Longest game time This Gen!

[unicron44]

I was at Megaton and I started wandering around. I did thing where I snuck into an abandoned supermarket and raiders were there. I stealthed my way to all this stuff and then some kid came up to me needing help. He takes me to a town where spiders that shoot fire were like level 20 when I was like level 5. I get destroyed, rage quit, and never played again.

Yeah, Fallout really doesn't believe in giving lowbies a helping hand. Although, that's part of the fun. It's a Bethesda game where you actually have to go "OH SHIT! A DEATHCLAW!" and then run as fast as possible in the opposite direction, unlike most of their player-relative nonsense in Oblivion where you could defeat pretty much anything just as easily at any level.

Well I was really new to gaming when it came out and couldn't really grasp the controls well. I've been meaning to go back to it though.

Unless you accidently hit a unicorn in an attempt to kill a minotaur.

True, but that bastard is insane at whatever level you are. That was my main objection to Oblivion. Having been a giant Morrowind fan (hundreds and hundreds of hours, loads of mods created etc) I was hugely disappointed by their decision to do that level-relative NPC spawning. Bandits wearing Daedric armour, guards that can pose a challenge to me regardless of my level, rats that can quite easily kill my level 50 Deadric-clad super-warrior on harder difficulties. I missed Morrowind's clear level system. I missed charging around one hitting the guards whose hubris overcame their senses as they tried to arrest me.

It's a real shame, because that one feature wrecked (for me) an otherwise brilliant game.

My problem with morrowind was by the end of the game when i had my super duper magic hammer and 100 blunt even the final boss died in 2 hits. Kind of a let down compared to vivec who raped me, wrapped my testicles around my neck and pimp slapped my until i cried.

That was until i went back with massive magic resistance, reflection and absorbtion and repaied the favour, and trapped his soul in a pretty star =]

Haha! You Azura's Starred VIVEC?! That's hilarious! You soul-trapped a deity!

Funnily enough it wasnt as hard as i thought, but was a LOT of fun =] but i never could decide what to use it on seeing as his soul is something like 50 times the size of a grand soul, but you cant do anything more with it =[

TES: Oblivion: Around 530 hours.
I would use World of Warcraft which I've clocked up WELL over 115 days on, but I thought I'd challenge my brain to think of something else.

I think 50 hrs has been the most for me on ME.
However how the hell did OP rack up 300 hrs on ME? I completed everything within 50...=s

completing everything doesnt mean you stop playing theres more than 1 class, plenty of abilities, different ways to deveolop the same characters, different choices for renegade and paragon, hundreds of side missions, which i did until i was happy i had found every item on every side world and killed every enemy i possibly could. Then i started a game with each class on each difficulty to see how different the intro was for each play stlye, then a farted about for ages trying to speak to every NPC in the game, aswel as reading all of the logbook and databook entries, i over emmerssed myself in that game, which is why number 2 was such a let down for me and i barely got past the intro, i think maybe 3 or 4 hours in, which apparently isnt far off halfway =[

ME2 is about thirty hours long for a single playthrough. Main difference is there's much less side stuff to do; it's a more linear, "action" game as compared to ME's "RPG" feel.
On topic: might be risen, actually - 30 hours spent and I'm planning to go back.

well i salute you for 30 hours on risen, the horrible controls had me leave that game with about 6 minutes game time and 1 pitiful achievement i wish i never gained coz now people know i actually played risen, and i found ME2 just didnt have the same feel as ME, something about the lacklutser weapon upgrading, the lack of exploration instead giving you scanning as a cheap replacement, and i like the whole everheating thing, felt more futuristic and fun coz in my mind, guns in the future wont have to reload :/

Shouldn't've played it on 360, laddie. On PC, it's much better - better graphics, better controls, and if you like the gothic series it gains brownie points for that too. Just look at the average metacritics - 60 for 360, 77 for PC - for proof.

I have somewhere between 75-100 hours logged on Fallout 3 per character. I had 16 characters.

You do the math.

I've sunk more than 200 hours into saint row 2 I the last 2 and a half years and plan to sink even more time into Saints row the Third.
