If you were to be locked up for 1000 years and were allowed to only take one video game, which would you choose?

[Wictorian]

Obviously that means no aging and you can’t take anything else. Basically the question is which video game offers the most content, potentially could keep you busy for 1000 years. Initially I thought I would choose my favorite game which is Don’t Starve but I figured it doesn’t have enough content so this is kinda tricky.

can you play with other people?

I suppose so.

[Sauron]

E.T. for the Atari 2600

[crakddx]

Because it’s hard?

Also it has a surprisingly high rating on Amazon..

Unless you are into eggwars stuff or weird mods I don’t think Minecraft survival mode has that much content.

[Chris Pratt]

Assassin's Creed Valhalla, since it takes a 1000 years to complete, anyways.

 

Seriously, though, I think it would probably be something like Mass Effect Legendary Edition, as there's lots of replayability, and you get to technically cheat by getting three games in one. You could actually go through every possible variation of outcomes, and try out all the different classes. A lot of times, I just make the same decisions for expediancy and because I know the "right" choice.

Yes

I'd say it should be a sandbox game without much of a story. Story would just get old and annoying the more you play the game. And obviously no pre-made levels because after playing the game 3 times you know every corner in and out. Preferrably also including multiplayer to keep it fresh. And as much randomness as possible.

 

So i'd say Minecraft would probably be close to the ideal candidate.

 

Another one - and probably my choice - would be Skyrim. This game offers literally endless replayability due to it's modding support. New content, up-to-date graphics, etc. 

[crakddx]

we gotta get some mods to pin this
a game like minecraft content is consistently developed, either by community or devs.
a game like valorant i woould only play so i could get out of immortal 3 haha

[WereCat]

League of Legends... maybe I would finally get to Silver

[PDifolco]

Total War Warhammer II

Can play like 70 lords/factions for 200 turns games of 50 hours each so...

[Rauten]

MMOs would be a great choice, I think.

FFXIV for me. Huge world with a chunky main store, a lot of side stories, absolute craptons of content to go through, gathering, crafting, gambling, minigames...

[Space646]

I would go with Chrome Dino

Wouldn't a consistently developed game kind of break the rules? I mean if the devs are still adding content to it for the next 1000 years, there's always something new to do, presumably.

OP didn't really set any rules. But he did mention internet can be used etc. So any game with modding support or consistent updates has a big leg up.

Also you would consume it way faster playing 24/7

[Radium_Angel]

Polybius

THe arcade cabinet of course

[Techestro]

Minecraft 100%. Especially since I like to make my own games inside Minecraft!

[Avocado Diaboli]

Joke answer: Action 52

 

Real answer: Probably something like Dreams, because you can make your own games in it and play ones made by others.

[Giganthrax]

Probably CSGO. All of my friends play it so it would be a good way to socialize + with a 1000 years of practice I may finally be able to get out of faceit rank 1.

New DLC Regularly plus Steam Workshop? Updates?

Either of two options:
Titan Quest, or Magic: the Gathering Online. The second one would assume it still gets regular updates when new sets come out; if not, TQ.

Are you talking about Don’t Starve? If so mods don’t add much content and although updates and dlcs are frequent I don’t think it can be adequate for constant playing (see the pun?).
