I've been getting withdrawal symptoms from my PS3 lately, have been barely managing to clock up 1 hour per week. Stupid work and stupid girlfriend.

How about you guys?

Too long

All ive really played in the last 3 weeks was red dead redemtion today for about half an hour. Really havent been playing many games

I can spend hours playing FM on my computer. Not playing my Xbox until FIFA12 and MW3 though.

Some days none, but some days (like today).... I might clock up 10 hours on FM :lol:

I'll spend most of today before I go out on FM.

Depends what I'm hooked on. I usually have FM open most of the day, but that doesn't really count, half the time you're not 'playing' it, it's processing, or you're just ignoring it. I haven't played the PS3 much at all recently, saving my time for the new games that are coming soon.

Same with me. I barely touch my PS3 unless mates are here, but on the occasion I'll pick it up and play F1 or Skate 3.

Starting to get back into FM..so maybe 1 hour a day?

This :lol:

go get a life...........

On weekdays I'll usually play half an hour or so after work. On weekends I might play 2 or 3 hours a day if I have nothing better to do.

like i said get a life.........................

Saying that to someone on an internet forum... no irony in that. :roll:

internet forums aren't a game.......

but i am tiring of the hatred in here ...that's for sure.,......

serious you need to cut the gamimg back to minimal use....its anti social......

just saying.....:-"

Haven't played any since my PS2 broke. :(

Anyway, I have a girlfriend. Sex >>> Gaming. ;)

Thanks for the advice. I am glad you took time out of your busy schedule of initiating conversations with strange men on public transport to come onto 442 and share your wisdom.

thats the way son.........\:d/ =d> =p~

so your admitting to being strange??????:shock: :shock: [-o< #-o :-"

From now on, every single time you mention your girlfriend, I am going to post this:

[youtube]i75EdP9v25c[/youtube]

Perhaps you should re-read that.

I have a life, and play video games.

Weekdays 2-4hrs per day.

Weekend 6hrs during the whole week.

Most of it on FM11, too.

You sooo Jelly. Go play your little console, now. ;)

You've clearly never tried sex, while gaming. :cool:

Used to be addicted to FM, get really bored with it nowadays. Still play COD at least 5 days a week, will be playing more when BF3 and MW3 comes out, might get FIFA as well

I reckon I pretty consistently play 30mins a day but on school holidays I play a lot of my ps3 (I don't have access to it while at school)

When it comes out, I will be playing FIFA 12 every day for 12 months...

Boom. We have a winner.

Edit: double post.

Sounds too good to be true. :lol:

How is gaming anti-social?

If I'm not gaming I may be watching a TV show, a movie or reading a book. All of these things are entertainment and solo past times.

I don't see what the difference is really.

And besides, I've played games WITH people in the past...not MP online..but sitting beside them. Have had some good times doing that over the years.

Exactly what Erebus said.

Just have to laugh at people who say that. I only play my PS3 when I've got nothing to do. The other option is watch TV, watch a movie, sit on my laptop pointlessly.. Why is picking up a controller any different?

I've just finished an assignment on the effects of Media Violence. All you avid COD players have mental issues, and research claims you're twice as likey to pick up a gun and kill somebody in real life then those who don't play.

THINK OF THE CHILDREN, THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!

I call bullshit.

This :lol: I've been playing GTA since I was like 10, and not once have I been tempted to pick up a gun and shoot someone :lol:

Last night I touched the Xbox for the first time in weeks to play Forza with my brother in law.

Also, I love how Heineken derides people for playing games and having no social lives ON AN INTERNET FORUM THAT HE HAS UPWARDS OF 23,000 POSTS ON.

I might play a couple of hours worth of FIFA a week. I suspect it'll climb dramatically when FIFA12 comes out :D

As I mainly play FIFA, does that mean I am twice as likely to become a professional footballer?

No, but you are twice as likely to do the Robot when you do something successfully.

:-k I see. Now that you mention it, I have been doing the robot twice as often as I did pre-FIFA.

I also seem to randomly slide tackle people uncontrollably whenever I go out. It is becoming a serious issue.

REAL research on media/video games effects on people to go on violent rampages says its all bullshit.

You must be reading the "reports" that the ACL keep bringing up by some douche in the US which has been refuted countless times by proper experts not some conservative right wing nutjob.

I guess prior to GTA, CoD etc we never had murders or wars or rapes or thefts in our society. The evidence is conclusive!!!!
:roll: :roll:

Also...actual soldiers in the field have been asked about the "realism" in CoD. They laughed it off basically saying "lol...this is just a game and its nothing like real life war"

I hate holier than thou attitudes when it comes to gaming and comics/graphic novels. Its all the baby boomers thinking its a kids thing when in reality its far from it. Teenagers and adults have been playing video games since day 1.

Most games/graphic novels have better stories, characterisation, themes and emotional tugging elements than the shit that Hollywood churns out for the masses.

Movies: the lowest common denominator in entertainment. Alan Moore is correct in his assessment.

edit: spelling

Road rage in on the rise because of drivers being influenced by Mario Kart.

Computer games don't affect kids... I mean if Pac-Man affected people as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music...

Heineken, I've always considered you to be the one we should worry about. Talking in detail about weapons and shit.

Did it scream rape?

Ahhh but I have a girlfriend, so it all sorta balances itself out... :-"

I bet it had a red ring when he was done with it...

Just played my xbox for the first time in 2 months.
Time for a new game me thinks

Huh? :?

I thought this game worked out, you post as many clips as I do the word.

Well that was the original plan, but you threw that system out the window with your last post. From now on, I will post that video once for every post you make containing 'that word'.

I am not a semi-solid edible substance with a generally fruity flavouring. I hope this clears up any confusion.

Despite not being able to view the image and only having the link to go on, I will say that irritation and jealously are two vastly different states.

Not enough appreciation for this.

I wish I had that much time to play on video games. D=

No money to buy video games, plenty of time. Get a job to pay for video games. No time to play video games, plenty of money.

I lol'd inside just now when I read it.

:lol: :lol: You guys crack me up.

Average maybe 2 hours a day. A quick round of something is always possible.

Does anyway play battlefield 1?

Yes. Excellent game. Been out for nearly a year and I still play a few hours once a week or so. 

PS4?

XBOX One. Had it since just after its release. Single player definitely fun but does need a few more stories to be brought in. So glad to have Australia in a game despite the Cape Helles thing not being historically accruate.

Have you seen the new Operations maps? North Sea had a livestream chat last night. Didn't watch it but the trailer appears great. The Gallipoli operations was fun and the ridges are great for sniping. Somewhat a shame that it's Cape Helles and not Anzac Cove. The Australian uniform as a media and the NZ hat as scout is very accurate.

No not yet. Had a go of the Gallipoli operations a few nights ago and was extremely impressed. So difficult storming up that beach head, as it should be. 

I've played it maybe 5 times. 4 times the British forces I was playing as just mauled the Ottomans and we didn't lose one battalion for The landing and Achi Baba. The other time I played as British the ottomans defended all along the beach itself and you couldn't even get up to the A, B objectives. A slaughter like it really was.

Kaiserschlacht as defender and Oil of empires as attacker would be my favourites as I only use the free premium pass promotion they occasionally offer. Iron Walls is tough to enjoy. Gotta practice the maps more.

isnt battlefield a first person shooter?

Yep, but played over very large maps, generally 32 vs 32 with tanks jeeps, aircraft, boats and now even naval destroyers and blimps. Most terrain and buildings are destructible so playing the same map can feel like a different experience every time. 

Operations mode is new to Battlefield 1, basically one side defends an area until they get pushed back, then have to retreat and defend the next line. It genuinely feels like battle lines exist and you're trying to push through to an objective, having to work together to make something happen, rather than COD where you essentially run around in circles and hope to shoot first.

I tend to game in fits and starts. If I’m really into something I’ll come home from work and play from dinner until bedtime. Last year I played Zelda Breath of the Wild every evening like this for a month.

My current obsession is Monster Hunter World (PS4). Anyone onto this? It’s hype as hell

Most days I don't play at all - but if I do, it'll be for 2-3 hours.  Usually from about 10 when my son goes to bed (it's his PS4, not mine).  Also, I only play FIFA.

Yes we know, Benjamin. You're the most football guy here ;)

Yeah 2-3 hours a night on Overwatch atm.

-PB

All those forumers gone to the ravages of time, I think it's coming up to my 10 years continuously lurking/posting on these forums. I miss the Notor and Afroman shitstorm every thread. 

Anyways to answer the question, I at my peak I think I would come home from school and play 8 hours a day of Black Ops 1. I spent way too much time on that game. Now I barely play, most of my Steam Library is just gathering dust.
