Lee3dee Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Took a break this weekend from working on the game. Looking through my library of games and noticed that I had alot that I hadn't beaten yet. hehe. Popped in Beyond Good and Evil at 7pm, couldn't find my save game so I started again, 3:36am later, OMG where did the time go. LOL. When I first bought BGE i played it for a few days at a time, then bought a new game and thought i would come back to it. WOW! very engrossing storyline and the racing is awesome! Some games are so engrossing that time seems to get lost in the void of time. Final Fantasy 7, Jade Empire, Sly Copper 1, Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime, Zelda, to name a few Anyone else experience this time void when they played a game? Quote
patriot Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Yepp some games do that to you, BGE is great. Some others I love are Silent Hill 2, AVP2 & Max Payne. Personally I find the singleplayer games do this most for you, when games aren't played divided into matches, they have a different kind of addiction. Not to mention MMORPG's, they are way worse.

Lee3dee Posted September 5, 2005 Author Report Posted September 5, 2005 Final Fantasy XI Online wasn't as bad, World of Warcraft 14 trial did. hehe Quote
Kosmo Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Well, the latest game to eat all my time was Riddick, before that I think Dungeon Siege, there is something elusive beating up mobs and collecting gear, ofcourse Diablos are dirty ones too, took alot of my life away. But the absolute crazy on time consumption might be Tie Fighter, I can't imagine that I have played any game so much, I just flew all the time. Ofcourse, MMORPGs like WoW, Planetside and Neocron have eaten good few years off of my life. And all the clan activity on some internet games, NS, Gloom and DoD being the main culprits. Quote
Mazy Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Civilization is the undefeated champion for me. Quote
KoKo5oVaR Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Fallout damnit, i've played it 7 or 8 hours in one straight line and after that, it was finished Quote
GrayFox Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Final Fantasy series, MGS series, Zelda series. Countless hours "lost". Quote

Evert Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Zelda and Metroid Prime are the ones that comes to mind atm. Esp. Ocarina of time. Quote
Alf-Life Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Spider-Man 2. And pretty much any FPS, RTS or God Game. Quote
h2 Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Hereos of might and magic2, desperados, commandos and gta series. Quote
KungFuSquirrel Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 King's Quest V and VI. Lost entire summers to those games! Also, my friends and I had a lan party shortly after TFC was released. We tried it on a whim one night at about 11 or midnight. It was daylight before we stopped. That was just on the hunted map, too. BG&E was right up there... WoW, sections of Psychonauts (Goggalor and the Milkman, mainly). And Half-Life 2 as well; I hammered through that in just a couple sittings the day it shipped. Couldn't stay away! Quote
TomWithTheWeather Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 My biggest time wasters in the past have probably been WoW, Morrowind, Zelda, UT2k4, Doom2, with the worst of those being Morrowind and WoW. I swear those games are like crack. Quote
Skjalg Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Heroes Of Might And Magic II and III (+ expansions) Transport Tycoon Deluxe Settlers II Gold and III + Quest of the Amazons Half-Life 1 and 2 Counter-Strike :/ Warcraft I, II and III Diablo I and II (with expansions) StarCraft & Broodwar World of Warcraft :/ :/ = I look back on those days as lost time. Absolutely nothing gained. Quote
Tequila Posted September 5, 2005 Report Posted September 5, 2005 Operation Flashpoint I'd play about 12 hours a day during holidays. Sometimes up to 18 hours. I really did get lost in it. Quote
