The longest game you've beaten start-to-finish in one sitting.

[endnuen]

Gears of War 2, just when it came out, co-oped it at a friends house.

2 days ago, Diablo 2 and LoD in one go with two friends. Was fun. Next up, same thing, but all 3 difficult settings in one go. Broken up probably by a little sleep/food hunting.

Edit; Oh, and Jedi Knight: Outcast and Jedi Academy, both when they came out. Love me some lightsaber action.

Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time

Don't even ask how I did it....

 

[TheJoojo]

First Call of Duty on hard. Don't remember how long that is though.

 

[eastinfecter]

It would be tied with probably an Armenian campaign in RTW that I finished in one day (nearly the full 24 hours). I had breaks here and there but I never quit the game so I consider that one sitting.

Funny you should mention Rome, because earlier this month I completed a full Julii campaign in one shot---Steam says 18 hours, but I'm thinking it didn't credit me with all of the time because my clock said 25.

Men grow tired of sleep, love, singing and dancing sooner than war.

 

[Starke]

I've done true ending runs of STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl in one sitting, I'm not sure how long that actually amounted to, though.

Though I think, Quantum of Solace is probably the only game I've done a blind single sitting playthrough of.

Generally I try to avoid single sitting playthroughs though. I don't play games as an endurance test, I'd much rather enjoy the experience as a whole. That said I have grinded in one game or another at times for various reasons.

I Beat each MGS games in one sitting here is the time for each one (may not be correct)

MGS 1 in 1:48
MGS 2 in 2:36
MGS 3 in 2:54

 

[mark-the-stampede]

i day i bought condemned 2 bloodshot i finished it in one sitting... late at night....alone..

 

[logiman]

God of War 1..sth like 10 hours (it was the first time I ever played it)
It broke my friend`s console..damned overheating >_>

 

[ICantBelieveItGoesBoom]

Whichever's longer out of Black Ops and Army of Two.

I only had Black Ops rented for 2 days and I was out for the first day so I was NOT missing out on it! As for Army of Two, me and my friend bought it and wanted to see how far we could get in one day. Obviously, we finished it.

Oh, not sure if this counts but me and friend friend did the Endless Setlist on Rock Band in one sitting...Twice. The first time we got to like the 3rd to last song and my friend accidently quit off of it and we had to start it all again the next day. As the drummer and having already done Run To The Hills, pissed barely describes how I felt at him at that point.

 

[liveslowdiefast]

I beat 'rachet in clank 3' on a sick day once, and 'I made a game with zombies in it'. but i think thats it, aside from web games.

 

[Magicman10893]

Custom Robo on the Gamecube. From 6pm on a friday when I got the game to 4am Sunday. It was singlehandedly my favorite game for the Gamecube, and yes, I had Super Smash Bros, Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Sunshine.

 

[LeonLethality]

I beat FFXII International Zodiac Job System, all of the side quests and marks and the best weapon of each class in a single weekend, I sadly had to take breaks for eating and stretching so it is not one sitting.

I didn't sleep though

In all honesty the only thing I have left to do on that game is one man the all judges at once superboss WHICH IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE ARGH

 

[jigilojoe]

Me and a friend managed 1-50 in WoW (BC) in one night, I did Assassin's Creed and Devil May Cry 4 in single sittings.

 

[Stabby Joe]

I play a lot of games but I don't skip on sleep, no, that's just bad for you. As a result most I've done are relatively short games, most likely a few.

The most recent one I can think of is Heavy Rain (8 hours? I forgot) because if it's supposed to be an "interactive movie", I don't watch half a movie and continue another day. No, I watch it in one sitting.

 

[SniperMacFox]

Me and a group of mates played through New Mario Bros Wii in one go, with 4 player multiplayer (Which I highly don't reccomend unless you have really awesome friends.) Once without warp cannon and then the game file corrupted, so we played it again with the warp cannon just to set things straight.

Solo wise, I've beaten Portal in one go but that's as far as I've gone. Kudos to the guys who played all of Half Life in one go.

 

[TyrantGanado]

*adjusts collar*
Resident Evil 2 - pick any scenario, I've one-sitting-ed it. I've one-sitting-ed a whole double scenario a couple of times. Never all four though.

Resident Evil 3 & 4 too.

Metal Gear Solid 2, both chapters. Im pretty sure I've done it with Snake Eater too, but it would have been years ago so I dunno for certain.

Tomb Raider and Tomb Raider II. Not in the same sitting though.

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. From the start to applying Sonnie's RPG make-up all in one go, though I did skip some of the propery missions, I did just enough to unlock the final mission tier.

 

[TundraWolf]

About to fire up New Vegas in an effort to go from Doc Mitchell's house in Goodsprings to sending Lanius packing with a speech check at Hoover Dam/Legate's Camp in one long, glorious end-of-winter-break run. Previous playthroughs have averaged about 40-50 hours each, but since I know the game like the back of my hand now (after nearly 200 hours of total play) and no longer have to go on long exploratory trips to know where I'm going and what I plan to do, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to think I can cut it down to 30-35. If the latter, I would break my previous record, standing since 1998, of 33 straight hours (a Final Fantasy VII run from the Midgar train station to Sephiroth's inglorious demise at the hands of the Knights of the Round, and yes, I managed to shoehorn the Chocobo sidequest into that fast a playthrough---it was probably by then my 14th or 15th time through the game---this New Vegas run is, if I'm keeping score at home, my fourth.)

For Discussion: All there in the topic title. Something short like Portal? Something absurd like getting a World of Warcraft character to max level from level 1?

And yet another fine conversation topic from SimuLord! Let me see now...

The first one that springs to mind is Terminator: Salvation. I picked it up release day with a buddy of mine and we played it through co-op in one sitting. Of course, that only took two to three hours, so I'm not sure that's a legit title to offer to the discussion.

For full-length, reputable games, I have to delve deeper into my memory. I know I've beaten F.E.A.R. in one sitting: a few years back, some friends of mine and I got together to have a "Scary Game Night". I played through the entirety of F.E.A.R., from start to finish all in one sitting, while my friends sat behind me on a couch and watched the screen. It was a great time, and we all had a blast! Even if I had to take a quick break due to a minor nervous breakdown. That game can get messed up, okay?

Otherwise, I think the only other game that comes close is Heavy Rain. I can't remember if I did the entire thing in one sitting, but I can remember everything vividly and I don't recall any breaks between amazing revelations and tough choices. That game was so captivating, it was too hard for me to put it down even for a second.

Also, most recently, I played through almost the entirety of the newest Medal of Honor in one sitting. The entire game, sans final mission, was done in one sitting. Great times.

Every Guild Wars Chapter except the first.
Took usually around 20 hours or something like this ?
I miss the old messages every hour "You have been plaing for 18 hours. Please take a break for your health."
Since that game my attention span is much shorter and I dont really play alot anymore.. I guess the last time I played for a long time was Fallout New Vegas.
