Hey guys, topic says it all. But anyway, my longest (back when i was younger and had the energy/motivation) I played a game for was 3 days..without sleep, I really wouldnt reccomend this as sleep depravation caused me to hallucinate. The game was Burnout: Revenge..I remember playing it so long the next time I got into a car I wanted the driver to ram into other cars..hell I expected it even. Another time I dont remember how long it was, me and my friend were playing Borderlands so long that our necks started to hurt from keeping them in the same position for so long. Anyone have any times like this?

Definitely not to that degree. 3 days is way too much to be parked in front of a tv. i've done about 8ish hours trying to beat a Zelda game, only to have the power flash on me as i was going into the final dungeon to beat Gannon. I haven't done anything like that since.

I really can't sit with a game for more than 1.5 or 2 hrs at a stretch. Most of the time, it's even less than that. I take a lot of breaks.

Maybe 5 or 6 hours? Never been able to do it longer than that because my parents don't let me sit in front of the TV that long... And if I have a chance to, I probably have to get something else done... So yeah. Though with a PSP, I have been able to play on and off all day, getting at least 12 to 13 hours in.

Chrono Trigger. I was hooked onto the game from the moment I got it on release day and I couldn't let up. It took me a few months to complete it, but when I did, I stayed for the next three days (this was on a three-day weekend) trying to do all the sidequests and find anything else I may have missed. It was a time worth cherishing...!

I did a Halo CE marathon for a little over nine hours with a friend of mine. We completed the entire game and had pizza. Never doing that again.

Was at a Lan with some friends once where we decided to have a 24 hour session of Sins of a solar empire. Boy that was a trial eventually.

Without breaks? Probably 12 hours or so. However, 3-6 hour sessions aren't unusual for me as I generally play fairly enthralling RPGs.

by myself. only like 25 or 26 hours. Super Smash Bros Melee. As soon as I got it. I beat it with my fav characters and worked on getting the room completed. With a friend ? 50 hours or so give or take. Back and forth between CoD4 and MK Shaolin Monks. Of course both times the snack/drink/bathroom break was taking no longer then like 5 minutes though lol. I used to game HARD. I probably will this fall. For one last time. :/

Around 15 to 20 hours. I can't remember which game and it was in my early teens. It was either one of the Final Fantasy's (VII VIII IX or X) I can't remember or it was the first KIngdom Hearts game because I remember when it first came out I couldn't get enough of it. It might have been Halo CE or Halo 2 also.

One game in one sitting is probably SC2 or SC:BW with about 5-6 hours straight online with friends. I have a lot of trouble staying focused on a game for more than 2-3 hours.

A few hours probably, but my limit is normally just one hour. Unless it is a really amazing game, I take a break after an hour.

14 hours when Gears of War 2 first came out. I was such a huge fan of the first one, I played the hell out of the sequel when it first came out. Turns out I hated the game, but I didn't know that then. I won't be doing that for Gears 3. :P

A single game, probably MGS4. 14 hours the first day, 6 hours the second day. Almost finished it in a single 24 hour period.

If we factor in LAN parties skipping around between games but not actually stopping, then well over 36 hours or so. I had a terrible headache after that.

I put in 40 hours one weekend playing FF XII.

As far as a sitting... I think I played about 2/3 of Heavy Rain in one go. One of the best gaming experiences I've ever had.

I think the longest time i've played a game for one session was on Star Trek: Elite Force. I don't know why but the story of that game was so interesting that it kept me playing for just under 12 hours just to find out what happened next.

When I got Twilight Princess I played around 8 hours in one sitting and only stopped because I thought I got stuck (all I had to do was get out of the area I was in). I'm definetly trying to do this again with Skyward Sword

I'm sure I've done more but don't really know how much time did I play.

I'm gonna call you out on this. I've been up for 3 days before and theres no way I'd be able to play a video game after that amount of time being awake.
