I thought this would be a fun game to play. Let's come up with a list of phenomenal single-player content-rich experiences with a significant amount of replay value that will keep us occupied for a really long time while we rot away in our doomsday bunker.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion First/Third Person, Open World Modern Action RPG High Fantasy Bethesda Game Studios 2006 Mods. Tons of mods.
Deus Ex First Person, Non-Linear FPS/RPG, Immersive Sim Cyberpunk, Dystopian Ion Storm 2000 Surprisingly bloody (I love bloody), high replay value, reinstall it.
Dead Rising Third Person, Open World Zombie Survival Brawler with light RPG mechanics Modern, Zombie Apocalypse Capcom 2006 Extremely gory and violent zombie slasher, main quest timers can be ignored and you can continue playing the game as a sandbox if you fail them. I say it's a brawler because it has some interesting gameplay loops and comical combat that is unlike anything else.
Boiling Point: Road To Hell First Person, Open World FPS/RPG Modern, South American jungles and towns Deep Shadows 2005 Interesting Open World FPS with faction relations. Kinda niche.
~ Let's format it like this for convenience: Game Title Game Genre Setting Genre Developer Year Released Your thoughts and opinions on the game.

How are you getting electricity in your doomsday bunker?
Logan Morgan
Good point. Underground generator powered by flowing cave water? Geothermal Energy? Solar Panels that engage post-blast?
Kevin King
But you must be a really wealthy fuck or own a cave with a stream inside to use any of those. Average user could probably hope to bring a bunch of handhelds in the shelter and dick arpund with those until batteries run out. Quentin comic about playing 3DS in a public fallout shelter when?
Jose Baker
Grimoire Whatever meme Clive settled with calling it. Wizard 7 clone is accurate. High Fantasy Clive 1995 There are over 300 hours of autistic fun to be had. What's not to love?
:^)

In the event of nuclear armageddon, a working video game handheld like that would become the most valuable item in the post nuclear world, an excellent way to forget the nuclear holocaust around you.
Zachary Turner
Fallout, for humorous irony
Luke Myers
that and alcohol. Lots of alcohol
Hunter Peterson
We need more irony.
Christopher Hill
A diesel generator
Justin Scott
Doom 2 (+ Oblige) FPS Uh, fantasy + sci-fi I guess. Demons from Hell and plasma rifles. ID Software 1994 The base game has decent levels and solid gameplay. Oblige is essentially a random map generator for Doom. While you could download all of the good map .wads out there you would eventually run out. Oblige all but guarantees you will never run out of new levels.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Open World Crime Sandbox with light RPG elements (Stamina, getting fat, etc) Modern, Mock SoCal + Southern Nevada Rockstar Games 2004 YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO FOLLOW THE DAMN TRAIN
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Call of Chernobyl (Standalone Mod for Call of Pripyat) First Person Open World FPS/RPG (No Level Ups, Skills, Attributes) Modern Surreal Isolated Post-Apocalypse afflicting only a small area dubbed "The Zone", Eastern European, set in Ukraine. N/A Still In Development, Community Fan Project. Call of Chernobyl is a mod for Call of Pripyat that brings together the content from all 3 games in the franchise, resulting in a massive world to explore.

Kill yourself.
Riding hard on a stationary bike is going to generate about 200W. That's barely enough to power a 1070 by itself under load.
Caleb Bailey
Oblivion is the best in the franchise. It bridges the gap between the gameplay possibilities of Morrowind with the streamlined combat of Skyrim. Hardly the black sheep of the franchise. Skyrim is too dumbed down, Morrowind has terrible dice-rolls, Oblivion is just right.
Samuel Gomez
Quit being a retard
Christopher Hill

The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall First Person, Open World RPG High Fantasy Bethesda Softworks 1996 HALT! HALT! HALT!
Chase Ramirez
Wouldn't the EMP fry all your electronics?
Daniel Garcia
Do you need to specify that in a thread dedicated to games with high replay value? Otherwise people are just going to recommend their favorite games instead of lasting experiences. You'd need some way to quantify playtime / potential playtime and a reason to replay.
Levi Brooks
All my playthroughs have been entirely different so far ^_^
Noah Myers
I wish I could slap your shit.
Noah Nelson
All of mine have started on Liberty Island and ended at Area 51 so I don't know what you're talking about
Oliver Ross
Just play Stalker, maybe it'll even help you when you get out of the bunker.
Mason Fisher
Entire Total War series.
Connor Sullivan
Pac-Man Arcade Coin-Op A Maze Namco 1981
It's Pac-Man. Simple, fun, endlessly replayable. Games don't need to be a huge epic story-quest with a gigantic world to be good.
Landon Moore
Why are people on here niggering?
Cooper Young
What does that verb refer to? The action of developing high amounts of melanin?
Samuel Lee
More than enough for a Genesis though. Implement a weighty flywheel and you'll have a nice stable power supply once it's turning.
Michael Reed
lmao dead rising is shit
Brody Jackson
It's a mystery
Owen Sanders
Morrowind's combat is bad, but the vast majority of people who complain about it don't understand why it's bad. Dice rolls to hit are fine, especially since you're not likely to miss if you have full stamina. The real issue is how fucking boring melee is (there's no mechanical reason not to check the "always use best attack" box, and the only thing you can really do is spam attack since block is automatic and you don't get anything else) and the way that ranged weapons double dip on missing (you have to hit the enemy as in a normal FPS, and then the game rolls again to see if you actually hit). This is fine for melee since enemies don't ever abuse the mechanics the way the player can, but it's a pain in the ass for ranged.
That said, Morrowind is still objectively the best TES game. Daggerfall and Oblivion both have a few features that make them worth playing but as a whole are worse than Morrowind, while Skyrim is almost entirely without merit (I haven't played Arena).

i think doom 1 and doom 2 would be nice to have and fallout 3 and or new vegas for that added waifu value
