Title: How often do you play games?
Post by: Littlefoot1616 on January 26, 2011, 05:44:32 PM: Hey gamers!

Yeah I know you've probably heard this question a million times before but hey, we're all for nostalgia right? :p

So truthfully, how often do you play video games. By "play video games" I'm talking about a good few hours say 2-3hrs+ in a sitting. Just a matter of curiosity is all. Also, if you so wish, add why you play as frequently (or not) as you do. What do games do for you? Destress? Escapism? Bored? Like the challenge? No other hobbies? Just plain lazy?

It'll be interesting to hear the different avenues we all use games for so let's hear it.

Fire away (and no teabagging :lol :DD )

Admittingly, I dont have the time to grab all the trophy challenges so despite my earlier decrees to complete a game 100%, I'm started to become satisfied with just clearing the game. Still on a difficulty setting no lower than normal of course ;)

Post by: Littlefoot Fan on January 27, 2011, 10:35:43 PM: I'd say a few days a week I really sit down with a game and play it for a while. Actually, that's not really accurate at all, because it's so random. I could go weeks straight without ever touching a game. It just depends on if I'm in the mood, what games I'm currently into, and if I have nothing better to do. Also the best games to me are the ones that you can play cooperatively with your friends. If my friends had more time to devote to multiplayer games, I would definitely play more often. There's really nothing quite like teaming up with your friends against enemies and taking them down.

Post by: Malte279 on April 08, 2011, 11:36:01 AM: It is kind of unconstant on my end. If I got a new game that I like or am under the influence of a temporarrily refound enthusiasm for an old game I am likely to play daily for a while and temporarrily more than is probably good. However, most of the time I lack this enthusiasm with most games being very similar to each other with little new to be found among them. So relatively long times may pass without me playing any game whatsoever at all.

Post by: The Friendly Sharptooth on August 19, 2011, 03:39:56 PM: I have not touched a console game in a long time, thanks to an old friend getting me to the incredible World of Warcraft. Though I also played console games for a bit after beginning WoW, due to the engrossing nature of this MMORPG, console games have just about completely lost their luster for me at this point. I can play with tons of other people, type and voice chat, make lasting friends, play with my own style, and much more. I put in about, oh, I’d say five to six hours of WoW a day. It used to be about eight to nine hours a day, but the overwhelming excitement at first has dwindled to mostly an unrelenting addiction. I have all ten classes, all at level eighty-five, most of them geared enough to queue for heroics, and I have over seventy days of play time on my death knight alone. I guess WoW is just a comforting (or stressful) vacation from real life, and with by far not the best life, I take vacations rather often.

Post by: Petrie85 on August 26, 2011, 07:35:30 PM: It's odd to me. Even tho I have emulators and a rom site open I still don't touch them often.

Post by: The Dark Patriot on August 26, 2011, 10:05:34 PM: Pretty much every day for me. If I'm at home and awake, I'm usually playing some sort of video game - Mostly EVE Online on the PC, and various shooters on my 360. I find making stuff explode to be quite relaxing after a day in the bakery :D
