most recently its been ARK, currently doing splitscreen co-op with my 8 year old nephew and suddenly realizing 2 hours have passed is quite jarring, but well, that's pretty much the point of the game lol

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
What was the last game you played that made you lose an hour or more and not even realize it?
- Thread starter Prometheus Zero
- Start date
Wolfenstein TNC most recently. Although it usually happens with all new games I play. Easy to lost track of time.
BOTW, because it takes so long to walk anywhere before you get shrine fast travel points, especially in that damned Gerudo area.
Fire Emblem Warriors. I was at the last few chapters then jumped into History mode. I thought i would get bored going back to replay older chapters to grind my lower leveled characters but i was wrong. It's much more fun than just grinding for money especially with the exp blessing
It's that plodding pace in between points of interest that make time crawl by instead of zip by. So for me, every minute feels like an hour - opposite of this thread. Lol.
Even tho Destiny 2 needs some serious work right now, it's what I have played a good bit of and time flies when doing so
FTL 4 years ago.
Worked in a booth as a security guard during the graveyard shift.
Brought my laptop with FTL.
8 hours flew by like it was God damn nothing.
That game is digital crack. Too bad we never got FTL 2.

Too many games feel like that. Last one though is BOTW, I spent 2 hours walking around trying to unlock towers.
Was going to post this in the Mario + Rabbids thread but soon realized we don't have one yet here on Reset, so figured this was the next best place...
That final mission on 4-9. I'm sorry. I must be an idiot or something but I followed a strategy guide, looked up youtube videos, and even put it on easy mode for the final boss fight with Bowser and I couldn't for the life of me beat it. It took me over 3 hours of trying and retrying only to lose by a single turn. So I was like, nope. Watching the ending on Youtube and maybe one day I'll give it another shot.
So in this case, losing the hours was not out of fun, but out of sheer determination that only ended in frustration and regret. But despite all of that I still think the game is fun but I don't know what happened at the end there.

For me it's continuously Game Dev Story. Every few months I jump into the game and just become totally absorbed. The most recent example would have to be Friday. I was on my way home on the tube, I looked up and I'd missed my stop ending up even further north west than I intended. The plus side to this story is that at least I'd got a 6 million selling title. Every damn time this game gets me, it's a regular time absorber.
The other game would be Super Mario Odyssey. I'm still in the early stages, which is mainly because I'm just running around playing with the games mechanics and failing to cap jump, when it matters, miserably. Oh my what a wonderful game though.

Dance Dance Revolution Ace. Could literally play for hours and not be aware of how much time has passed.
Throne Of Lies. It has that "just one more match" appeal like Civ games with their rounds. I intended on playing a few matches, maybe 30 minutes worth of time typically, but was invited to a role playing group and was having a ball. Before I knew it two hours had passed.
My first days with VR. Eleven Table Tennis and Arizona Sunshine made the hours simply disappear. I was so impressed and immersed that I forgot everything around me.
Mario Odyssey i played till 5 am on release day. Thought it was like 12 am lol, so i lost 5 hours of time.
While not the last, the one I could spend the most time in while not even noticing was Skyrim. I could sit from 8 at night until 2 in the morning without even thinking about it.
I haven't really had anything like that since or at least to that extent.

Started GTAV back up to chase a few trophies and I've lost countless hours all over again. Also Southpark FBW, HZD and Persona 5.
How is Ace compared to classics such as DDRMAX or Extreme 1?
Same game and same thing happened to me
It's like after he wake up I say "I just want to check the mail" and here goes another full day in the game LoL XD
