Assuming the equipment was also saved so you could still play the games, and every game in existence you don’t mention gets permanently destroyed, and no new games are ever to be made.

Inspired by a video by OutsideXbox from a few years ago, I thought it would be a fun idea to see what this community would choose. You can choose to be selfish and pick games you personally want to always play, or try to figure out what games would be best chosen for humanity to save for whatever reason. I’d also love to hear why you chose your games. Do they have a special meaning to you? I want to hear your stories.

    • Minecraft (It’s a sandbox)
    • Garry’s Mod (It’s a sandbox)
    • Roblox (It’s a sandbox)
    • Skyrim (It’s a heavily mod-able medieval RPG)
    • Portal 2 (It’s literally anything at this point: a web server, a game engine, a fucking computer, a lot is possible when the right people crack it open)

      Nothing personal but what if we save either GTA V (or VI), TF2, Arma 3 or Foxhole and let Roblox be destroyed?

        Gta 5 would be fine. Its got some unique gamemodes with FiveM, and like 992526737373773 empty RP servers.

      I think this is the winning move, going for the big sandbox games with strong modding scenes. Personally, I’d pick Neverwinter Nights 2 and GZDoom over Roblox and Portal 2.

      Portal 2 (It’s literally anything at this point: a web server, a game engine, a fucking computer, a lot is possible when the right people crack it open)

      Has it’s modding scene opened this much? I thought people were mostly making test chambers.

        Does NWN2 have a strong modding scene?

        I played a shitload of NWN and that would have been my pick, but from my recollection NWN2 multiplayer custom servers died when Obsidian put in the (insane) requirement to download terrain meshes outside of the game.

        I haven’t circled back to the NWN2 enhanced edition to see if that was ever reworked.

          Honestly, no idea, lol. I never went beyond NWN 2’s original campaign. I just figured it would have more potential than NWN 1, in a world with only 5 games.
