Now, Dark Souls is a fantastic game for the most part, I will never say otherwise. Anyone who likes that kind of game should play it, and I blame no one for enjoying it, not even the aggressive fans. But it's not my favorite game at all, and there are many other games I enjoy and play as much or more.
But Dark Souls has a hook in me somehow, one that I can't even see. Any time I stop playing it to get into another game, after a few days I feel it tugging at me. Even when I don't want to play it anymore, I want to play it some more. No other game does this to me. I can only imagine this is what heroin addicts feel like.
Maybe it's because there is really no other game quite like it that I've played, but for some reason I keep coming back for more Dark Souls. I even find myself thinking about it a lot, and I'm always excited to talk about it with anyone, from fellow fans to vehement haters. It's a weird relationship I have with that game.
So, can anyone else explain what I'm feeling here? You all must have a game that keeps dragging you back, even against your will. What is this phenomenon?
