The ultimate "Just one more turn..." game.

[The Diabolical Biz]

Always Pokemon. Especially when I'm training new Pokemon for my team on a Wednesday evening (due to the little 'Pokemon Thursday' tradition I have going at my school).

Just a couple more levels...then I'll go to sleep. It's not like I have an essay or two due tomorrow or anything...

OK, seeing as I've just started playing Assassin's Creed for the first time and I was going to bed 2 and a half hours ago I would say that. I also have a problem with Civilization and Batman Arkham Asylum/City. I guess I got a problem saying no in general... I guess that last statement deserves a "That's what SHE said!"...

I think the phrase "just one more turn" comes from the civilization series.

My first time playing Civ 1, I got sucked in for 4 hours, which was an unprecedented length of time for me to be glued to a game in those days (MS DOS), when an NES would overheat after ~2 hours of continual play.

Civilization 2 and Alpha Centauri were amazing games for their time. Civilization IV is the pinnacle of the series so far, although Alpha Centauri is still the best in some ways if your a fan of science fiction.

League of Legends.

Just one more game... then I'll get started on my paper...

 

[Ninjafire72]

Persona 3, where the best bits of turn-based combat and dating sim come together to create one powerful addiction...

 

[warhammerfrog]

as many have said before and will say again CIV 5 and any total war game.

 

[El Dwarfio]

The Total War series, it can get really bad for me, like staying up until 4-5AM, just taking yet another turn, vowing to stop after that.

Yeah definitely Rome Total War for me. You say one more turn, but then the enemy does something that you have to respond to absolutely right now and then you have missed all your lectures and the shops are shut so you can't buy food so you might as well just keep playing.

Also I downloaded Kerbal Space Program last night and spent several hours saying 'just one more rocket...'

Sims 3 does this to me if im not careful, since theres no real break in the flow with the families I set up and the constant wishes and goals, I end up thinking:

"one more wish, one more day, one more week, better get thier moods up before I leave, oh look more wishes well I might as well...."

and on and on and on!

 

[zumbledum]

SMAC

Sid Meirs Alpha Centauri.

nothing comes close imo , though sword of the stars can keep me up past my bedtime to.

 

[Meestor Pickle]

Rome Total War, always something that changes and needs to be dealt with

 

[lRookiel]

Oh lets see here, well Skyrim is a huge contender here.

"Well that's those giants killed, time for bed."
"Oh wait there's a tower over there"

Several hours later

"Hmmmm, I have a serious problem"

:3

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

The Final Fantasy Tactics games... but for so many different reasons... either:

• 'Just one more mission, this one sounds short'
  or
  'one more mission will probably get me that ability, then I can change characters equipment/job and i'll be happy'
  or finally
  'I don't like leaving the game with a dispatched character... time to run around aimlessly until s/he returns... wait is that a random battle...? I love those!'

I always forget how long even the short fights can take! Especially in the Advance and A2 games where you could end up with a sucky law that makes everything last longer as you have to keep checking what you're doing!!

Then again my self control, especially before bed, is terrible... everything with a save point will make me carry on exploring around that savepoint after... sometimes I get lost exploring and before I know it am at the next savepoint/boss/event!

 

[p3t3r]

Sounds like yugioh to me XD.

not with my final countdown deck then it is just 20 more turns!!

hahah

 

[Fiz_The_Toaster]

Diablo II and Borderlands did this to me constantly. I have learned that if my insomnia is around and bothering me I should never play those games since it normally turns out to be something like this, "Oh one more......*yawns*....God about time, what time is it any-WHAT?! I work in 3 hours!"

Any new pokemon game, and Skyrim as of late has done this to me.

 

[KiloFox]

I was like this with the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games. Just one more dungeon... wait, it's WHAT time?!

Ah, yes. How many playthroughs of Red Rescue Team have I done? I lost count. Speaking of that generation of Nintendo games, how about Sonic Adventure 2: Battle and Phantasy Star Online: Episodes 1&2 both for the GameCube? The latter is, in my opinion, absolutely addicting (even though I only play offline with my siblings) and you get to raise Chao [http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k199/solareala/neutral_chao_garden-1.jpg] in the former.

Speaking of which, my younger sister and I have been trying to breed a generational line into all-S graded Chao, and I need to figure out the best course of action for inter-breeding the five chao I have in the current generation. I'm thinking about keeping the three choicest offspring of the lot. It's really handy that Chao have no set gender and don't care about inbreeding, like at all. As a matter of fact, that can result in genetic superiority, as Chao are likely to take the better grades of both parents, and then you take two children and wow, what am I doing with my time?

Eh, everyone's got to have something, I suppose.

y'know PSO has a PC port with online play and extra content? it's still up and running on the Schthack servers. (i played it a ton on my GameCube too XD)

 

[DeltaEdge]

Super Smash Bros. most definitely when I am playing with other people. When you are taking turns doing solo matches and you just wanna have one more turn..

 

[ThePS1Fan]

For me it's Dead Rising 2 and just one more paddle saw or chainsaw equipped motorcycle.
