What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It's kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can't help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don't get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

Skyrim,
Fallout NV
Fallout 4
Witcher 3
Ghost of Tsushima
Mass Effect (full trilogy)
BioShock (mostly 1, but sometimes 2 and 3 as well)
Borderlands (1 and 2, never really got into 3 or the Tales games)
Red Dead Redemption (both)
Assassins Creed Black Flag
Mad Max
Cyberpunk 2077
Dying Light (the original. Haven’t played 2 yet)

As far as single-player goes, the ones above all have several hundred hours each (a couple of them well over 1000 lol), across countless play throughs lol

Fucking Fallout NV! Sploosh!

Idk if I'll replay CP2077, the ending was really disappointing.

Really?

I mean, I’m not a big fan of “Five different endings” (technically 6) that literally just exist as “select which ending you would like” in a dialogue choice to choose the last mission, I’ll give you that. That being said though, I really do feel like all of them represent different attitudes and/or takes on the story preceding, and really feel like they could be a legitimate close to the story each in their own way.

Just curious if it’s a similar feeling for you, or if you actually don’t like the endings themselves

The endings were interesting, but despite being distinct, they also kinda felt samey. Like Mass Effect 3, just a little less so.
It was like after having run around NC for so long, and doing so much, there just wasn't a feeling of fulfillment for me with any of the endings.

[-] BurntPunk@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That’s fair, I can see where you’re coming from there for sure.

To be honest, I ran through all the different endings once, and then settled on one that I personally prefer every time after that for a bit, but lately I actually just play all the way through, finish every gig, mission, and scanner hustle up to that final point of no return, and that’s where I quit. Then start over from scratch lol. I’ve ended my last 3 playthroughs that way.

Sometimes I hop back in and do some missions, or drive around and kill a bunch of gangers. But having done all the endings I just don't feel like it's really interesting. It's just GTA in the future.
