Video Game addiction thread.

Lol at people saying they play the game of "life" acting like they are better than everybody else and that people who play games have no life, no relationships, no job, nothing outside of video games.

The same people spend countless hours sitting in front if a TV watching reality TV shows or other nonsense.


You're not the Dos Equis dude.
I didn't imply that at all. I implied a joke and didn't add that Kappa tag . To me gaming is an activity you do to relax like reading a book and watching tv.

A prop on the stage of life.
I'm actually playing this game called life

Dark Souls used to be my main squeeze. Then the bill of goods that was its sequel came out.

Now I really don't play much. Take one game at a time, with the last two being Shadow of Mordor and Tales of Xilla 2. Still working on Mordor though.
 
I play borderlands 2 or Yu-Gi-Oh MD's at least once a day, nothing is more satisfying than sending scrublords to the shadow realm.
 
I've recently started playing Final Fantasy 7 a lot. But I play Injustice every day still.

I need a new JRPG to get hooked on.
If you can handle the "retro", go for Final Fantasy 6 and Breath of fire 3. Both truly epic.

EDIT:
I was never into video games so much. My addiction was always MK of course and I can spend shitloads of time without feeling guilty about it.
I remember wasting the previous winter in GTA online though…. A thing which I heavily regret. That was a real life waste.
GTA online is extremely retarded.

I like animal crossing and harvest moon on the DS. Sometimes I play while waiting in line in koth or searching for an online opponent. Gameception.

i'll give it a look....tho seriously dynasty warriors is super repetative and mindless x-x, i wish they would make a Fist of the North star game that WASNT pretty much a clone of that :/
It's gotten a lot better over the years. But Warriors Orochi specifically has a lot more depth and variety.

WO3U has 145 playable characters, with every character having a unique move set and super (Musou). You always have 3 characters when battling, and can cycle between them or even have them all fighting at once. You can combo between them as well. Pop up an enemy with one character, then cancel into character switch which brings out the character with a unique move to continue the combo. There's a new button too, R1, which is basically an EX attack for each character. It uses a part of your super meter, and each characters is unique and they all have a grounded one and an air one.

There's a level up feature as well, along with equipable items and weapons. The max level is 100, but after you get to 100, you get 2 more slots for items and have the choice to "promote" the character. This is like prestige mode in CoD. The character goes back to 1, but gains an additional ability. They also now have attribute points you can distribute when they level up. It gives the game a lot of replay value.

Not to mention the weapons system. You have 5 levels of weapons. 1star, 2star, 3star, 4star and the 5th star Mystical Weapons. There's also true 4 star weapons that you synthesize, aka create with materials. Each weapon can have 8 different abilities attached to it, and there's a wide variety to choose from. Such as adding bolt damage, or adding osmosis which makes it to where all your charge attacks build meter.

It's definitely not boring and repetitive like the old Dynasty Warriors. There's a lot more depth and a lot more characters to choose from. Not to mention the story lines are great and vast.

Try Golden sun, it was on old 2d JRPG for the gameboy advance that was recently re-released on the Nintendo virtual console store. I think its one of the best games in that genre.

Already played them.

Played that one as well.

I don't think there are too many JRPGs (that are well known, anyway) that I have yet to play. I'm basically waiting for a new one to come out on the PS3/360 or the PS4/One for when I get one.

Hey guys! I'm sure we're all addicted and gripped by a game right now or there's one we play almost every day along with other games.
I'm sure alot of you will say Mortal Kombat or Injustice, however is there more that grips you or something else you don't spend a day without playing?
Thought this would be fun to see what y'all play along side the reason we're here.
... So what games are you currently addicted to playing!?


I'm currently playing Hyrule Warriors alot!
Also I probably don't go many days without playing League of legends.
Loving Hyrule Warriors more then i should as i hate Dynasty Warroirs heh. Hey at least i didn't see I am addicted to facebook games like Farmville. Thats not a game IMO :p

Civilization 5 may be the most addicting game I've ever played. It actually is a new experience every match and it has a very awesome modding community adding awesome stuff everyday. Can't wait for Beyond Earth.

Even though I don't have time to play them, I'm hopelessly addicted to both WoW and D3. It's like crack to me when I play either of them.

I don't get the addiction with Skyrim, it was okay at best, sure there's alot to do and for PC players they mod it i guess?
But the combat was ass lol Press right trigger and flail a sword around, It may have been okay for Oblivion but Skyrim came out when the tech was better.
