What's a game you played that was so good, it ruined your sleep schedule?

[Turbo Kid]

I'm actually surprised at the idea that this sort of thing is uncommon for any serious gamer. Heck, I've pulled all nighters even doing other things besides gaming. It's not that big of a deal.

 

[Poppet]

Maybe Pokémon Sun & Moon? Is not a fantastic game, but it was my first Pokémon game after no touching the series since Diamond & Pearl. I enjoyed the online battles and trading in that game a lot.

And Lusamine is there, my beloved.

mgs 4 when it came out i kept playing(more like watching) it till the next day

 

[pendrag]

I always procrastinate with my games

There is so many of them, but I'll try my best to put it.

1. Terraria
I think it's quite normal one, since all I do is... hours of mining, grinding on event, and brutally squashed by some enemies.

2. Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity
The game is really good. The thing that I played this until I forgot when to sleep is, completing every single one of the stages in underleveled state (sometimes).

3. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
As someone who's been a fan of Sonic since early age, it took me quite a long time to notice that Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles are connected each other. It took me quite a long time to complete the game (with every emeralds collected in every characters).

4. Zero Tolerance
The game is quite hard, and it took me more time to adapting myself with first-person shooter game, since I feel like playing horror game at first.

These will be all, I think. I'll add more if needed.

None of my ones are because they're all that good tbh. I just used to suffer from Chronic insomnia and autism so I played games that we're easy to get immersed or invested in, rather than the best games ever.

Jak 3
Not the best in the series or anything but I was so invested that I completed the entire thing in one sitting only to realize it was like 4/5 am when those credits rolled lmao.

Fallout 4
Not the best fallout by a looooooong shot, but I found the gameplay loop engaging enough that It hooked me in.

Minecraft
I used to look at my clock at 2am, then the next time I'd check it'd say 7am and I'd wonder how the fuck that even happened. This game was like crack to my sleep-deprived mind.

Same!

Other than it, there were too many games that made me sleep too late and ruined my entire sleep scheduling!
I guess it happened with most of games i played!

The last one was Fate/stay night... (Quite a fitting name!)

 

[PhrawzT]

Earthbound
Katamari Damacy
Front Mission 3
Chrono Cross

 

[Rocket2049]

i literally spent a straight 48 hours without a single break/sleep playing disgaea 4 in a row,
my game time was near 350 hours within the month i got it
until i platinum trophied it and quit (theres STILL more you can do , like max out all the stats i just stopped after beating the hardest boss on the hardest difficulty)
never did this on the other disgaea for whatever reason.

the other game was phantasy star online 1, i spent much time on that game overnight with friends,
had about near 500 hours across all my characters, sounds small but to me that's the most time i spent on any one game.

i'm sure there's been a few JRPGs i played till the sun came up lol

 

[IamtheWalrus]

For me, it was Final Fantasy XIV, Phantasy Star Online 2 (Pre-New Genesis) and recently the PC Port for both Stellar Blade and Rise of the Ronin.

 

[MajesticSiN]

Any and every Civilization game.

 

[Taukyrie]

Unicorn Overlord is the most infamous for me. I kept telling myself "just one more stage" and before I knew it, I was up at 3 in the morning.

 

[Comster]

I stayed up all night playing Luigi's Mansion.

 

[boreal_cryptid]

you couldn't imagine how endless are possibilities of Sims series (at least 1, 2 & 3, dunno about 4). especially building towns and houses. it's dangerous.

 

[PrismRed]

The second installment of a game about some kingdom, and darkness and light, and keys. I lost few nights sleep back in the day.
Forgive me for being cryptid but I don't wanna get sacked by a certain mod.

 

[Kamomedan]

Probably MGS V when it first came out. This was the PS3 version and it came out after I graduated high school. Yakuza 5 being localized in the same year did me in

 

[Xdqwerty Xdqwerty]

GTA V

 

[Deleted member 893927]

KINGDOM HEARTS RE:CODED on the DS.

 

[Anoobis]

MGS3 and Freedom Fighters

 

[dropsmegamega]

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 of course!

 

[DreamCPS]

I'm not quite sure they did really ruined my sleep schedule, but both Genshin Impact and Krosmaga ruined my social life for a time, in the past.

 

[skramz]

world of warcraft... specifically the lich king expansion... not too proud of that one

 

[Sinsic30]

PSO on dreamcast - waiting for a married woman name linda to join my lobby and play with me - at least i hope it was a woman :-(
