Is this any console if so i would say something from the dragon quest series. for example dragon quest 8 for the ps2 despite only having a few side quests take 300+ hours to beat as the story line is so long and engaging also the map is huge for an RPG and takes up to 30 hours to walk all of the world luckily there are other means of transport.
i would also have to say oblivion ive had it a year and have only got 7 hours on it cause its boring as hell but if you were to go over it all im sure it would take a few hundred hours.
ok longest ive played so far is something from the disgaea series preferably the ds one. the highest level is 9999 and it can take about a month to level up from 120 to 121 so if you can get to the highest level it would take 2000+ hours i have about 1500+ hours on it and am level 4627 with my highest character. you can have as many characters in your army as you want you can just get more and more teammates... so to 100% would take more time than i have to live :p...
there arent any particularly long xbox 360 games besides the sandbox games and the open ended rpgs sadly the gamplay in fallout and oblivion let the game down as the enemies have no ai and so combat feels "wrong" as they just run towards you and hit you. if you took the length of fallout and the gameplay of rage itd be awesome.
obviously final fantasy 7...
oh yeh psps monster hunter seems to rack up the hours trying to get that new armour or whatever. in the first week i got it just playing at night i must have got 32+ hours now if i put all my saves together i have 600+ hours definetly worth "getting into" as the game sucks at the beggining but after your first plesioth youll be hooked.
hehe pokemon too... its great to be able to just go back to it whenever and just take down the leaague for fun with your beloved arbok :p...
oh and for me sonic adventure 2 battle for the gamecube as there is a side story where you can raise small creatures called chao with chao drives collected from the various levels and you can raise the chaos to look however you want any colour, shape, or temperment. i mean its a little pointless and childish but always fun and rewarding.
oh and ive played many games so trust me these are the real hour killers...

If we toss out dull, procedurally-generated stuff like Daggerfall, then Morrowind and the Baldur's Gate games, for sure. Like someone else mentioned, it's best to look at all the Baldur's Gate games as one long story. Same engine, same mechanics, same characters, same PC character.

Baldur's Gate 2 alone is a 60-100 hour game, depending on how much you do, and it never has a dull moment. There's just that much content.

I've put a couple hundred hours into DA:Origins. And DA2. So... I really like Dragon age? ;-)

Morrowind's probably the game I've sunk most hours into, and I doubt I'll ever play a single game more. But even with mods I found it hard to get back into again, so that games been clocked, so to speak.

Silent Hunter IV.

I shit you not, I started the game with the promise that i would stop as soon ans i died once(only save in harbor) - that was in 1941 - now I'm in late 1944 and has sunk over 600.000 tons of shipping and i have played it for 9 months.

Even had one single patrol last 11 hours - a totally insane patrol where i shifted between glee over torpedoing a fat troop transports to complete panic from deep charge attacks.. came home with 62000 tons under the belt though :p

Funny, I thought JRPGs were generally the longest. I logged 99 hours on FF7, and that's just because that's where the timer stops.

I've put in 100+ hours to Fallout 3 and still did not see absolute everything. I think that is my longest. I played some of the Total war games for almost 200 hours, but that has been over several campaigns.

A mate of mine put in 300+ hours to Just Cause 2 and is only 99.6% complete.

Gotta be one of the elder scrolls, right? You can pour hundreds of hours into those games and still only discover half of it. Not to mention user made content.

I'm an Oblivion man myself, mostly because I own it, and when I played Morrorwind there was some bugs that made the game unplayable (though I guess I still consider it the superior game in theory). I've got over 70 hours of gameplay with my character. I've completed the main quest, a bunch of sub quests and the Mage Guild questlines, I still have all the other guilds and two expansion packs to get through. I don't play it that often, but every month or so I get a hankering, and then I play all day for like a week. Once you start playing, you're garanteed to lose atleast three hours.
I got 50 hours. Done Main quest, Dark brotherhood, Thieves guild, and Knights of the Nine. I am now heading for shivering isles. And I love this game.

Wow... I really wish I could say Monster Hunter... That game has about 300 hours of my life sucked into it. But that was with friends.
