Games that you are addicted to

Simple question. Which game are you most addicted to?

I have mine. Zombie panic: Source. That moment when you realize you have put 245 total hours into a fan made mod.

Hearthstone, been playing it everyday since April. They just released a new expansion too. 

Me too. Once I get started playing it's hard to stop. If you ever played the Civilization games on PC it reminds me of that when it comes to the "one more turn" mentality of that game. You don't want to stop.

 

For me though I sit in front of a computer all day for work so a lot of times I don't feel like going home and doing the same.

 

Then the Android version came out...and there goes my free time. haha

Nice, I've only played the mobile version of Civilizaiton and it was my favorite app for the longest time. Yeah, I have an android tablet also, but it was too old to download HS. I really wanted that fireside cardback :(

 

Hey if you want to add me, my battletag is Babyant44#1843.

Rome: Total War became an obsession. Once I start I can't stop

Ha I am into Rome 2 and Attila right now, a lot on the graphics but some fun games. I remember the good old Rome 1 days though, fun game although there are a few things that get really annoying.

Yeah, when I talk about RTW, I'm referring to both. I really like 2, though. I might even like it more than the first. I could play it over and  over and really never get bored. There are so many possibilities and how you can approach the game, even if you play the same faction. I'm also a huge fan of Rome and their civilization as a whole, since my family is from there, so I suppose I have somewhat of a bias but I don't care! I love it.

Ha yeah the 2nd one is pretty good outside of agents getting really annoying, I don't know if you play a ton of campaign or if you are a multiplayer type of guy but those agents can get brutal

I play both. I love the campaign, though. And those agents are so annoying. I usually kill them with my own guys and then take my agents and use them to help my territory.

Same and I have really gotten into campaign as well since I like managing all the stuff. I usually try to get my own agents after them as well, I like to deploy them early in my territory to rank them up fairly quickly so that when I start invading people they are highly ranked and can take guys out. I just hate how 1 spy can go and poison an army and they lose half their men and can't move. Just a bit overpowered lol

I've always used the territorial expansion method. I usually attempt to take out an enemy who is weak and underpowered early, utilized alliances formed with others who dislike them and then continue on fighting their allies until they submit or I eliminate them. I then use the territory system, what it was called, and use the special boost to help favor my funds. I usually focus solely on populace happiness and income, because those are the two areas that can get bad fast. I love being Rome, and just going north and taking over all of Italy and then choosing whether I want to take over Eastern Europe or Gaul. 

 

One thing I do that works really well is I do not spread out territories. I find that if you take over patches without consistent dominance you end up weakening your empire overall, and thus spreading yourself too thin. The empire buckles under the weight of a lot of armies, so I tend to have just a few but I go on campaigns where all I do is attack a certain region. I like to build up huge legions, assemble them at the borders of the cities I plan on taking, and then when I can pretty much just eliminate and entire enemy in one turn, I go for a massive coordinated attack where every legion attacks a city at once. I end up just wrecking factions that way.

I always like to turtle up a bit at the start, I mean if there is a city I can take pretty easily I will go for it and if I am at war with anyone I will make sure to get rid of them but I like to focus on my economy and making sure my income and my food are both doing well and make sure public order is in good shape. I also like to get trade rights going with people and getting libraries to help with research as they really start to stack up later in the game. Once I start feeling pretty confident in my economy then I start getting guys trained. I like to have armies at my border cities and like you I love to attack with them all at once so I cripple a faction pretty severely the first turn into a war. Once you get into late game then it just becomes steamrolling everyone.

Yeah, I have a very similar if not identical procedure for how I begin the game. Ugh! I want to play now but I also want to get ahead on school work. #TheStruggleIsReal

The Zelda game series. When I found out Majora's Mask was coming to 3DS around my birthday, I got pretty damn excited. My brother got it for my birthday opening night and that's all I did outside of class for a few days.

I also love Kingdom Hearts. I'm wanting a PS4 almost exclusively to play KH3

I don't have a PS4 yet and the more I wait, the more I hope the prices will go down, so that's fine with me.

I won the National Championship 14 years in a row without losing a single game and had like 7 or 8 heisman winners in NCAA 14 with Texas on All-American in Dynasty Mode (because I couldn't deal with the fact every pass I threw got picked off whenever I played Heisman). You could say I played in a lot.
