200+ in the average RPG, INSANE amounts if you consider games like WoW (easily over 8000 hours spent in ~6 years)

That is the worst sidequest in the whole game. I've done it maybe twice because its so terrible. I actually don't hate the Mako as much as most, but that's probably because I beeline straight for the objectives. I already know what all the anomalies are and the loot is not worth the drive.
It's a case of "familiarity breeds contempt" with the Mako for me. I used to not mind it so much. But whenever I play the first game now I think, "Why can't I just scan the god damn planet?"

It was only on one of my recent playthroughs that I discovered the planet with Alliance soldiers fighting off Rachni, though. That sort of reignited my will to explore when I play the game. Maybe I missed something else (well...until I looked at the wiki and found that I have seen it all now. I even collected all those damn relics once. Never again with that one. There is a reference to it in ME2 over a news report if you collect the Matriarch's writings. They mention a museum.

I never did collect all those relics. Also, it wasn't until very recently (like 6 months ago) that realized you can save Captain Kirrahe. I cannot even fathom how many times I have played through Virmire and never noticed the little area tucked away on the side of the map with the flying geth turrets. All of my friends were stunned when they realized I didn't know about this considering I played the game more times then all of them combined probably.

Sad too, Virmire is my favorite mission.

EVE Online, I don't really know how much time I've spent on that game but that is definitely more than 400 hours, wonderful game though, shame I don't have time for it anymore, looking forward to setup a routine to get at least a hour a day of EVE

3500++ hrs of Battlefield 2
500++ hrs of BF2142
<2 hrs of Bad Company 2
<1 hour of BF3
(I see a downward trend here.)

A few hundred hours of C&C3, Kanes Wrath and Zero Hour each.

Other (FPS) games vary from the bare minimum of time it takes for a high-skilled player to complete the singleplayer, to [however long the nights were] * [number of nights] back in the day of sleepovers and Halo on the xbox.
Other (non-FPS) games: thirty-fifty-ish.

Plans for this semester: Starcraft 2.

PS: Those of you who have spent more than 2000 hours on a multiplayer game, do you play in organized events/matches/ladders/tournaments? Because you should. :D

In the month or so i've had Skyrim, i've put in over 80 hours. Most games which let me see playtime are at between 20-30 hours, Bioware games are easlily 30-35 hours.

The game I've logged the most time in would be WoW, but I don't play that garbage anymore, so Skyrim is probably the next contender with close to 200 hours. Right now Persona 4 has me addicted, so that may pass by Skyrim.

Can't trank many of them but I'm sure I put near 200 into Rome: Total War. Most of that franchise has been a time vanquisher for me. Right now I've got 87 hours on X-com Apocalypse, not counting time I spent playing it back in the day. It's been over several plays but i still haven't finished the damn thing.

I had over 400 DAYS played-time in WoW before I quit pre-Lich King. No clue what the exact count was but I had over a YEAR played-time before the Burning Crusade even came out so it had to be over 400, probably somewhere around 500.

And I know I have more time played in other non-Steam games like Diablo 2, but as for Steam, my top game is Team Fortress 2 with 820 hours. And that's just since I had to create a new Steam account back in June. Had even more before that in Steam and then even more on PS3 where I first started playing the game when The Orange Box first came out.
