      Minecraft really has the most creative potential of any game I can think of, especially when you include mods.

      Yeah, I’d choose Minecraft (peaceful)+mods. I’d want to be able to develop my own mods, too.

    Stardew Valley. Laid back, no real responsibilities, plenty to occupy myself with, easy to make friends or to ignore people, tasty foods.

    Animal Crossing.

    Chill AF, rarely deal with other people, most dangerous thing in the entire universe makes you look silly until you sleep it off.

      Add internet access to travel to other islands and you get a pretty decent social life. The coffee shop is pretty chill too.

    Wait, so like, do we just play the game forever? Or are we actually going into the game world?

    Can we break the boundaries of the game mechanics since we’re now “inside” it? Or are we still limited to what the game lets us do?

        Well yes but if you get to be the protagonist, aka the winner in a world of only winners and losers, that’s fine. I’m sure I wouldn’t hate capitalism as much if I were filthy rich and a beneficent of the system

            Well if you are becoming V, then yes it sucks either way. But V isn’t exactly filthy rich, they are just some random merc decked out in cyberware. I was more thinking being someone like the arasakas. Or some other nepotism profiteer living the good life

              Meh, even so, do you really wanna be Saburo? Watching your back constantly, watching your kids vie for your seat waiting for you to croak, seeking eternal life through different bodies as some microchip construct knowing basically anyone would smash that shit to bits if they felt they could get away with it to gain power.

              It doesn’t sound that great to me either because I’m not sure even a normal, finite life in such a world isn’t too much already.

              If I had to be someone I’d prefer to be a nomad living out in the desert with my fam, somewhat isolated, rely on each other, far away from corporations and their wars.

              Or maybe I’d be a celebrity living in North Oak like Kerry, but even then, there’s a good chance some cyberpsycho guns you down while you’re out on the town in your snazzy new Caliburn to buy a latte, at last some brief relief from that one fucking ad with the dude screaming.

            To be honest the one

            from phantom liberty

            Where V gets cured of the Relic by NUSA, especially if you just ignore V’s stupidity in trying to go back to Night City for some reason even though if you’re a nomad she would’ve only been there for like a few months total and actually imagine her being a semi-developed 23 year old adult who’d make the rational choice of just staying in DC in a cushy job away from the madness.

            is pretty good.

      You want to live in a universe where the corporations always win and the best you can hope for is going out in an awesome, but ultimately futile blaze of glory?

    Depends. Do I get cheat codes? If so, GTA:V. Get an awesome pad, planes, cars, helicopters. Can go on a rampage if I want or play games (golf, bowling, etc) and then just wipe it all away by dropping my wanted status to zero.

    Some mmo where they keep adding stuff. Because my fucking god would it get boring after doing the same game 24/7 after a few years. If that is not allowed I’ll go with one of those 18+ rated sex games. At least I won’t be bored and horny.

          I was just joking that a battleship class vessles is sometimes referred to as a science and exploration vessel by The Federation

              That’s fair. I’m relying on The Federation’s technophilia to give you a technological wedgie 5/6 times, and leave you wondering what the heck I just did. 😆

      And you might eventually die, after you have become a fallen empire yourself, and get stomped by some next level crisis, while the AI empires are less than useless. I consider this a plus though. Eternity is a very long time, and boredom is a very strong emotion. No game could keep me entertained for eternity.

        I’m imagining that “living in the game” implies something a bit more personal than the game interfaces. So I’d get to attend decadent high-society events, travel around and see the worlds under my domain, meet interesting aliens, have an affair with the fungoid president of planet AZ-12-69 (…)

        I mean sure, you’re right, I would eventually get my shit wrecked by an endgame crisis and things would go very tits up for my space empire. I’m not that good at Stellaris, just sorta okay, and something tells me that not having the birds’ eye view that the game gives you would make the strategising even harder.

        … But it is also worth taking into account that we can go beyond the interactions the game allows, so boredom would take quite a bit longer to set in.

          Rush Titans, make a Behemoth Planetcraft or five, or just one Systemcraft. Even the Blokkats can’t handle that level of firepower. The fleet power isn’t a number anymore. Just a white skull

    Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom. It has its downsides, such as Ganon and monsters existing, but then there are beautifully desolate environments like Akkala and Tabantha Frontier. Magic exists, and if the going gets tough we always have Link to rely on! I’d like to be a Rito so I could fly around…

      Also there’s a town of beautiful women where crossdressing is mandatory for men to even gain entry.

      Also, giant fairy ladies and dragons. And koroks. And delicious food.
