Longest time spent playing a game?

[Prozoquel]

Sweet Jesus, I can't compete with some of these posters here, but I still thought mine was impressive (or sad.) Eight hours straight on Earthbound, gained a whole lot of levels and got through all the weird sections towards the end.

Me and a friend of mine have been planning to beat the original Halo in one sitting on Legendary, I guessing that'll take at least ten hours and a few bags of Doritos.

My personal record for was 9 hours and I thought I was crazy.

Shit! Someone did 30 hours! I once had to stay awake for 30 hours (mostly for study) and could barely speak coherently at the end.

Overall I played FFX for... like 350 hours... sad, but I was a freaky 12 year old you know, and longest I've every played straight was actually 43 hours, I remember because I hold it as a personal best for video game playing staying up, it was for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

 

[RubberChickenMan]

One day I played 7-8 hours of "no more heroes."

normaly i cant play more than 2 hours.

 

[Fire Daemon]

Like...6 hours on Gears of War multiplayer.

I feel so weak now.

 

[stompy]

Woah, and I thought I was excessive... I reckon the most I've every played in one sitting would be 10 hours. I'm the type to play 3-4 hours, then have a break for ~30min, then get back to it.

I once beat Shadow of the Colossus from start to finish in one sitting: 16 hours

 

[poleboy]

I think 14-16 hours is probably my record. This includes bathroom breaks. Most meals eaten in front of the screen. Longer than that and I get headaches, so I don't try.

I once spent a week playing peggle.

I once spent a week playing peggle.

In a row? If so, woah, dude... how?

PS:

I actually got a 2 day ban because Jagex was "concerned" for my health.

LOL. I can't actually believe they'd do that... still, LOL...

 

[Irrok the Wide]

I don't remember exact hours but I know I played Shenmue II from evening ~night ~morning ~noon. I thought I was finished when I passed kowloon. It was so surreal, walking for hours with that chick, arriving at that house, having supper. I felt strange.

 

[klarax]

not sure, lemme get back to you on this one

Edit: i do remember playing dino crisis all the way through cos i didnt have a memory card at the time, but that was a short game.

But looking back on my gaming days, i remember playing all night on some of the old classics like zelda etc...

 

[TheMadDoctorsCat]

Warcraft 2. 'Nuff said. Although Street Fighter 2 took up a decade or so as well...

 

[The Rusk]

Cheers guys. Keep up the posting. It's all making me feel less ashamed

DemonicDJ is taking the lead at the moment with his excessive 72 hours on GTA San Andreas. That said wilsonscrazybed claims to have played peggle for a week, though unless he says otherwise I'm not going to count that as one sitting.

Btw I know I didn't mention it was going to be a competition but I thought it might make it more fun.

 

[Daymo]

11 hours on ff12 and i felt bad about it, but after reading this topic i might go for a new PB. Got a four day weekend coming up.

 

[the monopoly guy]

i have beaten Half life 2 10 times now, and when I first got the orange box I played it well over 40 hours (not straight, there was some sleep in there)

 

[slaygore]

Damn some people are crazy.

The longest I played in one sitting is God of War 2 for 26 hours. And apparently I've played .hack//GU for 635 hours.

 

[PedroSteckecilo]

I got through the 70+ Hours of Suikoden V in under 2 weeks, I'd consider that a FAST play through, for me anyway.

 

[laikenf]

22 hrs. straight playing Final Fasntasy 2 when it came out.
