What's that ONE game that you can play over and over again and never get bored.

I knew a guy who beat Final Fantasy 7 over 100 times. Not speedrunning, just normal playing. He said that the game never gets bored, and the game provides some sort of catharsis for him.

For me, I would have to say Zelda for the SNES. Although I've only beaten it 4-5 times over the years, I enjoy the game thoroughly from beginning to end and have the urge to play it again as soon as I beat it.

[Anonymous No.3621565]

>>3621542
I've done at least 30 playthroughs of FFT, mostly casual, a few single character, and a few single class challenge.

It's like your friend said, cathartic. I played it recently cause I had to put my dog down, but I usually do a playthrough at least once a year.

Then theres just stuff like Mega Man X2 that I can burn through in like an hour and a bit and I've probably beaten that like 200 times.

Sonic 2 for me. I beat it at least once every 3 months. I ether see how fast I can beat it, how high a score I can get, if I can beat it with no rings, find all the chaos emeralds. Kinda like mediation for me. Another high one on my list is Kirby Super Star so many great memories and really fun for a mostly mindless platformer I only play it every few years though.

Pokémon Red

I've 100%'d and 151'd the damn game so many times over the past 20 years. I play tons of other games, but I always play Pokémon Red for a while between them, and start a new save every 2-3 years or so. I'm currently halfway through DQIII, but also playing through Safari Zone.

It's hard to pick one game out of the many SNES classics I still love to play regularly. However, if I had to pick one, I'd choose Killer Instinct. Beating your opponent in so many ways and being able to do so many moves (don't forget the speed cheats between battles) is still as awesome as it was in the 90s.

I thought it was SoTN, or all the SoTN-style castlevanias really, I've loved them since CoTM was the lastest and I've beaten them over and over throughout the years, sometimes to 100%, some of them to literally 9 of each equipment piece 100%, but I think I've finally become burned out on castlevania and it makes me depressed.

Odd combo but Pokemon Silver/Crystal, RE2 and Red Alert 2 I've been playing back to back for years and never got bored once. I'll 100% them then hit new game and start again, sometimes have to force myself to play something else otherwise I'd play those 3 till death.

There's other games, like most platformers; shit like SMB3, Crash 1 and 2, Spyro, SM64, Sonic 3, never get tired of them. Fighters (SFII, Alpha 2 and Tekken 3 especially), shit like RCT2, Streets of Rage 2, SoTN, FF Tactics, etc. The Harvest Moon games I've found very replayable, a lot of N64 and arcade games never get boring too.

[Anonymous No.3621935]

Age of Empires 2 for me. I'm not sure why though, because can now play it without really thinking, auto pilot takes over and victory is mine.

For consoles, probably either Secret of Mana or Final fantasy VII.

Well there is Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night coming, but the graphics look like shit.

Also I felt the same way, I played all the SOTN style CVs an awful LOT, doing 100%, then hard modes, luck modes, challenge modes, etc etc even played a hardtype romhack of SOTN.

This guy right here. I have over 700 hours in it. Started playing it sometime in 2000 and didn't stop for four years and got a reputation for constantly beating it and then starting a new game. The game is boring as shit for people watching you play it but i just cant get enough of the world. Mods for it were mostly disappointing and the original wasteland is underwhelming for the genre.

I recently got absorbed into Wasteland 2 but it misses the mark from a technical standpoint.

Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.

Try Grim Dawn, it is very Diablo-esque with satisfying combat and a lot of variety when it comes to builds. As the name implies it is quite grim dark and demonic/eldritch like Diablo. Multiplayer is great with friends..

It was made by a dev group with a lot of the former Iron Lore Entertainment employees who worked on the action rpg rival of Diablo, Titan Quest.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqgGNHmrcU4 here some gameplay footage.

If you do decide on it, make sure you tick veteran difficulty, it increases the monster count and they hit harder, the first act is a bit of a snoozefest without vet ticked.

I've bought:
>GC

I pirated the Dreamcast version as well because I didn't have a DC until after was discontinued.
I tend to play the 360 version the most often due to widescreen support, HDMI output, online leaderboards and I just plain find the 360 controller very comfortable to hold. PC has that stuff too but that port is trash.
I know it's nowhere near as great as playing on an arcade set-up with a wheel/gear stick but it's not a big problem for me.
The lack of original soundtrack isn't a big deal for me as I've already got all the original songs on my custom Crazy Taxi playlist and while the changed location names is annoying at first, I got used to it.
One day (when I actually own a house instead of renting) I hope to save up enough additional money on top of my normal savings to purchase a sit-down Crazy Taxi cabinet for my personal use.

I have 2 I think.

First is Baten Kaitos. I never tire of it's endless originality, no matter how not /vr/ it is.

As for /vr/, I guess Atomic Runner or maybe Dragon Quest I Gameboy ver. It epitomizes comfy, vanilla JRPG and adventures.

House of the Dead 2. Played this game countless times, love going back to it, sitting through shitty voice acting and laughing all the way through. Recently had to get rid of my CRT though and my dreamcast lightgun won't work on this hdtv. Hope to get a new one soon so I can blast some zombies again.

I play Diablo 1 and Resident Evil 1 at least once annually. I just find both games pleasant to play through and easy to hop right in and quickly finish a playthrough, and I can always keep things fresh with a challenge run.

soooo much replay value
also F Zero X

By extension to be honest any game with enough options and different modes can keep you coming back.Games like Bioshock Infinite are amazing but kind of like a great film like Apocalypse Now ; you kind of only need to do it once.

>there were so many amazing RPGs on the SNES but virtually none on the N64.

It was the ripple effect of Final Fantasy 7.

Since FF7 was probably the most hyped JRPG of all time, and because it was announced as a PSX exclusive, every other developer released their JRPGs on the PSX since that was the console every JRPG fanboy owned.
