How long do they normally last and for what games? I'll play counterstrike or tf2 for about an hour and a half before I start to lose interest. I find I can play single player games for longer periods than multiplayer games due to the developing storyline and the anticipation of whats going to happen next.

God I hate singleplayer games. I just am so competitive I guess, that multiplayer is all I can play.
Anyway I haven't played any games lately, but I would usually go on long binges, playing for hours at a time.

Hmm. I don`t really know.
I can play a game for 15 minutes and get sick of it, or I can sit for 12 hours while the time flies. Depends on the game.

Yeah, depends on the game; I much prefer single players myself, a good story and good gameplay has seen me spend 8 hours plus in a single session. Online games not so much, I've played css for 3 hours before but I think that's the max.

God, I used to be able to play COD4 for three or four hours at a time. Now, I might be able to squeeze out an hour.

My gaming sessions can last up to anywhere from 12 to 24 hours. Yeah, it's been done before, many many times, but thats when I plan for like "Okay, fuck everything today. I'm playing games. It's me day." You know?
But generally, they can last for a good 5 hours, give or take a few.
At work, if I'm really lucky and am just pulling security for a structure that's closed that day, I can get a good 12 to 14 hours on my DS. :]

I loose my sense of time while playing single player games (with the exception of Anarchy Online for multiplayer) and it can last up to like 6-8 hours due to me wanting to find out what happens next in the story.

It depends really. If the game is new to me I'll play longer. But for instance like TF2. If someone is like really good and killing me, I'll get fustrated and leave and browse the web or something.
I have done a 8 hour Empire Earth Comp Stomp LAN party. Man.. that was fun.

How can anyone play a game for 8 hours plus? I can play for an hour, 90 minuets max. Then I just get bored, no matter what I'm playing.

Depends on what I am doing. If I am alone at home, approx an hour. But drinking or getting stoned with mates and We can play for 5+ hours.

People who only play to beat their friends online and don't have the attention span for 1 hour of gaming are what's ruining games today.

Back when I was a high school stoner, we'd get together at a friend's house who had a floor entirely to himself. We'd spend there days being high and playing video games. Once we played Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast for like an entire day and half way through the night, and only using Voldo. Or the entire 24 hours endurance of the Le Mans 24 Hours game (PC, not the PS2 piece of shit). But most of all we played Half Life Deathmatch, only crossfire. Fun times.
Nowadays, I play for like a half hour before I get bored.

Wow, what an idiot.
Explain to me how I'm ruining your single-player games by only liking multiplayer games? Also, if you didn't notice, we don't like 4channers around here, so I'd stop using they're gay ass lingo. Not to mention, it's almost a guarantee I've been around longer than you, so you're using it incorrectly on top of that.

The only game I play for a long time besides games that I want to know the story about is civilization.
God I love that game. I can play it for days on end.

These days not very long.
I play them until I realize they're not offering anything I haven't done in a game before. Sometimes if it's got good graphics and control I just hack it so I can go on a killing spree with immunity.
I can generally tell how interesting a game will be within the first hour and usually know how it will end by that time as well.

World of Warcraft: 12-24 when dedicated to doing something.
Normally, 3-4 hours for shooters. 5-6 for RPGs (Morrowind, Oblivion.)

I've played SSBM up to 20 hours at a tournament, we were all riding on adderal at the time.
Yesterday I played dota for 14 hours at the cafe, but compared to one guy I know who played cs for 52 hours this is childs play.

Usually I lose interest within a half hour to hour depends really especially since I am used to smoking in my house which I can no longer do (have to go downstairs) and drinking always extends gaming time.
If its multiplayer usually 1-2 hours.
I played Forza 2 for 4 hours yesterday

Usually depends on how much free time I have and if anyone interupts me. I can game for about 8 hours and then get all bug eyed and stop. Usually I can go for about an hour before i have to stop

Depends on how good a server I can find on a multiplayer game. I remember I found a good one in CSS, and it was 4:00 pm. I looked at the clock 5 minutes later, and it was 1:30 am.

What the fuck? Are you so fucking retarded you can't tell time? If you started at four and then looked at the clock and it read 1:30, then it was a hell of a lot longer than 5 minutes dumbass.

Only problem I have with saints row 2 is the vehicles, give it gta4 vehicles and engine and saints row wins but for replay value to me gta4 is a game you can get on and zone out running from cops and just "crusin" around making colossal traffic jams.
As for Call of Duty 4 I would sit and play that for 6+ hours easily just sitting all dark TV glowing laying down sniper in hand looking for those kills that make you watch your kill cam and you watch yourself die to just lower and shake your head going wow that was a BS shot heh.

Tell you the truth
i loved gta 4 the first day i had it and after that i couldnt get back into it at all after i started playing siants row 2
granted the vehicles are much better on gta 4
replay value is higher in saints row 2

I don't really play any games anymore except for the occasional hour of GTA, but when I was into Counter-Strike and WoW... Well...
5-12 hours a day...

I used to be able to play Diablo II from like 7 PM to 3 AM with no major incident..
Nowadays I only really like a select few games, and they're mostly Single Player. I'll play for an hour or two.

I got the 50 hour nonstop play achievement for Viva Pinata. I rule.
Apart from that, half an hour to an hour at most is all I can fit in / stand, unless I just got the game in which case maybe an hour and a half.

03-08-2009, 02:35 PM
Depends on the day and the game(s).
Weekdays : 2 hours or so.
Weekends : If no other plans and friends are working, 5ish per day.
I don't have cable/satellite so more time goes to gaming.

i try to limit myself to 2 hour sessions. Normally i cant play any longer then that due to akward posture or my ass starts to hurt from my chair. I usually dont play more than an hour, take 15 min break check the internet out to see if anything happened maybe get up do some physical shit then ill come back and pick up where i left off. Trying to get sucked into far cry 2 atm.

Whoa. Whoa. What the fuck. Do you people even leave your houses? I actually mean, shit, that's a LOT of time to spend playing a game every week, let alone EVERY DAY.
Seriously, as dumb as it sounds, take a look at yourselves and your lives wasting away in front of you on something that is nothing!
