10 Most Addictive Games This Generation

GB: "Franchises like Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Grand Theft Auto, and more recently, Mass Effect and Assassin’s Creed have become synonymous with the word “addictive.” Addictive means the ability a game (in this case) has to hook you to it so badly that one cannot stop but thinking about going back to the game and keep on playing it. Very few games can claim to be addictive in true sense of the words. And those that do have that attribute are very tough to put down, and stick out in our memories for very prolonged periods of time."

yup i'm glad it made the list. a little over 64hrs on 360 and now i'm playing through it again on pc =P

green4910d ago

I played ME1 4 times and loved the game more each time i completed it. Played ME2 suicide mission 3 times, 3rd time being my 2nd play through.

Got all DLC's for both games but got to say that Shadow Broker DLC is one of the best..no i take that back, its the best DLC i have ever bought.

kaveti66164910d ago

"3rd time being my 2nd play through."

That's impossible.

How could the 3rd time you play it on suicide mode be the second time you play the game overall?

Blacktric4910d ago

He replayed the whole section by using one of his saves maybe?

green4910d ago (Edited 4910d ago )

"He replayed the whole section by using one of his saves maybe" Exactly what i did.

I played the game the 1st time, made a save before i played the suicide mission and lost 5 crew members. So went back to that save, played some extra missions to get the Normandys upgrades and lost only Miranda.

Started a new save on Insanity, played all the side missions, maxed out all my Characters and Weapons and did not loose any one in the Suicide mission.

Hope that explains it.

Mass Effect, easily. Best game this generation so far. Proof that a great story and environment is all it takes to make a great game.

frostypants4910d ago (Edited 4910d ago )

Mass Effect was good, but the rover-driving stuff kills its re-playability. ME2 on the other hand is great.

It's tied with Demon's Souls and maybe Uncharted 2 as my favorite game this gen.

THE most addictive game of all f*cking time is of course Mario Kart 64.

BillOreilly4910d ago

Yea mass effect, then mass effect 2, the most addictive games this gen. I was hooked on lost odyssey for the longest time trying to get all the hidden bosses/weapons exc. Right now i am addicted to divinity 2. I love leveling up, getting skills, exploring, and messing with my battle tower. Good stuff.

StarCraft 2 for me..still playing it and will play it for the next 10 years.

Nihilism4910d ago

I've already been playing Starcraft 2 for the last 10 years, it's just called starcraft.

Reskin ftl.

Valay4910d ago

I seriously loved Chinatown Wars!

LoaMcLoa4910d ago

Cartman loves it even more ;D

Nate-Dog4910d ago

Agreed about ACII. Man at the time I played it it was probably the most immersive game I had played in years, I'd play it about 5 hours a time, so worth it.

Disagree on FIFA though. I found FIFA 10 more fun, FIFA 11 feels like the same game to me so I felt it was a waste.

gameseveryday4910d ago

I spent nearly 80 hours in to the game. I was surprised by the amount of content that Ubisoft had put in. It was almost like a RPG experience.

Rage_S904910d ago

this is coming from some1 whos got the plat the platforming was horrible kept jumping of the buildings combat was horrible and boring the story was bullsh*t.

the town building thing and weapons were done wrong as in you always had wayyyy to much money once you were half way in the game, oh and the stealth sections didn't work properly.....

there is more but i cant be bothered to type this is my opinion of course

Nate-Dog4910d ago

Fair enough, I know a lot of people didn't enjoy it. I dunno what it was about it but I just loved the game. It was still a bit repetitive like ACI indeed but I looked past that because I just enjoyed everything else about the game so much.

Nihilism4910d ago

na-uh mousetrap ftw.

( ahh windows 3.1....you were good to me )

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai9h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken9h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye7h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken6h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno4h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop3h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger4h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer3h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1492h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris2h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
