A game that's actually enjoyable... does it exist?

League is fun at times, but 90% of the time it's just infuriating. I also can't stand Beck, Merril, Ma and all the greed that drives this game, I can't stand the double standards and absolute lack of balance... it just drives me crazy.

I just need a game to play that's actually enjoyable and lasts more than a few hours (Ori and the Blind Forest? I LOVED that game, but I beat it in ~6 hours.)

  • I played WoW for 14 years and loved it. Then Activision went and killed it in order to make more money.

  • I went to Wildstar and had so much fun, but then the gimme generation cried because it was too hard and left, and the game died.

  • I played GW2 for a while, and while the combat is my favorite in any MMO, there's just nothing to do once you hit max level, since there's no progression.

  • I've tried getting into FFXIV a few times, and while I love the atmosphere, the story, the crafting, the music, and everything else... the combat is just so boring and repetitive I may as well be watching paint dry (highest I ever got was a level 30 Monk, did the normal mode of Titan, so maybe it gets better later on).

  • I tried games like TERA / BnS, but while it's flashy and fun to look at, it's incredibly repetitive and simplistic, and there really isn't any challenging content.

  • I tried BDO and AA, but sandboxes just get boring. And with a focus on PvP, it drives raiders like me away.

I know it doesn't exist, but I'd love a game with WoW's lore depth, GW2's combat, Wildstar's personality and art style, FFXIV / Mabinogi crafting, a music system like GW2 or Mabinogi, good raids, and defined roles (GW2 has raids, but the lack of a trinity makes mechanics really dull).

Anyway, what's an MMO that's actually enjoyable to play anymore? I need combat that's not braindead, a good story to follow, good raiding, and a healthy enough population to actually do content. And please don't tell me to go play some game on Steam, because console games only last me like 2-3 days before I beat them. I need something that will last for at least a year, hopefully more.

Warcraft 3 - but years ago when the custom maps and new game genres were coming out all the time. Now it's pretty quiet, very different atmosphere. Wouldn't even put it in the list at this point, although the campaign is good and there are still custom maps out on Battle.net if you are willing to wait.

Not quite there but close:

Prison Architect (Fun for the first 40 hours or so, with replay value from time to time)

Minecraft (Can be fun for the first few hundred hours to most people)

Team Fortress 2 (Light hearted FPS)

Stardew Valley - Make sure you have uninterrupted time for this one. This seems to be a game that is fun until you can't play it for a few weeks cause life, then you stop.

Invest in a Xbox and just buy good games, play em through, move on to the next one. That's what I used to and do when I'm not playing League, slowly going through FF XV atm.

I also got FF VII-X on my PSV I go back and play a lot.
