Hi, my name is Chewy and I am addicted to KoTOR.

Hi Chewy

I can't stop playing this damn game. I come home from work, plop my butt down and keep playing. I barely take a break to eat. Last night I ended up playing till 3am. And having to get to work for 8 is hard enough when you have had a full nights sleep.

I need someone to tell me how to stop playing this silly game. It is way to addictive. It always dangles some nice carrot tasting payoff about 15 minutes into the future. So you think, just 20 more minutes, then I will sleep...... BAD IDEA!!! No wonder this site is called X-Box ADDICT!!!!

So what game is it that you can't stop playing??

Or how have you managed to stop playing a game that you could barley put down???

Chewy

p.s. - exaustedly waiting for a good idea.

The way I always solve this problem is just to keep playing the game.

If you play a game for too long, you will eventually never want to play it again. It happens to me all the time. It happened with KoToR and with the new Deus Ex. I just play and play and play and then one day I'll wake up and not want to play at all anymore.

Whatever works, works. :D

i was addicted to KOTOR for a little while, i was able to stop playing it regularly when i beat it.. i'm scared to start a new game because i'm worried the same thing will happen again.

I could never get into KotoR, maybe I'm just not used to that kind of game on XBOX, i kept wanting to go and duel and I never got that far. Plus, I fell asleep playing it once, I don't know, I like games with lots of action.

p.s. my crack is the same as a lot of peoples: EQ

I use to play KotOR non-stop until my character became pure evil and I was forced to kill half my crew :cry: I am on the last level, but I haven't touched the game in weeks. Maybe I will finish it one of these days...

Well gents, it seems we have a bit of a consensus, finish the game.

I was just hoping someone might have some magic cure that I didn't know about.

Well then, I am off to finish this freakin' game.... hey, maybe after I finish it I should start up a new character and play the dark side.... . .... . NNNOOOOOOO!!!!!

Chewy I did the light-side first and then did the dark. Wow, what a difference two sides makes!:yikes: You'll be addicted for a good month more man. Good luck.:cheers:

rudedogX, the nice thing to do would to have told me that the Dark side part of the story sucks, and to not even bother trying it!!!!!

Do you think my work would mind if I just didn't show up for 4 or 5 weeks???

Well look at it this way man, you'll know what you need to do, so you'll be able to go through it faster, and you'll be able to seriously screw with people's heads. Also, the battles were easier on the dark side.:confused:

Intestesting idea. I will eat so many donuts that I will become lodged in the closest and have to get the fire dept. to extracate me with the jaws of life. While I might get some face time on the local television I would have to guess that this solution might have some lingering health problems.

I have, and always will be addicted to Halo. Once Halo 2 comes out, I will be addicted to that.

I was addicted to KOTOR till beat it as a light Jedi, but I haven't finished as a dark Jedi.


Both games are in my all time top 5!

Yeah, it doesn't really make sense, but when I play on a console, I need to have action, lots of it. On PC its like my brain expects to sit and look at the screen. When I play XBOX, i'm Halo-tuned to want constant action.

Break the cd in half and throw it in the garbage. If you end up buying the game again repeat. Pretty soon you'll be wasting alot of money just to replace the game (and breaking it again) you won't wanna pay up the cash!
If you dont have the heart to break it, simply put the cd in worst case scenarios:
e.g. Put the cd beside your bed. When you wake up you'll probably forget its there and hopefully step on it by accident.

p.s. whats kotor anyway?
I think i probably heard of it but whats it stand for?
