Whats the longest time you've played any game for?

For me it would be any Final Fantasy game, probably for about three hours at the most. The training makes the time fly by.

What are your views on this? Discuss.

I spend entirely too much time playing games. :p

Although, I suppose the most I played was sunup to sundown of FFI DoS. Beat it in a day. (It's that easy. ><; )

I once spent nearly 7 hours on Beyond Good and Evil but I don't know if I took breaks or not. I can do 2 hours plus straight on ff games.

Ive played FFVII all night one time, dunno how many hours exact, but I'd say around 10 hours. Most unhealthy thing ive done to my PSX.

Probably my first time playing FF7. I went crazy, and I couldn't get enough. :p

Lately it hasn't been that often, but when I get really into a game it's usually 4 hours (atleast 3 times a week) ti'll I beat it.

A day is the most time I have spent playing a video game, but I voted 2 hours because I'm stupid. :)

more than 5 hours, only if the game is really good and hey, it's not a work/school day, xD...

I played FFVI for a day once and that was the longest. I played video games a lot when I was a kid, now I play for maybe a couple hours sometimes not at all for a few weeks.

Err, sometimes when I re-play through an RPG, I spend nearly the whole day playing it. If it's a new game, I'll try and pace myself.

Other than that, I have spent full days on FFXI, every now and then.

One time I spent 6 hours on FFX. . .

But usually, 4 hours at the latest.

I once spent 9 hours and 47 minutes playing FFVII straight. Only ever put the controller down long enough for bathroom breaks. Then there was a summer where I spent god knows how long playing Starcraft online most days. It wouldn't have come near the almost 10 hour mark though. Might have been in he 6-7 hour range some days, probably much less most days.

I never go more than 3 hours and 30 minutes because my parents would nag me.

Where's the "too long for my own good" option?

I assume you're asking for the longest single stretch you've spent playing a single game?

Mine is pobably in the region of 8 hours, on various games; WoW, Xenogears, and X-Com are the ones which come to mind. X-Com is probably longer than that, actually, maybe up at about 11 hours.

Counting the time at work, (which isn't technically 'playing' a game, but whatever), probably about 14 hours with an hour or so break in the middle. I believe the game was either Chicken Little or Narnia.

For just pure enjoyment, probably around 8 or 9 hours would be my longest.

It's either Chrono Cross or Guild Wars, each around 7 hours or so.

Of course it was FFVII for you Dreddz. Was that the start of your obsession with Heideggar?

Anyway, I spent about 5 hours playing Advance Wars DS when I first got it.

11 hours every day, and I get paid to do it as well.

I've never played a game constantly for more than 4-5 hours i'll always take a break. If I really like a game i'll be back on it after a couple of hours.

Well when I first got FFX, at the weekend I played it from 11AM to 7:30AM the next day so thats 16 hours 30mins I think.

And I played Kingdom Hearts I from 7PM to 6:30AM the next day

I rarely sleep at night, so I start playing at around 11 or 12, and go to sleep at around 5 or whenever the sun starts to come up. I say thats around 6 or 7 hours.

From reading this forum I can see I still have everyone beat, with 23 hours straight. My wife was gone on vacation and I never told her :laugh:

There's times where I'll sit down and play a game for 11 or 12 hours straight. That's the longest I've ever played games (or at least the longest time that I kept track of time).
