I dont want to play that game, it will rule my life!

I don't want to play Dayz, I tired it and it sucked me in so I had to stop.
I don't want to play Minecraft, I spent my first day digging a ditch which took me eight hours. My mate came in and said what are you doing? I told him I was digging some hole, he comes back eight hours later and I'm in the same spot with a bigger hole, he's likes wtf??

Guild was 2?? No way will I get that it will take over me and ruin me.

Who else avoids certain games as you know you will waste hours on them and achieve nothing?

I tried to avoid GW2.

I failed.

I had a free trial for WOW

Loved it. So much in fact I decided not to buy a subscription

I tried to avoid GW2, and succeeded at that price!

I've avoided Minecraft for exactly that reason.

I guess the Guild Wars 2 hype passed me by. Not really a fan of mmo's to be honest.

I just don't get how tight fisted some people are!

The game took well over 6 years to develop, is beautifully epic, great fun and provides almost endless gameplay.

Even if you play for only 100 hours for the intital £50.00 or so that's 50 pence per hour played.

I don't get all the pricing complaints. Maybe it's just me!

I tend to go out and do something productive so that later on I won't feel guilty about my gaming

Musty Pie · 12 Sep 2012 at 15:20

I avoided GW2, mainly because I have not had the time to look at a PC game properly in months

I try to avoid games with lots of grinding involved, so anything developed in Korea, and most MMO's. Lessons learned the hard way

MooMoo444 · 12 Sep 2012 at 15:47

I've just quit WoW, because I played it too much. I know the feel.

PiKe · 12 Sep 2012 at 15:47

Play games with an ending.

arc@css · 12 Sep 2012 at 16:21

I don't tend to avoid playing particular games that I know will suck up more of my time than others, though there are a few that I've bought in the sales but have yet to play which might qualify, such as Eve.

pingwing · 12 Sep 2012 at 16:22

Can't play FM at the moment, too much to do on it and not enough time in the real world

nitram100 · 12 Sep 2012 at 16:28

Eve online is the only game that I actively have to avoid because I know it will be bad for my health.

Well, everything now is designed to be played indefinitely, or replayed if it has an ending.

I don't think you can blame it on the game itself, but more on the player and their ability to balance the time.

The only things I could think of off the top of my head that are more difficult to play casually would be the older mmos (like wow), and perhaps minecraft.

GW2 can be played casually easily. I know because I do!
