Do you find the RPG games so fun and addictive at times? I find the RPG games to be pretty fun once I get into the game and I really can’t get out of it once I get into a specific game such as Final Fantasy games or Star Ocean games and so forth. Does anyone agree with me when I say this that they could be addictive once you get playing the game?
yes–but as you play more and more and more–it’s addictiveness diminishes.
same as above
i don’t think its as addictive as it is time consuming. you can easily put in over 100 hours on any given rpg — and i think all the stuff there is to collect and make drives you to play a little longer than you had earlier planned on playing. it kind of plays with your want to get things done — you can spend hours just getting one thing done and in the process you find something else that you need to do so you end up trying to do that too.
i also think there is something in people that says a game should be finished in a required time — like say a week or two. people set goals for themselves even if they aren’t remotely realisitc. it seems like a practical amount of time to finish a game — unless its an rpg. you are setting a goal for yourself subconsiously that you can’t finish realisitcally.
if you do something like set a time limit like 2 hrs a day for gaming you know you will never finish a rpg — so you go on a 10 hr marathon and then feel like a geek.
i think its kind of pavlovian too — you do all this stuff because you expect to get something – like a better weapon or a cool cut scene. ever been disappointed when you did a bunch of stuff and all you got was some worthless something you didn’t need?
if they were addictive you would still be playing final fantasy vii and not be able to put it down.
