What is this most time you've spent on one game?

[Captain Canuck]

I'm sure I've put almost one thousand hours into FFVII.

Fucking sick...

How? I couldn't even play that game twice. I did max out the time counter until I stopped though.

I learned my lesson back on FFVII with all the extra chocobo stuff you could do to get the Golden Chocobo (breeding and racing i think... it's all vague now). I did it all but it was *SOOO* frustrating. Now I never do the extra super-tedious ancillary FF tasks if I read or even suspect that they'll be annoying (lightning dodging? no thanks. i didn't even try that one). I don't need that kind of stress and aggravation.

dog$, is that 300 hours in DWVII I see in that image? How do you spend that much time? Maxing out all the character classes? Even the monster ones? I made only one of my characters into a Teen Idol and even that was a bit of a bitch. At 95 hours I was glad to be done with that game (even though I liked it). I can't even imagine another 200 hours tacked on.

My record is prolly for Street Fighter II in the arcades. 100s of hours. I lived that game for about a year.

[edit]: actually, wait. I did spend the estimated thirty or so hours it takes to get *every single* triple-triad card in VIII. that was harsh. so i guess that's when i learned my lesson, not after the chocobo torture in VII.

The Knight of the round summon spell was worth it though. The weapons would be pretty damn hard without it.

I think more impressive (read: scary) than 88mph playing that much FFVII is Saffran playing FFVIII for two-thousand hours. I cannot fathom this, unless you live in a place with a lot of electrical storms or something. Just saying.

Wow, you guys spend way too much time playing video games, hehehehe. Anyway, I spent about 96 hours playing FFX, I got 3 of the 7 ultimate weapons, I found trying to get Lulu's or Kimarhi's ultimate weapons were impossible. I was going to stat max, but realized it would take me about 150+ to do it, and did really feel like spending anymore time on that game.

I am posting this while playing Shadowbane. For the past 4 months, I have played this nearly everyday for at least 8 hours. At my old job, I played it while I worked. It's been more than 200 hours.

Morrowind might have been 500 hours.

I actually played Halo and Crazy Taxi (the first one) for 100 or so and 40 some hours playing and replaying Panzer Dragoon Orta.

Quake 3 however - has been incalulable. I'm sure the numbers are astronomic.

There's more - but it makes it seem like gaming is all I do.

The game was so much fun without Knights of the Round Table... Ruby was tough though. I had to max out about every attribute before doing this.

>ff8
Had a purple time within the first month -> played about 20 hours a day.
When I play, I play, and nothing else. Scrapped 300 hours on Shining Force 3 in one month, all the while playing Xenogears for another 96 hours. (the Saturn had to cool off after 15 hours or so)
I don't play that much anymore though.

FFVIII was the best PSX era FF IMO opinion though. I played that game twice atleast.

70 some on FFVII and IX.

Stop now while you still can. MMORPGs are a disease. There should be a 12 step program for them.

PSO ver 1&2, 600 hours and counting.

Am I the only one who got my fill of PSO after about 25 hours of play? I played through Episodes I & II, got a couple of levels into hard mode, and realized that from here on out I would be listening to pre-pubescent kids screaming for "TEH RAREZ" constantly while playing through the same levels over and over and occassionally finding a cool item. Cool game, but I don't understand why you'd pour six hundred hours of your life into it.
