I was checking my playtime for Metal Gear Ac!d 2

98 Hours: 55 Minutes: 25 seconds..
Holy Krap@! That' s all within a 2 week period.

The previous title holder was Kingdom of Paradise for the PSP. Put close to 70 hours into that game. Beat the Japanese version first which took me about 20-something hours, so when I got the U.S. version I just ran through it without a problem, beating it 4 times at under 15 hours each time.




(Can hear the Elder Scrolls: Oblivion nuts charging this way)

I really can' t think of many games with timers on them that I played alot
I actually played besides Skies of Arcadia[DC(I know more than 50 maybe 80)GC??]
and Phantasy Star Online(DC??) (GC 500 or so)

Saturn games I know I played alot Snes and genesis Playstation rpgs PS2 stuff

Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door 89:51

on PSO is actually 544:20 with one character I have from 10 to 12
not mention those with the most ours had got erased for one reason or another at
high levels...this looks bad.. OH this in mostly offline

I shouldn' t count PSO as it is not a game with a regular end

I search for stuff and try different things alot in games even BlazingHeroes/Mystaria (like trying to last as long as possible on Juza in the first fight with him in that undergroung place)

In Morrowind, my brother and I managed to clock up 167 hours and 151 hours respectively.

But this looks to be smashed by Oblivion - 60 hours already and I havn' t even started the main quest yet (which is supposedly 40+ hours by itself).

I put around 25 days into my character in world of warcraft, thats my main, my alts have a bit time as well, but not much.

Other than that, im around 15 hours into Oblivion, but thats going to head up, i just dont have time to play a game much over short time

I' ve got something stupid like 30 or so hours in Metroid Prime. I insist that i get absolutely no help from anyone or anything, so i' ll sit there for an hour or so trying to figure it out.

Metroid Prime and Shenmue I and II to name but three.

Recently though Resi Evil 4 on GameCube. Perhaps the all time game of the machine for me.

Ferrari F355 challenge for Sega Dreamcast - I spent so many hours besting my lap times...

Perfect Dark for Nintendo 64 (there was no timer but I' m sure it would have been way over 100h)

Parasite Eve for PlayStation - I did everything there was to do (played through a couple of times) and there was quite a bit ..chrysler building

Ninja Gaiden for Xbox - I kept turning it on, just to kill a few guys again ...

Starfox Adventures for GameCube took me a while and I loved it.Eternal Darkness ...so many great games

Final Fantasy VII had a game-time counter that went up to 99hrs, which my friend claims he clocked twice! Although I played that game a lot too, I never did manage to beat Ruby and Emerald Weapon! [:' (]

My first big obsession was with UFO:Enemy Unknown, which lasted me and my friend at least 6 months of continuous play before we completed it! Full marks for longevity! Then it was probably Morrowind, but I don' t think I can compare to UnluckyOne on this!

FFVII - Yes, you saw it coming. 99+ hours. To be exact because I saw the clock stop at 99:99:99. I' d say about 120-150 hours total. I just don' t see someone clockin the 99 hours twice since I got all of the materia within 150 hours and beat every living enemy in the game.

FFX - Exact time is 149:31:45. I did not get everything because I really didn' t like the game altogether. I only concentrated fully into powering up my characters and all Aeons hitting 99,999 on a regular attack against the first few enemies that the old man creates in the last part to unlock that you can fight when collecting monsters for him.

WoW - Got redundant and repetitive in the end. Wow, I' m at lvl60, what now?!?!? Move on to another character class that I don' t like. Grrr...

Morrowind - Can' t say that I put that much time into it since I had the PC version and used the map editor to create my own place, stuff and mods. Never did like the fighting skills either.

But the best game that I' ve ever had fun putting my time into out of all of the above would have to be the one and only ChronoTrigger. I kept playing it again and again just to keep getting the different endings.

Morrowind, played that one for over 300 hours... never beat the first quest. I don' t really see any other games that I played an unusual amount of time although Oblivion might overtake the previous TES game.

Final Fantasy 7 :(
Its saddens me that i played for hours in that submarine just getting better levels and converting items...for what?

I doesnt want to say numbers but...200+ hours easily.
Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

StarCraft: Brood War wins it for me. I have no idea how much time i' ve put into it but I' ve been playing the greatest RTS of all time online regularly for about 8 years.

I use to come home from school and play zelda link to the past from the minutes i got in till it was late and even worse on the weekends same followed for majora' s mask and wind waker. It' s not good though cos it makes you feel like you' ve missed pieces of your day you ain' t ever gonna get back plus I remember I used to play mortal kombat deadly alliance so much I even dreamt about it (which ain' t good neither). But more recently it' s been need for sped ms and doa4, but they' re finished and i' m waiting for microsoft and nintendo to occupy me with some good games.

I look for nirnroots on my walk to class.

One time me and some friends played Dr. Robotnik' s Mean Bean Machine and Laser Challenge for about 20 hours straight. Whenever I closed my eyes I would see the beans and be playing in my head.

I' m sure you dedicated your life to it just as much as I did for 4 straight years. Did you ever run into me known as Dreadnaught or [MGS] Solid Snake? I usually played the Militia or had a Militia Only server running mostly. But I love those wacky maps that had the crazy vehicles in it on the original CS and not on Source. I like how Source promised a cut down on hacking and people were still able to do it.
