lol.

I dunno, Ive been picking at Persona 3 on and off for a couple of years.

But Space Quest 6 took me 8 months to complete as a youngster before the age of the internet and FAQs. I was playing the game every day :fbm

Well, in terms of game time that would probably be Oblivion. Since it came out, I've probably played it for about 175 hours, maybe 200. I can't really think of anything else that comes close.

As far as games that I keep coming back to long after their initial release, there's way too many to list.

Been playing some version of Street Fighter 2 at least once a week since I first bought the vanilla cartridge (used, no box = raw!) for SNES back in the day. My Guile wrecks houses.

...or doesn't multiplayer stuff count? >:I

VF4+VF4:Evo or MvC2

Both probably had over 500 hours in local vs.


For single player stuff, Xenoblade at 120 hours.

probably BF1942, I'm sure I racked a good 250 on that, it was basically the only game i played for about 6 months

second place would be Fallout 3, between the 360 and PC versions I probably have around 175 there

Same.  I think about 250 hours on Oblivion.

I played Super Smash Bros. Melee with my dormmates all through college, at least a couple of hours a week for four years. Probably around 1000 hours total.

Title: Re: what's the longest you've played a game for?
Post by: The Sceneman on July 14, 2010, 12:50:18 AM

In terms of hours clocked, Final Fantasy 8 without a doubt. Racked up about 200 at least.

I think Symphonia took me two years to beat, because I stopped playing it at one point and didn't bother picking it up again until I moved to Japan and brought my Gamecube with me.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 14, 2010, 12:56:39 AM

actually, i take it back, it was probably WWF War Zone

i played it with some guys from work every day at lunchtime for the better part of a year

we would create wrestlers and make bets, i remember everyone would always get pissed at me because they made "realistic" wrestlers and i made shit like lex luthor and the incredible hulk and an emaciated ash grey chick with dollar sign panties i named crack ho

My limit is 120 hours, whenever I reach it my brain screams STOP!

haha that's usually my limit too, although i did put over 150 hours into fallout 3 (with only two of the expansion packs played!), which has gotta be my longest single playthrough of any game.  back in the day i used to replay my games all the time and i know i put over 1000 hours into FF8 :bow2  as far as multiplayer goes i don't think i've put much time into anything since that free wolfenstein game came out :lol

Since I have so many systems and I don't regularly play MP games, I can't think of a game that I've even come close to playing for 100 hrs.  

Maybe I did it with SF2 when I was a kid but that was most likely due to just not having enough games.  Games this gen which I've spent around 50 hrs on: Dead Rising, Mass Effect 2, Far Cry 2.

Spent a godforsaken amount of time playing Melee (and before that, Smash 64) in college... single player though, DQ7 took me 130 hours to beat, including beating the 2 secret dungeons, building my town all the way up, and getting the Platinum King monster class.

Title: Re: what's the longest you've played a game for?
Post by: naff on July 14, 2010, 09:31:33 AM

Either Counter Strike, Diablo 2 or Warhawk. I know I nearly racked up 400 hours in Warhawk. Unsure about the others haven't played CS since I was a kid but I was rabid, and I played D2 pretty hardcore after it launched in 2000 then a lot more after LoD, then more casually all the way through high school so that's probably been my biggest timesink, then again I went through some big moments of CS during highschool too.

Post by: Robo on July 14, 2010, 11:29:01 AM

I've played an ungodly amount of Super Street Fighter 4.  And before it, for likely a much longer amount of time, 3rd Strike, although it doesn't show anymore whatsoever --goddamn it's amazing how badly you can suck at something you've put so much time into just from being away from it for a year or so.  I might as well be playing with my feet.

I played Ultima Online for roughly two years straight, for several hours every day, typically in the dead of night when I should've been getting rested for school the next day.  Will never touch another MMO again.

Singleplayer-wise, I tend to drop games as soon as I've had my fill, which comes on rather quickly, so the longest I've played a game was probably however long it takes to complete it.  Probably something like Xenogears or Fallout 3 at ~90 hours.

In total? I think FFXII. Spent over 200 hours on that game.
In one run? I think FFX. Played it 8 hours straight.

I think I started playing at ~10pm and finished around 6am.
Damn, I was broken afterwards. Will never do something like that again.

hehe, didnt get the sarcasm? I wouldve thought most gamers would have sessions like that fairly often? I mean I did a couple of 10-12 hour sessions on Mass Effect 2 and didnt think anything of it.

The  ::) made the sarcasm obvious. Nevertheless, I love games, but I just can't play them for longer than 2-3 hours straight nowadays. I feel so nonproductive when I play games for too long. And that can bother me.
