Fledgling Fyora misafir Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hello. This is a question that has been bugging me for a few days. I noticed that I have been playing G1 for at least 5 hours a day instead of studying for my finals. This usually happens when I first play a CRPG, but never on the second (or nth, as is the case) run. I suspect it's because I'm seriously playing on torment for the first time (with a walking nuke named Smith). Is playing on torment addictive? Or is playing on torment is like playing a new game, causing me to play so much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 My vote lies with addictive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt I_am_a_Minotaur Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 It's very addictive. Except the beginning. Especially when you play with a new strategy. I've probably played G3 to times 6 on torment 4 normal. I've had it since June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Zeviz Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Playing a game or studying for finals ... Studying for finals or playing a game ... I wonder which option is more appealing. Considering that procrastination causes people to do unusual things like cleaning their rooms and picking up old hobbies, I don't think playing a game is that unusual.

Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Playing on torment means you have to pay more attention to the game. There is less room for making mistakes. On the lower levels you can get sloppy and do things that won't work on torment mode. Besides finals are a great excuse to relax with a game to escape the pressure.

Well-Actually War Trall Delicious Vlish Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 On normal, it is possible to doze off at the keyboard... With creations that have no int boost and move on their own. And then wake up and find out that they had cleared the area for you. Silly Alphas just kept going forward to smash enemies, and with each move forward, I guess they woke up new enemies. This was Geneforge II. I woke up and saw my shaper standing all alone on the screen and couldn't figure out what the blazes had happened and why I was all alone. Cryoas? Gone. Alphas? Gone. Vlish? Gone. And there was a blood stain right next to me I am not sure, but I think I might have been beta testing or something. All I really remember was, it was late. Or early. Or something, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast VCH Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 I never play a game more than once through. It's just boring after the firt run. Same story same character bahh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Grain of Salt Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 With Geneforge you can have a different story and a dfferent character each replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times I doze off a bit and I keep typing. Sort of like how people doze off at the wheel of a car but keep driving. I probably had my hands on the keyboard, but who knows what I was doing. I woke up after one such doze to find that I had typed the words "Evil monkey dentists root canal vasectomy." I have no clue what that means.

Unflappable Drayk John S Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 It was probably to remind you that your evil monkey was late to give you a root canal because your dentist gave him a vasectomy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted June 1, 2006 Share Posted June 1, 2006 Just his subconscious trying to tell him, in the most emphatic way it can think of, that choosing an evil monkey to be his dentist might have been a mistake.
