Longest game time This Gen!

[newwiseman]

Probably Oblivion, mostly because I didn't know about the fast travel for the first 2-3months i was playing it. I found out about it when I mentioned how I missed the mage guild teleports from Morrowind.

Sadly not having to run everywhere also made the game a little less fun.

Although New Vegas is getting up there if only because it keeps restarting my computer when it bugs out...

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.

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 =]

I usually get bored fast with games, but for some reason I keep getting back to Minecraft. I haven't counted my online time, but judging by how different that Glacier map looks from when I started it, I'm thinking hundreds of hours.

However that doesn't even come close to my all time record playing Silent Hunter 3. One time, I played 36 hours straight and didn't even know it, one day just erased from my memory Heck, I even used to keep it on normal time and go to sleep with that ambient submarine sound running round all night long. Patrol after patrol, I must've played it 1000 hours or more. And I still play a patrol from time to time...

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

Either Starcraft II or Demon's Souls. Both are around the 100-120 hours mark. And I frequently play both so they keep up with each other

 

[MazdaXR]

My longest would be saints row 2, with about 60 hours, plus the times that I haven't saved the game. Co op is just so much fun for messing around on me and my mate spend easily 2 hours every so often just not doing a lot.

 

[Wraithspine]

Mass Effect 2 - 197 Hours

 

[The Last Nomad]

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 =[

I got 50 something hours in the 2nd game on one playthrough, and that was after exploring all but one planet in the galaxy (Jack's loyalty mission) I never usually play through a game again, I much prefer games that don't actually end, (like GTA or whatever) but I found that I had to play through ME2 again. I never played the first ME, but I don't see how you could get bored with ME2 that quick. Although you only get the Normandy back after a couple of hours, and that's where the game really started.

OT: the most time I ever put into a game from this generation was probably Monster Hunter Freedom/MHF2. Dunno the exact figure but it'd be somewhere in the hundreds, and I'd day MHF2 is probably more but I couldn't be sure. A close second would be Oblivion or Fallout 3. My current save in Fallout probably has had more time but I've made more characters in oblivion (i.e more than one) Fallout 3 is certainly in the hundreds of hours aswell, it might actually be more than either of the Monster hunter Freedom games.
I suppose I could check to make sure about my answer, but I'm a very very lazy man.

 

[redisforever]

Minecraft.

Yeah, I don't play 1 game a lot, mainly a bunch of games.

 

[theSHAH]

Windows 7 PC counts, and easily WoW. over 2000 hours starting in late 2006.

 

[aashell13]

Not sure this is really a meaningful question, at least as far as PC gaming goes, because I'm pretty sure you can sink infinite time into WoW or any other MMORPG if you really want to.

 

[Hollock]

Probably Pokemon, a zillion hours.

 

[doughboy_s_p83]

Atm current gen consoles?
Probably The last remnant, have achieved Ordainer TWICE and restarted many times...
= serious need to get out more, around 700 Hrs, give or take a couple days :/

 

[doughboy_s_p83]

Windows 7 PC counts, and easily WoW. over 2000 hours starting in late 2006.

lol, 'all WoW gaming time by all players combined > TIME!!!

 

[Agent Poole]

world of warcraft, mass effect 2, fallout 3 and fallout new vegas, dragon age origins, team fortress 2 and since when did mass effect or mass effect 2 have 300 + hours lmfao ive completed both to pain staking detail several times each and racked at most about 200 hours max

 

[proandi]

I think I'm on 13 days for MW2 and for single player it's probably FF7, I don't know how long but it's looooooooong.

You make a fair point, however I found that the re-playability of ME was very limited as the driving force of the game was the storyline which always had the same outcome bar 1 or 2 cut scenes.

 

[krazykidd]

About 1000 hours on pkm pearl / diamond. , 300 hours oh mh3 another 300 on oblivion ( xbox360 version no mods ) and about 400 on Bops

 

[MikeBrownYo]

Man, I am so jealous of all you cats. I wish I had the free time and attention span to play one game for 150+ hours. I mean this in a completely non condescending way. I have a hard time focusing on a game for more than 20-30 hours before I just kind of stop playing it. I clocked 160-ish hours on FFVII, to 100 percent the game. I probably had like 80+ hours in GTA: San Andreas. But since the current gen, I don't think I have sunk more than 40 hours into a game, which would be New Vegas.

 

[Rooster893]

SmackDown! vs Raw 2006, at least 180 hours.

That game is made of win.

Team Fortress 2, at least 290 hours.

Also made of win.
