Video-Game Addictiveness

Kestral · Post by **Kestral** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:34 am

We've all been addicted to a game once. I mean really addicted. I mean to the point in which we cannot stop playing and want more of an expanded experience.

I've been addicted to Fable, and Oblivion.

Oblivion, real badly.

A friend let me borrow it. Let's just say, our friendship REALLY got tense. It was me evading him to keep Oblivion, I was so hooked. I was also [&@%!] when he took it.

He then gave it back. I had it till yesterday. Then he took it, now I feel bad. But, hey, I still have it for the PC!

People have claimed that I am addicted to my X-box but I just don't see it.

I have been addicted to:

Oblivion
Assassins Creed
Banjo Kazooie/Tooie
Wii Sports (To the point where I couldn't take my arms out of the boxing postion without horrible pain

)
Icewind Dale
LOZ: Twilight Princess
and much, MUCH more

...

What? I'm a reader/drawer/gamer, not a sportsman

Halo 3 and Oblivion have only been my true obsession. I love other games, but haven't played many for as long as these two.

A lot of my mates are addicted to WoW, the only reason I don't play is because I just know I would get addicted... and probably lose my life like a few of them have

Only three.

World of Warcraft
Diablo 2
Oblivion

My Diablo addiction was actually FAR worse than my WoW addiction. Oblivion was manageable, but still an addiction.

Personally, to throw people off, i joke I'm addicted to the game I'm currently playing. They never comeback with a response.

Trust me, if I said what I thought about WoW, it would turn into a page long rant

The Dog Whisperer · Post by **The Dog Whisperer** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 2:24 pm

I've been addicted to DarkSwords for 20 months now (I've been keeping count

), had temporary addictions to other games for maybe 2 months max, but this is the longest running one.
It's a 'Free' MMORPG, but keeping it free is getting harder and harder..

I was pretty addicted to FFX before, got obsessed with the dark Aeons.

Valus · Post by **Valus** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 3:30 pm

I've been addicted to GTA IV for a few months and my 360 in general for a few years. Which is why I almost went insane when I remembered that there's no Xbox Live today because of maintenance or something.

matt314hew · Post by **matt314hew** » Tue Jun 16, 2009 5:47 pm

I was addicted to GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas. I am now addicted to NHL 2009. Especially the BAP mode.

Perhaps I'll buy Mass Effect after I got my new computer

. How good is it?

Coulsonji · Post by **Coulsonji** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 6:49 am

I got more addicted to Mass Effect than Fallout 3, I'm not really sure why.

But Mass Effect is one of the best games I have ever played, and also you have to play it because Mass Effect 2 is coming. And Bioware has said that you can keep your save from the first game!

Get Mass Effect Josjie

Leilah · Post by **Leilah** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 8:22 am

I am/have been addicted to:

Oblivion
Morrowind
Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3
Star Wars KOTOR and KOTOR 2
Star Craft and Brood Wars
AOE 3
Settlers

Um, I have an addictive personality. The only way I become cured of one game addiction is by replacing it with a new game.

Dragour · Post by **Dragour** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 9:08 pm

Well although I do get addicted to games, it's usualy one at a time until I pass that game, then from then on although I am no longer obsessed with it I still go back to it.

At the 'moment' the game(s) I am playing until mastered are FFXII and soon maybe FFV

Burrito · Post by **Burrito** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 2:40 am

World of Warcraft, man I thought there was no way I could get addicted to this game but oh my god within the first 15 minutes I couldn't stop playing. It's like crack in a beautifully packaged container. Oblivion on the other hand I hated it the first time I played it, I was like [&@%!] this this is so boring, but a month later I have it another go and I got addicted to it when I joined the dark brotherhood, man I got addicted so quick.

Good answer! I grew up playing the original civ game. Man ill never forget countless hours staying up late getting mad because the zulus just had to be stopped!

My favorite all time civilization game was civ 2 gold edition. That game goes in my top 3 best games of all time ever, ever list. Well, most likely. Thats one of the few games i installed on my new pc.

Vorfeed · Post by **Vorfeed** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 3:01 am

The Disgaea series. The combined hours of all three games I've played is over 3000. The reason is your character can get up to level 9999 with over a billion HP and stats you can't even begin to imagine.
