[Clear]

I have access to literally THOUSANDS of games, on PC, Xbox, and Playstation. If I lost access to 99% of them I'd still have enough to keep me occupied for way more than a month.

 

[Edgelord79]

My work pays for mine so if that happened, they would immediately get another.

 

[T-Cake]

I could play Brotato for the entire month of December and not get bored.

 

[graywolf323]

I have 5TBs of installed games just on PS5. Assuming steam also works offline which I haven't tried in a while, I have another 2TB. I think I'm good for a few years.

 

[Soodanim]

Currently playing Coromon, and all I would lose access to is online daily bonuses. It’s still a long Pokémon clone with plenty to do.

Then there’s my habit of installing but not playing/finishing games. I could play games 24/7 and not get through them all.

Then there’s the ultimate fallback: No Man’s Sky. I’m nowhere near finished with it and it could be easily a month alone.

Very easy yes for me.

 

[username12]

It would take me years to get through my sealed in box games, let alone whatever else I have.

 

[Lokaum D+]

I m fine, have a lot of free DRM offline games on my PC

 

[MadchesterManc]

Still have most of my older consoles with plenty of games. I could probably get through the first week with just an LMA Manager game and the challenge of taking the crazy gang to Premier League glory

 

[Fahdis]

Ive got Knack and Sex with Hitler. I'm good for a decade.

 

[Kamina]

Internet could go down forever for all i care.
I have 30 years of gaming to look back at. Plenty of games to enjoy.

 

[bundylove]

Who needs video games when you have a years worth of lego.
Not my full collection but should give you an idea

 

[FunkMiller]

Yeah, I’d be fine. I have a good ten to fifteen games saved in Steam I haven’t played yet, and another ten or so VR games.

 

[HercRaato]

I have enough physical games I could be offline for the rest of my life with no issue. I may even have enough for my kid to be offline for the rest of his life and he's in college.

 

[Lord Malachite]

I've got about 3TB of games on my expansion HDD for my PS5 plus what's on the internal drive, plus a ton of discs sitting on a shelf that need only be installed. Some of these discs are unopened so I might be stuck on version 1.00 of those games for the month. But the point is, the catalog at my fingertips that doesn't need to be downloaded via internet or played online is so vast I would hardly notice the loss.

 

[kevboard]

with access to the entire SNES, NES, GB, GBC, GBA, Mega Drive and PC Engine library... I'd say yeah.

I also have a bunch of GoG games on my Steam Deck that I haven't finished yet, like Tomb Raider Anniversary, Jedi Academy and Mafia Definitive Edition... of course tons ot 360 disc games, some PS3 disc games, some Xbox One disc games, some PS4 disc games... yeah... I'd manage.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Kinda wish it would, then I'd finally play games I've neglected.

 

[Redeeming Casualty]

Everybody could stop making games and I would be fine. I replay stuff so much. It's not my fault some things can never been the hours of endless fun wave race 64 water physics are.

 

[TransTrender]

Shit ton of Steam games are already downloaded.
Lots of stuff already installed on the PS5
I'm also a weirdo and check for updates for whatever Switch games I have on deck at a given time.
Could probably last for years.

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

Easily, by a mile, due to all the retro games and loaded emulation setups I have going.

Heck I could occupy myself for a very long time with just a single old device, my OG Game Boy (modded with backlight) which has a flashcart in it containing the entire history of GB ROMs.

 

[Hero_Select]

I still have my Gamecube and PS2 hooked up and a ton of games for both as well as the vast majority of my games being physical. I would be completely satisfied

 

[hinch7]

No problem. There's already a lot of games installed from Steam on my PC and unless it has online DRM; theres no time limit on offline games. Same for PS5 as well.

I would be missing out with some game time with friends which would suck a bit. Though it also would give me some incentive to go through my massive backlog lol.

With that said I would just tether to my cells ISP line and play using that.

 

[RickMasters]

I have 800 digital games. Most of them don’t rely on an online connection so yeah, I’d be fine for years. Especially when I think of all the different types of RPGs and open world games I have. Even if I chose to stop buying new games and cancel my gamepass sub, I’d be fine for a very long time as far as games.

 

[ReBurn]

I pretty much just went through this with hurricane Helene. I did fine on Switch and Steam Deck.

 

[Kdad]

Guess I’ll be fine

Reminds me I have to pull the ol PS3 out and crack open WKC still.

 

[sendit]

If internet is down for a month, the last thing i would be doing is gaming.

 

[Dthomp]

Easily, I could keep busy for the rest of my life off my backlog of physical games without even a thought about missing internet

 

[Ozzie666]

Analogue Pocket, Analogue Duo, Mega SG, Super NT and a Mister and various other systems with Retrotink 4k, PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, Gamecube. I'm good for a long time, better games that don't require patches or on-line connectivity.

I do recall when DCUO on-line came out, I was so into that game before the Sony Hack. The game was off-line for 2 months and was never the same, it was depressing. When FFXIV went down for the Realm reborn, it was depressing. But luckily I no longer have any MMO commitments or adictions. Thank god.

 

[Team Andromeda]

I'd probably have to kms then...


Jokes aside, I'd just switch to books. That's what I did when I had playtime limits as a kid anyways

I'm surprised you didn't come back with I'll use the generator. One can also read books when the internet goes down too

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

I also had playtime limits, severe ones even, like even on weekends often getting just 1 hour total per day of video games--much less on school days.

I learned to love playing solo games. For instance, I found a way to progressively reveal rooms in HeroQuest in such a way that I was able to go through the whole game & expansion in pure solo mode.

Or building very different card decks for Magic or Star Trek collectible games and playing them against each other. And reading of course; but also there were books that tried to feel like video games, eg. Which Way and Choose Your Own Adventure, plus actual puzzle adventure books.

 

[Merkades]

I would be stuck with...

Cat Quest III
Chinese Paladin: Sword and Fairy 6
Crosscode
Crystal Project
Divinty: Original Sin 2
Dragon Quest 11 S
Elex
Epic Battle Fanatsy 5
Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon
Fell Seal: Arbiters Mark
Final Fantasy IV 3d
Final Fantasy V PR
Final Fantasy IX
Grim Dawn
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure
Last Epoch
Laxius Soul
Light Fairytale Episode 1
Live a Live
Monster Hunter Stories 2
Octopath Traveler
One Piece Odyssey
Shadows Awakening
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
Skyborn
Star Ocean The Divine Force
Star Ocean The Second Story R
Tears of Avia
Tevi
The DioField Chronicles
The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails
Trails through Daybreak
Trials of Mana
Trinity Trigger
Tokyo Xanadu ex+
Valdiss Story: Abyssal City
Valkyria Chronicles 4
Wayfinder

That's all I could find sans a few MMOs which don't count since I would need the internet. Man...Having wrote all that out, I sure have a lot of games installed. A fair few of them are partially played but some have been here forever. Also explains why I fell like I should by a second ssd (or bigger).

 

[darth.shrimp]

Let's see...

On PC:
- Grim Dawn (yeah I should be good with this one alone)
- Tales of Graces F (should get back to it one day, as boring as it is)

On the Switch: ... oh boy where do I start lol
- Bayonetta 1+2
- Xenoblade 1+2 (still haven't finished either)
- Sakuna
- Astral Chain
- try to finish Mario 64, then start Sunshine and Galaxy

Should keep me busy for a lot more than a month...

 

[Lokaum D+]

Guess I’ll be fine

and that's why PC is King, I can play every single one of these games in ONE system, without the need to stack games on every shelf and drawer i have

 

[envyzeal]

I’ll just agree to disagree. The only problem I have is lacking more drawers and shelves, can’t wait to stack more piles of plastic and I’m not even joking.

 

[Bert Big Balls]

Good question. Thinking of what's installed on my PS5 and PC right now, would be the following: Dead Space Remake, Dark Souls 3, WoW, Skyrim, Dragon Age Origins. Yeah, I think i'll be fine.

 

[jm89]

Physical master race.
