What's the longest amount of time you have spent playing?

[non-religious]

I own a PC and a 360 and I don't actually play that much. However reading through a games mag the other day i came across an article that talked about "marathon" sessions on a console. One guy spent 24 hrs on his x-box to see if he could do it. He played online for a large % of that time, but did it...

My longest time in one sitting is only about 4-5hrs (pro evo soccer).

What's yours and what game(s) did you play?

When Half-Life 2 came out, my apartment-mate and I started playing at midnight (the moment of release, as the game was front-loaded online) and didn't stop until we had completed the game. I'm not sure how long that took, but it was at least ten hours. We would yell at each other from across the apartment about how awesome the part we were playing through was.

I've played days straight through. Especially when halo 2 came out

Hm about 5 hours over night to finish the first Metal Gear Solid.

I played EQ something like 18 hours once, slept 4 hours then played another 12 or so. It's been a long time so I can't remember for sure but I spent the vast majority of that weekend playing while my wife was out of town. Back then I'd frequently spend 8+ hours a day playing (on work days) and 12-16 hours a day on weekends.

I’ve spent 20+ hours (up to 24 hours) playing games a number of times, mainly playing Ultima Online some years back but at least that long once for EverQuest. Probably a few times a year I’ll play a game for 16 hours straight but most always an mmorpg such as SWG, CoH, PlanetSide, WWIIOL etc… 16+ hours is hard to do any longer though, I usually have something I need to be working on every day.

 

[Hack]

About 4/5 hours on Xenosaga I

 

[Terax]

16 hours on Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess for Wii

 

[Chrome]

i can only say i've played a constant 4-5 hours or so, and this was just about every day, sometimes two or three times a day.

Alas, this was during high school when i had more time, and a game that can never have enough time put into it: Morrowind

When Sims 2 was released, I spent 4-5 hours several days a week. Some of that time I was away from the computer. So, I don't know if it counts.

 

[mike1515]

like 12 hours

 

[MrStaggerLee]

The first time I tried to quit smoking cold turkey, I played FF7 straight through, since I couldn't sleep anyway. 30-some hours, I think. I was pretty zonked by the end of it.

 

[Heartbreaker]

once stayed up until 6 a.m. playing perfect dark for the n64. stayed up til 3-4 a.m. playing halo a few times.

 

[MidnightCandel777]

I lost myself once playing KOTOR II. It was about 2 am when I started....... I.......just......couldn't stop..........

It really didn't seem that long, maybe two hours if I had to guess......... I was grossly wrong. When I looked up, the sun was coming up!

 

[serephim01]

I lost my self in Elder Scroll 3 for 13 hours before the XBOX over heated and crashed.....lost a level 70 character.....saddddd

 

[hiz_child]

Probably around 10-12 hours on ffxi.

 

[bestboy8]

I usually play for 15 to 20 minutes a day. But this one day, I was on the gamecube for like 5 hrs

 

[Safora]

Guild Wars has a reminder that pops up in chat that says "You have been playing for X hours. Please take a break."

I knew I was in trouble when it read..."You have been playing for one day. Please take a break."

The worst part is, I didn't stop then either.

Oblivion is another game that will keep me playing all night.

 

[Shayla1]

probably 5 - 6 hours playing the Sims. That's addicting.

I've been really into paper mario lately.

 

[Deke8402]

I have spent 12 hrs on both KOTOR and KOTOR II, and I think like 10 hrs on Fable: TLC.
