I've heard of those games before, but I don't play any of them... sorry. I like playing RPGs, but more times than not, I play Final Fantasy games to quench my RPG thirst... just not the MMORPG Final Fantasy games (like FFXI).

From the people that I know who do play those games, they sound like they take up a lot of spare time.

I think those games are probably best for people with out jobs, family, school or a social life or those willing to sacrifice to take their time to waste on a game.

Yea I guess if you got addicted to them. Just depends on the person.

I play some games, but no 'dungeon' type games. Mostly war type (Battlefield 2142, Company of Heroes). I've recently played the Crysis beta, but don't like it much. I also recently gave up my game-playing time to devote myself to fishkeeping (hopefully one day: reefkeeping). It is much more rewarding, IMHO.

If i had a computer that didn't suck a$$ so much i ight try playing those games. Whenever i think of WOW i think of that one south park Episode.

Same here. Great game. Portal was really good as well. Crysis Beta is awesome but it destroys my machine. ET:QuakeWars was fun for about 2 hours.

I used to play Eve Online for a few years (*gasp*), but now i'm not playing any MMOs anymore. Anybody want to buy a really nice Eve char with 3+ years of training?

Now i'm stuck on Xbox 360 and Guitar Hero.

I know the feeling... other than Guitar Hero 3 and skate, my Xbox 360 doesn't get many other games played on it.

Somewhat off-topic, but did you get the "meet your maker" (beat any of the GH3 creators at their own game) achievement unlocked? I got that achievement unlocked on my HDD this past weekend...

Haven't had the time. Just playing around with it more than anything. My TV/Xbox is currently torn down because I put a 125g fish tank where it used to be. Now i've got to get the 125 set up and running so I can empty out the 46g and put the TV there.

I don't play many games on the computer, due to the fact my computer sucks @ss just like bignick's. I mostly play Halo3 over the internet... I get a kick about the seven year olds on that game swearing.

N3gative Cr33p - what's your favorite GH3 song? this one is a huge improvement over guitar hero 2. Have you played Rocks the 80's yet? kinda curios as to how that is.

Yeah but for some reason I still play them ... despite getting my butt handed to me by those who can invest massive amount of hours.

...I play nexuswar and urban dead.

No graphics but they are both free and ap tick based to limit the obsessivness.

Okay, I guess I'm the huge nerd here. I played EQ, EQII, Shadowbane, SWG, Guild Wars and WoW. I also beta test everything I can get into. I just got done about six months of beta testing Tabula Rasa and Pirates of the Carribean Online. Oh, and I also have a job, wife and daughter. I only play at night when they are both in bed.

 

[canar]

see PVP is where it is at in those games...

I played Shadowbane and really enjoyed it...wasn't a huge time sink and was great for more casual gamers. Played WOW for a couple of months and realized if you didn't have 20 hours a week to sink into it wasn't worth playing because the good gear takes hours and hours and hours to get...not a lot of fun. Also played SWG and thought it sucked.

When I have the time now I prefer games like Medieval total War, which I can fit around my schedule.

Only RPG's I REALLY got into were the Final Fantasy Series. Now I'm a Halo, Guitar Hero guy, with a little Madden or NHL games sprinkled in here and there. I do still like my video games. It's a nice brain escape. After a tough day, dealing with people that do not want to see you and say and do only the "best" things, sometimes it's nice to step away from reality for a minute to let it all out.

Rock the 80's is kinda lame, IMO, but in all honesty, I think the PS2 versions of GH are not nearly as well made as they are for the 360.

I love Guitar Hero 3 on 360. My favorite songs have to be The Seeker by The Who and The Metal by Tenacious D. Hey, Cr33p, when are we going to Duel?

I am a 5 year recovering MMORPG addict. I think the south park episode is dead on. Currently RC is the only "group" computer activity my sponsor will let me near - Seriously though - I wasted a lot of good drinking time by being on those games...I also wasted a HUGE amount of money on my PC to keep up - I'm glad that aquariums are so inexpensive.
