According to Sony, about 1 million people exclusively play Call of Duty on their PlayStation. If you could choose only one game (franchise) to play on your computer or console, which one would it be?
Crusader Kings 3: It will get updates for years probably, has a very active modding community and you can play in vastly different scenarios. Ranging from historical to Elder Kings, Lord of the Rings and much more.
But it would at some point get bland anyways. I wold probably start to hate it at some point.
My initial thought was something like Elder Scrolls or Fallout, but I think I would be happier in something with a robust building system. Minecraft would work but something like 7 Days to Die would work too and add a bit more challenge. Maybe Valheim, I haven't played a lot of that but the building system seemed good the little I played?
Edit: I think I would choose No Man's Sky, actually. Endless exploration and a semi decent building system.
I mean, the answer kinda just has to be something like Call of Duty to make sense. Think about how much evolution that series has gone through over the years, and how many components there are between campaign, multiplayer, Zombies, spec ops, battle royale, and most recently DMZ. It's probably the most variety you'd get from just one franchise.
I've been posed the same question about 'if you could only listen to one band' and I usually decide that if I were restricted to just one, I'd sooner drop the hobby altogether. Anything loses its luster after too much repetition for me.
But for the sake of actually answering the question, would have to be something that can't just be shut down, has variety in and of itself, and stands the test of time. So maybe something along the lines of Fallout 4? I know Skyrim is the darling but Fallout 4 has more actual stuff to fiddle with between base building, constant procedural questing, etc. I dunno. That's not a perfect answer, but it's in the same realm at least.
Exactly this. Like, I have favourites - but I'd wind up hating them if that was the only thing I could ever engage with from then forward.
I've found especially with games, there comes a point where if you get deep enough with a game for long enough - there are issues apparent at those levels of detail that are inevitable, and are going to drive you nuts.
No game is going to survive full-time play for a year, or ten years, and you come out the far side still loving it completely.
Mods are great! I’m really interested in projects like Skywin or Skyblivion. Recreating the whole modern Elder Scrolls franchise within Skyrim is just crazy.
If mods are allowed, Stardew Valley. Heck, even if mods aren't allowed. I've probably put nearly 600h into it between PC and Switch, so if I'm playing one game exclusively, I'm going to design the best damn farm I can!
