Games that took over your life

[TMAN10112]

Has a game ever compleatly taken over your life at one point? if so what game was it? as for me it was oblivion which i had gotten during winter vacation and spent all my spare time playing for about 2 weeks straight. i didn't stop playing until i had beaten the main story,reached the top of all the guilds, and compleated almost all the quests in the game. no game has kept me that ocupied since.

May as well make a poll choice saying "I'm here for WoW" >_>

Also, Supreme Commander and SoaSE were pretty close to taking over my life since games took so long to finish.

WoWcrack, took over my life kicked me about and forced me to do its bidding for two months.

KOTOR 1&2- More enjoyable taking over my life game.

There are several throughout my life thus far:

Tetris
Star Ocean
FF7
FF9
FF10

...i tend to get wrapped up in storylines ...

i have to say MGS4 has taken over...and i just started playing Shaiya. -_- MMOs...*sigh*
I have no problem staying inside during the summer thanks to these 2.

 

[Calobi]

WoW and TF2.

 

[Eyclonus]

Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines.
I guess about a third of the time it consumed was rebooting it or waiting for it to load a new area.

 

[Shadow Tyrant]

Fable: TLC. God knows how many times I replayed that game just to make different character types. I even played through it once trying to not have any scars on my character. Which is pretty impossible unless you don't ever get hit.

It'll probably be worse when Fable II comes out. I don't know how much I'll like that dog constantly following me around, though.


Also, everyone's been addicted to Pokemon at least once in their life.

Yes, Pokemon did suck my soul for a long time...

As for other games, I'd have to say GTA3/4, FFX, KH1/2, and The Orange Box.

 

[Fire Daemon]

The Ocarina of Time, the Oracle of Ages/Seasons and The Majora's Mask. Pokemon Crystal had me for a long time.

 

[Copter400]

Oblivion. It's still one of the biggest shareholders of my soul.

 

[T360]

oh man lets see theres been a few:
KOTOR
Mass effect
wwe smackdown vs raw
GTA san anderas
GTA 4

Agreed. Also, Advance Wars for me. The original Advance Wars, before it got shitty and grimdark.

 

[Daymo]

ff12 has been the main life stealer for me, for about a month it was the only game i played.

 

[The Wooster]

I thought Days of Ruin had a really good thing going on.

I'd say. Ico.

 

[Wulf Legend]

Pokemon still has a place in my heart :]

RuneScape took up a big portion of my life. It's rather sad, because it literally was my life. From 7th to the beginning of 10th grade and last summer (I'm going to be a senior now).

 

[Ultrajoe]

Pokemon, hands down.

 

[Hey Joe]

The Sims 2 came out during my TEE.

Hence, I did not study for one exam. Yet, I was still able to get into uni. GO CRAPPY ADMISSION STANDARDS!

 

[T.H.O.R]

FFXI...the first time I played it.


Account long since sold and rid of... Sometimes I hear the distant call, but I burn it away with happier days.
