A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

If you could only play 10 games for the rest of your life, which would you choose? (sh.itjust.works)

Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
You can play any DLC for the games you choose
You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

will servers be guaranteed to stay on forever?

I sort of forgot online games exist when I made the post. I’d say the servers for whatever games you choose stay active forever, but there’s no guarantee a player base will always exist.

ok then. I have been contemplating and im afraid I will do to many rpgs but I like them so much. I should put in other things. So right off the bat I think I would do the cryptic mmos. champions, sto, and neverwinter. Im not even wild about neverwinter but the character customization is just to good. champions would be tough if the player base went away as the main thing is cosmics which has to have other players. Still there is plenty of content and actually im pretty confident the fen who play it would never leave if it never stopped being up. that leaves 7 more and I got to put in elden ring and cyberpunk. 5 left. gotta do baldurs gate 3 and no mans sky. woosh. 3 left. I would grab one of those suduko games with a large libraries of puzzles and clues by sam. that got me some non rpgs. one left. mmmmmm. Oh um domination the open source risk clone.

I love Clues by Sam. I wish I added that one now to mine, I didn’t even think of it.
