What games get you zoned in for hours? Multiplayer or Campaign or whatever else there is. Just curious. Need some new games to play. I own Battlefield bad company 2, Killzone 3, Modern Warfare 2 and I just beat La Noire. La Noire was the only game I found myself playing on my downtime.


Just curious. When you play a game, do you go for every trophy or do you just play through the game?

Only one for me was lost planet 2, 220 hours in single player, over 100 in multi-player, I since quit so I can actually clear some games... Next up I guess are killzone 3 and red dead redemption, killzone is fun to get into while red dead...nothing like making a possee and taking on the cops XD And as for trophies, I do though there are exceptions, whether it be difficult odds (I cant beat an fps without checkpoints...damn avp!) or I require a boost (red dead is missing 4 trophies from 100%...) are some common issues. I do aim to go back for some, vanquish, resident evil 5, mk vs dc...I'll plat those, one day XD

Im addiccted to Fallout at the moment. I got Fallout 3, platinumed it (took me 50 hours) and then immediatley got Fallout: New Vegas, which im about to platinum. Not really hard to guess that i like trophies. I think they add to the overall experience, but im not a completionist. I do like to keep every game on my list above 30% and i consider myself a trophy hunter though.

I played through Mass Effect 2, 4 times in about 7 months, The average time on each file is over 20 hours and it usually only takes a couple of days. Now I'm on my 5th playthrough and it will last over 20 hours as well.

I use to be a COD addict but had to break the habbit. I sold MW2 so I could quit playing. I put 50 days into the multiplayer. Recently I've been playing
Dragon Age 2.

I can play all of my games hours on end. No particular game, the 39 games collection are all great games except for Flow.

Isometimes look at the trophies to se whether there might be fun stuff that I can do that I haven't thought of. Other than that I don't care. I've played NHL 11 a fair few hours and I have 1% of the trophies. Obviously I'm not playing the game the way they want you to. I think that's funny :)

Assassins Creed, Gears of War, Pokemon, and Call of Duty. I like other games as much, or close to as much as these. I just can't play them for as long in one sitting. I don't care about trophies. If I get them, great. But I don't play a game just to get them.

Red Dead Redemption. Oh lord, I invested so much of my time into that game.

Also Mass Effect 2, inFAMOUS 2, NHL11 (JUST ONE MORE GAME).

On my first playthrough, if I get really attached to the story, I couldn't care less about trophies. Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2, BioShock, really, I get involved. But with a game like Just Cause 2 or LBP, where story comes second, I tend to go for trophies

Pretty much every RPG you can think of, and Uncharted 2.

I am hooked on AC Brootherhood. I have spent hours playing that game. I don't go for trophies I just like to play the game. The mutilplayer is good also. I just more people were playing it though.

Fallout 3 can keep me going for weeks. There is so much to do, and the trophies aren't fun to get.

Hmmm... I think I may be developing ADD or something because I get bored of things pretty quickly now. things that would have probably sucked me in a few years ago can only keep me entertained for a couple of hours tops now e.g. I've been playing Red Dead Redemption and Fallout 3 and after a while I stop doing quests and just go on a killing spree. After that I won't come back to them for a week or so.

The last game that really sucked me in was Dragon Age: Origins. One Saturday morning I got up and played it all day (I also ploughed through a lot of rum... but that's beside the point).

Online shooters can keep me hooked for a while as well unless I'm playing like a retard then I get fed up and turn it off (and go and sulk somewhere).

Disgaea 3, but I doubt you'll enjoy it, you seem to be a FPS fan, probably any CoD or BF

Is there a good online community? I played all AC games on my 360. I plan on doing the same on my PS3 and starting with ACB. Multiplayer is too much fun. Only thing I hated was that it was hard to find matches on xbox live. Wondering if it's the same for the PSN.

Warhawk has me completely zoned in. I've stayed up until 11:00 once playing it. It's excellent, the only problem is there are a few stalkers (Mostly the UFO* clan, SPECIFICALLY BOSS_2_U and PeskyVarm), and a fat bunch of alts (PlayerX, 2PlayerX, 3PlayerX) all in the same game, which I don't get. But either way, I'm hooked on Warhawk. The trophies are fun to get and sometimes give you a laugh when you get it. When I got the "Are You Aim-Botting?" trophy, the guy that I sniped raged over the mic... "WT* OMG GLITCHER!"

I could play Fallout 3 for 5 or 6 hours straight and not even realize it. I mean, I would be playing one night, look up at the clock, and all of a sudden it's 11 at night and I have forgotten to even eat dinner. I've never been zoned into a game more than that one. And let's just say my college GPA may have taken a slight dip that semester because of that game :P

Oh and also, Uncharted 2 multiplayer could suck me in for hours, especially when playing with friends.

I just play through the game. If I really like the game or just need a couple more trophies I'll go for the plat as long as those trophies are not super hard time consuming. I never really liked trophies, but I will say that I've warmed up to them. They are fun to get sometimes.

I'm with ya on Mass Effect 2 (currently on my 2nd playthrough). I'd also like to add BioShock and Red Dead Redemption to the list. I honestly don't care for the trophies. I mean if I get a trophy I think it's cool, but it's not something I pursue.;)

Mass Effect 2, i've beaten it 4 times on 360 and am on my 2nd playthrough on PS3, each file is about 40-50 hours.. I do everything every time... Alice Madness Returns is probably one of my favorite games this gen, Its one of those games that i completely lost track of time in and just kept playing until i actually fell asleep controller in hand.. (had some trippy dreams that night :P) SMT Strange Journey on the DS would be another one that i just lost all concept of time in and played for days on end... Red Dead Redemption would be one that it seemed i put 3 days of playtime into it in what felt like only a week and a half...(although the multiplayer was garbage imo) DOAD for 3DS is another one that i ended up playing for hours and hours and of course Bayonetta, I'll start that game up planning to do a few chapters and will have ended up almost playing through the whole game again :lol: Persona 3 aswell seemed to be a game that i only played for what seemed like minutes when really it was 7am and i had played the whole night already..

Playing NHL on my 360 right now and although i have a few of the achievements unlocked, (11 of them) I freaking hate the fact that they are mostly online achievements 0_0 why are sports games doing this. Sure some people love to play sports games online but many others prefer offline. The fact that everyone online prefered or not can unlock offline achievements should say something. After the first 2 months the games been out a lot of online achievements become impossible :/

A few multiplayer games have had me zoned for hours. Killzone 2, Halo Games, Cods, Gears 1

Single player wise Bioshock, Red Dead, GTAIV guitar hero xD, Sports games, and of course the number one culprit, Borderlands. Getting Fallout 3 tomorrow so we will see how that goes.

Single player storyline games would have to be those 4 tho: GTAIV, Red Dead, Bioshock, Borderlands in order from elast to greatest.

I agree with you on that ADD part! Hahaha. I feel the same way sometimes playing some games. But NCAA Football 12 comes out today, so I'm sure I'll be zoned in on that!

The Assassin's Creed games get me zoned in for hours, I can just spend so much time exploring the map and climbing around. Multiplayer games are the exact opposite, I get bored within half an hour. Also, I care very little for trophies.

Trophies I semi care about, once I know I have played a game enough then I can start doing trophy hunt for extra extra replayability. And the game that gets me hooked for hours on end is most likely Demon's Souls. I did a 6-7 hours straight playthrough only invading other players.

The games I have put a lot of hours into are Red Dead Redemption, Grand Theft Auto IV, Assassin's Creed series and Just Cause 2
