Rub Rub Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I often find myself getting a top game, fifa, killzone, uncharted, F1 Etc, play it for a few days, and then just being drawn back to FM. So much so that ive now given up on getting any other game other than FM! The money i save on not getting other games will go straight into upgrading my pc so i can play FM at a better speed!

Purplehaze420 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The only real exception I can find is Fallout 3. Obsessed with that game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swirlypop69 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'm pretty much the same! FIFA 11 got all of a fortnight play time at most before it was back to FM! Now I just stick to f2p browser games when I need a quick break from FM! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashcymru Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not including silly java games or stuff like that I don't really play other PC games, not because FM rules my life mind you, just because most of them don't interest me. I'll PES once a week when my mates come round but thats more a social thing than a gaming enjoyment thing. Wouldn't have it if it wasn't for those nights.

Rub Rub Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 All other games are just the same. A role play game: you start of weak, you upgrade through experiance, you win. A sports game: you play, you win (good multiplayer though) A shooter: you shoot easy enemies with simple guns, next level you get better guns and harder enemies. A RTS: you start with a base and a few buildings, you build more over time until there is no more to build. A racer: you start with a slow car and slow opponents, next level it goes up a notch etc. The only exception for me is GTA cos like FM its very diverse and deep and you can play it how you want.

Smurf Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 The only time I get to play games is the weekend. And unfortunately I can't play all the games I want. FM is grand because you can do other things. I played Duke Nukem demo just to try it out, and it was fun. But it was 45 minutes of intense concentration and I wasn't able to do other things, like surf the net, chat to people, do the ironing, put a wash on, watch tv, etc. FM suits me.

milnerpoint Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 yeah i go to other games sometimes, but FM always gets first choice, if i cant be bothered with it, or cant play it for whatever reason then ill play something on the xbox. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

withnail316 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It's a totally different gaming experience, for me. FM is the only PC game I'll play, but I do enjoy the odd Xbox blast from time to time. I can still pick up GTA and play it for hours, but right now I'm looking forward to Gears 3 and the new Batman game. Very different games, but so much fun...

Smurf Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Definitely if I'm looking to play a few hours of gaming I'll turn to the PS3 or xBox or Wii or some other game on the laptop. If it's party night the Wii gets a run out. If it's watching football with the lads it's Fifa or PES at half time. A new Gears of War you say - two days intense gaming to complete it. Some other games get priority, but not for long. And I normally wouldn't have time to sit down and play games that intensely. I like doing other things while playing Football Manager. Not everyone can play their favourite game and also work at the same time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

metisse Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 It defenetly ruined all soccer games for me. I think fm 3D match looks more realistic than pes2012. Yeah, i know it's kinda wierd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabio MVP Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Given that in the last four years I only play FM, PES and Prince of Persia, FM didn't really ruin anything for me as I have plenty of time to play all of those three games. Before this period of four years I played absolutely everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkwone Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Not a chance, although i do find it difficult sometimes when i'm trying to play on the PS3 and FM at the same time - I lost the plot with LA Noire recently because i was engrossed in my save.

AcidBurn Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 There are several games that take my attention away from FM. WMMA3, TEW2010, Uncharted, Fallout series, Oblivion, Red Dead Redemption and Elder Scrolls Skyrim will see me ditch FM for a couple of weeks as would a new Fallout game.

Braundjoh Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I play tonnes of games, but FM takes up a reasonable chunk of that time. That and FIFA will probably be my most played this coming year, as usual, and I have grown so apathetic of COD that I won't buy it. Looking forward to Skyrim though.

dirtyscarab Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I'd say that it does yeah. Haven't really got into F1 2011 because of that very thing.

Gentleman Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Has FM ruined other games for me? Not really. I`ve always been a person who enjoys long lasting games, so RPGs and Simulations are always on my list. FM is the only one that keeps returning though, even back when I only had a single pirated copy of CM96-97 and didn`t even know these kind of games were sold in stores. Actually, they weren`t even sold in stores anywhere near my place I learned that year, so I wasn`t too downhearted Heck, I didn`t even know what the word pirated was back then. Ever since I found CM 98-99 in a store nearby I have bought a copy each year and played every single version. Got to make sure that my favorite development studios won`t go broke after all. I still play other games like Mass Effect and some RPGs though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ackter Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 If a game has a proper co-op campaign then I'll play it, but single player games don't hold my interest now when FM is available. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shirajzl Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I play games like Total War series or some Paradox titles like Hearts of Iron and Europa Universalis. What they share with FM is that you can play all of them at your own pace and they don't require your undivided attention every single second of playing the game. The older I get, the more I enjoy games like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Civ V occasionally gets a few days play, which actually eats into FM a little, but it's always been something to play for short phases as opposed to continuously like FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
