What? I can't hear you from my 1500 hours of Overwatch.

Those are rookie numbers, you gotta step it up, just look at Rydian's playtime in Warframe if you have him as a friend on Steam, like 13000 hours, lol

LittleFlame

that'd be approximately 1.5 years

Finding that one game or series that has you hooked isn't an issue. If anything, trying to play a handful of the countless games out there at any given time is enough to make you say "forget it".

To be honest, better to be hooked on a game you like (just hooked, not addicted) rather than waste tons of time looking for stuff to play... For example, my go to game series are Monster Hunter, Pokemon and Ys for when I don't have stuff to play and only play other stuff if I happen to come across them, that way I spend my time playing stuff I like instead of just trying to decide

Jiehfeng

Guys, by those games, I meant the kinds you can spend thousands of hours upon where you get completely addicted to it. Something like CSGO for instance, just a few examples. Many people I know play these sorts of games for so long, and never play anything else. These are the games and people who I am talking about. ;P

LittleFlame

what's the problem with throwing yourself on a game you love though

Jiehfeng

Missing an entire library of other games you could've loved too.

LittleFlame

So we're to stop playing a game that's so enjoyable that we'd spent thousands of hours on it to play other potentially great games because?

Jiehfeng

You must move on in life, every great thing must have an end. If you enjoy it, you shouldn't try to suck off of such a game till it dies and gives you nothing. Leave it when you have gained enough out of it and move on to something else.

Jiehfeng

Another game could teach you so much more, give you new experiences, so it is worth it, and will enrich you more. Or you can of course, play other games while you play that. That's why I was referring to people who only play one particular game.

Jiehfeng

You're bound to get tired of the same thing at some point, unless you enjoy playing the same thing every day till you say goodbye to the world, then I quite frankly have no words for you. So before you make it so the game you loved becomes a game you now hate because you played so much of it, it is best to leave it before that happens.

Monotony comes in various forms, ironically enough. However, the varying games don't (and likely won't) grant me the satisfaction of what I currently enjoy. Trends and times change, doesn't mean I have to go with the flow if I'm happy where I'm at.

This, Why fix what ain't broke I'm still playing Dead Rising since release y'know

Jiehfeng

It isn't just about variety. It's about experiencing all sorts of new games, stories and experiences. You may be happy playing the same thing all the time, but you will be even more happier playing many more other games.

LittleFlame

And you just assume that's the same for everyone? it may be the case for you but we're not all the same person you know

Jiehfeng

Those who play only one game cannot say, because they surely haven't tried it enough. You stick to the same thing for security, in fear of losing something that gives you enjoyment by trying out other new games. Everyone can benefit from new experiences, consistency in life is but a disease.

Jiehfeng

If you are capable of enjoying a particular game, then you are more than capable of enjoying many others. It just like music, can you only listen to one song all the time? You may enjoy it, but hearing many others is even better. That's the same with everyone.

enough with the psuedo-intellectual babble I play different games, I play whatever I feel like and sometimes that's 1 game for months on end, like others said getting hooked on a game isn't an issue. you make it sound like people that throw themselves on a game are somehow inferior
