Worst game addiction?

[Vanguard_Ex]

Chances are, you've come across a game that's so awesome and grounbreaking in your eyes, you forgo food and water and forget the outside world. Let's all share, shall we?
My two would probably be Diablo II and World of Warcraft...damn you, Blizzard. Also, I know this doesn't really count as mine, but a friend of mine got so addicted to Diablo he actually got insomnia...like, medical insomnia.

I'm not addicted to one game, but when I buy a new one, especially if I've been looking forward to playing it, I must finish it. All else comes second until then.

Final Fantasy VII and World of Warcraft.. Although I've kicked my WoW addiction!

Although I've kicked my WoW addiction!

Same!!!

Learning new abilities.

I don't have to use them, I just want to know them.

FFTA2 is a great way to exercise this habit. It'll force you to spend about 3-5 minutes before every match making sure everyone has what they need.

i would have to say SMT: nocturne, SMT: persona 3 and a short period of counter-strike when i was actually good at it lol.

Oblivion... All those weeks! Why God! Why!!!

Same!!!

I too have kicked my WoW addiction as of the beginning of the summer break.
But I think my next addiction will be Too Human or The Force Unleashed

Patapon and Meteos. Patapon just amazed me to no end, a rhythm game (which I usually hate) mixed with an RTS (which I always love) and incredibly cute but violent creatures. Meteos was just Tetris sped up really fast, and when I closed my eyes I could see the game screen and play it in my head.

[Aginor27]

i guess i was addicted to WoW for one summer, but i barely play it now. considering ending my account.

 

[sirdiealot88]

It would have to be Runescape or Pokemon Yellow. After playing Pokemon for so long, I couldn't sleep because the music kept playing in my head.

 

[1-800-STFU]

Not even close it was Xenogears. That took 3-5 hours of my day every day for like a week.

 

[Loafers]

Xenosaga? We're talking about game addictions, not movies

I prefer Xenogears, the much much better one.

 

[1-800-STFU]

I actually ment to put Gears....

Oops.....

Edit time

Xenosaga 1 was awesome then they fucked it up.

 

[Humanfishboy]

I WAS addicted World of Warcraft.

I still play it, but not nearly so much. I do other stuff with my life too now <=D

 

[Cid Silverwing]

I never had this sort of addiction, and I never will have either. The only kind of addiction I do get however is when I play only a single game for extended periods and not getting off until I've cleared it (singleplayer) more than 5 times.

This happened with:

Devil May Cry 1 and 3
Resident Evil 4
Metal Gear Solid 4
WoW (I played it for extended periods but it's really been slow lately)
Oblivion

 

[meatloaf231]

Civilization 4.

Just one more turn syndrome.

 

[Aerach]

Runescape (I was young, don't judge me), Everquest and Diablo 2.

That is so true I'm exactly the same...
