What top games in your lifetime have you got addicted to?

Oh god there are too many to count but lets start with the big ones I suppose...

Persona 3 FES: This game. It ate so much of my time my first winter back in university around two to three years ago. During that time I played it for nearly 8 hours one day. The story engrossed me so much that when it came around to the ending I cried two separate times.

Persona 4 Golden: Similar story to P3FES. I had gotten P4 Arena Ultimax beforehand, which unfortunately spoiled a big part of the story for me, but even so it ate months of my time.

Okami: One of the best stories I have ever had the joy of playing through. This was an entire summer to play through to completion, and have beaten it at least three times by this point. Fantastic story, art direction, and music did a really good job of locking me into it.

Minecraft: This one shouldn't really come as a shocker, but it has kept my attention longer than any other game I've played. I've taken hiatuses from it, but I've always come back, and then I usually end up playing it for another six months or so straight before tiring of it again.

Skyrim: Played through it without the DLC, then played through it with the DLC... too many times, then played through it with mods. Something about it just keeps pulling me back in even though I get too efficient at the game some times. Also dragons. Dragons are cool too.


There are probably more, but those are certainly the major ones that have killed my free time xD
 
Maple Story was a big thing for me in my teenage years, it's probably the one game that I keep going back to no matter what. It's totally different now so I usually play on private servers. I've played this on and off since 2006.

Animal Crossing New Leaf was a small addiction, I played it non stop for about 6 months before I got bored of it. Same goes for Wild World.

Splatoon is also a bit of an addition, I play it for a week at a time before leaving and coming back to it.

I'm not a huge gamer so I haven't been addicted to a huge selection of games.
 
There is a lot but the ones I got addicted to the most are animal crossing new leaf obviously, Wizard101 which is a mmorpg game, new super Mario bros, super smash bros, Mario kart, Nintendo land, Pirate101 which is another version of wizard101 but with pirates instead. There's more but I forgot them.
 
Animal Crossing: Wild World, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing: City Folk, and Pokemon Omega Ruby.

I'm not that big of a gamer, so I don't play that many video games.

Animal Crossing, Garry's Mod, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Pok?mon Pearl, and Five Nights at Freddy's are the most memorable to me. Right now I'm really into Emily Wants to Play.

Sonic Adventure 2
The Adventure itself was nice and all but the Chao Garden was the thing that really made the game shine for me! It is so nice to see your Chao growing up and getting better at racing and karate!

Mario Kart Double Dash!! And Super Smash Bros. Melee
These were the only games i had on my GameCube when i was little so i played them a ton! Until i got Super Mario Sunshine hehe...

Minecraft
I played this game so much with my friends, it is insane! My social life and school career actually started to suffer from it. Everytime i saw a computer, i tried to install Minecraft on it. LITERALLY everytime. It is really sad to be honest...
 
Mine started as a young child playing Pokemon Yellow, Blue, and Red on my Gameboy Color. I think I was 8 or 9 years old? yikes..it's been too long. I was obsessed. I remember on the weekends I would stay up all night playing Pokemon Yellow with my GB light attached! I also obsessively collected the trading cards and would trade them with my school friends. I had so much Pokemon toys and gadgets, it was unreal! haha..

Then in 2008, I got wrapped up into World of Warcraft with my now husband. A High School friend of mine introduced it to us during that year and we played all the way until Summer of 2015. I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, so playing it really helped me get through a rough time in my life. I met so many awesome people and I even have met a few of them in RL. Overtime, my friends stopped playing, raids and guilds were just filled with Drama, and talking about raids, guildies wouldn't show up and it would cause a huge fight to happen... and it got to be too much. I got burnt out on the game and the drama that came with it. I started back college in the Spring, so it was hard for me to stay focused and dedicate myself to the game... I will always have a place for Blizzard games, especially WoW! but I just felt like it was time to move on ;_;. Maybe one day I'll go back... *sigh*

Now, I am of course addicted to both New Leaf and Happy Home Designer. My husband bought me the Happy Home Designer 3DS bundle for my Birthday and then got me New Leaf for Christmas! What I like about both games, is, that they are not stressful and are really fun to play during my down times when I'm not in class, studying, or doing homework.

Animal Crossing for gamecube

Pokemon Firered

Binding Of Isaac (both of them)

Pok?mon (mostly all of 'em)

Minecraft

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Smash Bros. (Melee, 3DS, Wii U)

Paper Mario TTYD

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate

Guitar Hero (GH:3 to 6)
 
World of Warcraft definitely has more of my time in it than anything else. I also got crazy into Skyforge, Final Fantasy XIV, and Warframe because I have a weird love for the MMO grind lol. I loved League till everyone got so salty on there. Sims 3 with a lot of expansions, because I've just always loved it lol. GTA III and Vice City because I rekt everything. Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Oblivion because I love feeling my importance and gear improve as I play. And Roller Coaster Tycoon, Minecraft, and Animal Crossing because I love sandbox games. I also have an embarrassing amount of time into Runescape just cutting and selling yew logs...
 
animal crossing wild world, city folk and new leaf. i've really enjoyed playing on those three games. especially new leaf, which is easily my favourite game in the series. i'd also say hhd cuz i also have that, but i haven't been playing that one much (thanks splatoon and acnl :mad:)

the sims, though it's been quite a while since i last played it now. i don't have a computer, so i've played the ones that have been on nintendo consoles. even though they may have their flaws which make them not as good as the pc versions, i still spent many hours playing them.

super smash bros. melee, brawl and wii u. i've had so much fun on these three games (even though i'm pretty bad at for glory)

mario kart double dash, ds, wii, 7 and 8. i've always enjoyed playing mario kart, especially wii and 8.

since i got splatoon for christmas, i've found that i've been spending a lot of time playing it - far more than super mario maker and hhd, two other games that i got for christmas. it's just so much fun to splat other people in turf wars or ranked battle!

Besides Animal Crossing, I've been severely addicted to Rayman: the great escape.
I played this on the computer, 8 years ago and I recently bought the game for the 3DS. Unfortunately, I regret doing that, since it's not the same anymore ._. It doesn't look as great as it did on the computer.
I've also spent hours of my childhood on The Legend of Zelda games, which I am still doing, by the way xD
Sims 2 and 3 were great time-consuming games, too.
 
Oh I've been addicted to all sorts...but I'm getting on a bit in age now so I guess that's why ;) haha
Currently it's animal crossing. Previous to they it was Zelda a link between worlds.

I had a massive addiction to the GTA series throughout my teenage years. Then I moved on to fallout...pretty sure if I had a fallout game now I would get addicted to it all over again actually.
Had a phase with the rayman games on my phone, they're still on there now but I'm distracted with ACNL at the moment so I don't play them.
There's probably a lot more, I just can't remember :)
 
animal crossing city folk and animal crossing new leaf.
in 2012 i got city folk and i didnt play a whole lot but both summer 2013 and 2014 i played every day..,,, like a LOT.. And ever since i got new leaf in april 2015 i've been hooked. hehe.

first game i played was wind waker..,, i was really bad and i didn't even know english so i couldnt understand anything lmao. i mostly ran around on the different islands and cut grass..,, i was like 5 ok. then a few years later i played it myself for the first time (although my brother helped me translate some stuff) and i was Rly into it!!
after that i played through twilight princess a few times (i mostly just ran around there too first..,, but then i actually played it!! yea)
