Poll: Time invested into a single game?

[Get_A_Grip_]

Really depends on the game.
Some I may only spend four hours on, other I can spend well over a hundred... And for some games, twenty minutes is enough.

 

[Cogwheel]

Generally not much. Enough to finish a lazy playthrough of it (not a speedrun, but not a completionist one at all, either) if I finish it at all.

Dungeons of Dredmor holds a lifetime record by far, though, at 282 hours.

 

[Weslebear]

On average around 70 ish.

Highest would be:

800+ hours On Oblivion, only made 2 characters as well.

400+ hours on Guild Wars, still playing this bad boy whenever I can.

 

[boxes]

about 500 hours of mw2, and i dont even want to know my wow time. my rule is, minumum 1 dollar=1 hour of time i expect to play it.

 

[Amphoteric]

I've got about 200 hours on Swtor so far.

Usually its no where near that.

 

[zuro64]

The game I have spent most time in is Battlefield 2 with about 340h and that is only online, offline I would say about 150h!

others:
CoD:MW2 :140h
CoD:Black Ops :110H
L4D :60h
L4D2 :40h
Mass Effect :150h
Mass Effect 2 :Still havent finished! I know, I know, shame on me

 

[Drummie666]

My longest is probably TF2, at 197 hours.

I only say TF2 because the consoles don't record that. Both MGS4 and Prototype could have well over 200 hours for all I now. I've played through those two games so many fucking times.

I was surprised to see I had actually played more of Skyrim than I had on Fallout Vegas. I love both of those games and have 200 plus hours on them on steam.

I have been playing wow for 6 or so years so...yeah that's a lot of hours.

 

[Commissar Sae]

For most games its usually under 50, but i do have some longstanding steam games that are running into 200+ territory and one thats heading towards the 600 hour mark. Thank you steam for telling me exactly how much of my life has been wasted playing games

 

[KrossBillNye]

I am surpised there is no 200-300 selection. Right now I am at 230 hours on Skyrim.

But the longest ever is TF2 at 1254 hours.

No that is not a error.

 

[estoria-etnia]

I've logged over a hundred hours, so far, in Tales of the Abyss. Mostly it's due to grinding and trying to fulfill all of the side-quests (and I missed one and am now very pissed off about that.) I've also probably got a good 80 to 100 hours in Final Fantasy XIII, also due to grinding because, well, that's sort of what I do.

Probably should add that these are on a single playthrough ? in total, I've probably played over 400 hours worth of Tales of the Abyss since I'm on my third play-through of the game.

 

[Freaky Lou]

Oblivion was the first open-world game I'd ever played, so I was blown away and played it into the ground. Probably over 300 hours on that game.

I've played New Vegas for exactly 208 hours so far. Many more to come as I've just started up a new save file and installed Old World Blues.

 

[Primus1985]

Well I tend to mostly play big sandbox style RPGs/Action games, i.e. Anything made by Bethesda or Rockstar. I could almost say the same for Bioware as I like many of their titles but they only have 2 that are mostly sandbox, KOTOR1 and the ME series. Dragon age(1) was quite short I felt and restrictive, since 2 was going to be even smaller I skipped it. Just Cause 2 and Fable3
are also good examples

Anyway... Bethesda RPG's can get hundreds of hours of play for me, without the DLC's. I logged almost 200 hours in Fallout: New Vegas before I forced myself to stop for awhile. I was so badass I decided to wait till all the DLCs where out before continueing, but then Skyrim came out...

Currently spending alot of time out of game in Skyrim because im not only cross-referenceing my strat guide and marking my map for the best Items and powers but looking up all the glitchs and cheats that people have come up with. Thats when you know a game has hooked you, even when your not playing your constatly thinking about it...

 

[Sixcess]

Under 50 on most single player games, though if I finally get around to doing my 'optimal' play throughs of Mass Effect 1/2 before 3 comes out that'll push them over.

Over 50 in MMOs, predictably, and the occassional single player game that I absolutely love - Doom and Minecraft being two that come to mind.

Not sure what my most played game would be - probably a 2 way race between City of Heroes and Minecraft, with Fallen Earth and Doom not far behind.

 

[RuralGamer]

I've played the following over 400 hours;
Fallout 3
Mass Effect
Oblivion
Age of Empires 3
Battlefield 2
Company of Heroes
KOTORs 1 & 2
And possibly Dawn of War and Rainbow Six: Vegas 2

 

[Vanbael]

100-200 hours, normally. 250+ if I really like the game.

 

[Shavon513]

Any rpg's I tend to replay, logging between 100 -200 hours. If it's a shooter, or action-oriented game, I tend not to play it for more than 50 hours.
