Games you can lose

[Fajita Jim]

You can't lose in a game like GTAV, or Doom, or whatever game you can just load the last good quicksave.

But games like Civilization, Total War or hell even Homeworld, you can most certainly find yourself in a position where it is impossible to win without starting over.

I want moar of these games that pose a real threat of losing. Name some, thanks.

System Shock 2.

If you're careless with your module allocation or tools you can bone yourself to the point of never being able to finish the game.

Fallout 3 i believe has a option where everything you do could make you lose.

[Captain Pentium]

Chess.

[GhostyOsty]

Plague Inc.

Lose/Lose

There's no way to win. it randomly deletes things off your computer until it finally hits system files and kills it.

I think that qualifies as a game that you can't play again.

This is why I enjoy games such as dark souls, it's rewarding but very unforgiving if you fail.

basically any RTS or MOBA.

some MOBA games once the other team gets significantly higher level than you its impossible to win.

RTS games like AoE can get to a point where its impossible to win if the other player amasses a gigantic army and resource pool.

Especially in Age of Empires 2 as the AI gets free resources as the match is played so there's no wiggle room for slacking.

Not really into online multiplayer anymore. Too much juvenile toxicity.

Ah, did you watch Muta play that as well? With a VM Mac?

Playing Diablo II in the hardcore mode. Death is permanent. Especially if you play online on Battle Net (whatever the new name is) where you can't cheat and load an old save. You can still cheat in local single player.
There must be other perma-death games, but I don't know of any. Maybe Diablo III?

Also, for the LULZ, Solitaire, checkers. chess, etc. You can lose everything for real in real money poker. :)

I think you mean Fallout 4's survival mode where you can only save by resting at beds/sleeping bags/etc.

So you can't manually save. You can still manually reload, but your last save could have been an hour ago or so. All depends on when your character last rested.
