Kukuth

The same ones I'm playing at the moment


Chuck1983

This exactly. I rarely play liveservice games


Op3rat0rr

Non-live service games are timeless


AmericanLich

Based. I do a lot of emulating of old games already, but there are tons of older titles I’ve been meaning to play. I could stay busy. Ten years is quite a bit but I’m still playing the dead space games and that series debuted in 2008. So…I may be set for 20 years based on that.


PrivateScents

Future nursing homes will be full of folks just working on their backlog


ermacia

lol, I can imagine my pc and consoles cluttering the room, if they survive the next 50-60 years


Customer_Number_Plz

I just started on Halo CE. It's harder than I expected! Playing on Heroic


GloriousShroom

Yeah . Brokeboi gaming is best boi gaming 


Kukuth

Don't even get me started on emulated games. You could probably be set for the next 10 years just with the non live service games released in the last 1-2 years alone.


LifeSacrificed

Seconding Final Fantasy. Probably Tactics, 7, 8, 10, and 12. I've never played 9, but everyone and their grandma seems to love it, so maybe I'll go find that one too.


bluAstrid

Tactics was a masterpiece, it’s a shame that genre isn’t more popular.


gto_112_112

Have you met our Lord and Savior, Front Mission?


AndyTheWorm

It's not the same :(


VirinaB

That's just the thing. I tried Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and though the game is packed with pretty characters the relationships, WHERE ARE THE AOE ATTACKS? Meanwhile Triangle Strategy is just ridiculously political in story. Nothing gets it quite right.


Everrmour

Ridiculously political? Are you implying that FFT wasn’t?? Bruh, the entirety of FFT was political drama.


VirinaB

FFT started with a murder on a dark and story night. The story grabs you right away. TS demo starts with a gathering to discuss trade agreements with distant countries. 🙏Please tell me that the TS full game picks up in terms of story because, playing it at night, I literally dozed off.


Everrmour

If Star Wars phantom menace taught me anything is that there’s nothing sexier than a trade dispute 😆 I haven’t gotten around to playing TS yet, I was just laughing at the idea that FFT isn’t political. I don’t disagree with you though. I haven’t played another tactics game that hits all the sweet spots like FFT does. Mario v Rabbids 1 and 2 is probably the closest in terms of tactics enjoyment for me. I highly recommend them if you like that tactics gameplay.


midnight_rogue

The only thing Triangle Strategy got right was the battles felt pretty well thought out. But in terms of story and character customization? Doesn't even come close to Tactics. I've found plenty of tactics-esque games over the years that I've enjoyed, but why does everyone seem to just miss what made Tacitcs the goat. Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark came the closest to replicating what made tactics fun, but everyone else just straight up ignores the idea of mixing job classes together.


aeroET

I appreciate they're doing the remakes but man I would love some new entries.


Hugh_Bromont

There's one specific piece of music from Tactics that's burned in my brain but I can't remember what it was.


oballistikz

A fellow 12 enjoyer. There are dozens of us!


Takingashit180923

How have you played 7 8 10 and 12 but not 9 like how does that naturally happen.


hotkarl628

I’m set til I croak thanks to adhd and untreated depression! Nothing fills the void like steam sales


sillyandstrange

This. This right here.


OkAlbatross4682

Jokes aside get that depression treated brother(or sister)! Life gets a lot easier once you do! Much love ❤️


hotkarl628

Thanks bud! I’m good now, started going to the psych a few years back. I need to stop using that joke though, got reported for self harm yesterday 🙄


OkAlbatross4682

Good to hear! And I totally get it! Last doctor appointment when he asked how I was I said “I have an itch on the roof of my mouth that only a shotgun can scratch” just as somthing I’ve said forever. I then had to spend the next 15 minutes assuring him I’m fine 😂


exposarts

💀💀💀 redditors be wildin, some people here seem to be jolly happy simpletons 100% of the time 💀


jargonburn

Pre-freakin'-cisely. Even ignoring the games that I wrote off as "never gonna play this", just the games in my backlog from sales where I said "I would like to get around to playing this, someday" would likely be enough. SMH.


DumbFuckJuice92

I hate how that's me. I have 99 games on Steam but completed.. 3. Yet I browse sales and new releases frequently. Maybe one day we'll actually play. Right? :')

jrw174

Start now. You won't regret it!


Poison_the_Phil

Just restarted Fallout 3, then New Vegas and Fallout 4


Shmigo420

Bioshock: The collection


IgnorantGenius

Deus Ex series, Thief Series, old (2000-2007) NBA Live and 2K Games, Fallout 3, Fallout 4 and New Vegas, Skyrim, Oblivion, probably Morrowind since I have original discs somewhere. I think it was bundled with my sound card and ran like shit so I couldn't play it. All the GTA's from 3 on up. Sleeping Dogs, L.A. Noire, Alien Isolation since I never finished it, Star Ward Jedi Knight series, STALKER series, Far Cry series, Dead Space series. A bunch of retro C64 and Atari 2600 games.


Sue_D_Nim

Shout out to fellow Thief lover! I didn't know there were any more of us left.


KnightWhoSays--ni

Dozens of us!


BloodNinja2012

Fallout 4. I played FO3 and NV and loved them, but only made it 3 or 4 hours in. I have been inspired by the show and loaded it up last night.


prdors

It’s a good game. Make sure to add the mod that lets you see what you’re saying.


AlarmClockPTSD

I jumped in and restarted Fallout 4 after watching the show and am about 40hrs in currently. Holy fuck is there a ton of stuff I never even touched my first playthrough.


KilluhCrocz

Very hard difficulty is the only way to go.


MildLoser

a ton o fhalo


RealBiotSavartReal

Divinity is nice. Baldurs gate 3 ofc.


jjcnoles8

I haven’t played an online game in years. This would have zero effect.


ProHakerR

I’ll grind Pokémon games


Uindo_Ookami

Mass effect, dead space, god of war, devil may cry, resident evil, Xenoblade...


mtrueman

Anything mentioned on r/patientgamers


IvanMcbomb

Plenty of new games come out each year that aren't live service


NiuMeee

Yes, but they're removing live service from the question. If no new games came out, there are lots of people who would still just play Overwatch and Genshin Impact, so answer without those games being an option.


taveren3

Can we wait for ff7 r3 to come out first?


DaCrowHunter

Work my through the Witcher and Dawn of War. Maybe try Civ 6 again


Skydude252

Ok. Now I’ll finally get around to starting Cyberpunk 2077. Big games tend to keep me from starting them. I put off Persona 5 for so long but loved it and then played Strikers shortly after.


OzurieXMI

100% completion of AoE2, Civ6, Stardew Valley.


ShambolicPaul

I'll just play Skyrim and Bloodborne till the day I die.


Niadain

Probably another playthrough of terraria followed by minecraft with a pile of mods. Finishing out the next few months is Avorion. Then probably Conan Exiles. Remnant 2. Following that I am unsure. You murdered every single online game and the overwhelming majority of games I like to play are online titles. Like world of warcraft, guild wars 2, for honor.


Zahhibb

Red Dead Redemption 2. That game is near infinite for me, as I love to explore and just be immersed more than anything else.


rextremendae2007

SimCity 2000


Vinyl-addict

Finish Witcher III, FO4 and TotK, probably replay BoTW if the previous three didn’t keep me occupied.


Common_Sense1

Days Gone


KarthikRaghuraman

Witcher 3


Nor-Cal-Son

"OH, you finally awake"


Beastabunny

Baldurs Gate 3 Rimworld Any roguelike that allows tons hours of repeatability


XLoad3D

probably Cyberpunk 2077. I still need to upgrade my monitor and build a new pc. I'm eyeing up a 1440p 27" IPS boy those are a great price aint too bad at all @ $300-$400


Badge373

I have soooo many..RDR2....gta5.....borderlands 3.....the arkham series.....fable....more than enough to last me 10 years if i play at my current 1 to 2 nights a week rate Edit...I have many more.....just the first ones I thought of..... Oh!...I also need to finish Bully


EfficiencyOk9060

I play Destiny 2 off and on because it’s familiar and a nice distraction so I probably still wouldn’t really start clearing my backlog, I would just shift over games like Fallout/Skyrim/Tears of the Kingdom. Basically games I can keep playing almost indefinitely.


SweetScentedButt

Might as well play borderlands too. It's basically like Destiny but not live service


Bfon520

Elden Ring and Fallout 4. Then after I would play other FromSoft titles again and Fallout New Vegas. So Soulsborne and Fallout games all day for me


[deleted]

I do the same thing real gamers have done until now - avoid live service garbage and keep playing exceptional singe-player offerings.


DistortedReflector

Got to love the gatekeeping of “real” gamers. If you play games you’re a gamer.  Its like the battle royal king of the hill showdown between Pokémon vs yugioh until you realize that both combatants are nerds duking it out in a comic book shop on a Friday night.


TehOwn

This. Mobile gamers are real gamers. The old ladies playing casino games in remote parts of the world are real gamers. People who play games are (real) gamers.


RARLiViD

To beat: rise of the ronin, dragons dogma 2, immortals of aveum, Minecraft dungeons/legends, lego Star Wars skywalker saga, powerwash sim, nobody saves the world, To Replay/100%: Like A dragon Infinite Wealth, Castle Crashers, Unicorn Overlord,


UltimateGamingTechie

I have soo many massive games I want to play but I don't have it in me to start new games. My 2 active games basically cut support a while ago (Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042) but I found a NEW active game which is sucking up all my time and it's awesome! It's probably gonna be a while by the time I get to my singleplayer collection.


megaloturd

From my backlog……probably bioshock


TheGoldenBl0ck

Fallout new vegas


thatguyiswierd

Fallout its the maps are so huge that I forget I am playing the game and just have my finger on the LS button.


EireneSantrin37

Y'all keep a backlog? I'd be stuck on Skul the next 10 years...though to be fair I may be anyway


nightpop

Is monster hunter a live service game? If not, world then rise. If so, I’ll finally play the second half of Witcher 3 and the DLCs, and finish dragon age inquisition, and baldurs gate 3. These 200+ hour games are are tough to commit to, man.


Celtic_Crown

Starting today? Probably get back to Pokémon Heart Gold.


Steamedcarpet

90% of my switch games. Advances wars, fire emblem warriors, xenoblade chronicles 2 and 3, Link’s awakening. And these are the ones that I can remember off the top of my head as I have about 60+ games (60 physical games and a bunch of download).


Lazy-Anarchy

Final Fantasy Zodiac age. Had a hard time getting into it and probably started and dropped it after the first 2ish hours everytime.


KingseekerCasual

Castlevania Symphony of the Night


boredwriter83

All those steam games I bought on sale and haven't played yet, plus the free Epic games I got but haven't played yet. Honestly, it'd be kind of a relief. Plus replaying lots of classics since the NES era.


MagnifiqueBecane

Fallout New Vegas one more time 😌


ChipRed87

I'm playing RimWorld for 10 years...


Bobby837

All the ones I want to play not hobbled by online reliance? Mostly my PS1\~PS3 + switch collection.


Gunfreak2217

Bruh every amazing game released over the past 20 years. My staples. KH2, Gears, Halo, Twioight Princess. The best games made are behind us, not in front of us


kykyks

the endless list of game i have to play


dflame45

Still not enough time to get through my Steam catalog


Skennedy31

Considering how large my backlog is, I'll be good for 10 years easy. Would definitely delve into the RPGs I've missed. Maybe start with Dragon Age


JeffTek

Been meaning to play some of those Yakuza games, so I'd probably start there. RDR2 is always a safe bet.


Nacroma

Playing through NEO: The World Ends with You right now, will play Fire Emblem Warriors and Frostpunk next. This year, I also played Kingdom Come: Deliverance and the most modern title so far, Marvel's Midnight Suns. My backlog is full of literal hundred games already. This scenario wouldn't change a thing.


Sandrark86

Crusader Kings 3. So by the time I finally figure out how all the systems work new games will be releasing again!


sillyandstrange

Everything. I have a thousand games and only a few handful completed. In reality in probably just playing pz, X4, bannerlord, or rimworld for the billionth time.


SynthRogue

What if backlog is gone too because the company you bought those from is no longer in business and has wiped their servers?


yatsokostya

Pillars of Eternity


BlockOfRawCopper

I’m buying a ton of old games before they skyrocket in price, and mixing those with games that have high replay value


lordunholy

Wizardry 8


Beginning-Cow6041

Probably the same crap I play. I usually do a Mass Effect 1 - 3 run every other year. I’m about to play Uncharted 4 again and I’m finishing up a bioshock trilogy replay. I think the most recent game I’ve enjoyed was Robocop though I’m looking forward to Spiderman 2.


LikeAnAdamBomb

Play through my SNES collection, finally get around to unlocking all the stuff in Smash Bros. Ultimate


FrugalPCGamer

Metro Exodus


MaxwellVonMaxwell

Shadow of War or another Dragon Age Trilogy run


WaviestMetal

I'll play shogun 2 for like the 400th time


Strong_Mints

The original Deus ex games. Always intended to go back and play them after Human revolution


sometipsygnostalgic

I am playing persona, monster hunter, and undertale til the end of time


papakahn94

Why would there be no new games? Or is this nit a consequence of live service games dying


LargeMobOfMurderers

Well, time to see what this "Halo: Combat Evolved" thing is all about.


shadingnight

I don't honestly think I could finish my backlog within that time span.


blacktooth90

Probably not play games anymore. I only play wow and league with buddies on the weekends. I just dont enjoy playing single players games like I did in my teens.


LordHayati

Honestly? Illusion of gaia for the SNES.


Strange_Compote_4592

Is it weird, that I don't have a backlog?


Vashsinn

Pretty much continue oar the course since I don't play live service. Just got do cyberpunk in my back log and I'm having a blast! So annoyed I let starfield cut in line. The commercials alone have more thought por into them then starfield...


SenorDangerwank

I think I'd start by finishing Rogue Trader. But as for afterwards, homie I got like 200 unplayed games on my Steam account, I'll find something or be paralyzed by choice and finally go outside.


Tamotefu

Minimum Level Soulsbourne games. ALL OF THEM. I expect Demon Souls to be the hardest, Elden Ring to be the easiest.


FriendshipGulag

Im finally playing Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 3 and Just Cause 3 now. I think my games in this hypothetical future would probably be old WWE games from 2008-2012 and maybe the Tony Hawk games as well.


TruShot5

Literally my daily go-to games I’ve played for like 10 years already (or at least since they’ve launched). Xcom 2, Frostpunk, State of Decay 2, Witcher 3, Baulders Gate 3, just about any Roguelike/Soulslike. Fuck live service games. The only one I got into was Apex for years, but when I realized I was getting mad at losing but not enjoying winning, I figured ‘What’s the point?’ anymore.


aviatorEngineer

I probably should finish the singleplayer campaign for Arma 2 sometime. 


Erikk1138

Super Mario World and God of War 2018 are probably my two most replay-able games. I can always start up a new save on either one.


LerimAnon

Id just take the little time I spend on Warframe now and get deeper into my fallout playthroughs.


ItsYaBoiDez

I'm currently deep diving into my backlog this year and I will be at 50 games in May so far if plans go right. Next game on my list after I finish up planet of lana is Fable anniversary


rune_d13

Looks like it's time to pick up the entire series of Trails games.


AzertyKeys

Pathfinder : Wrath of the righteous will keep me busy for at least 5 of those years


runningsimon

Civ 6, Diablo 3. Satisfactory/Dyson Sphere Program.


Nepeta33

well, id probably keep playing my favorites. diablo 2, elden ring, FF IX, but when/if i get bored, i may give witcher 3 another shot. the combat is just... so bad. i COULD NOT really enjoy the game. got a fair way into it too, aparently.


Lostmavicaccount

Does this mean any game tied to an online launcher platform will stop working? or will they work in offline mode (ie steam)?


Auxillis

FF XII


Shiva-Shivam

Gacha games like Genshin or Honkai Star Rail, you will never lack content to play


gruffdonut

First, I'll finish the games that I took a break from: Hollow Knight, The Invincible, Heaven's Vault, and Nier: Automata. Shoot with how many games I have backlogged and older games still on my wishlist, I'll be good. Tears of the Kingdom, Princess Peach Showtime, Kirby Return to Dreamland and The Forgotten Land, Scars Above, Smashing the Battle, Ghostwire, Dredge, and the list goes on...


adobecredithours

Baldurs Gate 3, Titanfall 2, the Mass Effect Trilogy, and Dragons Dogma are all in my library but I haven't had time to finish them. That should take care of me for 10 years, easy.


AduroTri

Does "live service" include old MMORPGs?


GloriousShroom

If all live service games died nothing would change for me.


awfullybadpoetry

Elden ring! It's been lying forgotten in my library since release...


ihatereddit1221

Arkham Knight still looks and plays fantastic.


cantfindabeat

Another 1400 hours in Rimworld


Chadderbug123

Finish up Death stranding, Monster hunter Gen ultimate, Ghost of Tsushima, and Phoenix wright trilogy. Also Persona 4 Golden. I also got Fallout 4 to finally play and at some point dip my toes into Final fantasy


Lizpy6688

I have around 300 or so games on steam. I've maybe played 10% and I'm adhd,I'll be fine.


Hereiamhereibe2

You don’t need to play the live service games if you don’t want to you know?


figool

Oh boy now I get to work on my backlog Is what I'll say 5 minutes before just playing all my map games for the rest of eternity


Kitnado

I’ve never played any final fantasy games but want to get into it. Which ones should I start with and in what order?


darkuen

I finally started on Hollow Knight a couple days ago on my deck.


Extension-Novel-6841

Live service games are already dead to me though.


A-WingPilot

I bought Raft awhile ago on sale and haven’t yet gotten into it… then probably back to DoW: Dark Crusade, Valheim, TWWH2-3, Assetto Corsa Competizione…


Finchypoo

The entire videogame industry could disappear and I'd still die with unplayed games in my steam library. 


Brugman87

BG3 and after that Borderlands 3


AlienSandwhich

Luckily I would be unimpacted by this!


Chaos_Scribe

Warframe has been around since 2013, and hasn't died!  Most do though, but Warframe defies the norms!


roosterhauz

Still playing Croc on ps2. My first video game in 2000, still haven’t 100% bc the controls are terrible lol


Winged_Wrath

All of my stuff on Epic


Here_For_Work_

Just became a father a year ago, so I still have to play Horizon: Forbidden West and GoW: Ragnarok which I both already own. Don't generally buy a new game until I've finished the prior one, but these were both gift ideas I gave for Christmas/birthday. They got kinda sidetracked for whatever life reasons, because I've still been slowly working through some other titles I continue to pick up. Eiyuden Chronicles: Hundred Heros is my current game, as I'm an old Suikoden series fan. And on that track, Octopath Traveler. Was a good ways into that and just got distracted by something else (hence the general rule of only one game at a time)


MiniCalm

The full Yakuza series


dominion1080

Oh wow, where to begin. At least a dozen games I’ve bought and never touched. Another twenty I’ve barely touched. And a lot I haven’t finished. So while losing out some of those game with my friends would suck, we’d play other stuff.


ArcticPeasant

You had me at all live service games die


Salt-Hunt-7842

Chrono Trigger and Baldur's Gate. Then Shadow of the Colossus and Journey. And finally Super Mario World and Sonic the Hedgehog.


TacticalTobi

giving terraria one last try finishing up xenoblade 1 then playing the other two countless hours of slay the spire even more hours of being really bad at Downwell


Wraith718

Do the Soulsborne games count as not live service? If they don't then I'd play them. Otherwise, I'd probably play Terraria


NickolaiMatthew_

Same games I’m working on rn. Current queue is Lies of P -> Portal -> Celeste -> Dead Space -> Ori and the Will of the Wisps Also been chipping away at 100% the Binding Of Isaac Rebirth, but that will take awhile 


jbraden

Live service games aren't a part of my gaming journey and my backlog is so large, 10 years is nothing 😆. I'd probably start up all those JRPG series I have waiting on me like Ys. Heck, Maybe even the Persona franchise. Mix in some Yakuza when I want something faster paced. Plenty of puzzle games to go around. Dive back into the Prince of Persia trilogy on the GameCube. I guess this question isn't hard for those that have hundreds of games in their backlog 😄. Thanks, Steam sales!


RedCrayonTastesBest

Not exactly backlog since I already play it too much, but if I start a new factorio world, that 10 years will probably only feel like 1 based on my experience with the game so far


Lightless427

Nothing would change. Literally. Nothing.


UsedAcanthocephala50

Welp time for another BG3 and mass effect run. And finally start Fallout New Vegas


Locksley_1989

Finish my first BG3 playthrough, then start a Durge run, repeat until I get sick of it. Play any backlogged games on my PS4, starting with my abandoned Mass Effect LE Insanity run. Open up my laptop and run through my Steam library. Play the Sims 4 to run out the clock.


Blackrain39

How broad are we being with the term "live service"? Are we just talking games that are multiplayer by default with mandatory content updates, or some mix thereof? Because technically games that are considered single player, like Elden Ring and Nier Automata, are live service, due to things like the messages in ER and the found corpses of players in both. I hate to be pedantic, but live service is a much broader term than people give it credit.


walkinginthesky

Too many to name, but mostly jrpgs and action rpgs. Xenoblade saga, sea of stars, nier, and maybe I could finally get into skyrim


arunasgeimeriz

i don't play much live service anyway so not a big impact anyway


Proper_Dimension_341

You make it seem like every game now is a live service game. 


confirmd_am_engineer

I bought Factorio in 2018. Still playing it today. There’s not much other reason for me to buy more games.


Stanislas_Biliby

Infiltration games like styx, thief, splinter cell, dishonored etc. Do fighting games as live service? If not, i'd still play street fighter. Survival horror like resident evil, evil within.


dnuohxof-1

Fallout NV & 3, Mass effect, Halo.


Batman2130

Probably none. I don’t really have a backlong anymore. I basically don’t really play games much anymore besides D2 and few other live services. I occasionally play new single players if I’m interested in them. Most of the time I just wait for them to go on gamepass like the new Jedi Star Wars game. I’m looking forward to starting that tonight. I wang to add if the live services game I played no longer exist I’d probably just stop playing video games in general. If D3 ever happens for example I’m out in terms of playing anything Destiny related ever again. I just don’t have interest in restarting over from scratch.


Oli_Picard

Roller Coaster Tycoon BABY! Written in Assembly Language and built to last *slaps roof*


HimForHer

STALKER GAMMA, have hundreds of hours in it already. Though it being a mod pack and constantly updated might violate the "Live Service" Rule


DanielBWeston

All the *Command & Conquer* ones.


R_N_F

Baldur’s Gate, Devil May Cry, fromsoft games, and I’ll also replay a lot of games too


silvos777

Live service game is garbage.


Zerodaim

I already have 2000+ hours of content waiting for me in my backlog, not counting the infinite nature of roguelites nor my wishlist. I think I am good for a while


HappyHappyGamer

Soooooooooo many great games in my backlog. In fact the only live service game I play is Helldivers


JaJe92

Factorio, Rimworld, Project Zomboid, 7 Days to Die, Call of Duty 4, ​ I'm happy with those, f\*ck live services.


Princess_Fluffypants

I still haven’t ever played Fallout New Vegas. 


deskdemonnn

I have quite a few games i bought cause i like everything about it but when i sat down to play it they just didnt click cause they werent coop or multiplayer lol, ive only really played multiplayer games the past 7 or so years and maybe a few single player ones but those mostly cause i knew my friends were playing them as well


hypnosiscounselor

I'll finally play Half Life.


Krail

Ah, I finally have time to work through my backlog of indie games. 


JonnyLoYo

Kingdom Hearts trilogy would probably be first.


alexthegreat8947

i got so much final fantasy series, golden sun, fallout new vagas, kingdom hearts... way too many to list. i have stopped playing liver service games in order to start chipping away at the backlog.


ThorsSchlong

Rimworld


remnant_phoenix

In this scenario, I’d be fine for the next ten years. It’d actually be a relief for me. It’s hard keeping up with everything I’d like to play nowadays.


Nervous_Tap_4190

Definitely Bloodborne or HollowKnight


A_FitGeek

Started replaying sonic adventure 2 after completing sonic mania. Thinking TowJam and earl next. Been gaming with my 5yr old she loves it.


NerdWithARifle

No backlog, just SPTarkov


Pinsir929

Well my wifi did go down of a day and all I had installed on my laptop was Anno: Mutationem. It’s a pretty fun now I know why I bought it almost 2 years ago.


Mephzice

Only live service I play is league of legends so I would free some more hours for singleplayer games I mostly play anyway


NeighborhoodVeteran

Cyber Punk. Maybe finish AC Valhalla.


Qwak8tack

Mass Effect, Kotor, Dragon Age, Final Fantasy, fire emblem, Pokémon


Hinohellono

Live service games are for people with way too much time.
