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?

    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.
