How many hours have you logged in a single save file

[Scars Unseen]

Are we including the hours that the game sat idle because I fell asleep playing the game?

I have a habit of clocking in around 200 or so hours of play in games I like. Games I've done that with are:
- Mass Effect
- Pokemon Silver
- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

I haven't even finished Skyrim yet, so the playtime for that will only get higher.

I maxed out the save timer for Final Fantasy VII when I was little. This was back when the rumors of reviving Aerith were still around, and I was trying EVERYTHING. I was also maxing everyone's stats by morphing certain creatures into the sources. My party was a party of gods and the clock read 99:99. I've always remembered that, though I'm sure there are save files where the time is much high nowadays.

Ninja'd already, except it's Final Fantasy VIII. I think the clock might have changed to red, kinda pointing out it won't register any more hours being played.

Close contenders:
-Dragon Age: Origins
-Gotham City Impostors
-Left 4 Dead
-Minecraft

120+ hours in Dragon Quest 8 for the PS2.

I don't know if that is the most hours I have on a game, but it is the top from games that showed it...

Great thread till that guy who clocked like 10 years playing Civ2 pops along and posts his hours spent.

I think my own longest save game would probably be Suikoden, though for the life of me I cant recall a number. All I know is that I spent a lot of time ensuring every single one of the 108 stars of destiny was levelled up to the max, for no reason other than "just because.".

Hi! I'm that guy.

Not Civ 2, but FFXI:

1155 days, 20 hours, 56 minutes.

sooo

27,741 hours (rounded up.) and counting.

250 in Dragon Quest IX
150 in Pokemon Emerald
80 in Oblivion

Likety-like! How did you manage to sink so much time into FFXI though?

Well on the original Devil May Cry 3 the clock stops at 99:99:99 so if I had to guess I'd say 150+ hours.

Won't lie, wasn't always at the keyboard for all of that time. however there's generally always something to do. helping friends, going back through and helping newcomers with missions and such, leveling a new job, even some pvp (did a LOT of this back when it was new and thriving.)

I suppose my first WoW character I got up to 80/85 has the most amount of hours in it.

As for other games, other multiplayer games notwithstanding, I think either my New Vegas character or my second Oblivion save file. Maybe Pokemon Red as well.

I had 715 hours on a single Fallout 3 save file. I fucking loved that game.

But don't you reach the level cap in like 30-40 hours, even with Broken Steel? What the hell keeps people playing these games so freakishly long? My maximum is TF2 at 218 hours, though it doesn't even have save files, so I'll say close to 108 hours on my first Skyrim character. Other than that I very rarely surpass even the 60 hour mark, I just get bored of the same save file.

True but I loved to explore and roleplay in the game. Not just try and hit the level cap.

So did I but I had every nick and corner explored in around 10% of that amount. Ah well, you had fun so yay.

I'm not sure about 1 save file, but steam says I have player more than 300 hours of Fallout New Vegas
