Comment on If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?

  I clearly don’t know enough about Portal 2, care to explain more? I’m definitely out of the loop.

    The testing elements in Portal 2’s maps are technically Turing-complete, and people have made very simple “computers” with them. Here’s a video from 2012 of someone building logic gates.

    There’s also VScript which PortalRunner on YouTube used to port an NES emulator and make a web server. Their channel is really good if you like this type of silly hacky fun.

    I got you. It’s an entry in the Portal franchise, with the “2” indicating that it is the second in the series.

  Nothing personal but what if we save either GTA V (or VI), TF2, Arma 3 or Foxhole and let Roblox be destroyed?

    Gta 5 would be fine. Its got some unique gamemodes with FiveM, and like 992526737373773 empty RP servers.

  I think this is the winning move, going for the big sandbox games with strong modding scenes. Personally, I’d pick Neverwinter Nights 2 and GZDoom over Roblox and Portal 2.

  Portal 2 (It’s literally anything at this point: a web server, a game engine, a fucking computer, a lot is possible when the right people crack it open)

  Has it’s modding scene opened this much? I thought people were mostly making test chambers.

    Does NWN2 have a strong modding scene?

    I played a shitload of NWN and that would have been my pick, but From my recollection NWN2 multiplayer custom servers died when Obsidian put in the (insane) requirement to download terrain mesh’s outside of the game.

    I haven’t circled back to the NWN2 enhanced edition to see if that was ever reworked.

      Honestly, no idea, lol. I never went beyond NWN 2’s original campaign. I just figured it would have more potential than NWN 1, in a world with only 5 games.
