80-90 days is what Elon Musk say they aim for their interplanetary travel to Mars.
That is both long and quick, depending how you see on it.
What games would you bring to make the voyage more pleasant, keeping your sanity? And lasts for the journey
Not discussing education, books or movies here, just games. Available today or released soon.

Would it be a nostalgic trip, working on your backlog or a mix of games giving you maybe open world to compensate the cramped living quarters on the ship?

 

[PK Gaming]

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Like every Pokemon game

Persona 1 ~ 4

 

[sixteen-bit]

Mars Matrix

 

[Mushroomer25]

Presuming the tech is ready to roll by 2023, I could see VR being a good use of the time. Give me a good version of GTA, Minecraft, and/or Fallout in VR - I'd be good for a nice long time.

 

[ekim]

Do I have Internet on the ship?

 

[21XX]

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Like every Pokemon game

Persona 1 ~ 4

I think the goal of any long-term space travel is to NOT go crazy.

 

[Benedict]

I still have Witcher 3 to play through.
But would also enjoy maybe Minecraft and some more light hearted games.
Some RPGs like the last Elder scrolls would be nice as well as some Nintendo classics.
Not sure Fallout 4 and similar games I usually like would be healthy though.

 

[zoukka]

Probably nothing. I'm in the fucking space, I don't need videogames there.

 

[KojiKnight]

Do I have Internet on the ship?

Yeah but the ping will be astronomic.

 

[Regiruler]

Probably nothing. I'm in the fucking space, I don't need videogames there.

Space is 99.9999999% nothing.

I'm pretty sure you're mandated to bring some sort of entertainment in space assignments.

 

[E_Darkness]

Probably nothing. I'm in the fucking space, I don't need videogames there.

You going to meditate instead?

 

[liquidtmd]

I wait for a game to install on Xbox, then play for a few hours before hitting the surface

 

[ekim]

Yeah but the ping will be astronomic.

Well then no Overwatch for me.
I would probably stick to playing some open world game and/or RPG.

 

[Kurdel]

Doom

 

[Chezzymann]

Probably nothing. I'm in the fucking space, I don't need videogames there.

Sadly it's not going to look like those pretty Hubble images

Just black with white dots

 

[robotnik]

Zero Time Dilemma.

 

[WooHooAlex]

Give me Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5, Final Fantasy XII and Tetris and I'll make 90 days fly right by.

If I'm only allowed one game,

Spoiler

fuck you, I'm bringing 4

 

[The Dear Leader]

DOOM and a VHS copy of Total Recall.

 

[Atilac]

A bunch of ps1 and SNES roms with appropriate emulators. EU4, HOI4, FTL, Halcyon 6, Darkest Dungeon, the enhanced versions of the old infinity engine games, Pillars of eternity, wasteland 2 directors cut, and mario kart 8 amd wii u smash with enough controllers for splitscreen.

 

[Sadist]

Zero Time Dilemma.

Should have said Virtue's Last Reward lol

 

[FelipeMGM]

All the 3D GTA's (plus Red Dead Redemption), the latest FIFA and all the Pokémon mainline RPG's would sure be enough

 

[TimeEffect]

Scary space games

 

[5taquitos]

Tharsis so I could drive myself crazy thinking about all the ways I could die on the trip there.

 

[PK Gaming]

I think the goal of any long-term space travel is to NOT go crazy.

Speak for yourself!

I literally have 300 hours on that game 👌

 

[BouncyFrag]

The next Elder Scrolls game.

 

[Reg]

Probably nothing. I'm in the fucking space, I don't need videogames there.

Says the man that will go stir crazy soon after.

 

[digita1alchemy]

Phantasy Star Online is my favorite game and also seems appropriate.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Mostly big story based JRPGs, since I'd have the time to appreciate them.

Stuff like Breath of Fire III, Dragon Quest V, Suikoden 1/2, Vandal Hearts, Dragon Warrior Monsters, Shining Force 3s1-3, Grandia, Chrono Trigger, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Skies of Arcadia, etc, etc

 

[petran79]

Star Citizen, if it gets finished by 2023

 

[krang]

Flappy Bird. Just for the masochism.

 

[Troubled Bat]

Bloodborne

Edit: Dead Space 2 to actually complete it. Lol

 

[Krooner]

I think the goal of any long-term space travel is to NOT go crazy.

The zero gravity could really help with the console/hand placement problem. We may have just stumbled upon the best way to play it.

 

[Cyanity]

Probably Xenoblade Chronicles and Dark Souls 1 or 2

 

[BitStyle]

If MMOs count then FF14.
Other than that, probably some Tycoon games and lengthy rpgs to pass the time.

 

[Krakatoa]

Holy shit at the lag with online gaming.

 

[Htown]

Civ 5

Dark Souls for something with more action

both of those games have a lot of replay value

 

[Zukuu]

Everything.

 

[Masterspeed]

Every Pokemon game so I can finally "Catch Em All" while doing the Nuzlocke challenge.
I'm sure that'll be enough time for me.

Also, the box set of Friends and Simpsons (Seasons 1-10)

 

[ChoklitCow]

Probably just Doom and Dead Space to get me in the mood.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic

Halo Combat Evolved

Metal Slug 3

Age of Mythology

 

[Veritigo_X]

I'd initiate the time warp technology known as Civilization 5 to make time go by 100x as fast.

 

[tiebreaker]

PES or FIFA, in case I need my football fix. Then, probably Mario Kart to play with other people on the ship, and lastly some JRPGs when I'm alone. I'm thinking of Persona 4, Ni No Kuni, and Suikoden I & II.

 

[Plague Doctor]

By that time Half Life 3.

Believe.

 

[the_lizard]

Would LAN be possible within the ship? If so Rocket League 150%, along with other multiplayer games to play on LAN with other passengers. Overwatch, Street Fighter.

And yeah, as has already been said, a slew of RPGs to get lost in, both new and old.

 

[Arlen777]

Adrift VR

 

[Awntawn]

If MMOs count then FF14.
Other than that, probably some Tycoon games and lengthy rpgs to pass the time.

Unless they set up a server for people on the ship to play with each other, I doubt you'll be able to get online

 

[Forsaken82]

If MMOs count then FF14.
Other than that, probably some Tycoon games and lengthy rpgs to pass the time.

So are you expecting Wi-Fi millions of miles into space?

 

[fredrancour]

i cram whatever the current best build of dolphin is onto a laptop and spend some time leveling up at melee.

then some rpgs for when i need something lower-key.

 

[banefirelord]

Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis IV, Hearts of Iron IV, Rimworld and a thoroughly modded Skyrim.
