Forums - Gaming - have you ever been seriously addicted to a game?

I used to be seriously addicted to burnout 3. I played over 400 hours of that game. I still play burnout 3 sometimes mainly for the party crash mode.

I get easily addicted to MMOs.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that it was with the expansion.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

I have the most epic death scene ever in VGChartz Mafia.  Thanks WordsofWisdom! 

For me it was the original Buldar's Gate (PC). That was awful, for months on end every day it'd be like 'Okay, I'm just going to play for 1/2 an hour.' next thing you know it's 4am. I lost so much sleep with that game it was ridiculous.

Currently I'm finding Fire Emblem:Radiant Dawn pretty addictive too. Playing it every chance I get.

I got addicted to MGS3:Subsistence. In a little less than a year i had put about 1,000 hours into the online mode, beat the single player game a half dozen times, and gotten most of the high scores on the boss battle theater and Snake v. Monkey mode :P



Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League

That and Flaming hot Cheeto fries. Yummy. lol

Mine was FFXI ; ; I played for about 3 years, Got BLM to level 70, didn't do any endgame stuff (I'm a really slow leveler ok >.>) but then I ended up getting bored. I didn't really wanna have to completely commit to endgame stuff, and leveling definitely isn't as fun at high levels, specially when you can't get a party very easily >.> OH! I beat Maat though. I was pretty happy about that. (So if I ever wanted to go back I wouldn't have to do that >.>)

I think I'll always be addicted to Earthbound though, I'll still go back and play that even when I have new games to play.

P.S. What server were you on Twesterm? I was on Remora^^;


I was on Alexander and on one of the best NA linkshells in the server. I met the leaders in the Maze when we were all first starting and just stayed friends with them from then until I finally quit for good.

And yeah, definitely know about what you're talking about where leveling can get a little tedious.  Luckily not a lot of people know how to play SMN well so that gave me the excuse to try a lot of different play styles and have a lot of fun with the job.  It was a lot of fun when I hit 70 and started doing all SMN parties or being invited to normal parties as a damage dealer.   



Super Smash Brawl (before release)
I had fun with it for a couple months. I thought I could never stop willingly.
Fortounatly, Mario Kart Wii helped me escape my bad habit.........



Not so addicted that I didn't want to do anything else

And yes, addiced if you mean that you play it loads and loads
