You know a game's awesome when...

[soren7550]

- When even though you've gone through/broken/utterly destroyed two systems, at least 3 different controllers, numerous battery packs and headsets and anything in the surrounding area, you still play the 'broken, shitty ass piece of shit' for hours on end. (that's my psycho brother for you)

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

...When you play until the absolute last moment before your forced to go to bed, then sneak and play it when your parents are asleep.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

When you're desperately trying to keep your eyes open to play longer, as they will themselves closed and you to sleep...

 

[Vrex360]

When after a long session of playing the game, you go to sleep and dream happily that you are still playing it.

 

[AstylahAthrys]

When you play it for hours, finally decide to quit, then only a few minutes later turn it back on. This has been happening to me such much lately.

 

[The_Deleted]

When you're convinced it would be OK to do it in real life.

Looking at you GTA III...

 

[Pyroco101]

... when you can simulate an entire session in your head by pure thought.

Lookin at you, Tetris

 

[Darkrain11]

When you are walking down the street and you swear you just heard a music score signaling an incoming horde. Thank you L4D.

 

[Nouw]

Still think about the game afterwards and write Fan-Fic (good ones!) about it.

 

[SpireOfFire]

when you wish time would slow down so you could enjoy the game longer.

it has Bioware written on the box

Not all bioware games are great, Jade Empire for example.

You're kidding right? Jade Empire kicked ass, ok it isn't as good as KotOR, Mass Effect and Dragon Age but it was still a hell of a lot better than most of the stuff from back then and it had a really good story with a great twist.

 

[Continuity]

Well, I finished it, but I've never felt compelled to go back and play it again. The hallmark of a good RPG is that you go back and play it over , and over, and over.
I'd say Jade Empire is barely an RPG even, its more like a hack'n slash with a fairly flat plot... Great voice acting though, at least in quantity if nothing else.

 

[Nixzilla]

when you beat a 40 hour game in 40 hours

 

[Calum_M]

When you borrow it from a friend, keep it for several years, and once they realise that you still have it and demand it back, you immediately buy it.

I did this with several games in the PS1/Early PS2 era.

 

[SnowdensOfYesteryear]

it has Bioware written on the box

Eh. NWN2 kinda sucked.

 

[gostchiken]

... When you literally jump at your own shadow(Comdemned Criminal Origins)

 

[CloudKiller]

it has Bioware written on the box

Eh. NWN2 kinda sucked.

That game was made by Obsidian not Bioware

 

[Mozza444]

...When your tempted to collect Bottle Caps off of the floor.
I'm looking at you Fallout...

 

[Zetsubou-Sama]

... when your finals are around the corner, but you can't stop
