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 every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save? (sh.itjust.works)

Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

  • Deus Ex - this game will last forever, especially with mods (like my Randomizer mod lol)
  • StarCraft 2 - I just love watching the esports, and with no other esport games available I guess this would be pretty huge
  • The 7th Guest - this is a bad pick but I'm obsessed with the game
  • Doom - I mean, come on, obviously
  • maybe some kind of builder game, I'm not into any currently but someone else said Factorio and that sounds like a good pick as a game you can keep playing forever, or maybe Stardew Valley or something accessible like that so everyone can play forever, or OpenRCT2

I'm sure you've played The 11th Hour, but have you played The 13th Doll or The 7th Guest VR? Not as good as the OG, but worthy sequels.

Yeah those are great too! I bought my Quest 3 headset just for T7GVR and played it on release day lol.

I actually run the Lemmy community for these games !stauf_mansion@lemmy.mods4ever.com
