It varies on your attention span and how much you like the game.
TF2? I've got over 700 hours clock and I haven't played it since 2011. Probably the same with league of legends. Reason? They are based around Multiplayer and are as engaging as you like them to be. Same thing goes for games like Madden, Call of Duty etc. These games can draw several hundred hours of gameplay as they designed to play in short bursts whenever you want it.
RPGs are slightly different as they are not designed for short bursts. I'm not going to throw on Xenoblade Chronicles or Tales of Xillia on for 20 minutes. I'll throw them on for 2-3 hours at a time, get lost in the story/gameplay and want to continue to find out more and progress with the story/world i've chosen to invest in (or not in the case of some things like Paper Mario 3DS).
I usually end up spending the same sort of time on games in the same sort of period. I played Mario Kart 8 for 25 hours in it's first 10 days and basically finished it with the exception of one part. Honestly, I had enough fun with it that I wanted to play more but I reached a point where there was no objective so it fell to "Grind out coins to get the Gold Glider" or play online. With my current setting, I have no interest in either of these objectives which is why I don't play online multiplayer games anymore. I set out for a goal and stick with it until it's done. RPGs games usually have a goal which is why I can invest so much time into them. It's also why I don't mind playing them for 100+ hours so long as I can stay interested in them.
The joke is I have a lot of time for games. Long RPG games don't bother me that much.
