Longest game time This Gen!

[ComicsAreWeird]

Oh, man. I feel like a noob. I havent clocked more than a few dozen hours in Resident Evil 5. On the previous gen, i´ve done much better though...FF XII got more than 200 hours of my life

 

[Sixties Spidey]

Probably a good week's worth of hours into Halo: Reach. I fucking devoured the game. If we're talking about single-player based games, definitely the Mass Effect series. Clocked in probably 100+ hours on that *****.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

4,000 hours of Oblivion.

Yeah.

MMO levels of time.

 

[andyallen123]

eternal sonata! although i don't think i played as much as it says, i swear to god there must be at-least 10-15 hours of cut-scenes! not even unskipperbal showed you the whole opening cut-scene, there's a further 2 after that, then you get a 2 min tutorial and another set of cut-scenes. lol.

I'm tempted to say Morrowind but since it's not current gen (probably, no idea actually) I will have to go with Oblivion too. But Oblivion is like 1/50 of Morrowind's size, so, understandably TES3 was insanely big.

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

Well technically, it was last a last gen game remade for the Wii, but I don't think I've ever spent more time on a game than I have Resident Evil 4. Seriously, I've beaten that game every way possible. Knife only run? Its a *****, but very doable.

Tales of Symphonia I've logged around 400 hours onto. I've played a ton of Resident Evil 5 as well. Those are probably my longest three.

 

[krazykidd]

This generation? Not much more than 100 on Fallout 3.
Last gen I spend more than 300 days on WoW and like ~3700 hours on BF2
Quit both though, one due to boredom and the other due to windows 7 being annoying

With Diablo 3 and BF3 going to shit I don't think I'll ever be playing games like that anymore

I understand diablo 3 but why is BF3 "going to shit" as you say?

 

[HazelrahFiver]

Eesh well...
I've putten over 1000 hours into Fallout 3, and I know that is the game I've played the most more than any other, this gen or not. Couldn't be helped, I wanted to do every single f'ing thing - and I did. It's my favorite game, so I don't feel ill about this at all.

I've also put 300 hours into Demon's Souls, probably around the same into ME2, and 150+ into Red Dead Redemption if you include online play (and you should). Also, I've had numerous playthroughs of Bioshock and Mirror's Edge. The former takes around 40 hours per playthrough (I'm thorough), and the latter about 8. Between the two it's probably another 500 hours to my total time spent gaming.

This is all since 2007 btw, beginning with Bioshock.

I put a solid 300-400 hours in to Morrowind. The only reason I didn't do more was because I bought it for the Xbox (my computer at the time sucked) and couldn't download any mods. All the same,I managed to make my own fun throughout the game.

Oblivion, on the other hand, earned me a solid 500+ hours of playing. I got it a few weeks after it came out, for the PC, and after playing through it once I modded the hell out of it and played it through another three or four times, plus a few saves that I never even got past Kvatch but put quite a few hours in to testing out mods and doing awesome shit.

For whatever reason Fallout 3 never caught my interest like the other two did. Probably an effect of the barren environment; I really enjoyed the foresty-ruiny-whatever in Oblivion, and the wasteland that is Fallout got incredibly gray and boring after a while. I did a bunch of exploring and such, but honestly never finished that game.

I'm sure I've put at least a thousand hours in to playing Red Alert 2 since it came out. I still play a couple games of it, and me and my friends will get on RA2 sprees where we'll just play three or four long games of it in a row; we'll build up our defenses until the bots can't even think of getting through, then build up our armies until we can just roll through the bots, then roll through the bots, and somewhere in between there we'll form secret alliances with each other and go to war on the others with armies of suicide bombers or Ivans or what have you (crono ivans and crono commandos are particularly effective), and the game will end hours later with two of us still standing and about to go to war on each other when the game freezes due to having too many units/explosions going off at the same time.

 

[otakon17]

My most complete run in Oblivion was 300+ hours over the course of six months.

 

[joemegson94]

I logged about 400-500 hours on Brawl. Beasty game.

It's not as nerdy as you might think, as much of that was spent with friends.

 

[SUPA FRANKY]

Well, this gen theres nothing really that took much of my time ( Besides Fallout 3, but that was more in intervals. Play around 10 to 15 hours one week, rest, continue, you get the idea.)

But something I haven't been able to put down lately is oblivion. My Steam account says I logged in about 140+ hours. Let that sink in, 140+ hours on a game I got last month.

Yea, I'd like my life back now.

 

[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!

 

[Collins254]

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 =[

 

[WaReloaded]

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.

 

[omicron1]

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.

 

[MorsePacific]

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

You do the math.

 

[Darkguy89]

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.

 

[Mj Kort]

65 hours in bayonetta. still dont even have the 10 million halos i need for the secret boss.
