GAMES I COULD NOT PUT DOWN - FEMTROOPER

[@Irissima]

Persona 4 Golden on PS Vita, I played it on the train, at home for hours and hours, at work during lunch break, I was totally obsessed 🤣 To this day P4G is still my favourite Persona game, I love it so so so much 😍

[@femtrooper]

It’s such a good one!

[@NordicAndNerdy]

That Pokemon moment was precious! Man, there are so many games I've binged over the years. As a compulsive completionist, I rarely put a game down until I've at least beaten it, but I'm usually ready to move on by the end. There have been a rare few games that, even after completing them, I still wanted more, they were just that fun. Super Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Sekiro, Metroid Dread, Persona 5 Royal, Persona 3 Reload, and Disco Elysium all come to mind.

[@femtrooper]

Aw thanks!!! 😊

[@dukey03]

There’s nothing like that feeling of never wanting to out a game down, and every minute you aren’t playing it; you’re thinking about playing it! Dragon Warrior IV was the first time that happened to me as a kid.

[@femtrooper]

DQIV is such a good one! I love the multiple characters’ storylines. It’s just such a cool game!

[@dukey03]

@@femtrooper yeah, it’s always a toss up for me on whether I like the DQ4 cast or the DQ11 cast more. Nostalgia always gives 4 the edge for me I think haha!

[@TheTateful]

8yo Femtrooper getting hype for Pokemon Blue at Xmas reminds me of when I got FF2 (4) for my birthday at age 7. I could not contain my excitement.

[@femtrooper]

The best Christmas!!!

[@rolanddobson6900]

Most recently couldnt put down the spiderman games. Spider man remastered, spider man 2 and miles morales were all really good!

[@femtrooper]

Those are so good!!!

[@nickwick35]

Usually anything with a great story will have me hooked so games like Xenoblade, Triangle Strategy, Star Ocean Second Story, DQ 11 come to mind for recent games I just couldn’t stop playing! Great video as always Fem!

[@femtrooper]

Thank you! :)

[@Dilvamp90]

may i just say you one of my favourite and comfort youtubers just much fun to watch and you seem like a awesome person too plus you talk about gaming which can't be beaten Paige you are star

[@femtrooper]

Aw thank you so so much!!! 😊

[@imrobotjo]

Dragonball z kakarot was so addicting. I beat it on my switch in 1 week. It’s so well made. Top 10 switch game of all time for me.

[@femtrooper]

That’s awesome to hear! I feel like no one talks about it!!!

[@CelsaoHumilde]

Unicorn Overlord was really an addiction to me when it launched... So damn good!!!!! Thanks for the video Paige :)

You are most welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@sixsixjd]

Wow that clip of you getting Pokémon at Christmas is so special! All of these are great picks. I'm playing through Yakuza 0 ATM an completely agree I can't put it down. Another fantastic video 👌

[@femtrooper]

Thank you!!!

[@damcrac]

Glad I stuck it out to the end. Mass Effect is by far my favorite series and gaming experiences ever. The definition of "can't put down."

[@femtrooper]

Absolutely!

[@benironside1264]

Last time I was this early.. Pokemon was so good I couldn’t put it down 😂

[@TheLegendofLeo]

This is a great video. When I think back to the games that I obsessed over, it’s typically social gameplay that drove me to stay up until insane hours in the morning. Beating Pokémon Puzzle League (Champions?) for my friend on his GBA; playing the Halo 3 campaign on legendary with the same friend; discovering hilarious ragdoll glitches in high school on Xbox Live; grinding a mage on MapleStory in junior high; and most recently - and yet again - grinding matches in Dota 2 with old and new friends. I’m sure there are plenty of single-player experiences like yours that I’m forgetting right now, or maybe I’m just weak to peer pressure 🙃

[@femtrooper]

Interesting! Didn’t factor in social games like that but totally!

[@TheIndieOcean]

Interesting question! The main one that immediately comes to mind is The Forgotten City. It's only about 9 hours long but I played it in one sitting because I couldn't tear myself away. I do enjoy a time loop. Also a game called Sundered. I'm not generally a fan of metroidvanias (or whatever term you prefer) but not only did I love this one, I played it a second time as soon as I finished it. I NEVER do that, with anything.

[@femtrooper]

Both sound really cool!

[@toolman4745]

Awwww! Kid FemTrooper was adorable! The game I was most obsessed with was Suikoden 3. It released in 2002 when I was in college and I think I got it for Christmas. My parents had this incredibly comfortable leather recliner. From the day I got it and for like 4 days straight I didn't do anything other than eat, sleep, use the bathroom, and play suikoden 3. I have hardcore ADHD so having a game engross me like that is incredibly rare.

[@femtrooper]

That’s awesome! Definitely a series I am excited to get into!

[@toolman4745]

@@femtrooper 3 isn't even the best in the series. 2 is easily the best. But 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 (Eiyuden Chronicles) are all amazing games you can't go wrong with. 4 is a crazy huge departure from the others but still a solid game is taken by itself. And suikoden tactics is a very interesting and fun tactical game. It's my favorite JRPG series of all time.

[@maximusroyalstar9084]

Usually I finish one game and move on to the next, but after more than 40 years of gaming, I had a very hard time putting down one game last summer. That was Monster Hunter World: Iceborn. A few years ago I once played the base game solo,finished it on my PS4 and then just stopped like always and started the next game. Normally I always play offline, but last year I finished Monster Hunter Rise (Xbox game pass) and that with very pleasant online sessions. When I saw Iceborn over I immediately thought "I should play that online too" and it was even more enjoyable than Rise. I ended up spending almost 500 hours and had to force myself to start another game. I've never put so many hours into a game before. and I've never been so entertained. I'm already looking forward to Monster Hunter Wild ;-)

[@femtrooper]

I need to give that series a try!

[@kali-qgames1301]

First off, that amazing family memory is so precious! I am huge in capturing moments and that moment literally took me back to when I first got my hands on a GBC and played Pokémon Red for the first time☺️ took me back there But yea, Yakuza is one of my favorite series of all time, I’m so glad to see Yakuza 0 on your list! It is the entry I always tell newcomers to play! It literally has it all! The side stories in Yakuza games are top tier! Great video !!

[@femtrooper]

Thank you! And I’m glad you love Yakuza 0 too! It’s definitely the best entry point to the series!

[@jjmini]

That christmas video really hit the feels. You sound very similar to your mom these days, I guess we really do become like our parents. I really couldnt put dq11 down either and to this day as someone who has played rpgs for at least 30 years will rank it among the top of its class. Its an absolute masterpiece and ill never stop singing its praises. Phantasy Star Online back in the day really hit me hard, I still play smash bros melee daily 23 years later, each and every pokemon game still hooks me as well. ff6,7,8 and 9 had me and my brother addicted as kids to the point we would bring the SNES and PS1 on camping trips with us so we could squeeze some extra playtime out of them lol. Rebirth just recently felt like a spiritual journey and had be absolutely addicted playing sometimes as much as 12 hours a day. I know A LOT of people didnt like the game but loop8 really hooked me in its gameplay loop and I finished it with the good ending in like two days flat. Might and Magic 7 and 8 had me and my cousin terribly addicted as kids and to this day when I start a new file in either game I get hooked all over. For Visual Novels the entire sciADV series had me hooked line and sinker- Chaos;Head, Chaos;Child, Steins;Gate, Anonymous;Code, Robotics;Notes, and Steins;Gate 0 has been a huge part of my personality for years now and Id sink hours and hours into those stories easily. Other visual novels that really hit me hard that I couldnt put down were Archetype Arcadia, Nonary Games, and Raging loop. Sorry for my scattered thoughts lol the list could potentially be endless. There are so many games through the years that have taken over me lol

[@femtrooper]

Love this!!! And thank you!!!

[@ChrisMeadows92]

Last month I had to force myself to stop playing Spider-Man on PS4. Know I’m late to the game on that one, but I got lost in the story, the DLC, the costumes, all the busy work Ubisoft style side missions. I never get addicted to a game like that. Last time I lost myself in a game like that was the Mass Effect trilogy.

[@femtrooper]

The original Spidey on PS4 is incredible! I love them all!

[@Androsynth75]

DQ XI is the first jpg I played through in ages. It's so good. It also made me go back and play the older games as well. Other games I've played through a gazillion times are Mechwarrior 5, Star Control 2, Deep Rock Galactic and Skyrim.

[@femtrooper]

Awesome! DQXI made me fall in love with the series!

[@Tinoshke07]

So many games you mentioned are on my list too, like DQ XI, FF VII Remake, the ME trilogy , all the games from Quantic Dream. I'm also a huge fan of all the Dragon Age games so I played them for so many hours.

[@femtrooper]

That’s fantastic!!! Yay!!!

[@jeremygreen2883]

Dragon Quest VIII and Dragon Quest XI S... I love those two so much! I'm firmly in the Yangus fan club.

[@femtrooper]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[@drearycanary7157]

Your videos are like a nice chat about games with an old friend! Great selections!!

[@femtrooper]

Oh wow! Thank you!!!

[@retrobrandon]

Ah man, the Pokemon segment was SO good. I remember borrowing a super gameboy and my friends game to play it because I wanted it so bad but didn't have it. I'd take it from my cousin, and I just couldn't get enough. Then one day, one of my dad's work buddies got me a freaking Special Pikachu Edition Gameboy Color with Pokemon Yellow and I about pee'd my pants I was so excited. I too was ABSOLUTELY obsessed. Also Fire Emblem for GBA. Holy smokes I played through that game like 6 or 7 times nonstop. I was obsessed.

[@femtrooper]

That’s so awesome! I first tried Pokémon at a friend’s house on the Super Game Boy! My Mom wanted to make sure I actually liked the game because you couldn’t rent Game Boy games. So amazing!!!

[@SuperRetroForce]

Some solid games here! Alot of us are big xenoblade fans so glad yo see you enjoyed it!

[@femtrooper]

Yay!!! Thank you!!!

[@tzovlask]

ok P, I got something for ya for this one! 2 words: Naughty Dog. So many games, every one of them hooked me and never let me go. Crash Bandicoot PS1 - 3 games, obsession to find everything, get through the levels. The music and graphics were amazing back then, and Crash, although mute, had so much personality and charm! Uncharted series - yes, like most people, I have my favourites, but every one of them hooked me. The characters were so great, the action was fun and it were proper action adventure titles. Every instalment after the first, was a day 1 purchase and could not leave them until the end credits! TLOU 1&2 - I have no words. The devs peaked on these, and created masterpiece games. I needed to replay each title at least twice when I got em day 1 and re-explore and look for details that I missed and fully upgrade my weapons (not that I really needed that as an incentive) Great shout for FF7R - I was the same, I couldnt get break myself away and I also agree that it is my more favoured out of the 2. Resi Evil 2 Remake - My god! I didnt play the OG. What a game, fully got it grips into me and it became my obsession. The other remakes dont seem to grab me like this one, it has perfect emmersion with resi sillyness! Splinter Cell 1, 2 & 3 - On ps2, if you wanted stealth, everyone played MGS. After I played the DEMO of splinter cell, I couldnt stop thinking about it. I replayed it so many times I would speed run it. Then when I got the full game, it was delightful. It felt so much more grown up than MGS. Sam Fisher was awesome. I couldnt put them down when I started playing them. Chaos Theory is still in my top games of all time. Gran Tourismo 3 A Spec - I would dream about this game when I went to sleep. It was so incredible, that I think it still holds up today! The customization was incredible. Getting licences was super additctive. It blew my tiny little mind, and I have such incredible memories of it. Ratchet and Clank 1, 2 & 3 - the most platforming fun any series has given me. When I played R&C, I played nothing else...for weeks! There are so much more that are surfacing, but I think these are my top picks for me!

[@femtrooper]

Tons of great picks!

[@superdave3093]

Great video! When I was little (like 6,7,8) I got a hand me down NES from my older brother and 16 games. It was a fantastic Christmas! 😁 Anyway… it had All the Mario’s at the time, all the Zelda’s, etc. The two games that I couldn’t put down though were, The Legend of Zelda and Castlevania 2 Simons Quest! I LOVED those games even though my friends and my brother thought they were boring 😂 A few years later on SNES I obsessed over Zelda a Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, and Actraiser 😍 god I LOVED those 3 games! And constantly thought about playing them when I was in school lol. The last time I was truly obsessed with a game was with Fable 2! Romancing all the town people and playing the beer mini game until the sun came up. 😂 😂

[@femtrooper]

Ooooo, one day I would like to try Act Raiser!

[@vicentecastro7148]

I couldn’t put down Fire Emblem Franchise…so hype always 😊

[@femtrooper]

Such a good series!

[@slam-zany]

I was crazy addicted to the Like a Dragon games. The side activities are insanely deep. Great list!

[@femtrooper]

So good!!! And thank you!

[@jat2319]

Love the added old footage :)

[@femtrooper]

Thank you!

[@xxProjectJxx]

Mine was definitely Persona 4 for PS2. I picked it up on a complete whim. Just heard about it on youtube, thought it sounded neat, and grabbed it during summer break from college. I was flat out obsessed. Days at a time would go by where all I would do was wake up, and play Persona 4 from morning till night until I slept again. Only taking breaks to grab a snack or shower. In hindsight, it wasn't very healthy, lol, but I loved it. It's what got me into Persona and Shin Megami Tensei, which are still some of my favorites today.

[@femtrooper]

That’s awesome! When a game does that, it’s the best!

[@RomanJr316]

He is a brilliant man. He was your boyfriend but became your husband after he introduced you to the Mass Effect trilogy. I didn’t marry my boy lol who introduced me to Mass Effect because it’d be weird lol but he became my son’s godfather. Also my first Yakuza was also Yakuza 0. I wasn’t pregnant because men can’t get pregnant lol but I loved it too. Lastly that clip of you getting Pokemon on Christmas 1998 was really charming and cool. Loved your list. Lots of good games.

[@Eagleknight815]

Those Poke Memories are excellent and precious! Your Pokemon = Final Fantasy VI for me. It was the game that took my entire world as a kid. Also, Trails in recent years. I hope Trails in the Sky FC for switch next year is on your radar! You won't regret it

[@femtrooper]

I can’t wait for Sky!!!

[@donjohnson7768]

I love Heavy Rain!! JAY-SON!

[@femtrooper]

OMG! Haha never forget lol

[@PloysMaw]

Great picks and the old family footage was incredibly wholesome. On the subject of Pokémon I was just as obsessed when I was a kid, never had Red or Blue as they were my brothers but I kept on 'borrowing' them so I could play it. I was so excited when my Mum surprised all 3 of us to a trip to Toys "R" Us soon after Gold and Silver came out to go pick brand new copies. I think I remember her saying when I asked why, she said something like this: "Their going to be really hard to find when Christmas comes around." In terms of other games I couldn't put down without writing up a huge list: All but one of the Atelier games I've played so that's roughly 20 odd, both Blue Reflections, Seabed, Clannad, Bravely Default 1, Yakuza 0 and Triangle Strategy just to name a few. As for new games that came out this year: Unicorn Overlord, Another Code: Recollection and the Switch port of Pentiment.

[@femtrooper]

I wonder if I would like the Atelier games! I really want to try Ryza!

[@PloysMaw]

@@femtrooper I hope you will give them a go, they offer really chill vibes even if the older games in the series have time limits. In terms of if Ryza works as a good starting point I'm on the fence. In some ways it works; such as the characters and the general atmosphere but where it doesn't work is, the simplification of some mechanics and that it has more of a action-centric battle system as the older games are turn-based. Personally I think both Atelier Rorona and Atelier Sophie more so the later if you're not a fan of time limits are better places to start. But in saying that Ryza isn't a bad choice.

[@femtrooper]

@@PloysMaw Oh good! I’m into turn based, no time limits and I kinda suck at crafting - so based on that which would you recommend?

[@PloysMaw]

@@femtrooper Hmm, maybe either Atelier Marie Remake as it's a remake of 1st game that never came out in the west so things are a lot more simple. I think it has the charm of the series and that of a PS1 game. Another pick is Sophie the Alchemy systems aren't too hard to grasp multiple difficulty options are their and both of these games don't have time limits.

[@arcadeutopia3035]

I absolutely loved playing Yakuza 0 during lock down. The character depth is so deep ❤😊

[@femtrooper]

It’s incredible!!!

[@Locut0s]

Right now I’d say it’s The Last of Us. Just playing through it now if you can believe that. Not honestly usually my type of game. Zombies aren’t my thing, survival horror isn’t either, nor is gruesome violence or shooters in general. But omg the story and characters are so god damn captivating, so well written and acted! It’s so insanely grounded in gritty realism and it tugs on your heart strings so effectively !

[@femtrooper]

That’s a really good one!

[@GamesWithTea]

The original Mass Effects Trilogy is one of my favorites, I also love almost all Fire Emblems I’ve played.

[@femtrooper]

I’m certainly due for a replay!

[@RE-LOOIE]

Excellent topic...I may need to do a video response to this one 😆 I still need to get back to Dragon Quest XI, but I have no doubt that Dragon Quest 3 HD will be a big game to play during my paternity leave. I'm looking forward to being able to look back on it years later and having those types of nostalgic memories from when my daughter was born :) Heavy Rain is another GREAT one! I was so glued to the screen when I played that game lol Great video, Paige!!

[@jusuke1980]

I'm a pretty avid gamer, but the games i literally lost sleep over because i could not put down (that i can remember) are BOTW, TOTK, SMT IV and V, xenoblade 3. probably because they are exploration heavy. story heavy games like persona, I usually need mental breaks.

FF7 Rebirth is the last game that did that to me. 250+ hours in that game felt like 10. I remember having 15 minutes of free time between some obligations and just booting the game to see some minor detail and hear that awesome soundtrack.

Great video and amazing list of games. Mass Effect trilogy is something I think every gamer should play. Those games are very special. Great moments and memories. Xenoblade Chronicles is great series. The FF7 remake looks amazing. When I played the original game that's how I picture the game when playing it on PS one when I was a kid. Can't wait for part 3 of the remake. Pokemon Gold was the game for me where I couldn't stop playing. Still love pokemon gold to this day. I need to play dragon quest 11 S. I played the demo loved it I need to go play the full game.

[@GeminiSunrise06]

It's been so many years i didnt lack sleep to play video games. But as a regular way of playing games. From my recent memories. Pokemon arceus gameplay wise was so fun to me! So hard to put it down! Of course as a child i was also a fan and bring my pokemon yellow everywhere 🙈 Xenoblade 3 was unexpectedly a blast! ( I didnt really like 2, 1 was ok ). I can't wait for your video about it! Trails serie, once the story pick up with many events, it's so hard to put down, kinda samy from what you said about heavy rain. I had my fun with until dawn, even 100% it. I think i a few days off back then, so once i started it in a dark room ofc, i couldnt put it down 🙈

[@femtrooper]

Until Dawn was awesome! I love those!

[@tonyp9313]

The Pokemon games Red, Blue, Yellow, Silver & Gold on the Gameboy those are games where you catch your own pokemon power them up to 100 or whatever level you want to, give them your own moves & have those on the Transfer Pak for the N64 to play Pokemon Stadium 1 & 2 with your own pokemon instead of using rentals. Heavy Rain is my Favorite Quantic dream game. I got platinum for this back in the day. Madison is my favorite character in the game. This was also the 1st game when I found out who the murderer was, I was like no way & it was that good that I couldn't even believe it.

Absolutely 'Dragon Quest XI S'! I had so many "I'll just do this _one_ quest and then I'll go to bed. Oh sh*t, it's 3AM!" moments. 😆 'Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition' was the same. The story and the soundtrack had me gripped instantly and didn't let go. Wow! There is one game that I couldn't put down but _really_ wanted to, and that's 'Red Dead Redemption II'. The post-game is one big grindfest, side-quest, collectathon; especially if you're going for the platinum. Ugh! 😵‍💫 A slightly older one - 'Vagrant Story' on PS1. The story, characters and atmosphere are absolutely glorious. It is probably the one game I absolutely *fear* getting the remaster treatment 'cause I hold it in high regard. 😅

[@femtrooper]

That’s the best when you just say ONE MORE but then it ends up being hours haha

[@rachyrachington]

My games I couldn't put down: DQ11 as well, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Stardew Valley and Hollow knight. There are definitely more but those are the ones that spring to mind immediately. Like, my obsession with Hollow Knight was a tad unhealthy lol

[@femtrooper]

Hehe I love it! DQ11 is way too good!!! I still think about it!

[@tomsimmons7673]

Most recently Cat Quest 3. Only game I actually finished this year.

[@femtrooper]

Those games look super cute!

[@S_Hyde]

Trails of Cold Steel 4, I took some vacation days when I was "near" the end and I probably blew through the last 50 hours in 2 or 3 days.

[@femtrooper]

Wow! That’s amazing!

[@csbkota]

The last one I remember I couldn't put down was Trails from Zero. But I used to be a PC gamer in my youth and there are 2 games that pulled me in and wouldn't let go: Heroes of Might and Magic 2, and the actual entry in the Sid Meier's Civilization series. And the there are some rogue like, and or lite games like FTL, or Into the Breach. Oh, and before I forget it: Chrono Trigger was such a playtrough too, and The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening on the OG Game Boy.

[@femtrooper]

Great choices!

[@Dilvamp90]

i recently played RoboCop that i couldn't put down and Final Fantasy 7 remake, RoboCop was messy with a lot of bugs but i still enjoyed it a ton

[@femtrooper]

I’ve heard it’s super fun!

[@frankbrodie5168]

Hmmm Minecraft for me probably. Despite having ridiculous amounts of played time on FFXI and FFXIV MMO's. (30k+ hours played on each one. Total of 19 years subbed between them.) Literally sitting here playing Minecraft on PS3 now. Whilst watching your video. I've said it before, but I think I just like pressing the buttons. Around 2016 or so I think it was, my then wife arranged to take our 2 youngest kids to Edinburgh just for a Saturday night stopover in a posh hotel. Left me to look after the house and menagerie of animals. (ALL hers I'll add. Cats/dogs/birds/fish/horses/ponies and others I'm probably forgetting.) I didn't mind because >>> As I watched her drive up the driveway to exit the house to drive to the train station I started up a new map on Minecraft. And as she drove back in about 35 hours later, I was still sitting there digging a giant hole. I did almost nothing on the map except flatten off a mountain, and just strip mine a 100 X 100 area straight downwards. Hack trees down to make chests to stash all the spoils etc. This was in survival btw. I still never use creative except to test a house design or contraption maybe.

[@femtrooper]

I’ve still never actually played Minecraft!

[@OrbitGametv]

Pokemon red, dbz kakarot and heavy rain are great games I loved them. I almost platinum kakrot but my file on the ps4 got corrupt and I find it hard to start over but some day soon I will go back to it

[@femtrooper]

You should!

[@arabeauty3998]

Atelier games I can put hours into just doing the alchemy

[@femtrooper]

Another series I gotta check out!

[@lordeowstheking]

Sounds like my son he loves all the pokemon games and always plays different ones on the switch or his ds I got for him.

[@femtrooper]

Awesome!!! Glad he loves them too!

[@stephieh80]

I just started playing jrpg games last year and I finished Dragonquest XI. It is my favorite jrpg game so far. Such a great game and yes I couldn’t put it down either. Great characters and story, absolutely loved it! Xenoblade chronicles trilogy was really great games too. 😀

[@femtrooper]

YESSSS! You have so much amazingness ahead of you!

[@remakeyourself]

2:28 - Here, Femtrooper describes the JRPG ;)

[@Shinky]

More recently? Lufia 2. But other games that strike me as cannot put down games are: Earthbound, Stranger of Paradise, Tales of Arise, and Zelda: The Minish Cap

[@femtrooper]

Man oh man, I am so curious about Stranger of Paradise! It looks ridiculous but I feel like maybe I’d like it!

[@Shinky]

@@femtrooper don’t take it seriously and you’ll enjoy it

[@nimbylive]

The only game I was addicted to/couldn't stop was Diablo 2 back in the day. I had a friend that we scheduled when to get on so we could play together. Even when he wasn't on I would lose sleep and once done with work would rush home just to play.

[@femtrooper]

That’s awesome!

[@eliotwildermann]

U really like dbz kakarot I definitely need to play it been in the backlog for awhile now 😅😊

[@femtrooper]

It’s such a fun time!!!

[@gabykorkowski]

Your video opening pokemon its so awesome 😢

[@femtrooper]

Thanks!!!

[@IvanIvanov-uo8xm]

Damn she has the holly grail behind -Earthbound!!!

[@femtrooper]

You know it!

[@Spare_Ombres]

Hey Paige, thanks for the video, yeah I agree with you with the original Pokémon, was so much fun! Beside that I would say, Skyrim was a game that did that to me and Monster Hunter Rise too, the fact that I own multiple copies of those two might add to that lol

[@femtrooper]

Yay! The original Pokémon craze of the 90s was so special!

[@arfanik9827]

Two of mine were definitely Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on the GameCube, and Fire Emblem Three Houses on Switch. Then there is Persona4, I was hooked for a good summer.

[@femtrooper]

Yeah, Persona 4 is soooo good!

[@JamesLFilms]

I remember Pokemon yellow for the Gameboy. That’s all I played every day all day as a kid.

[@femtrooper]

Another excellent game!

[@Doopyhpp]

I was so tired I thought goku on the thumbnail was sol badguy

[@MoTheGuy]

I love most of them. I just started with like a dragon, and IT is fun!!

[@femtrooper]

YAY!!!

[@tonyp9313]

Games that I can't put down are the 8 bit to 16 bit retro games. The games are so short that I play them everyday almost when I am bored. I play them like many of them & keep rotating. Right now I am in the phase of playing Mortal Kombat 1 on the Sega Genesis every day. Yeah I could play the arcade Version because I have it but I like playing Mortal Kombat 1 on Genesis because I put a Game Genie Code for me to be invincible & never lose. Well I don't anyways because I play it on very easy.

[@femtrooper]

Yes! Lots of SNES games for me too!

[@RPGStory]

Pokemon was nuts back in the day I even had the little figures the gengar one was so cool coz it was like purple glass 😂. Mass Effect trilogy incredible! And I'm obsessed with Yakuza such special games.

[@femtrooper]

I had all those figures too!!!

[@ssyxji659]

I also couldn't put down Dragon Quest XI S for the life of me. It's my favorite game of all time

[@femtrooper]

It is a masterpiece!

[@clintbrew]

Plus the fact u can play it twice due to having the 3d version and 2d version which make it like the originals DQ games on the nes/snes

[@ThePromG]

My top game I couldn’t put down was definitely Heavy Rain. When I was in high school and had marching band camp all day the week before school started, I could not wait to get home and continue the story. Apparently I got the worse possible ending too 😅

[@femtrooper]

It’s sooooooo thrilling!

[@pancakeboi6797]

For me it’s pokemon diamond/pearl/platinum (yes I own all three). Pokemon heart gold/soul silver, pokemon x and y, and pokemon sun and moon/pokemon ultra sun and ultra moon. I’m also a huge pokemon fan if you can’t tell. Persona 4 golden and during the pandemic persona 5 royal. Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 remaster. Sonic adventure 2, specifically in the chao garden. Unironically I liked shadow the hedgehog game despite the flaws. Naruto shippuden ultimate ninja storm 2. Story of seasons. There’s probably more. I’m also more of a jrpg fan rather than western rpg. I’m a weeb cause I mostly consume Japanese media and starting to get into some Korean. 90 percent of my gaming time this summer has been pokemon.

[@femtrooper]

Yessssss! I’m in such a huge Pokémon mood right now! I totally get it - I can definitely get obsessed with those games! Easily!
