Games you could play forever.

1. Tetris
2. Halo
3. Pokemon
4. I know you said no MMORPGs and I dont play any but considering the question is "Games you COULD play forever" I am going to WOW because it doesn't stop
5. SSBB
 
Guitar Hero World Tour - I got it for Christmas I really wasn't expecting it sense I did not ever care for those kinds of games, but now I gave it a shot and I love it.

WWF No Mercy - In my opinion this is the best Pro Wrestling game of all time when it came out at it's time I could never stop playing it you want a Hardcore Battle Royal? You could do that, today people have figured out how to mod the game on PC so you can have a lot of things updated such as ring logos from WWE, TNA, ROH, Japan, Mexico, and customs. You want to be in the game? you can do that now as well and with the hacks for moves and weapons fun is endless.

The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time - Awesome RPG Game that I always go back to playing when I have finished a couple of new games I have gotten.

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask - This is actually my favorite Zelda game although I never got to beat it (My little brother lost it twice during moving to different neighborhoods, and than my little step brother scratches a diferent Zelda game years later known as Twlight Princess.)I always loved using the different Link's such as Goron and Zora and the Stone Tower (Temple) music is just pure recks of awesomeness.

Pokemon RPG Series - The Pokemon games have always been fun for me in game and competitive.

Resident Evil 4 - This was my first played Resident Evil game and I loved it hell a couple of times I was home alone around 2:30 A.M. playing and I reach the phone to check the time and I hear a cut scene with the Belia Sisters (Chain Saw Women) and I freaked out, I stopped playing for a week or two, and did I mention there was a thunder storm?
 
Well, the Pokémon series and games from Nippon Ichi, like Disgaea, Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom are pretty much the only single player games I've spent really much time on, and I think I'd be able to come up with stuff to do in for anywhere even remotely near this amount of time. Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 would also be a strong contender if PC games would somehow be allowed.

What I really would enjoy though would be to have access to any of all these game creation tools. Things like Game Maker or pure coding hardly counts as a game, but something like RPG Maker maybe does (haven't tried it). Putting a lot of time into making a little game is something i've wanted to do for a long time, but I'd probably need to be locked in for 10 years to give myself the time to do so...
 
And like I said, PC gaming is a totally viable platform that has (or had) a radically different focus (and thus radically different game titles) than consoles. I really can't see why PC games should be excluded from the list.

I agree, but you introduce MMO's into the list and even I would put down one, not because it is truly a game I love, but because it can take up a massive amount of time. I am not looking for games that could just last you that time, I am looking for games you would want to play that whole time, but I guess for some that could truly be an MMO.

Still I don't feel like changing the rules this late in the thread.
 
Ok im gonna say a couple of them but I shall mention one underrated mario game I could play forever.

1.Chess, yeah its not a video game but still.

2. Super Mario Strikers Charged. Very fast paced and I dare say the single toughest mario game in existence.
 
I'm going to go with

Animal Crossing CF
Harvest Moon AWL
Final Fantasy Tactics advance 2
Call of Duty 4
Tetris

And yes, there was a console version of starcraft, for the N64, but supposedly it was terrible, as most console RTSs are.
 
Counter Strike 1.6 and Source (fps PC games, not mmorpgs).

I recently got into playing Counter Strike with friends and it's awesome.
 
Zelda: Windwaker (my favorite game of all time)
Guitar Hero World Tour (for between rpgs)
Luigi's Mansion (weird game, but it's fun)
Pokemon Diamond (either this or Crystal)
Super Mario Sunshine (even though I've never beaten it)
 
phantasy star online (!!!!!)
animal crossing, wild world especially
super mario world

probably psychonauts as well but i'd have to keep restarting

i'm trying to think of games from my kidhood... lol man it sounds weird to say this but i could probably do the chao from sonic adventure 2 for my entire life.
 
Hmm...

1. SSBB (for online playing)
2. Animal Crossing (probably the Wii version for voice chat, etc.)
3. Tetris/Bombliss
4. An RPG for low-level playthroughs, speedruns, etc. Maybe Dragon Quest, Super Mario RPG, Earthbound, or something along the lines.
5. A Fire Emblem title
 
-Phantasy Star Online (<333)
-Animal Crossing
-Most Super Mario games
-Tetris
-Team Fortress 2
-World of Warcraft
-Freelancer
-Medieval 2 Total War (Jesus i have had the game for two months and I'm only on my second game)
 
Pokemon - Diamond, since I dont know Japenese and it isnt outin America
Fire Emblem - Id have to go with Radiant Dawn I guess
Call of Duty WaW - Only one Ive played
Fallout 3 - Such an interesting game
Final Fantasy 9 - Favorite game of all time, I sitll play it atleast once a year (as in start/beat it)
Mario kart Wii - Id smuggle it in.
 
Pokemon Platinum, for a start. Although the lack of random WiFi battles would make it pretty hard to get an actual opponent. Might have to add in something like PBR, which would be pretty irritating. As for the rest...

Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions - In the PSOne version, I broke the timer with little or no effort. I'd say there's enough content here to keep a man going for 10 years. ^^

Persona 3 FES - Probably my favorite RPG. It's got enough content and variability to keep a person entertained, and the "death isn't the answer" message of The Answer would be a good reminder not to start knitting a noose after the first five years.

Mario Kart Wii or DS - It's the online capability that makes this one. Mario Kart would be my standby game, for when I don't feel like doing anything too serious. The main issue I can see is that, eventually, I'm gonna run out of tracks that don't bore me.

Kirby Super Star - Everybody needs a little Kirby sometimes.
 
I agree, but you introduce MMO's into the list and even I would put down one, not because it is truly a game I love, but because it can take up a massive amount of time.

And yet all of the 5 games you listed were released in the last couple of years. I really doubt that you'll be playing these games in 5 years' time, whereas it's perfectly possible to be playing a MMO for that long. In addition, why on Earth would you exclude PC games when you actually only wanted to exclude MMOs? The PC is the best gaming platform, end of. Nearly every game is released on the PC sooner or later, and if it's not then it can be emulated by a PC.

For me it's games like Diablo II, Dungeon Keeper II, Worms Armageddon. Old-skool games that stand the test of time and are still as addictive as ever. And they only work well on the PC platform.
 
My whole point was just introducing the situation that my friends and I were discussing, and in this situation we decided not to include pc games. It's not like I have something against them, its just when we brought this conversation up, three of us immediately ran to mmo's, so we just decided to limit it to console only games.

You are right that I might not be playing some of these games in five years, but that is only because I will be playing new games, however this would not be the case if I was trapped with only these 5 games, and these five I picked are the ones that I feel would keep me going for quite some time. All five games have various challenges that would take me quite a while to best, and as for LBP I could always just design myself levels if I got too bored.

In the end if you want to post pc games, then you post them. Some people already have, I don't mind altering the parameters for smogon a little, I just didn't think the thread would still be alive by now, and my friends and I are predominately console gamers, so we tried to keep the situation that way, but as I can see Smogon has quite a few pc gamers.
 
FYI you can play plenty of MMOs on consoles, example being FFXI on either ps2 or 360.

Using no PCs to block mmos simply doesn't work... no mmos is a better rule
