Is it really healthy to be so addicted to a game. I know this is the measure of a great game and the hours in it total 1200 probably more but a close estimate, but I need to do laundry and take a shower and do other things, but I start the game and I get lost in it.
Also I have been wanting to say this, remember Unreal Tournament 2004, the announcer saying "ROAD KILL", why not have a perk that will do more damage to pedestrians and animals. after 4 levels, have an instant kill, there I said it.
To save a post, can anyone also tell me what gamestage the demolisher will show up on hoard night? I started a post a long time ago about it but I forgot.
I can tell you that i have the same concerns as you. I bought this game last January and i now passed the 1000 hours mark. I just play every freaking day. I think about it when i go to bed and when i wake up, literaly. I think about it at work, what im going to do on my base, upgrade the horde fort, what i need to loot. Trying a new single-biome map, trying a new character build. It just doesnt @#&!? stop lol.
I recently had 3 weeks of vacation in July. I live in Montréal, Canada and our summers last 2 months and a half. 3 is phenomenal. But i spent 3/4 of my vacations inside, with bright, warm sunny days, playing the damn game... Just to help my pathetic case, i bought myself a brand new PC (self birthday gift but i was overdue anyways). Among all this, i remembered to do those things called "eating" and "showering". My sleep cycle is of course screwed up and what's a "social life", btw?
People will tell me that the pandemic contributed to this and while i agree, i know it would have been the same damn situation without it.
I recently started thinking i had a problem and tested myself with some complete days off from 7DTD. And i've been able to go through them. I still need my dose sooner or later, but i found out it isnt so bad as i thought. Its similar to when i had my Bloodborne phase and i recovered lol.
Like you said, its the mark of a great game and a winning formula for the developers. To remain politically correct, the Pimps would tell us to take breaks and not burn ourselves out, but i know they're secretly diabolically laughing at us, bathing in our money (that i gladly gave), while we're dancing like puppets and ask for more
