I've been known on occasion to play 4-5 hours at a time. I know that this is too much because when I go to sleep all I can dream about is PSU.. I keep playing the damn game in my dreams!

What is it about this game that keeps us all playing? When I step back and think logically about it I always come to the same lack of a conclusion: There is an infinite ammount of "better" games out there and I have no idea why I keep putting this old disc in the tray!

You´re not alone, sometimes i play 5+ hours myself.

I think the sheer affection and addiciton of the game is what keeps oneself coming back.

For me, it's because the game is very laid back compared to other online games I've played. In addition to that, it's always fun to collect the "new" items and hang out with good friends.

Eh, well, it is a RPG.
Play a RPG 100% or do not play it at all.
That is how it goes for me.
Addiotionaly you play for it. That makes you think that when you pay for it, you have to play it long enough to make it worth your money.
That makes you play far more hours a day than you should.
And you meet friends. My gosh, friends!
"I cannot quit.. My friends would miss me!" <- Such thoughts are pure evil.
That is why I was uber happy when I finally managed to get myself to quit.
I mean, good god, I was freed from an endless spell.
And I will not start to play another RPG for a long, long time.

Let's get us back on track... What is the longest sit-down you've had in front of PSU? Do you notice adverse effects to these extended playtimes?

Quit? After all the items you squeezed out of me!?

Anyway, I enjoy the game in moderation. I'm very lax. =)

I used to have a lot of PSU dreams actually. :wacko:

I've played some pretty long sessions. I think the longest was probably 20 hours straight during v.1 item hunting and most likely MAG or Firebreak.

As for side effects, I think the generic "think about the game while away at work" thing happened quite a few times for me. Then again, that happens to any game I play for way too long. I remember jotting down notes throughout the day on how to improve mission run times, equipment/pa's I needed to improve, etc. I think it's safe to say I liked this game too much at one point.

I don't do that much anymore though, haha. :lol:

Awesome... I've spent time at work compiling lists of items I want and where they drop too!! I actually have a list of stuff I want in advance of the arms dealer in the works right now! I feel like such a loser sometimes... Lol.

XBL Suspension .. Well since I'm using a Gift Card. it declined it after 2 months. and it wants me to use my real debit card.

I'd rather use a gift card just ot be safe. and becuase of hackers.

Credit card I hope you mean... Never give debit info over the net!

I've had my credit cards on XBL since day one without a problem. If you are worried there are cards that offer online protection (ie. fraud insurance).

Guess that's the risk you take with those pre-paid cards... Some loser at GameStop (EB up here in Canada) stole the number off the card!

Yes Credit card. I just call it debit card somtimes. =P

when I 1st signed up for XBL I was hacked and they bill me 400 to $600 and then I really had to cancel my credit card and make a new one. that is why I use pre paid/gift cards online and Credit cards in person

and the person the billed me 400 to 600 used my PSU character. but that was like 2 year ago.

Longest time I played sitting down time was two days straight, it was back when I first got the game, and I got college I have to worry about now so I cant play as much >.>; that and playing over a year burns a person out, so I play 10-15 hrs. a week pending on work being done. Well, and if a event is going on, lolz

Longest? 16 hours on the first day PSU was released.

Even dream about it.
Once before i went to bed, I started a Sanzu-hiken. Had a dream where I was pulling the Sanzu out which it was 42% ice. Woke up the next morning to pull the Sanzu out and BAM it was 42% ice. I was like WTF??

Yes I think this too. I just don't know what it is. I've played other MMOs and got bored with them and stopped. (Not really a big fan of MMO's either) I have other games that's way better but I don't play them nowhere near as much as PSU. Even when PSO was out i didn't play it as much as I do with PSU.

Well for me I really like games with GOOD character creation and action. Maybe it's the character creation. But this game's character creation isn't even all that good. But compared to most games that have character creation, (which be crappy) it's decent.

And that fact new things are added every 2 weeks.... or so we're told....

I don't know really.

On long days, I end up playing somewhere between 6-8 hours in one sitting. Normally, if I have time, I spend only 3-5 hours in several sittings. I'm sure the longest session I've had must have been over 10 hours, but I wouldn't know.

The longest single play session I had was probably 14 hours or so, back when HMS gave the best MP. I usually play games in general for about 6+hours a day. As for writing lists, I sometimes did that during school when there was nothing better to do.

used to have a lot of PSU dreams actually.

I don't think I've ever had PSU-related dreams, but I sure as hell had a ton of PSO ones. It would always involve getting excited over a red box or a rare enemy. In fact, I actually had a recent one where I started a new character, found a Hildeblue and died, lol

You've plays so much that:

1) You believe the enemies will jump outta the screen.
2) You lose alot of sleep playing PSU
3) One time I image a Goshin submerging from my television screen and biting my head off.

there have been many days where i just play psu the whole time, often over 10 hours.

and the best dream ive ever had took place inside psu where i actually became my char, except i was a futanari. not to go into graphic detail but the dream was a psu futanari orgy that was extremely realistic (^_^)

1. I wake up
2. Get on PSU
3. Go to bed.

There are things inbetween but I have forgotten them due to PSU being trapped in my mind.

Longest I played PSU hmmm I think 10-12 hours and that's when I first started. Nowadays I play like 2-3 hours at most out of four days out the week. And I never had a PSU dream of yet, but I use to have PSO dreams when I was younger. lol
