i remember playing some old kings quest games for ridiculous hours just to talk to every single person and click on every single item and combination of items and how many ways i could get myself killed... i was lonely. :\

Well, its hard to tell exactly how long I'v spend on ff7.. 99:59 it took a while to beef up for emerald and ruby weapon ^_^

.. I'm a slow player :X so I can make almost any game take forever XD .. i spent over 9 hours in the first chapter of FFX-2

I have.. I think about 140 hours atleast on FFX, monster capturing added a large chunk to that o.o

hmm, yeah.. I'm sure theres more.. just cant think of them atm

I have damn near 100 hours logged into Legend of Dragoon (hey I took my sweet time)

About 120 hours logged into Star Ocean: The Second Story (I'm really taking my time here)

And I think I have over 110 hours logged into Chrono Cross (I've gone back thru the game like 8 times or so)

Oh god, I completely forgot about SWG, I think I've played that for over 1000 hours. I'll be starting again in two weeks.

well, if you count AFK macroing in games im well over 1000 in SWG X'D

you really need to put time into that game to accumulate all the attacks. *remembers the long hours myself*

All playthroughs of it included, I've probably spent 400+ hours on Star Ocean 2.

I have a feeling Tales of Symphonia is going to topple that record, though. Especially considering you have to play through it at least three times to get everything, and that's if you're extremely precise on each playthrough...

Camron
August 28th, 2004, 08:49 PM
*stares* ... lol, i just got ToS.. that's always a good thing to know...

I'm like.. obsessive compulsive when it comes to games.. :X .. now im going to have to restart .. i dont even know if ive missed anything, but i have a feeling i did... so i have to restart from the beginning.. thank goodness i only have like 4 and a half hours ^^;;...

did i mention i restarted FFX-2 twice from chapter three? lost 17 hours both times.. lmao

Saiel
August 28th, 2004, 08:50 PM
But if you have to replay to get everything, anyway, why restart? O_o
Just get the things you missed the first time on a different file...

Isn't that the truth. I'm pretty sure half of the time I spent playing was just to get all the attacks.

did you know that FFX-2 has a new game+ option? :p you can carry over all your stuff to the new game, dress spheres and all. ;)

August 29th, 2004, 12:39 PM
I learned about that afterwards of course.. lol, but reguardless.. I need dressspheres NOW, they are too huge of items to miss

Civ III
Warcraft III/expansion
Starcraft/expansion
D2/expansion
Harvest Moon (N64)
Super Smash Bros. (N64/gamecube)

I think thats all

I spent about 150 playing FFX, and then 160 on playing FFX2. The latter was a total pain in the arse cause the second to last round I played I ended with 99% so I played again for the 1% so that I could get the extra clip of Tidus and Yuna at the end. As warned, it wasn't really worth it. *sigh* Sooo short and pointless, but I probably woulda gone insane had I not gone for it anyway.

I have about 115 logged for Disgaea right now. I took it off my shelf again and still playing every once in a while so yeah... counter still moving forward. ^_^

I have like aleast 10,000hrs on StarCraft. I even play this game in my dreams. SC is so damn addictive that I start having withdrawls if I don't play it for just one day. SC is everything to me if someone ever stole my SC and/or Brood War disks I would have to kill that person if I found out who stole it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Holds SC close*

Camron

I have like aleast 10,000hrs on StarCraft.
.. you do know thats like.. 416 days straight, and since it would be impossible to stay awake that long, and you cant count dream hours.. factoring in minimal sleep of atleast 4 hours a day.. that puts you playing 20 hours a day for 486 days... however, that would be if life of no sort existed, and even in a perfect world taht cannot be true. lets just factor in 7 hours a day of life, be it school or work or whatever. so now you're up to about 608 days, everyday playing starcraft every single day for 13 hours a day. lets bump your sleeping habbits up to human.. lol, 8 hours of sleep. 677 days, playing 9 hours a day.. .. wow, that's alot of starcraft dude, i think you need help

Yar! I take offense to that ya turd!
FFX is old but Ive played it like 14 times or some rediclious thing. Why? cuz I like it. The battle music has become like white noise around here. It even puts the kids to sleep X'D

I love that game. I lost a whole bunch of the dispatch missions the first time around, and I was playing with like 12 characters. But the second time through I played with 6 and have won every single mission. And yeah it's easy...I've never lost a single battle (except fighting the Bloodthirsters. They just suck). Came really close a couple of times, though.

Wolflord
October 3rd, 2004, 09:44 PM
i have like a million on halo... Yea I have something tons on ffta but the game was pointless in the end... I lent my friend all my good equip to help him beat the game and now I don't like the kid anymore and playing the game through would be pointless now (I'm at last boss so....) I never play nemore...

I've been playing Diablo 2: LoD AT LEAST 5 hours a day since it came out. Sometimes I spend the whole day playing it. I've probably made hundreds or even thousands of dollars from it, too :).

I do it all. I don't sell duped items, however. But I haven't made accounts and then sell them in a while. But the thing is, I downloaded an anti-boot program for Yahoo! ... turned out there was a keylogger in the program. So I changed all my passwords for everything on my computer. And I was in such a rush to change my passwords that I forgot what my password was to my Diablo account I've used for about 9-11 months... So, I just recently had to create a new account and start from scratch.


If you wouldn't mind lending me a hand sometime, and you're on ladder, USeast, my account is: Death_AwaitsYou .

Wow, most hours...about 252 on Zelda Windwaker. I spent the time to find every heart peice and every treasure. And for the sticklers out there: 10.5 says of straight gaming. Like I said in the thread, 'Your most Disgusting Display of Videogaming', I have an unfair advantage, being an insomniac...

No, my little brother and I played tekken for about 9 hours straight once. My brother just got impatient and turned off the playstaion after 7 hours.

Camron
November 3rd, 2004, 02:15 PM
Was he stuck or something?

I hate it when games don't make required things obvious enough XD' .. and you're like "What.. the hell. I'm not playing myst for christ sake.. " In FFX-2 I was stuck up on a part of Gagezette for like 2 hours because I couldn't find the way back down ><

I eventually found it... "Wtf, I was there before.. why didn't she jump !_!"

Kasumi-chan
November 3rd, 2004, 02:20 PM
Hee, yeah he was. I still don't think he's finished it. He got really pissed and gave up after a few months of trying to figure everything out and barely making any progress.

i was just stuck for 20 minutes on star ocean trying to figure out how to activate the next scene.. i looked it up in a faq and it turns out i have to search all over the town for my party members and talk to each one of them to get the next scene started.. it doesn't make much sense that i'd have to do that as they usually don't have anything of value to say.

I played Rainbow Six 3 for like 36 hours straight...

I'm not ladder crimson, but if you start non-ladder, I can give ya a kings ransom in noob gear and rush ya.

The most annoying damn game for me was New Legends. New Legends took me hours to get to one place, only to get stuck again. Then I stop playing it for a while, come back and get stuck in the same damn palce. Now I'm on the boss but hes a bitch

40[days]*24[hours a day] = 960

There is no way on gods green earth you have been playing for 40 days straight. Just how close to a 1000 are you?

At my most extreme MMORPG playing I would generally average around 14 hours of play a day. Thats believeable if you don't have anything going on in life. But if you factor in school or stuff like that its going to drop significantly.

40[days]*14[average play per day] = 560

560 ` 1000+

Even being generous and assuming you did absolutely nothing but play and only lived on 5 hours of sleep.-- No eating, nothing but playing and sleeping.

40[days]*19[average play] = 760

That's 240 short of 1000. Thats a significant chunk.


~~ Ok, maybe you played more than 40 days. Lets see how many days you would have had to play at each rate to get to 1000
x = Days

24x > 1000
42+ Days nonstop.

14x > 1000
72+ Days at 14 hours a day.

19x > 1000
53+ Days at 19 hours a day.
