Reality Check - What is the Biggest Game in the World?

you didn't do biggest based on game size in memory

Yup. I have a 350hr approx Skyrim time. If only real life were as fun...

In terms of size most MMOs I've played, including WoW, were the biggest (I suppose in population and sales as well). The TES games were the biggest games in terms of personal importance and preference.

I'd actually like to know how scientists calculate altitude on other planets. What it ground level?

Best reality check yet, and makes you think. Skyrim would be my pick overall as far as game size and as a series the games have always been huge. Next do smallest/shortest game! My pick would be MGS:Ground Zeroes.

Biggest game world could hard to determine. What if you had a world like skyrim's but shrunk the character. Does that make the game world "bigger"? Point being size, at least in video games, is relative .

Kerbal Space Program, it has always felt huge to me but probably not due to it's actual size of the game world, i think it does a great job of portraying the size and emptiness of space and insignificance of man, as well as how difficult it can be to reach the edge of the planetary portion of the solar system.

Pointing out an error in the video: The biggest selling title isn't TETRIS, it's in fact "MINESWEEPER". Nothing else comes close in total sales.

In terms of "my real world" as per question at end of video, 425.5 Days played on my main in "World Of Warcraft".

I generally don't see the point of this. Is it just me or do you play games for entertainment?

Can we get Feedbackula back? This was painfully boring to watch. It doesn't even get on topic till after the minute mark.

I might be in the minority here but I kinda want smaller but more detailed worlds. For example a game like Skyrim is large but most of it is plain fields, look a like caves,fortresses, etc. Meanwhile games like GTA, Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham series have much more detail in their worlds.

In Batman I can stop and solve The Riddler mysteries, in AC I can see another historical building and climb around it until I find another glyph, and in GTA I can do all kinds of crazy stuff. Meanwhile in WoW I just kill mobs in one zone and then kill mobs in another - its a grind.

Cant wait for elite dangerous

It's a trick! He's trying to inadvertently teach us about science, good experimental procedure and parameter space.

I feel like I'm...learning things...wow, the world is so pretttty...

Great show. :-)

dont care about biggest.. i just want the best :P

Hey Cam, you should do an episode about the plasmids/vigors in the Bioshock games

Damn, Elite Dangerous sounds insane. I kinda doubt if this game will have that much of systems you can actually visit. But damn... Sounds like a huge game. I should check this game out, b/c the only thing I know about the game is the name.

In terms of personal importance, Bioshock Infinite is probably my biggest game. Gonna check out EVE and Elite Dangerous now though

milky way, FTW !!!!

ahh... i thought this was gonna be about the biggest game world...

Great show Cam very interesting.

Nice research Cam. But which game is the highest selling full priced game ($50-60) of all time, that isn't bundled? Minecraft is not a full priced game, and LOL is free to play. Cannot count entire franchises. One title only.

I doubt you'd actually be able to visit 400 billion different stars in that galaxy sized game. As if.

Cool video.

My biggest would be Morrowind, since it was a long wait for Oblivion. It seems larger than either that or Skyrim since you have to walk so much, little fast travel is available.

the game of life

Cam, I think you should have said it as "What is the biggest game... *Clarkson voice* ...in the world?".

Also, Skyrim: It's big. It's beautiful. It's BROWN!!

You could say whether a game world size is hand created verses randomly or procedurally generated since that is why a game like skyrim is so much smaller but has so much more to do

Biggest like most popular game or biggest like largest in game world?
