It' s a tough question to answer, but of all the systems you' ve owned, and all the games you' ve played.

What one game have you clocked the most hours in?

I' d like to say Final Fantasy 7, but it' s actually more likely to be Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter on 360 as long as i can include the time spent playing online.

Myself, i think i' ve played the original sonic the hedgehog to much, the cart was brittle and i has to buy a new one.

Must have been nearly 4 full years of playing that game, and i don' t mean from time to time, i mean if you calulated ever hour,minutes and second in a four year span, that' s how much i played that game before my genesis gave out.

The great ones never die.

That' s a hard question to answer. I' ve spent uncalculated hours on so many games. When I find a game I love it' s hard to stop playing....

If the question was about a game series, Street Fighter would win hands down...


But a single title, I' m thinking Morrowind.

I got it when it came out on Xbox...beat it, beat it again. Then I wanted more, so i went out and got the PC version. Beat it, got both extensions, beat it again with each one.

Then I gave away all my discs to a guy at work who was desperate for something to play.

3 months later, I bought it again and the cycle continued. Honestly, the only reason I stopped was because my install got screwed up somehow, and there' s one essential character who makes the game freeze when I play now.

I still have that game saved though...I' m gonna reinstall the bloodmoon expansion whenever I get around to it, since my PC sucks ass and I can' t play Oblivion.

Mine would be Heroes of Might and Magic - just got totally hooked!

I managed to clock up over 300+ hours on Ninja Gaiden, that was in 2004.

I could not help but just PLAY THE GAME!!!!!

Quake III, easily...

Impossible question for me to answer.. I can only list a few games across different platforms:

Arcades: Space Harrier, Super Hang-On, The Shanghai Kid, and WWF Superstars

PSP: Metal Gear Ac!d 2 (Game clock says that I put in about 110 hours into the game, and that was all in under 1 month), WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2006

Sega Saturn: Salamander 2 from Salamander Deluxe Pack Plus

Dreamcast: Giant Gram, Sonic Adventure, Ikaruga, Giga Wing

GameCube: Resident Evil 4 (Beat it 5 times.. The ONLY Resident Evil game I' ve replayed after completing it)

PS2: Gradius V

World of warcraft,warcraft3,starcraft or FF7,but probably World of warcraft.

Statistically, it must be No Mercy on the N64.

Right from the day it came out I would play it very often. I don' t think I' ve been as devoted as that to a game before or since. The single-player, the multi-player, it rocked on both accounts. I would still get into other games, but I would get back to NM every now and then. I think I might get back into it, I' ve got a few ideas for some new characters I could brew up...

After that it must be Secret of Mana on the SNES. I loved that game. I vowed to level up all my characters to 100 but never got round to doing so.

Then it' s Zelda:Ocarina of Time. I think I' ve completed it six times now.

And recently I completed Resident Evil 4 four times. That' s quite an achievement for me because nowadays I find it hard to make time to complete most games even once.

A game like Secret of Mana for example I think I would find difficult to get into if it came out now, because I just don' t have the time to invest into a game like that to get the feel for it. It' s sad because I' ve got a copy of Vagrant Story sitting about but I just can' t bring myself to play it. Instead I get distracted by some easy to play arcadey game on my Xbox.

Alright, while it may be sad. Last year, I clocked over 25 hours on Call of Duty: Finest Hour for my Gamecube. I wasn' t aware it was online capable on the other consoles, and I was desperate for shooters. but for all the other consoles...

Dreamcast
Jet Set Radio (too many hours)

PS2
MGS3: Subsistence (something like 20)
Jak & Daxter (once again, way too many hours)

Xbox
Halo (maybe 10 hours, which is alot, considering I have no Xbox

SNES
Starfox

I' v played a lot of games so it' s really hard to say, but this seems accurate.


N64: Probably Goldeneye (around 200-300 hours)

Gamecube: Gotta be SSBM (around 200-250 hours)

Xbox: Probably Jade Empire (around 50 hours)

Xbox360: Most Likely Oblivion, but maybe PDZ (around 70 hours), (around 50-100 hours)

Overall would have to be StarCraft: Brood War on the PC. Back in ' 98 or whenever it came out I' d usually play for about 2 hours every day online which was kind of a big deal since it tied up the phone lines from being on dial up. I kept that up for about 5 years. I still play it but usually only an hour or two every week.

Sega Genesis - Dr. Robotnik' s Mean Bean Machine
Xbox - Halo 2
Xbox 360 - Project Gothem Racing 3 probably, it is pretty close between that, PDZ and Oblivion. Halo 2 on xbox 360 will probably pass those soon.
Dreamcast - It' s hard to say on this but probably Phantasy Star Online. I played a ton of differnet games and they all got about equal time.

I' m thinkin, i' m thinkin.
I spent about 80-100 hours with Baten Kaitos on the Gamecube.
Grandia 2 was also kinda lengthy.
Zelda - Windwaker, though i can' t guess how many hours. I played it for several weeks like 5 hours a day, if i remember correctly.

The game that might beat them all could very well be Half-Life 2 Deathmatch. I play this thing a lot. Not in long stretches, but in short intervals (30 to 60 minutes) almost every day since a few months.

I spent about 80-100 hours with Baten Kaitos on the Gamecube.

..... Isn' t that game..... crap?

I dunno, I saw an FMV for it, the opening one, and it made me laugh so much.

Why was the girl running up the building to gain momentum?

She used that to fly off... wouldn' t you lose momentum from that?

Here you go people:

Go to Game intro

Wakka plays a part in it, and there' s also a weird Yoshimitsu kind of thing..

The battle scenes have funky music though..

I' d have to say Diablo II, Phantasy Star Online, World of Warcraft, SSBM, Counter Strike, various Street Fighters.

Baten Kaitos was a okay RPG 85/100 for me...
And the SP with no sidequest along is 56 hours long,or atleast it took me 56 hour to finish that game,so 80 hours doesnt come as a suprice...

Isn' t that game..... crap?

No, it' s not. It has a pretty decent battle system, actually. Storyline and characters are somewhat generic, but i haven' t played that many JRPGs, so it doesn' t really matter to me. Just go read some reviews if you' re interested. I like the game.

The battle scenes have funky music though..

Haha, it' s THE SAME DAMN MUSIC during the whole game. Same battle song, over and over again, with the exception of boss fights. I started to hate it after one third and then started to love it again after another third.

I' ve logged too many hours on these games to count:

Castlevania (NES)

Metroid (NES)

Phantasy Star (SMS)

Shining in the Darkness (Genesis)

Actraiser (SNES)

Goldeneye (N64)

Halo (Xbox)

Mortal Kombat II (arcade)

Worth metioning:

Final Fantasy X (PS2)

Oblivion (360)

Metroid Prime (GC)

There are 2 that i can fondly remember

Shattered Galaxy MMO (Several hours a day, 7 days a week for a couple of months) got so hooked that when i did decide to give it up i vowed no more Online games like this (like WoW etc) EVER!

Civilization i don' t remember which version, needless to say several months of continuous play, even skip university classes (and eventually screwing that up) after finishing that i vowed never to play any Civilization game ever again.

these games RULED my life so i decide to go cold turkey on them.


Other honorable mentions in no particular order -

Mechwarrior Series (every version and some played twice, love that salvage!)

Mechcommander Series (played version 1 at least 5 times, especially trying to salvage those Thor A & Masakari A mechs!)

Sacred (great time waster)

Age of empires 2

Battlefield series (1942, Vietnam, 2, Special Forces in LAN only)

Medieval Total War (conquered all of Europe twice - those uprisings really annoyed the heck out of me)

Counterstrike CZ (LAN)

Close combat series (played through each at least twice)

Dawn of War (& winter assault LAN)

Super Smash Bros & SSBM (unknown hours of chaos!!! Go NESS!!!)

Zelda TOoT & WW (Ranks as one of the best games i have played)
