how long have you played a game for in one sitting?

Recommended Posts

Twilight Princess, Super Mario 64 and Metroid Prime

are the ones I remember enjoying for more than 10 hours straight. Not many games have this effect on me.

I don't like playing games for particularly long periods of time, but I think the longest i've ever played a game in one sitting was when I played about 5 hours for a Nintendo run competition with Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour, to which I am awaiting a follow up on Wii...

First time I played Metal Gear Solid I had an 18 hour session at it!

I'm not even sure why it took me that long to finish it, I got really stuck.

Ah I miss my gap year.

Twilight Princess... booked a whole week off work for the release of the Wii... I played it through non-stop for at least 26hrs, I remember not wanting to come off it at all!

 

So I got a few hours sleep... maybe 4 or 5... then played it through until completion... 47hrs game time completed. Then I carried on playing to find heart containers and poes... only got 3 more heart pieces and 2 poes to find until I've got it all!

Alone I think it was UFO enemy unknown.. i played the whole night easily 9 - 10 hours straight..

 

these days I play for max around 2 - 3 hours in one sitting

16hr session on Monkey Island 2: Le Chucks Revenge.

 

God Damn that special Green Grog concoction and having to wait for the wind flag to blow the correct way to win the spitting contest.

Ahh the days of completing games before internet walkthroughs.

 

Frustrating yet rewarding times!

My game was Fifa 2000 on the PC. It was on New Years Eve, and I started at about midday and didn't finish until about quarter to midnight.

 

It was seriously addictive. I do love my footie games, me. :)

Well I got to like 4am and I remember been close to the end of Disc3, so I thought fuck it I'm finishing Disc 3, then someone told me 4 was like a really long ending, so I did that too! :D

I remember playing around 6 hours of Doom multiplayer at Uni, and walking to the busstop afterward i kept seeing those invisible pig baddies running after all the cars & biting at them.

My first session with Fable lasted 8 hours, and I remember playing Eternal Darkness for some 12 hours or so, from about 10 at night right through until 10 in the morning. :indeed:

Man, i can't wait for the next game i can play for so long in one sitting. It's so awesome.

 

Most recently was HL2/The Episodes. 3/4 hours non-stop. Not really that much compared to other times.

5-6 hours of Zelda: Twilight Princess on Christmas afternoon. Was magical.

 

Also, about 8 hours of GH3 the other day according to my Wii message board (may have been left on or someone else may have played though).

WoW... no break, eating, toilet (or eating a toilet) for about 8hrs I think. That included the night we actually broke into the alliance nooby area and charged one of the alliance cities. We were level 35ish and felt sooooo big.

I think for me I played either smash bros, MGS2, FIFA, or pokemon for far too long without stopping
