The last game you were obsessed with?

4273 Views 79 Posts Social
Due to work commitments and other things I barely get a chance to enjoy a game for more than 30 minutes. As we all know that's not enough time to really sink your teeth into a game.
However on occasion I might find a game that I just can't put down, a game that I'll keep playing regardless of how much work and responsibilities keep piling up around me. It doesn't happen often but when it does I love it, it just pulls me out of that slump of "non-gaming" and makes me remember why I spend a small fortune of consoles, accessories and a custom PC for gaming.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that's stuck in this situation, we all get older and other things unfortunately take priority.

So what was the last game that you just couldn't put down?


For me right now it's Deus Ex Human Revolution, I've had the game since launch and played it for a few minutes and left it alone. Last weekend I got back into it, took me about an hour to get my grove back for that game and now I'm obsessed with completing it. Before that it was Skyward Sword (that's been put on the back burner for now.
Skyward Sword maybe, I finished it (55 hours) in a bit over a week but I've barely touched it since.
Before that was Xenoblade, put in 100 hours or so, and I need to go back to it.
OoT Master Quest and Wind Waker for gamecube. also MGS2 and 3 which were really good.
I played a crap load of Skyrim when it came out. I was also horribly addicted to Pokemon Black and White
Starcraft 2
MW2
Fallout 3
CoD 4
Mario Kart Wii
Persona 3, Weiss schwarz portable, dewprisim, katawa shoujo, monstergirl quest.
FarCry is the last game i remember being really hooked on and Painkiller, by hooked on, i mean i MADE time for it, everything since, i just play to waste time.
I usually am obsessed with any game and commit to playing it as much as I can until I finish it now if I like it due to having alot of free time, but the last one would probably be Skyward Sword. I played that non-stop for about a week, lost alot of sleep over it.
Skyrim, bit late to the game only started last Thursday.

But I'm on 33 hours so far.
God Of War 3 i took a week off work and turned off my phone so i could play this bad boy
fallout 3 goty had me by the balls for months and months on end ....new vegas was good but didnt have the same captivation as 3 for me.
zelda skyward sword ^_^
3DS: Definitely Mario Kart 7. Probably the most I've played a Mario Kart game. It also won me a 3DS game from MMGN and I also won an offline tournament ^_^

PS3: Rock Band 3. With all it's DLC, it's hard to stop playing.

Wii: Skyward Sword. Like Blobo, I finished it within a week or two, it was just so hard to put it down =_=

Now: Xenoblade Chronicles, I now know why there was so much hype in America for this game (and they still haven't got it yet hehe) :P
Fallout 3/New Vegas. Easily 300-400 hours combined across two platforms.
Lord of the Rings: Battle For MIddle Earth II
Ultimate Mortal Kombat
Skyrim, and before that it was Fallout 3.
Portal ate my brain entirely until I beat it, I don't think that's ever happened before or since. Probably helps that I had knee surgery and couldn't do much else at the time.
Saints Row the Third was the last game I was obsessed with.
Now it's Kingdom of Amalur

McQueen said: Lord of the Rings: Battle For MIddle Earth II
Ultimate Mortal Kombat


Holy shit, someone else actually plays BFME?? I was pretty obsessed with that mid last year.
Weib Schwarz Portable
Saints Row the third Finished it in a week but before was Red Dead, finished the main story in a day.
Skate 3 the amount times I finished then played it over again.
Metal Gear Online...Too bad they're shutting it down.
Red dead redemption and Dark souls, every waking moment for weeks on end.
Demon Souls probably. Just couldnt stop playing it, even with all the fruatration and failure.
League of Legends
