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

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.

"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?

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

green5341d ago (Edited 5341d 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.

frostypants5341d ago (Edited 5341d 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.

BillOreilly5341d 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.

Nihilism5341d ago

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

Reskin ftl.

Valay5341d ago

I seriously loved Chinatown Wars!

LoaMcLoa5341d ago

Cartman loves it even more ;D

Nate-Dog5341d 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.

gameseveryday5341d 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_S905341d 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-Dog5341d 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.

Nihilism5341d ago

na-uh mousetrap ftw.

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

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

CrimsonWing692h ago

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.
