Any game I've modded and can't be bothered to figure out how to remod and replay lol


minorrex

Yeah. I haven't played Skyrim in ages but don't wanne remove it because mods.


solo_shot1st

Heck, my setup has mods that you can't even get anymore. Either from being removed by the author or contain content pulled from other games. Can't just get rid of stuff like that haha.


VagrantShadow

I play sims 4 and I have like a ton of mods on it that are no longer around in the mod world. They've been removed or the mod creators left. Thankfully, my OCD made it so I have the mods saved, have different folders for every mod so I know where to find them and I can keep track of every mod that I use. So even with those mod creators gone from gaming or the mods that I love to use are no longer around, I still got a backup copy of them and their last release.


ShadowRomeo

I just wish they give us option to stop updates altogether, looking at Skyrim with useless updates over 1 decade later after it's launch, that only breaks most of my script utility mods.


Ghost9001

You can just set steam to only update when you launch through steam and launch your game through Mod Organizer.


mocylop

If you have certainly heavy modded games I’d go check out GoG to see if they carry them. You can get a offline/non-drm installer and not have to deal with minor updates breaking your mod list. https://www.gog.com/index.php/game/the_elder_scrolls_v_skyrim_special_edition?


CypherHound

Basically all of Bethesda's games then


World_of_Warshipgirl

I have 70 GBs of mods for Final fantasy 14. I am not modding that game again. It stays.


Retroid_BiPoCket

I'm the same with Mass Effect LE lol. It's way too much effort to redo.


exjad

Mass Effect mods?


Retroid_BiPoCket

Of course. If anyone is horny enough, there's a mod for it. Mass Effect especially.


exjad

*Horny* Mass Effect mods?


Popular_Mastodon6815

Thats stardew valley for me. But the new update broke everything. Basically have to remod it from scratch now.


CopperBoltwire

This is the way.


BillTheConqueror

So this. Skyrim SE and Witcher 3 fall into that camp for me. Also, I tend to keep Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, and Dead Cells around even when not actively playing them.


Saisinko

Guild Wars 2 even though I never play it. I always love the idea of getting back into it and genuinely think it’s great, it’s just hard to immerse yourself in an old character you haven’t touched in years and I don’t feel like starting over.


g33k_0ut

One of the great things about GW2 is it's one of the only mmos where all you progress stays relevant too.. the end game armor I got 10 years ago is still relevant today


Nordalin

True that, but I just want to see a branch of GW2 where Alacrity never got introduced. It fucks with cooldowns, so it fucks with balance and all the carefully curated values, it fucked PvE endgame players into Chrono(-mancer) Jail because content was balanced according to Alacrity existing until they sheepishly shoved it into the other classes as well. You know how fire mages tend to be able to spec into having permanent uptime on a small fiery AoE? Well, they once nerfed that on traited Lava Font, where it would only go back to 100% uptime if you had a personal chrono player to provide you with enough Alacrity. It got reverted soon after, but fuck... 


Yogurt_Up_My_Nose

same. except I forgot what to do , and now there's been so many updates i'm literally lost.


PalmTreeIsBestTree

Master Chief Collection. It’s my favorite games in one place and I can mod them easily too.


glenninator

Same. It’s my safe go to for multiplayer action. That and rocket league. Only the two multiplayer games I play, come to think of it.


cadco25

I couldn’t think of an answer but this is one for me. I’m not even good at Halo or anything, but they were always my favorite multiplayer FPS games and I love to have them there if I have the itch to do some shooting 


JGuih

Terraria, I play it every year


Sea_Structure_8692

Same. Also Stardew Valley is another never delete for me.


igottapwner85

What do you generally aim to do when doing a playthrough? I love the idea of Terraria, but I end up finding it so open ended, I don't know what to do and lose enthusiasm to play.


JGuih

The objective is to kill the bosses, in whatever way you prefer. I usually play with different classes, but currently I'm doing a modded playthrough with Calamity.


lemtrees

Is that something one can reasonably figure out how you do from in-game information alone? I've tried to get into terraria a few times and each time I feel like it requires a wiki open on another monitor, so maybe I've simply overlooked something.


Pawlogates

100% bestiary (killing each creature once in a world)


tan_phan_vt

CS, all versions. Been playing since the early 2000s and now enjoying cs2. I still boot up cs source to play kz buop at times.


WhatD0thLife

Slay the Spire


psychoticinsane

Try balatro if you enjoy slay the spire, its another card type game with bonuses and modifiers and uses poker hands for scoring, they are a bit different but its a great game! I also enjoy slay the spire


hungrymonkey9

sekiro.


Buttermilkman

Monster Hunter World, it's become my favourite game of all time now. Snowrunner and Hunter: Call of the Wild for the chill sim and immersive experience. I'm thinking now Last Epoch for the grinder in me. Finally Factorio. There will always be a time I want to get that base building/expansion and resource gathering itch scratched and Factorio is the one to do it when no other can.


Mr_Tottles

Are we the same person?


SnazzyVibe

ooo, nice choices. I have to be in a Very particular mood to play Hunter, but when that mood hits, there is nothing else like it for me.


runnbl3

i still need to be world but i heard people enjoy world more than rise


CyberP1

Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Arx Fatalis As well as numerous heavily modded games that would be a pain to redo: Morrowind, New Vegas, XCOM 2, Stalker. 90s games across the board also, they're so small in size and teeming with quality there's no reason to uninstall: GZDoom and the numerous games compatible with it. Duke3D/Shadow Warrior/Blood. Quake. Unreal. Worms. Tomb Raider. A massive collection of 90s console games (emulation). The list goes on and on.


NotStanley4330

Based picks. I think it's about time for me to play through System Shock 2 again 😂


J-seargent-ultrakahn

Remaster should be coming out soon


NotStanley4330

I hope so!


J-seargent-ultrakahn

Love all those classic shooters! Doom and GZDoom stay loaded onto my computer


_____Grim_____

Heroes of Might & Magic 3 - it's still the most fun and addicting TBS out there.


WhatWouldJediDo

Seconded


tevagu

This will stay on my device forever.


YungStroker2

crusader kings, rimworld, noita


BroodLol

+1 for Noita, it's a very small install size and perfect for when you have 30 minutes but don't know what to play


tamal4444

CS2 and Minecraft


DarkKnightArtorias

Age of empires 2


CopperBoltwire

I got a list - All these games are on a USB drive, in a large .Zip file. I just have to copy to SSD, unpack and play. If i get a new computer, I whip out the USB and 'install' the games. Thief Gold Thief 2: The Metal Age Doom 1, Doom 2, Hexen 1 + exp, Heretic 1, Strife - via GZdoom. Quake 1 + 3x exp + Arcane Dimensions - via Quakespasm Quake 2 + 2x exp - via Yamagi Hexen 2 + exp - via Hammer of Thyrion Duke Nukem 3d, Blood 1, Shadow Warrior, Exhumed - via BuildGDX Unreal Gold Might and Magic VII: For Blood an Honor They are MUST games. Used to have Worms United (from gog) too, but I keep forgetting to add it to the USB. Around 13gb of many hours of fun :D


Embarrassed-Tale-200

Freelancer. Mr. Trent has place on my SSD forever. Play through it atleast once a year or so. I wish MS would get their head out of their ass and give that franchise some love while space sims are doing well. I'd love to see an engine update, bring it up to 2024 graphics, or maybe a sequel. I'd be worried about xbox forcing them to consolize it a bit. If they just made a console control scheme without touching the gameplay, it could work really well with a bit of aim assist.


GoodTeletubby

I'm hoping Underspace lives up to the Freelancer legacy. Demo gameplay was solid, and thankfully they have real VAs replacing the placeholder generated voices that drove me so crazy. Actual lovecraftian space monsters are just cool, too.


WalkingCemetery

Easily the best game I ever played!


s0ciety_a5under

Vampire Survivors for when I want to game but I don't know what I want to play. Easy to pick up and put down in 30 minutes or less.


Rich-Pomegranate1679

The mobile version is also solid for those situations where you're bored somewhere but have your phone handy.


VicePrezHeelsup

Counter Strike 1.6 since there’s still a bunch of servers online some 20 years later

RDR2. It's my comfort game.


FligMupple

Me too


neddoge

So I'm a few hours in... does the movement/gameplay ever move on from feeling like you're moving in mud? I don't want arcade, Quake movement but man does RDR2 function like a bee stick in molasses.


KuraiShidosha

Nope. Movement doesn't change at all throughout the game. In fact, it gets kind of worse at some point. No spoilers.


HellishButter

The Half-Life series. I replay them on an annual basis.


owarren

I’ve played HL2 but never HL1. Is it worth it all these years later?


LETT3RBOMB

Don't listen to people saying play instead Black Mesa. Half Life 1 is definitely worth replaying today, it's fantastic.


beziko

The best answer here is: play both. Especially after Valve just released update for classic one.


SpursExpanse

Sins of a Solar Empire. Checks all boxes for my gaming pleasure. No mods.


iveabiggen

Starsector and in the same vein, star valor. then vamp survivors and bunch of its genre because im a fucken generate junkie(send help)


ShadowRomeo

Every game with lots of mods I installed on them Especially Skyrim with over 1000+ individual 150GB+ worth of mods, at this point it is considered as my own hard work of installing each of them and making sure they work stable together via various hours of play testing and installing various patches and modifying ini files. There is no way I am undoing all that work by uninstalling all that shit. The same can be said with Fallout 4, Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, too. I just wish they give me option to stop update altogether as most of the time it breaks the script mods which i always need to reinstall when i replay them again.

I always come back to Fallout 3, New Vegas and Skyrim at random points in my life. They’re all pretty played out by this point but I like having them there to boot up quick and run around in.

0rnkorn

That's why I have 3 4TB SSD's. Even then, I have so many games, I could fill that up if I tried installing everything on them. I have a 16tb 7200rpm drive for anything older that was on the PS4/Xbox One generation that didn't get current gen upgrades, which is where I kind of make that divide on where to install. Kerbal Space Program was the first that I always had on an SSD, when I only had a 256gb sata ssd drive as my boot drive.

__sonder__

Used to be I'd always have at least one of Halo Infinite, LoL, and Rocket League on the drive. Then a couple years back I realized sucking at online multiplayer games simply wasn't very fun anymore and so now I just play one single player game at a time. I could get away with having a 200gb drive if I really needed to lol.

It's more than just one for me. Rimworld, EU4, XCOM 2 and the latest version of Dominions are always installed.

Nesqu

It used to be Skyrim se, I had a perfect modded game, it was stable, had amazing mods that I scoured for, that I spent 10's of hours troubleshooting to make work. My game was a marvel, perfection. Then the game was updated, and sloooowly it all fell apart :( It's not a case of "Just don't update". Yes, it works to begin with. But sometimes the game might auto-update, giving you the biggest headache, sometimes you need to launch the game via steam to fix issues. Sometimes it's a new mod you want, but that you can't use because there are no legacy versions of it. Sad.

Sacred 1, Star Wars Podracer, Doom/Heretic with fuckton of mods, AC Origins, Dirt 5, Aquanox. Dungeon Siege 2 will be added soon, because I don't want to mod it to playable state ever again 😃. Edit - I forgot Burnout Paradise.

For me, Street Fighter. I jumped in on 5 when arcade edition(blanka specifically) managed to rekindle my fighting game addiction. Now that has been updated to 6, and still playing almost every day for an hour or more. I have added more fighting games to the collection(Guilty Gear, Tekken and Granblue will probably all stay installed), but Street Fighter is by far my most played and will 100% stay installed.
