Borderlands 2 has a lot of replay potential without getting boring. It never plays the same way twice. The weapon drops are very different each time through. Don’t forget the DLC. The rest of the games in the series are fun too, but BL2 seems to be where it peaked for me.

War for the Overworld (I have many thousands of hours in this)

Settlers 2 Gold

(Both the above have a lot of user generated maps, which has given them most of their longevity.)

Factorio

Doom. No the originals. Doom, Doom 2, and Doom Final. I always go back every few years.

This list is GREAT … but if you’d be willing to venture back to the late 90s or early 00s I’ll offer you three more names:

  1. Fallout 2
  2. Fallout
  3. Mafia

All three are open world.

maliciousonion,

I’ve Played both Fallouts and loved them! I will remember to try out Mafia, It looks similar to the old GTA games at a glance. Thanks!

How about a randomizer? Pick a game you like and see if there’s a randomizer for it:

Drusenija,

Was looking for this. The crossover randomiser of Link to the Past and Super Metroid is a masterpiece, and if you like one or both of the games it provides you with a new way to have the complete the game every time you play it.

Add in the different flavours like entrance randomiser (where not only are the items shuffled but the doors you enter don’t go where they normally go), or keysanity (where keys don’t stay in their dungeons and can instead be anywhere) and it turns what was already a great SNES area game into something you can play over and over again.

Civilization.

vzq,

This. I’m still playing Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri.

Fallout: New Vegas. Skyrim. Especially with alternative start mods.

maliciousonion,

Fallout NV is fucking amazing, holds a really special place in my heart. Skyrim’s great too.

NewNewAccount, do games w Funny bad games reviews

Not in the style of Civvie and not always pure comedy but Action Button reviews are the best video game review videos I’ve ever seen. I’d recommend his Doom review, it’s only four hours long.

Be aware, his videos are not to everyone’s taste.

I’m assuming you already know AVGN, who pretty much invented it, but on the off-chance you don’t - his oldest videos are worth trying. I haven’t watched too much of his newer stuff, but I hear it devolved into pointlessness. Still, the backlog of good ones is massive.

AVGN is Angry Video Game Nerd, in case there’s any doubt.

apotheotic, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?

Those roll-up dance mats from the old ps2 dance dance revolution style games. They were unreliable as all hell.

sleepybisexual,

Roll up controller. Sounds like an inevitable mess

apotheotic,
sleepybisexual,

That’s a carpet with a taped on fire hazard

apotheotic,

Its also, apparently, a viable method of beating dark souls

SteevyT,

Is there anything that isn’t a viable method for beating Dark Souls?

apotheotic,

I haven’t yet seen dark souls beaten purely by cosmic ray bitflips but I’m sure someone is busy with that

sleepybisexual,

Lmao

We ended up nailing them down to plywood. They registered waaaaay better but wore out 3x as fast.

apotheotic,

Not a bad idea if you have the space tbh

megopie, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?

Any controller that has asymmetrical joysticks. I get they’re all copying Xbox, Xbox was wrong.

If you’re using one to look around and one to move, having them require your hands be in two different positions is dumb.

sleepybisexual,

I disagree about it being the worst but after trying symmetrical its better

SteposVenzny, do gaming w I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used?

N64

I got no beef with the three prongs like you see so many fuss about but those analog sticks were extremely fragile and would inevitably go completely limp over time and wind up 99% deadzone.

HeartyOfGlass,

Super Mario 64 - a launch title, iirc? - murdered my control stick. Spinning that around to swing Bowser was a great game design idea, but yeah they didn’t build those controllers to withstand it for long.

SeaJ,

1080 Snowboarding forced me to get an Interact Superpad 64. It had a metal joystick.

People always give shit to MadCatz but they had the sturdiest 64 controllers. All the first party ones would last maybe 2 or 3 games of Mario Party or WWF Smackdown. The MadCatz we had was the GOAT for games that required spinning the stick a lot. But I hated how extra THICC they were. Made them a bitch to hold.

    This one. It’s basically an upside down Mega Drive/Genesis controller for one of the Brazilian famiclones, with turbo buttons for A and B

    jarfil, do gaming w What are your favourite controllers?

    Keyboard and mouse… but the Steam Controller is cool too.

    Other than that, any PS clone. The long thin horns fit my hands better than others.
