Longest time spent playing a single game?

[Private Custard]

My housemates realised I wasn't stopping and so ordered me pizza and brought me up fresh orange juice every so often. Aahhh, the long-gone days of being young and stupid, I'm a lot more sensible now.

I want those housemates; letting me get on with gaming while they strive to keep me alive.

I have to say, they were indeed awesome!

We each used to have an xbox and a copy of Morrowind in our bedrooms, and we'd sit and play and shout interesting finds between rooms, occasionally wandering through to see the new house layout or armour configuration.

Good times!

sounds like the perfect house to me

It was a nice way to break myself in, having never lived away from home before.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

Total? Garry's Mod. For some reason when I was younger the absurd amount of gamemodes really amused me.

All at once? Probably Gran Turismo.

I did a 12 Hour race in GT4 in one sitting, and a 24 one in two; Playing for 9 hours, going to bed, playing the rest the morning after.
Yeah.

 

[MirrorSweep]

At once? About 19-20 on Mw2 Multi

In total? Maxed the timer on the original pokemon gold

 

[tehroc]

As of lately, any complete game of Civ. Takes me about 12-14 hours to make a space race victory.

 

[Sargey]

According to my xfire account I played Day of Defeat (not Source) for 1221 hours, and I think the longest I've played in one sitting was either an entire day of DoD (we'd usually play serious, then muck around, then serious again), or maybe a TF2 marathon.

 

[butternut]

I went through all campaigns on L4D1 and 2 in one sitting with my mates, that took about 9- 10 hours

 

[CJMacM]

I played Dragon Age: Origins for at least 12 hours in one sitting, it was addicting and I wanted to beat it so badly

 

[Decum]

Halo 3 team doubles with my friend, 21 hours...

 

[MrShowerHead]

Probably Mass Effect 2, 15 hours

 

[Liedna]

Probably ffix I played that for hours on end only stopping for food and bathroom breaks.
Also Pokemon blue. Because it was portable I could keep playing till the batteries ran out

 

[deadmandancin]

If it's overall time then still FF7 takes it with a healthy 80 hours, if it's in one go, then i played the entire of metal gear 4 in one go cut scenes and all, I started in the morning and around 11 and kept playing till the finish at 7 in the morning the following day... awesome day.

 

[Rattler5150]

It had to be Wolfenstein enemy territory, I did a 5 hour session on one server,

 

[JonnyZOMG]

Halo 3 team doubles with my friend, 21 hours...

I just don't understand how a brain wouldn't switch off during that.

 

[Mikeyfell]

I made a Kajit with 100 on all stats and skills
fucking awesome.

thoroughly impressed with that.

But would be absolutely amazed if that was in one sitting

no, not one sitting, it took me 130 hours

 

[KhaosElement]

One sitting? Somehwre in the the range of 12-16 hours. Pulled an all-nighter with some friends on WoW, yes WoW, go to hell.

Overall? Fallout 3, oh man Fallout 3.

 

[Proctorninja]

35hrs straight fallout 3 thank god the game of the year addition, but now i have to wait for vegas because i did every mission and every karma level, life i have not

 

[C95J]

I made a Kajit with 100 on all stats and skills
fucking awesome.

thoroughly impressed with that.

But would be absolutely amazed if that was in one sitting

no, not one sitting, it took me 130 hours

awww, oh well. Still awesome though

 

[irishstormtrooper]

14 hours playing Borderlands splitscreen with a buddy of mine.

 

[Trivun]

In a single sitting? Probably about four or five hours playing Assassin's Creed 2 the other day, topped off with another five hours playing Halo 3: ODST a few days later. And then since I have nothing else to do later tonight I'll probably do the same tonight...

 

[SimuLord]

In one sitting? 33 hours, Final Fantasy 7. One playthrough from start to finish and I cut a lot of corners.

Overall? According to Steam, Empire: Total War (159 hours), but that's only games I've owned ON STEAM played via their interface. For some reason Fallout 3 doesn't get its time counted on Steam (a damn shame really) but I'd say I've crossed the 200 hour mark with it.

But overall, all-time? I don't know exactly, but Oblivion (at least 800 hours), ESPN College Hoops 2K5 (730 games all played on manual, total of ~600 hours), Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (hundreds of individual games), The Sims 2 (an entire neighborhood built from scratch on a savegame that lasted three and a half years until it got lost in a hard-drive purge due to a virus), a whole bunch of games that have approached or passed the thousand-hour mark.
