Hey everyone. Up for another crazy question?

I wouldn't be surprised if this question was already asked before (sorry if that's the case) because I usually ask myself this whenever I play a really good game. This time, it's Fire Emblem: Awakening that made this thought pop in my head again.

So yeah. If you can only play 5 games forever, what will those be?

Here are the side parameters to benefit the question:

  • This question only concerns video games. It doesn't include tabletop games (board games), physical games (like paintball), and etc. (Kinda obvious, but some might get confused).
  • Servers will forever be up for online-reliant games, however, the player base will still change according to its popularity.
  • Every bug will be fixed on chosen game/s.
  • Any game, on any platform is allowed.
  • You can mod your chosen game/s.
  • Feel free to add stuff to benefit your chosen game/s. (e.g. Check my Monster Rancher 4 choice)
  • Expansions are allowed on chosen game/s as long as the expansions require the base game to play.
  • To make things a little easier, announced games until the end of 2015 are allowed.

That's about it. If you think some parameters should be removed/ added, feel free to comment on it.

Here's the list that I came up with off the top of my head, in no particular order of preference.

  • Monster Rancher 4 provided that I get all the discs needed to unlock all monsters
  • Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
  • DOTA2 (I'm screwed if DOTA3 pops up. C'mon Valve, no need to work on those 3s.)
  • Civilization V
  • Portal 2 (maybe, I can't think of a good 5th choice)

There you have it. Thanks for reading and a lot more for answering :D

Dota 2
Team Fortress 2

LoL maybe

but before I play only 5 games, I'd stop playing them overall or only play them like once a month, I'm reducing the time I'm playing them anyway right now.

I can only think of one game: DOTA 2. There're many games surely better than Dota but they cant keep me playing longer than 100 hours. I even lost interested in those game after finishing story mode.

Non steam game I can only think of is HOMM3 :)

Multiplayer games for sure, since they offer much more playtime. Starcraft 2 and Counter-Strike: GO would be two of my choices, but I can't name more at this point.

Don't Starve. It is such a huge, uncontrolled world with a random world every new game, and there are oh, SO MANY frikkin' things to craft. Just when you think that you are done with science, it adds magic elements. The longer I play, the more I get to discover. Besides, it keeps getting updated with new content, new monsters, new stuff etcetera, so I find it hard I'll stop playing. In fact, I've been totally hooked on to it, and I am still not done. It offers so many things to do that it's hard to get off it.

TL;DR - Random worlds, new contents, lots of stuff to do.

Oh and Sims 3 I expect.

World of Warcraft - I don't actually play this currently as I am really tired of it but the updates and expansions would make this a good choice for long term play if you were limited to 5 games.

Banished - With the modkit coming, the sky's the limit when it comes to the sandbox possibilities of this game.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 - So relaxing and it took 50-60 hours for me to somewhat get tired of it, still think I'll go back to it. The most relaxing game I've ever played.

Grand Theft Auto V - Just so many things to do and even when you're bored you can go on and find something to do.

Hearthstone - Just for some casual fun, and so very well polished.
