Longest time spent playing a game?

[friedmetroid]

10 Hours on Sonic Adventure 2 of all things...

I had to stay up all night for a brainwave scan and I had nothing else to do... so me and a friend spent all night trying to beat that game when we were both so tired we could hardly think :|

 

[Onimus]

I played Tales of Symphonia for 12 hours straight.Doesnt compare to some other peoples feats however.

 

[M0rp43vs]

First time on GTA:SA, got my guy from stupid, meek loser to rip, genocidal gangsta. and all in somewhere over 17 hours.

(more recently) Playing persona 3, turnbased, crappy music and occasional weak voice acting(take note that I am at least tolerant of JRPG's so this may be objective. "weak" and "occasional" to me may be "terrible" and "the whole game" to others) but It was still fun(to me), captivating and addictive(immersion) that I started at 10 in the morning and didn't notice it was 10 at night when I decided to stop

Longest I ever went was when me and a friend had a levelling challenge on WoW, levelling alts from 1-whatever until we fell asleep. I locked myself in my room for it, came out only for toilet breaks.

He fell asleep at around the 54 hour mark... but I had a secret weapon, this drink called Star Cola (now taken off the shelves in England due to EXCESSIVE sugar and E numbers) which is literally better than energy drinks. Sugar rush galore.

The last time I remember checking the time I was at 69 hours... and then I remember waking up about 14 hours later in my bed.

Longest I've stayed up in my life is only 3 hours more than that, and that was New Year's 2002/2003. I don't recommend it, after about 30 hours you start experiencing what's called micro-sleep, where you literally almost go on standby for a second, 'waking up' after a few seconds of inactivity.

After about 50 hours you make NO sense and are literally focused so much on what you're doing that the time starts to slip by.

After the 60 mark I got really grumpy and agitated easily, however this KINDA helped stay up since it got my adrenaline running a bit.

70 hours is pass-out stage. Any time after this, your body can literally just decide it's had anough and shut down.

when i got kotor i played that for over 8 hours in a row. my best friend once played crono trigger almost 3 days straight over a weekend so he could beat it. he didnt have a snes and rented one for the weekend just so he could beat crono when it first came out.

 

[J9387]

20 hour marathon of EVE-Online. Went on three pirating ops with various corpmates, went mining on an alt, and dinked around on the test server.

Never again...

I've had a few all night sprees on halo3 and cod4, along with what I believe is 1 30 hour straight session of oblivion. Then theres an ungodly number of times I've spent 15-20 hours or more at a time playing wow...this is mainly during the winter so it's not like I'm denying offers to hang out with friends and go play a game of football or anything.

edit: I forgot the complete hardcore run on Mass Effect I did in one sitting, I still refuse to go through on insanity, I love John Shepard, Wrex, and Garrus too much for that.

 

[Xzen]

I was having a competition with a mate and I think i spent around 26/27 hours on CS:S in one sitting. Excluding smuggling food from the fridge and the nature breaks.

 

[bulletproof12]

my solo record is probably like 14 hours on BF;BC playing multiplayer, and with friends about 28 hours playing halo 2. go over to friends house with 2 xboxs going at around 6, get home the next day around 1 with no sleep. i have done that one a couple times but games usualy end up being swaped cause we OD'd on halo and needed some farcy map editor in there to fill the time.

 

[IpcressFiles]

22 hours straight on WoW. No wonder my life fell apart round about that time . . .

The worst thing was that I wanted to keep playing, but my eyes conked out on me, so for the last hour I couldn't see anything. Truly, truly sad. . .

 

[klc0100]

apparently when I look at my Pokemon blue its says i have spent 239 days playing it. 239 days playing on the game that only used 3 colors and had written speech.






























it was worth it

 

[pieeater911]

A few of my friends and I played Team Fortress 2 for about fourteen hours, then we jumped into Call of Duty 4 for about six or so, then we played about an hour of Gears of War before I fell asleep at the controller. Fun night/day.
But my solo record is probably about twelve hours or so on either Mass effect or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.

 

[CodeChrono]

Let's see here. (*goes to check memory card saves*)

Final Fantasy X-2: I probably played for 3 days straight when it first came out. Keep in mind that I was in the middle of middle school during this time, and had zero friends or a personality. Yes, I did in fact enjoy this game!

Final Fantasy X: Total time is 476 hours. Let me qualify this. Me and my buddies in high school made this little bet. Whoever could get all their characters around the sphere grid and beat the big monster area boss first would win and get to pick our new "obsession" (games that we all played together at the same time). Unfortunetely, I had a life by this time and lost that little bet (our new obsession was Super Smash Brothers Meele). But I did contine and eventually get the best party I could possibly hope for, and I made my own "Ultimate Weapons" as well as max out the aeons and all that other fun stuff.

Suikoden IV: Played it every day for about 5 days until my party was at top level and had all the best items and the best runes. :O

Suikoden V: Darn. I loved this game a lot! But by the time I found it I had a job and a life, thus making it impossible to go for a long period of time. But I played it probably one or two hours when I could manage the time. I never actually beat the game, because my little sister stepped on the disc and I couldn't afford to replace it, and now I can't find the game. I want it really badly.

Radiata Stories: Not really much of an accomplishment, but I did beat the game on a three-day weekend party with my friends.

one time at my friends house when i was sleeping over there he was talking about staying up all night but fell asleep at about 11:30 lol and i was bored and i started to play heros of might and magic 4 on his computer untill 9am when i stated hitting him to wake him up so we could do something else. i didnt finish the game i started it was a 6 player FFA on hard and only 1 player had been knocked out at that point...

 

[Mephilese]

If we're talking with breaks, I've just clocked up 500 hours on Oblivion.

 

[Reaperman Wompa]

28 hours, not the greatest but i believe i can officially call myself a gamer.

 

[Mr. Purple]

I don't know how long consecutively, but i've been to a few LAN parties for like Halo, and Gears and stuff so that'd be like at least 10 hours.

But ive spent sooooooooo many hours overall on a few choice games...

 

[Erana]

Only 14 hours, on Fiesta.
I was unable to attend a Valentines Day event at the last minute, but the GM gave me the contestants' prize, anyway. I was one of twenty-four people in the entire MMORPG to have the permenant outfit. Boy, did I dance the night away. And I earned the "Monster Joke Punchline" title entirely on accident, which is nigh impossible with clerics...
...
.....
Leave me to my joyful delusions. Shoo!

190 hours put into one Oblivion game total. Then another 50 or so on a second. About four months playing. The longest individual sitting was one that lasted four days technically, although it was paused for ten hours of that for eating/ bathroom/ passing out. It had been a bad week...

 

[Phoenixlight]

12 Hours Straight raiding then grinding on World Of Warcraft
