Thread: Your longest gaming marathon?

  1. #1

    Default Your longest gaming marathon?

    A few weeks ago i found myself on vacation from work with two weeks off, and a few games that needed playing.

    During those weeks i found myself playing Resident Evil 4 from midnight to noon one night. Thats 12 hours of straight gaming, which i couldnt believe i did after it was over.

    Then about a week later i found myself playing Final Fantasy Tactics from about 6pm one night to around noon the next morning. That one clocks in around 18 hours!

    Obviously, i took bathroom breaks, snack breaks, and breaks for breakfast, dinner, etc, but those are still my records.

    So anyone else have some marathon gaming sessions like this? And if so than with what games?

    Once, I made over 20 and a half hours on FF8. I made it halfway into the second disc.

    >>> The first time I played FF9 I went crazy, I cant remember for how many hours or days I played it non stop, I think I just made short breaks for eat and go to the bathroom..

    I don't know about console games, but on an MMORPG I pulled off an 18 hour run. My character was almost complete, though, so I got a bit too excited. It's been nearly two years since I've done that. I don't think I'd ever do it again. :mog:

    Ragnarok Online and WoW have done it to me.

    RO was...nigh-on constant during a month or two, finish the game at 6am, up at 12pm, play all day.

    WoW was when trying to get from 39 to 40 on one character, I spent about 12 hours, and another was 34 to 36, which I think I spent about 10 hours on.

    Tekken 3 with mates, 11pm till about 2pm next day ( somewhere around that), We stripped every bit of Goodness out of it, and that was the first time we drank alot, we felt Ill around 2pm next day and felt it was time we stopped, maybe not as long as some of the ones mentioned, but that was the longest Gaming Marathon Ive ever done, if its solo, then I put in a good 6-8 hours into Dark Chronicle, only one of two breaks.

    I beat most games faster than other people so I could never rack up the huge times that some people do. I also have a job and stuff so I have this 10 hour gap every day that can't be filled with gaming

    Oh yeah...the time. I will guesstimate between 8 and 12 hours. Who really knows??!!?!

    I think it's only three hours, playing Call of Duty: United Offensive's Multiplayer mode. I rarely play games for extended periods of time.

    It was playing Digimon World 4 with a kick ass friend. We got the bright idea of going after the signiture weapons for both our characters (Beelzemon and WarGreymon). For those of you who don't know, you have to beat the Hard Difficulty w/out turning of the power and then go to the very first area and fight "King" Numemon.
    The Dreadnought took over an hour to get through, both times. We almost died fighting the final boss. We leveled up alot. We started Sunday morning around Lv. 110 and finished Monday morning at Lv. 137 (Beelzemon, Me) and Lv. 133 (WarGreymon, Friend). Sure, that may be enough for some people, but not us. We started a game in Ultra Hard difficulty and made it to Apakarimon (Boss of Death Valley), before we realized we were tired.

    Two and a half days. I can't remember what game I played. Infact I can't remember anything at all from those hours...
    There is no signature here. Move along.

    Probably 18 hours? Something around that.

    I have no idea what on. I have a suspicion it was when I first got Xenogears, though.
