(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm posting this thread to see what the community thinks about being addicted to a game, or gaming. What I mean by saying game, is just playing one game. By games, I mean multiple games. So, what would you think would be considered playing to much of one video game to be considered addicted? Do you think differently of a gamer that plays multiple games compared to one? What are your standards for a normal amount of gaming? Please answer in hours per day or hours per weak.

Not anymore. I used to be when I played the good COD games (MW2 and before). Some days I'll play BF3 for a few hours, some I don't play at all. I've managed to put almost 250 hours in since it came out 9 months ago.

That's how I am now, just without the BF3.

When CoD 4 came out, I was a dumb little kid who wouldn't stop playing, I thought I played more of that game than anything else. Until I remembered my first encounter with Runescape and World of Warcraft when I was younger... I played those literally 24/7 (besides sleep, which was in fact deprived due to these festivities), and I couldn't get enough of them, I can't even tell you how many hours I put into those two titles individually, too many.

Then MW2 came out, I played A LOT of that, not as much as CoD 4, but a lot. Black Ops, not as much as MW2, not even close. MW3 came out, was addicted for maybe 2 weeks, then completely dropped it.

Now, I'm not playing too many videogames, just some throwbacks as of lately like [PROTOTYPE], and before that I played a bit of Medal of Honor for PS3, and some PlayStation Plus exclusive indie games, I'm not addicted anymore, but I can definitely say I was.

Imo if your still playing MW3 everyday and have been playing COD since COD3 or COD4 then your an addict cause only an addict would still be playing a DLC version of MW2.

The following user groaned Ameht! for this awful post:
