All your games now have to start with the same letter, which one are you going with?

82

T

The Legend of Zelda
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
The....

The Elder Scrolls: ...

The Final Fantasy series.

The Sid Meier's Civilization series.

The colony survival game called Oxygen not Included.

Those are often categorized as

Legend of Zelda, The

technically, the post didn't as what letter they are categorized by

I'm saying that a lot of people would consider it to start with "L". I think it's common to say "Legend of Zelda", and even LoZ to refer to the series.

  • Satisfactory
  • Starcraft / 2
  • Slay the Spire
  • Saints Row
  • Sam & Max (tons)
  • Serious Sam
  • Scribblenauts
  • Shadowrun
  • Shadow Warrior
  • Shapez / 2
  • Shovel Knight
  • Skyrim
  • Soma
  • Slay the Princess
  • Space Engineers
  • Spelunky
  • Sid Meyer's Everything
  • Stanley Parable, the
  • Stardew Valley
  • Stronghold Crusaders
  • Subnautica
  • Sunless Sea
  • Sonic (all)
  • Super Mario (everything)
  • Superhot
  • Super Meatboy
  • Surviving Mars

Every Star Wars game...

Acting like Death Star interceptor and Vader Immortal don't exist.

I just meant you'd have access to them. Didn't mean to imply they were all good. I mean, I owned Shadows of the Empire on N64.

Yea, I'm not including Sid Meier in that. The only time that qualifier is ever used is when talking about Pirates!.

Fair! But why "Pirates!" but not Civilization? Formally, they are all named with the prefix.

D
Disco Elysium
Don't Starve
Dirt
Dishonored
Deus ex
Darkest Dungeon
Deadbolt
Dungeon of endless
Dwarf Fortress
Dying Light

A well-rounded list with some great time-sinkers in it!

Anything Dragon Quest needs to be on the list!

I agree with D, and would also like to submit the Dead Space games.

Enkrod feels euphoric due to every D-list in this thread menacing with spikes of Dwarf Fortress

For the sake of adding something new, X is pareto optimal in terms of having both the best and the fewest games.

  • Xenogears
  • Xenosaga (maybe, haven't played it yet)
  • Xenoblade anything
  • X-COM anything

I'd probably be content with only playing games from the Xeno- meta-series alone.

Oh that's easy.

M!

Monster Hunter

Monster Hunter Freedom

Monster Hunter Freedom 2

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Monster Hunter Generations

Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

Monster Hunter World/Iceborne

Monster Hunter Rise/Sunbreak

I guess you could say I like Monster Hunter

Metal Slug series

Mechwarrior series

Myst

Microsoft Flight Simulator series

Mario Kart series

Mario Party series

Master of Orion series

Marathon series

Mother series

Monster Party

F encompasses all the Final Fantasy , Final Fight, Fable, Fallout, Far Cry, Forza Horizon series, and some individual games like Forspoken, Forsaken, Fez, Fermi Paradox, Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, Fae Tactics and many others.

Definitly the D.

  • Doom.

  • Dune 2.

  • Disco Elysium.

  • Dark Souls 1, 2 and 3 as well as Demon Souls.

  • Dwarf Fortress.

  • Dark Messiah.

  • Diablo 1 and 2

  • Day of Defeat

  • Dead Space

  • Death Stranding.

  • Deep Rock Galactic.

  • Deus Ex.

  • Dying Light

And that's just what I have in my Steam library ('cept Demon Souls obviously). There's so many more D games that are also great.

Darkest Dungeon

F

Final Fantasy series

Fable series

Fallout series

Farcry series

Fortnite

Fall Guys

Five Nights at Freddy's series

F.E.A.R. series

FIFA series

Forza series

FTL

Edit:

Factorio

Flight Simulator

Fortnite?? Fall guys??????

I included Fall Guys because I liked it. I included Fortnite because it's one of the most popular games ever made. It would be weird not to include it.

A

  • Assetto Corsa
  • Assetto Corsa Competizione
  • Assetto Corsa Evo (soonβ„’)
  • Automobilista 2
  • American Truck Simulator
1 more...

I'm going to start with my most played game and work backwards from there. So... K for Kerbal Space Program.

Maybe not the best choice in terms of number of games but I'd still get stuff like

  • Knights of the Old Republic
  • King's Quest
  • Killer Instinct
  • Katamari
  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Killzone
  • Kirby

Probably others, but obviously not as extensive as a letter like S or T. Still I would probably opt to pick the letter with my favorite game of all time in there than one that just gives more options.

S technically

so many amazing games for Super Nintendo back in the day that literally started with "Super"

S because all of my games are on the S drive. Checkmate!

We just need to all go elderly collectively and call every gaming hardware and software a Nintendo

The person perhaps (eventually) most qualified to answer this might be Graeldon, who is on a quest to play every Steam game in alphabetical order.

Crusader Kings XYZ

Cities Skyline XYZ

Civilization XYZ / Colonization

Chivalry XYZ

And if I get desperate: Crysis and CoD.

A little more retro

Chrono trigger

Chrono cross

Castlevania

Counter strike

Contra

Either F, T, or S... but probably T.

F has Final Fantasy, Fallout, Factorio

S has Satisfactory, Super anything (incl Mario), most Star Wars games, and Sid Meier games

T has The ______. The list is too long to even start.

H for Hollow Knight, I think that pretty much settles it...

Hm, maybe A?

Age of Empires

Anno

Assassin's Creed

Aloft

Against the Storm

Across the Obelisk

Hm, E would be a good option as well

Elden Ring

Elder Scrolls

Europa Universalis

Endless (Space, Legend)

As a side note, would "Sid Meier's Civilization V" count as "s" or "c"?

I can say the two games that really got me into gaming (Christmas 1998) started with a T.

Tomb Raider 3 Tekken 3

Oh look at that, they were also the 3rd entry.
