2 years in here you get a million dollars. You only get one video game.

Which one?

Mount and Blade. With mods.

world of warcraft, factorio or osrs and it would be EASY

>>82548255 (OP)
NetHack is all I need.

>>82548255 (OP)
easy, skyrim

>>82548255 (OP)
VR Chat I guess. Try to make as many friends as I can. Explain them my situation. I guess I'll tell them my plan to spend up to $1000 on flying out 10 friends to visit me for this party and check out the room I've been staying in the last 2 years when I check out.

>>82548255 (OP)
Minecraft is probably the only non MMO game you could play for 2 years and still have something to do

>>82548264
>>82548275
No internet tho

>>82548255 (OP)
I was going to say Stardew Valley since I'd easily spend a couple months doing it, but a couple years? Minecraft, and I don't even like Minecraft all that much.

>>82548255 (OP)
Is that a dormitory or Norweigan prison cell?

>>82548255 (OP)
factorio space exploration

>>82548255 (OP)
baldur's gate 3 or some monster hunter

EU4, haven't played in a bit

>>82548255 (OP)
bloodborne or elden ring, they're pretty much all I've been playing for 2-3 years

Why not both? "No cruel or unusual punishment" is an American idea.

Halo MCC collection, LASO runs

>>82548255 (OP)
Easy choice: Dance Dance Revolution

>>82548434
This was a good kind of answer
Halo MCC collection is 1 game but provides a lot of content.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rare_Replay
Rare Replay is 30 games in one. But a lot of retro not great content I guess.

>>82548255 (OP)
Do I get to do things other than play that one video game? Can I draw, read or watch movies/TV?

>>82548255 (OP)
world of warcraft probably, used to be addicted to it

idk to actually be good at video games where you would know what even to take is an accomplishment, look at the responses, skyrim, memecraft, they don't know. It takes being a connoisseur, /v/ is dumb, they just follow the herd.

>>82548255 (OP)
dota
i live like that already. thats literally my room

if i dont have internet? wooooooo.......
thats A LOT harder.....
id say fallout 4 with every mod downloaded and every xpac

i might go with factorio because i saw a lot of otherwise intelligent people drop 1k hours into it and its offline. id have to spend a day or two playing it 12 hours a day

but if i had to make the choice rn it would be fallout 4 + all mods

>>82548588
most people have a painfully shallow understanding of gaming and it will only get worse as people age.

>>82548604
Gaming itself is very shallow. What is there to even understand

>>82548588
Any good gamer can 100 percent a game in 1-3 months. If the question was 6 months, most RPGs would do. But 2 years is longer than most games are really programmed to have content for.

>>82548634
The evolution of genre
Compare Final Fantasy on the Famicom, Final Fantasy 4 5 &6 on the Super Famicom Final Fantasy 7 8 &9 on the PSX and Final Fantasy 10 on the PS2. You'll see the rise and fall of JRPGs as a medium

>>82548692
I'm sure there's something there but I guess I just don't care enough about video games to be fully convinced.
I can't really shake the notion that at their core they're about as artful/deep as theme park rides. I'm not trying to be a dick or a snob or anything either.

>>82548711
most popular games are worthless slop but some have good writing/stories and explore deeper themes. The ones that actually make you think don't tend to be super popular.

another interesting game to take would be a game you can speedrun

so super mario 64 would actually be in STRONG contention for the game, because if you have videos and text on all the tech and strats, then you can work on speednrunning the game pretty confidently for 2 years and even enjoy it

or whatever game youd want to speedrun. for me it would be super mario 64. id assume youd get all sorts of controllers and whatnot, just not internet

>>82548255 (OP)
if mods are allowed then either skyrim or minecraft

maybe oot or majoras mask for the game actually. i love watching zfg speedrun it, and i love the music. that sounds dope actually. better than mario 64 it think

hrmm.... yeah ill go with that
The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition
this has oot, majoras, and some extras. my friend has this with his gamecube, i remember

now, i believe you can take this game and upload it to the wii u somehow, if you get a modded wii u. op DID NOT stipulate if you can mod your wii u or upload gamecube games on it, but ill assume you can, so thats what ill do with

on the wiiu and not on the gamecube because the frame data is considered preferable for majoras or oot speedrunning i believe

i would also like all sorts of videos and text on how to properly do tricks like blj's and isg's and whatnot and this and that trick

these games have better music than mario 64, and are richer as a game, in a sense

>>82548729
>but some have good writing/stories
yeah but that's not doing anything a movie/show/comic can't.
at the end of the day a game could have the writing and visual presentation of a masterpiece, but if it's not fun to play I'll drop it and consider it a failure.
The most diverse range of emotion a game can make me feel on it defining formal terms is from joy to frustration (fear as an outlier for horror games lol). I'm sure there's exceptions to this but it feels like they're far and few in between.

>>82548802
as an interactive media video games can tell stories that noninteractive media cannot. You're right that most video game stories would be better as a book/movie/etc, but there are stories that can't be told in those formats.

>>82548711
Think of it like a world you immerse yourself in
https://youtu.be/6xKWiCMKKJg?
https://youtu.be/WHUcHw7j2Mc?
Think about it as a kid. Watching Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon as a kid imagining the world and then playing the games.
It's like kids who read the Harry Potter books and then watched the movies in theatres. it captures your imagination. Multi media has that effect. Women had that experience with Twilight and 50 shades of gray instead of Video Games. Makes more sense now?

>>82548255 (OP)
league of legends
why not

>>82548255 (OP)
>Which one?
Star Trek Online.

>>82548255 (OP)
Can I have a guitar instead? It would be way easier to pass the time with that

>>82549171
no you can only have videogame!

>>82548255 (OP)
Unironically osu

>>82548255 (OP)
No online play? Tekken 7. There's like a zillion moves to memorize across 51 fucking characters. I would autistically beat the game with every character and learn their attacks in the practice mode.

Then there's treasure battle where you can spend all day earning cosmetics.

Why not 8? People are saying it sucks. Besides I like Negan.

>>82548255 (OP)
bg3, if it's as big as I'm told. I just bought it a few days ago.

>>82549400
idk if the hypothetical permits you to have a drawing tablet

>>82549679
It's not that big that it would make 2 years pass easily. It's big, but not that much.

It's too nice to be an American dormitory, probably Norwegian prison cell.

Civilization 5, I think I could play this game for 2 years and not go insane

Crusader Kings 2 (with all DLC)
you've gotta put a premium on long campaigns and replay value and I think I've got the most out of that one

>>82548255 (OP)
Mario Paint, probably?

Minecraft. You can literally browse YouTube on Minecraft with a couple of mods installed.

>>82548255 (OP)
Give me
>music
>books
>two movies or documentaries on DVD/week
>some jewellery making supplies or scale model making kits
>access to a small room with treadmill, exercise bike, a few kettle bells and weights and a yoga mat for 1 hour 4 times/week.
Then I could stay in that room for 5 years with no need for any video games.

This looks like a college dorm room. People literally pay to live in these

>>82548292
Its Halden prison, Norway. I knew a guy who spent time there, it's a pretty nice place, the only problem is that most criminals are brown Muslims constantly causing problems.

C'mon bro.

dota 2

>>82548255 (OP)
Morrowind. I think I already passed your test accidentally at some point though.

>>82551348
also my answer but I'd suck at drawing normally after doing that shit for two years.

>>82548255 (OP)
Factorio
Basically make the biggest mega base 20k white science/hour

>>82548255 (OP)
Being forced to play the same videogame for two years would be a punishment. I want books instead kthx.

>>82551969
Your failure to choose results in you being stuck with Katawa Shoujo.

>>82551985
NOOOOO!!!!!!! Well, I don't have to play it anyway. Honestly, I'd rather stare out the window or meditate or something than be stuck in front of a screen for too long. I am not a vidya nerd.

>>82552000
I actually find it more interesting to read about videogames than playing them.

I feel like koikatsu is good for a novelty fap but would get boring after 2 weeks. It seems like a good pipeline to start learning 3d animation though, but at that point why not just make your game of choice Blender

>>82548255 (OP)
Its weird, I used to be big on games but I've lost all interest in them.

i would choose fallout 4. it's not my #1 favourite game but it's up there. if mods are allowed you would not get bored at all from all the shit you can do

>>82548255 (OP)
The org metroid ... took me dam near two years to compleet it and the system one day at the end just stopped working! i lost my game.. still to this day it pisses me off

>>82548255 (OP)
I think Skyrim is the only game I could play for that long without getting sick of it.

>>82548255 (OP)
Probably Minecraft. I could play it forever.

If you'd asked me some years ago I would have said The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth (got dead god and fully completed it 3 times and have over 5000 hours in it), but after Edmund McMillen added online multiplayer with 3 achievements, I have never played it ever again and I don't think I ever will.

>>82548255 (OP)
either Tetris Effect or an open world game like Fallout: New Vegas
