I feel I'm addicted to Destiny

So I was unable to play destiny yesterday since the internet at my hotel wasn't working. While I couldn't play, I felt sad and upset that I couldn't do my bounties or the daily. I felt like I missed out. After I got back home today and played destiny for a few hours, I felt really happy and satisfied. Something bugs the shit out of me though, that I missed out on one day. The one day I haven't logged in to play since launch. Its really frustrating. The world hasn't ended, nor has my life. I just feel like this game has taken the top position as my favorite pastime. Its usually some sort of video game anyway(or book, movie, TV, board game, music), its just interesting that a game designed to be so monotonous can leave me wanting to come back again and again. I think they found out a way to inject crack into my eyeballs, just from looking at my TV screen. Thoughts are welcome and thanks for reading my first post. I appologize if this ends up in the wrong category. Edit: You guys are awesome. Thanks for all the comments so far :) Edit 2: Holy shit guys we're trending the top 10. Way to go addicts lol Edit 3: When I created this post, it was mainly for my own need to address my connection to this game. I felt I needed a way to see how far down the rabbit hole I had gone, so to speak. I welcome all comments regarding others personal attachments (or detachments) from all types, not just gaming. We are all capable of indulging too much in something we enjoy. The key is to not let it consume you and find help if you feel it might. That's the hardest part for me. Identifying and admitting when I start to indulge too much. The comments posted here since this began have allowed me to see that WE are not alone. WE are united. I want to thank everyone for their support, their information, their stories and personal experiences. Its you guys that I'm addicted to. You guys make this game fun. Now get the F out of here before I roll you all up and smoke you.

    I think the group of great philosophers, Disturbed, said it best... "Get up, come on get down with the sickness!" I tell my wife all the time, would you rather me be "addicted" to a video game, knowing exactly where I am at night, or alcohol, drugs and girls where you will never know where I am at night, along with the lying and cheating... My playing Destiny didn't bother her so much after that conversation...

        • It takes up [u]ALL[/u] my free time when my wife's not home. Have passively been keeping up with the NFL/UFC and other interests, but for sure things have suffered. One day I'll find a new balance but for now Destiny wins.

            Take a week off, by the end you wont feel so twitchy and when you log back on you will find it (the game) rather refreshed.

          • Dude I feel the same way I wanna get SSB and I recently bought LEGO Batman 3 and I just WANT to play them, but I simply can't stop playing Destiny. What about my bounties, what rep points, Engrams and Motes would I be missing out on if I played something else? It's like I go through withdrawal if I don't play Destiny. I don't know how long it will last, but I am still loving it for now.

          • Far Cry 4 and Dragon Age still shrink wrapped and gathering dust while I hopelessly visit the Cryptarch in vain. This game is addicting by all definitions.

                • I went to change disc and ended up playing maybe 20 mins of another game before I got "bored" and throw destiny back in. Its bad, games are getting backlogged.

                        • Now that I have a Vex Mythoclast, I love this game even more. I can do the same patrols over and over and the same missions and sometimes I never get tired. The only thing that bothers me right now is that I've been trying to get the Skull of Dire Ahamkara since I knew about it back in Sept. I've tried buying exotic engrams only to be disappointed, while at the same time I hear people getting like 3 or 4 them and they dismantle them because they don't want it. I wish Bungie would allow us to trade, but when they decide to, Destiny 2 will be out.

                          • Thinking to lend my ps4 to a friend for a while. Not realy addicted to destiny just played this week alot because of the dlc. But i also have farcry. Ac unity. The crew. Gta online. Losed my job few weeks ago. Didnt see to much hurry to get a new one because i still live with my parent but. But when i play on my ps4 i keep having a annoying bad feeling that i have to do something with my life.

                            • I've been hooked since alpha. I'm in the same boat you are. Always thinking how I can make my guardians better and stronger. When I miss a day because of work or whatever I have the same feeling. This game is a blast. Has its flaws, sure. Everything in life does. But addicting nonetheless. I like your attitude. Add me if your on PS4.

                              • I hear yah man. I hate destiny but I love playing it. DLC came out and as crappy as it is, I was scrambling to get the raid done and atleast one character to 31. Then I had to leave town just after Xur came and I am missing out on tons of shit. When I left Crota was still a bit of a mystery, not many people had beaten him. Only one chest was found. Now people are soloing whole portions of the raid and Crota is a bitch and I'm -blam!-ing stuck away from home until the reset and haven't even been able to do much. It's an awful feeling.
