I'm at the capital of Ferelden, in a house that's filled with mercenaries, archers and mages and I died for the first time. I popped up the reload screen(fortunately I had auto-save on, so my last save was when I entered that very house) and I realized I had been playing for 10 hours.
I woke up at 9:00ish, opened my presents until I found Dragon Age, installed it and began playing as a Human Noble, trying to be a good guy(altough in this game that's easier said than done) and it's now 20:00 (GMT is my time zone). Has this happened to any of you guys? Last game I've played so compulsively was Mass Effect on the 360.
I just logged in 10 hours of Dragon Age:Origins straight :O
First of all, if you're playing on x360, congrats on not get RROD.
I've often played for stretches that long in the past when I had some friends over (about a day once). It's very fun to do yes.
Merry Christmas.
I don't know if I ever did a 10 hour stretch, but when I got MGS4, a friend and I played it all night until the sun came up.
You spent your whole Christmas day sitting in your room by yourself playing Dragon Age? Lucky bastard, I spent mine trying to get the damn game to install!
Meh, I played Mass Effect for about the same (on and off through the day) yesterday as well. I tend to play for long stretches of time when I do play. Kind of like "binge drinking". I won't play for days and days then put in 8-10 hours on a Saturday. Still, it's not as bad as when I was playing World of Warcraft. I can recall doing 16+ hour sittings then.
Is that the building where three doors lead into the same room and there are three Blood Mages (plus about a billion other guys) inside? That was probably the toughest fight in the whole game for me - I eventually fluked it on about the third try because last man standing Alistair hit a level up right before he went down. Everything else was cake after that.
Last game I played solid like that was Shenmue 2. I can't really game like that anymore, I start to lose interest.
" I definitley like this game, but I find myself sort of bored after a while. Am I really the only person to experience this? "Maybe take a break and come back to it later? =) I'm sure you'll start missing it after a while.
I'm on my fifth playthrough, (first playthrough took me 47 hours) and I'm still loving it. Every time I think I've seen it all, I discover something new. It's definitely my game of the year, and something I'll come back to many times in the future! I think the longest session I had was some day after my exam, I played for 16 hours from morning to midnight. It wasn't an entirely uninterrupted session though, the entire morning I had to take five/ten minute breaks as I was doing the laundry at the same time, and I had dinner in the evening (forgot about lunch though, hehe!).
That was an incredibly difficult fight, for sure. Right up there with the final boss in the Orzammar quest-line and the spider queen. After dying about four times to the mages, I just started spamming acid flasks."
